So if you use the 0x52_URM universal mod you can search for "_special" which will find variable name: "persistent.is_special" which you can change to True from False.

This effectively enables the Incest Patch

Below are screenshots difference of what the dialogue looks like before/after the change.

I can tolerate sandboxes. If they are actually done well and aren't just a wandering-round-the-tub fest. I have exactly as much use for minigames as I do a spare hole in the head.
I don't think there's a single free roam done well. There's a constant danger of missing out optional content, clickable things aren't always apparent resulting in always having to randomly click the screen, RNG in a porn game, the insane assumption that players like "hidden secrets" and collectibles, ending up in most players resorting to using a guide and a mod to unlock all hidden stuff.

Damn a lot of negative reactions to the sandbox addition... Thought I was in the minority when it came to not being a fan of a lot of those mechanics.
Na Sandboxes are just the worst. Actual physical sandboxes are much more fun when there's stuff to play with when you're in there, it's a lot less fun when you're just sitting in sand. Games that are heavily developed over time, crammed with content, with the player being given the choice to do whatever they wish in whatever order is great. However given the nature of how these games are developed, games are never released complete and as the framework tends to be implemented first before the content, you end up with a big map with 20 or whatever places to investigate but you have to wait years and years for the content to be made for those places.

Sandboxes and version 0.1 are just..... just no... Too much "do I go here? No. Do I go here? No. Do I go here? No. Ah fuck it I'll go play Above the Clouds"

And heaven fucking help any game that introduces a sandbox with a time component....

Ok the good point, the graphism, always perfect.

The bad points, Sandbox and minigame are too far from the original game (and the minigames are ugly).

and above all, it is about the sequel of Fetish Locator, so...

Where are the fetish ???
To defend the dev a little bit, FL was pretty vanilla at launch, try playing just week 1, day 1 then imagine having to wait 6 weeks for day 2 (and day 3 took even longer as it was released in multiple parts)

As if it wasn't enough that they decided to use Stacy one of the most boring romantic routes in Fetish Locator and turn it into canon for a sequel, the only way this could be worse would be if they decided to use Lydia's endings for the sequel, they had to go out of the way to fill it with a equally boring sandbox system completed with a point and click minigame. :cautious:(n)

And on top of that they decided to make some weird variation of sudoku as a minigame too! :WaitWhat::WaitWhat::WaitWhat:
WHY? :FacePalm: :FacePalm: :FacePalm:

And now they already re-introduced Am-Rose who is pissed and with reason because of the shit Mike and Stacy pulled on "Ending Nº1". But by the end of the conversation she seems okay with Mike again?
Frankly this whole sequel feels like a badly done excuse to reintroduce the whole cast or most of them in a diferent setting while adding some new characters here and there.

Only reason i don't put a 2 stars review yet is because this is just a first release. However what i saw doesn't give me much confidence on the future of this game.

Here's an incest patch for the game. You only need to add it once, it will save the change in your persistent file (saves). Copy/extract 'game' folder from the attached archive into SM root folder (where the .exe is).

If you'd like to disable it down the line, you can do persistent.is_special = False in the console.
Not much need for it right now, but there's surely more to come.

Is there any actual s&m involved? It's in the title, but not in the preview pictures?

F Locator was a great game.
This version of sequel is boring. I never understand this kind of "mini game". do you think you've made a scientifict game with a casse tête?
I stop playing and delete the game and i hope in next time we can skip this bullshit.
sorry but it's a porn game and nothing more .

Have not played this yet, will a bit later today, but I enjoy a well crafted sandbox game with minigames included.

The Free reign sessions in BID along with fixing up the house were some of my favorite bits in BID.

I don't understand all the hate.
