My MC has no name in the Holiday special and the console commands don't seem to work. Any tips?

Edit: Never mind, it worked just took a few lines for some reason.

So my understanding is that the Definitive Edition was released, then Definitive Edition "Elite", and then a few more updates after that.

There's Lain's mod, and there's scrappy's mod. But afaik they were both made with 1.0 Definitive Edition in mind and weren't updated after that. I'm not knowledgeable on what the changes were in the last few official updates.

So I guess my question is, are either Lain or scrappy's mods still compatible with the most current version of this game? I know most of the time the answer to that kind of question would be "No", but every now and then it's "Yes", so I was just wondering if anyone knew.

I think I still have the 1.0 DE version. But wasn't sure what I might be missing out on if I played it instead of the most recent.

I do think Lain's might be as they have labeled v1.0 Steam, and Steam only got the DE/ELiTE with everything included, can test and always just delete then re-extract the archive if it does not, you can give also URM a whirl, it's compatible with almost every game.

The version here is the most updated Steam/COG version, has both side games included, and should be the most complete version available unless I'm missing something, but I've looked over it a few times before the thread got updated.

Looking through them I saw that there was an Alternate Ending referenced with the scrappymod stuff. Do you happen to know if that's something that was officially added, or if it was something added exclusively by that mod using fan-art etc.?

I'm guessing it might have been something cut but it was still in the files.

You can just test them all, like I said just do the nuke and retract the archive again if they foobar it.

My biggest concern is missing any content or features that were added post-1.0 but will not be triggered because whichever mod I'm using doesn't account for it in the script files etc. And I don't really know how to detect that outside of doing a full playthrough with the un-modded vanilla version and then another one with a mod installed :unsure:

Like I said if you are just looking for WT, URM detects that stuff, can unlock paths, all that good stuff as well.

I haven't used it yet but do keep hearing about it. The Lain and scrappy mods do things like enabling seeing all options in a scene instead of having to just choose one or two. Does it also do things like that? I'm unfamiliar with the URM, but hearing about it so much that I'm going to have to check it out soon.

It just depends, URM can do things like that in other games, force path you are not supposed to be on, but I mean you've got the gallery for this game and has a bunch of scenes.

There is this to, 50/500 chance it works, even though it says universal, it's not quite yet: Universal Gallery Unlocker [2023-12-06] [ZLZK], I'm pretty sure URM has it somewhere as well to unlock.

You can use URM on top with other mods as well.

This is what I get when I used the Universal Gallery Unlocker:

It shows the Lost Memories and Holiday Specials scenes for the Steam Version.

Steam version is missing the Patreon exclusive alt costumes.

I've reintroduced the Elite content from the 1.0 into the 1.0.3 GOG (Steam) version.

I'm not sure if this is the only difference with the true 1.0.3 Elite, but if I test the content in the game and/or with the gallery unlock previously posted, it works and you have the alternate endings.

Extract to [somewhere on your disk]\Dreams.of.Desire.Definitive.Edition.v1.0.3.MULTi5-GOG and overwrite old files.

Feel free to comments or report any error (y)
