Lots of interesting stuff being discussed here, seeing a lot of intriguing opinions and discovering some things about the game I didn't know. For instance, even though I am familiar with the site they are hosted on I had no idea the restoration mod or textmod existed for this game. I would be interested in taking a closer look at those when or if they catch up to the current version of DoL.
But that aside... I'm sure this question has been asked fifty times already at least, but trying to find the right keywords to search for a prior discussion of the subject, so here I go:
Which mod do people tend to use for this and why?
I'm really curious, mostly because I've been considering trying out some of the mods myself but don't know which ones might appeal to me the most since their summarized descriptions on the mod page don't tell you much. The only one of the mods I've played so far has been Herm NPCs, which has very little impact aside from allowing the world to have other hermaphrodites than my character. And while I do enjoy that aspect - and will enjoy it even more once content for impregnating/being impregnated by named NPCs, if the mod can handle that - I've been curious about something with a bit more content, like Doren Days or World Expansion.
Now, it's worth mentioning that I'm not a fan of rape (I might have been interested in the aforementioned Life as a boy with it reportedly being more focused on romance and consensual content, which is more my cup of tea, though I'm sadly not at all interested in male-male), which may sound completely insane from someone playing this game. I usually see the rapists and abusers as challenges to overcome in order to pursue love interests and, quite frankly, accumulating power and wealth. I'd also really prefer to play the most recent version, so that has something of an impact. I guess it at least rules out the BEEESSS mod (which, correct me if I'm wrong, seems to only replace the character sprite anyway), which seems highly popular, as well as a few others.
