Hello! I`m a first time poster here, but i`ve been playing this game (and it`s other "siblings") over the past 2 or 3 years. I`ve undertaken this morning the monumental task of downloading and integrating in the game most of the various mods in the mods spreadsheet(26.6 Gb of downloads!). I am not familiar with coding or modding, but i work in IT so i`m very familiar with computers and operating systems, so i noticed several things that i don`t think are right, mainly some of the mods folders don`t go where i think they are supposed to go:
1. For example, directly in the "/game" folder i have a "_shared_events" folder containing 1 event called "wip_big_booty_threesome" and a "_shared_photoshoots" folder containing 31 photoshoots. Aren`t this 2 folders supposed to be in the "game/_mods" subfolder. Is this ok?
2. In the "/game/_mods" folder i have a "shared_photoshoots" folder that contains 2 photoshoots of Alex Grey with some other 2 girls. Shouldn`t the content of "shared_photoshoots" actually be in the "/game/_mods/_shared_photoshoots" folder? I didn`t verify in game yet if the photoshoots work or are available as i didn`t get the chance to recruit Alex Grey yet.
3. In the "/gme/_mods" folder i have both a "mother" folder containing Bethany Benz and also a "mothers" folder containing all the rest of the mothers.
4. In the "/game/_mods/girls/" folder, some girls subfolders (Jade Kimiko, Kenzie Reeves, Krystal Boyd, Kylie Quinn, Lola Fae, Skylar Vox) contain the "_shared_photoshoots" and "_shared_videoshoots" folders. Shouldn`t these be in the "game/_mods" folder, instead of the girls folder?
5. I might have added some girls to the wrong folder (Alexia Anders, Brittney White, Jade Kimiko, Marie Rose, Rae Lil Black). I added them to the "games/_mods/girls" folder because that`s what i considered to be the "main folder" as per the spreadsheet instructions and my experience with previous added mods. Is this correct? So far i haven`t seen either of them being available to enlist in school.
I don`t know how coding works, and i don`t know how this particular game finds it`s source directories, but is it ok to have x folders containing the same type of resource all over the place, instead of having 1 folder for each resource type? 1 "_shared_photoshoots" folder for ALL shared photoshoots, 1 "_shared_videoshoots" folder for ALL shared videoshoots, 1 "girls" folder for ALL girls and 1 "mothers" folder for ALL mothers.
Anyway, as long as the mods ALL work properly and nothing is actually missplaced by mistake, i don`t mind, it just looks messy; and in high quantities, when you have many girls added to the game, it`s hard to track what is where and if the folders are in the right place or not. To this end, i would recommend:
1. That the person/s responsible of adding mods to the downloads spreadsheet THOROUGHLY checks the contents of what he/they add and make sure that EVERYTHING is in the right place and FUNCTIONAL and COMPATIBLE between versions.
2. All the modders that create content should follow the same archiving procedure, mainly when creating the archive they should make sure the path starts with the "game" folder, so when you unzip the archive you get the "game" folder containing all the rest of their respective content subfolders. Then you just copy that over the game`s "game" folder and that`s it, you`re done. I know there are instructions in the spreadsheet of what should go where, but after downloading 27 Gb of files (71 files in my case) it`s extremely tedious to go back and forth to check for each individual archive. Not to mention the instructions sometimes are vague or outdated. It takes something like 5 or 10 extra seconds for a modder to add the CORRECT FULL PATH to the archive when they create it, anyone saying anything contrary to this is either just lazy or doesn`t give a shit about details that might prevent a user to enjoy their creation. I`ve spent a few good hours unzipping and reading and making sure i`ve done my best to put everything where it belongs when this procedure could have been a LOT simpler and easier and not so time consuming, without even having a guarantee that i`ve done everything right and everything is where it SHOULD be or that it is compatible with the newest version of the game.
3. Maybe someone that is a more responsible and detail oriented person could integrate some of the mods, if not all, in one single supermod? It would be a HUGE QOL improvement...
Now that i`ve gotten this out of my system (it`s been stressing me for half a day already until i decided to write this post
)
I have a few questions/suggestions. Is Dexell still active? I am wondering if his Rules mod could be modified to add some more rules, like "Force Heels", "Force High Heels", "Force Thigh Highs/Fishnets". As an avid admirer of the female beauty, i consider that if a girl/woman has a "slut" or "whore" tag, she should also dress the part. And a slut should be in fishnets and stripper high heels, not in short socks and flip-flops or ugly clogs... come on! Especially if she has a "corruption" attribute of 100
. Also, would it be possible to display the socks/stockings in a different/separate/individual window than the window displaying her equipped shoes? It would be a very nice visual improvement.
Also, a question for Davemanster. Could you maybe expand and add to your clothes mod a few more sluttish high and very high heeled shoes (i admit, i like my sluts to be in high or very high heels
) and maybe a few more fishnets and sexy thigh-highs? The mod contains a pretty decent and balanced amount of clothes and underwear and even shoes, but seriously lacks in the sluttish shoes/stockings department. This is a porn game afterall
. Also, could it be made that each piece of clothing have a ranking system or something similar? I mean, let`s take shoes for example because i talked about them. Could it be made that shoes have a corruption requirement that increases the higher the sluttiness of the shoes go? For example, flats and school shoes require 0-33 corruption, medium heeled shoes require 33-66 corruption and high heels require 66-100 corruption, or something like that. I mean, seeing how a totally corrupted girl still comes to school in the same flats she used to wear on the first day when she arrived is, for me at least, very disappointing, considering that a. she has the Platform High Heels in her inventory and b. that this is a CORRUPTION game and i truly enjoy the process of corrupting a girl and seeing the effects of that corruption in her attire changes.
Also, could chokers/collars be added to the clothes/items and rules system? They could function like the buttplugs, adding some stats like affection/fear or discipline/corruption while they are worn. It would also be nice if they could get their own individual display window of equipped clothes.
And i think i found a bug. I`ve gifted fetish latex stockings, sexy maid outfits and cosplay dresses to more than a few girls and their mothers. They ask me if i want them to wear those items, i say yes, but they are not wearing them. Admittedly, i only gifted them to already fully corrupted girls with corruption and naturism 100, so i mostly see them naked now, but still, shouldn't there be at least one occasion when they actually wear those items and i can see how they look in them!? Or the least of all, show me that they have the clothes equipped on them, like when they go to school, or when i undress them to have fun with them!?
