HTML Course of Temptation [v0.7.3] [Anthaum]

[balitz Method]

Whoever wrote the sports material doesn't know how any of them work and it's -so- apparent. I only know as much football as I've gleaned from watching when my dad has it on during the holidays and even I know that the quarterback is the only one who can throw it forward. I just saw a random player pass it to the quarterback who passed it to the PC who passed it to someone else.

The frats and sororities are pretty janky, too. It seems like the nerdy ones should have their own set of pledge tasks (one of them even advertises itself as being for people who aren't obsessed with football and school pride) and even once you've done them all you don't actually get to move into the house. Why would you ever pay dues to the house when you can't even live there?

The biggest surprise is that it managed to find new ways to move backwards from Degrees of Lewdity since I last tried it. Somehow that game, where it's not some advertised feature in the least, manages to be more inclusive and reactive to your personal expression than this one that's trying to declare itself so upfront. There's like no freedom of expression that's actually acknowledged.



NPCs will call your cute femboy in full makeup and a dress a manly hunk or treat your tall princely football-playing tomboy like a girly-girl because the game somehow manages to go so far in avoiding commentary on clothing choices that it wraps all the way back around to being essentialist.

So many aspects of the world seem like they're held together with tape. I can't imagine that I'm the first person to notice these things.

You obviously don't know NFL as well as you think you do.

Following up on my previous comment about the roommate's gender, I dug into the game code and found a way to fix the rng gender selection by uncommenting code that already exists to let us choose our roommate's possible genders at the start of a new game with a fully customised PC gender. For those that wish to try it out, you'll need to Ctrl-F search through the game code for 'if setup.gender_db().custom' and either delete this block of code;
<<if setup.gender_db().custom>>
/* overriding roommate selection (the imperfectly progressive college decides this) */
<<set _pcgender to setup.pcgender()>>
<<set setup.gender_db().custom["roommate genders"] to setup.get_gender_node(_pcgender, "roommate genders")>>
<</if>>
Or comment it out so you can undo things later by simply changing it to this;
/*<<if setup.gender_db().custom>>
overriding roommate selection (the imperfectly progressive college decides this)
<<set _pcgender to setup.pcgender()>>
<<set setup.gender_db().custom["roommate genders"] to setup.get_gender_node(_pcgender, "roommate genders")>>
<</if>>*/
Then search for 'Which of these genders might be assigned as a roommate of this character?' and replace that whole section of code so that it looks like this (I had to add extra linebreaks after uncommenting it to make the text look neat ingame);
<br><br>
Which of these genders might be assigned as a roommate of this character?
<br>
<label><<checkbox "_custom_gender_roommate_cisgender_woman" false true autocheck>> Cisgender Woman</label>
<br>
<label><<checkbox "_custom_gender_roommate_cisgender_man" false true autocheck>> Cisgender Man</label>
<br>
<label><<checkbox "_custom_gender_roommate_transgender_woman" false true autocheck>> Transgender Woman</label>
<br>
<label><<checkbox "_custom_gender_roommate_transgender_man" false true autocheck>> Transgender Man</label>
<br>
<label><<checkbox "_custom_gender_roommate_nonbinary_afab" false true autocheck>> Nonbinary (assigned female at birth)</label>
<br>
<label><<checkbox "_custom_gender_roommate_nonbinary_amab" false true autocheck>> Nonbinary (assigned male at birth)</label>
<br><br>
Again, you can comment it out like before if you change your mind later. But if you did it correctly, you should now be able to pick your roommate's gender (it only appears if you click the option to customize your gender rather than use one of the gender presets). It works even if you are a cis female and they are a cis male etc. No more gender restrictions! I dunno if it will cause issues with the rmpartner questline though, so test it at your own risk.
