Part of me does wish for a form of 'photogenic' slider which can be improved with things like makeup. As it stands it is impossible to roleplay a below average person in the beginning as from the outset your pc is approached, complemented, propositioned and crushed on in a way that is unrealistic for many (hint, hint, me). This also limits the arc of the gameplay as there's less room for improvement. While the main focus appears to be corruption in a way and the customization a way of visualising the effects of that, it also, along with sliders like weight and fitness, alludes to a level of attractiveness. Yes there are preferences, and one can wear nerdy clothes to be considered a nerd, but there is also some objectivity to appearance. When I wear nice clothes or get a new haircut I'm not suddenly approached at parties and asked for sex, and again, self reporting, this completely takes me out of the mindsets of about half the characters I'd like to play. Ideally you would start innocent and unnoticed, and slowly become more outgoing and 'deviant'. This would also bring an extra element of difficulty to the attention slider. I think inclusivity goes both ways and by choosing, accidentally avoiding or not getting around yet to the unpopular lifestyle ends up taking away depth and realism. Even 'popularity' as seen with streaming could be a decent representation, affected by behaviour around campus and whether you look after yourself regardless of style (nerdy clothes can be a fashion choice so there'd need to be other roleplay differences). Thanks for reading.

The sex scenes end early if both parties cum.
HOWEVER as long one of them doesn't orgasm then the scene won't end unless its because they are exhausted, so if you do oral you could cum over like 7 times but the moment the other hroup cums then the scene would end, same happens the other way around (NPC cumming over 5 times while you have not yet climaxed)

Males don't cum more often than once, as far as I know. Even the description speaks of a "spent dick". At that point you basically only wait for the the other partner to cum once and then the scene is over.
Don't see anyone mentioning it, can i use more than 1 special world seed like how it is in the game "The Company" where you use multiple special cheat text in their older version (now their cheats are in-game)?
Examples: firmhand (dominant), waterworld (watersports), gonewild (exhibitionist and voyeurs).

If I where to take a guess I would say that you would most likely just end up with a random world if you tried that but it's certainly not impossible for them to code it to work to an extent, or it may just setup based on ether the first or last keyword.
Fun game overall, not usually into text-based game but this one swallowed me for a few hours. Just some suggestions I had after playing for awhile (I ended up doing a lot of streaming):
1 - IRL streams could be fun. Maybe I missed it, but I wasn't able to any IRL streams, but I think that could lead to some fun exhibitionist interactions, like stream seeing you getting groped on the bus or your parasocial fan stream-sniping you.
2 - I don't get why you need to wear pants while streaming. I imagined the player character streaming at a desk, so I don't think you'd need to wear pants.
3 - Let the player masturbate while the roommate is in the room. Maybe I'm not at a high enough exhib level (I got to 7) or dishib level (also 7), but feels weird that you can't fap when your roommate is in the room but you'll let a bunch of people in the lounge grope you while watching porn.
4 - Related to 2, could be fun to call someone over (or have your roommate if you're fuckbuddies/dating) and do oral under the desk while you stream. I'd imagine a lot of interesting interactions with chat and composure checks to see how obvious it is that something is happening. Maybe if the oral is intense enough it could be picked up on the microphone too.
5 - Sort of like 4, it could be fun for if you're sitting next to a fuckbuddy/partner, that they could jerk you off or do oral under the desk while in class. At high enough exhibition levels and with high enough favor with teachers it could be interesting if the entire class ends up watching you two fuck.
Some of this stuff might already be in the game and I haven't seen it yet, but if they haven't been done yet, these would be fun additions.

Form a polycule (a polyamorous relationship with at least 2 other people). Then chooose "hang out as a polycule" as a date option; the option to invite the rest of the people in a polyamorous relationship to said hang out will be available. This can/does trigger a threesome.
I've enjoyed this quite a bit overall. Intuitive, lots of content. I do have to say that some parts could use a bit of trimming down. The roommate storyline especially takes ages (and it still feels that way, even though I have the multipliers turned up all the way). Still haven't managed to trigger the scene (which apparently exists) where you catch him masturbating.

That one can only trigger after 50 days, if i recall good.. Yes takes a bit of time..
So what usually happens with a npc with high dislike of you? I tend to start a new save everytime the game updates.
Yeah, but I'd still really like a male main character to be able to cum multiple times even if all your partners have also already done so already. Giving facials/creampies especially if your partner tells you to is really hot.
It does seem that way for male NPCs which makes it a bit dull after they've blown their load.

Having carefully studied the game, I realized the following - the concept of this game does not imply cheating on the part of other NPCs towards the player. Only a player can cheat on his lover, and a lover, even if he has the Cheater perk, is always absolutely 100% faithful and loyal to the player, literally his relationship does not develop with anyone other than the player if they are in a love relationship. There are no options, events or actions that would lead to the NPC acting behind the player's back so that would be tempted. And the saddest thing is that, apparently, the developers do not plan to add this content, here the world revolves exclusively around the player and nothing in this game can hurt his feelings - player is literally a porcelain vase that they are afraid of breaking. Other NPCs cannot blackmail the player, cannot make advances towards his beloved, cannot force the player to do anything by threatening shameful incriminating evidence - nothing. 85% of the perks that exist are nothing more than achievements that reflect the player’s statistics and sometimes add small positive or negative modifiers. For example, the game has the Stoner perk, which implies drug addiction, but if the NPC has it, you will never see the NPC needing drugs, taking them or shaking for a dose, entering into dubious relationships with other NPCs. Here the world revolves solely around the player. Even in such ancient games that have long been abandoned, like LifePlay, all this is there, it may not be implemented in the best way, but it is still available in many options. As of today, Course of Temptaion is a very vanilla version of Degrees of Lewdly, with almost no non-consensual content. This is neither good nor bad, it is as it is. It’s just that the tags that are present in the game’s theme do not fully reflect its content, which is why you begin to study the game, deceiving your expectations.

The dev isn't interested in rape content. Having a life sim where you don’t have to worry about every interaction leading to being violated has it's audience. There may be dub con elements but the player can back out anytime.
The relationship system is pretty new so it may be expanded in the future to have npcs cheat on their partner but the mc is the focus at this time.
This game appears to want to go for a more light hearted tone so while there may be drug use I don’t think they're going to go full blown crack head in how it's depicted.
afaik dev has toned down any non-con content to dub-con. Patreon, etc. afaik there was explicitly non-con content early on but that was changed.

The may become your rivals (game asks you if you wanna put them into that category). If said NPCs also lust for you, they may become your hatefucks (again, the game asks you if you're ok with that), meaning you'll bump into them to have sex but will hate you anyway.
I must be really unlucky then i went through 3 different times up to the end of the term and it never activated for male mc

Some early scenes like that as I understand it, however now been disabled. It's a shame, so many devs have had interesting ideas - to end up diluting them to bow down to fascist Hatereon's censorship. It's what it is.
There are games like that? Do tell
Unless you refer to DoL where the most I've been able to trigger is some groping on the bus towards school.

How the heck do you do that, though? I advanced the Best Friend plot to the point where it comes up, and she agreed to start a poly relationship, but I have no idea how to get anyone else to join. I cheated to add the Polyamorous trait to a couple of NPCs and have been dating them a lot, got the Romance bar almost maxed on one, and very high on the other. Have hit all of the "date card" milestones with both, but never see any opportunity to get them to join the group.
