If you find the time could you answer a few questions?

Questions on clothing:

1. So clothing has a quality level that affects attractiveness. Is there a list somewhere of the order in which the quality description tags increase? For example outstanding quality is obviously better than low, but is reasonable better than average? Is beautifully made better than outstanding? An ordering of how these tags work would be great.
2. I've noticed that clothing now has a tag/description based on where it was purchased such as formal for Mon Cheri, expensive for Fashionista, etc. I hadn't seen these tags when I played previously. Do they have any effect on how others react to you? Like if I go around wearing Mon Cheri will people react as if I'm dressed too formally? If I wear clothing from the sex shop will people react like I'm a slut/bimbo?
3. Do all of the "stats" for clothing affect attractiveness? As in, if two outfits were the same (same top exposure, quality, figure exposure) except that one had a shorter skirt would that one always be more attractive?
4. What is "strength" in regards to a piece of clothing? They all seem to have it. Mon Cheri has a low strength while others are "stronger". I haven't noticed this game to have wear and tear. Have I just missed it?

And some other questions on attractiveness:

1. Does body fat affect attractiveness, and if so, is skinnier always better or is there some optimal value?
2. Do any of your "stats" affect attractiveness? For example does being stronger make you more or less attractive?
3. Does the level of makeup that you put on have an effect on how people treat you? I figured when I started that thicker would just be better because sluttier=hotter in most of these games. I've started to doubt that, however. Also curious about where tanning and lash extensions are better or worse in some situations.

That's a lot of questions but if you could answer any of them that would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

if CloQuality = 1:
    $description = 'This crappy quality outfit'
elseif CloQuality = 2:
    $description = 'This very low quality outfit'
elseif CloQuality = 3:
    $description = 'This low quality outfit'
elseif CloQuality = 4:
    $description = 'This average quality outfit'
elseif CloQuality = 5:
    $description = 'This reasonable quality outfit'
elseif CloQuality = 6:
    $description = 'This good quality outfit'
elseif CloQuality = 7:
    $description = 'This is an outstanding quality outfit'
end

But yes, all clothes have stats, but it seems the code have changed a lot since I learned anything about it.

1.
With the Schoolgirl start I have a job as a Maid in the Hotel next to Pavlovsk train station.

For several evenings I observed 1-2 mistresses playing with their slaves in their room (and spied on them).
Well, finally I have been caught and mistress (after calming me down by telling that my job (as maid) isn't in danger) told me something about meeting her after 8 PM or any day thereafter.
I assumed that she meant, meeting her in her hotel room, but there is no additional entry in the menu for the Pavlovsk Hotel ... only the usual entries for reception, leaving or killing some time (and I also haven't met her again while doing my job as a maid)

Unfortunately I only read cursory over the dialogue, therefore I am totally lost where I should find said mistress. I assume that it isn't Natascha Petrovna from St. Petersburg

Is this an incomplete quest chain? Or is there someplace else where I have to look?
...

Tiny addition to this part of my question:
I rummaged through the sourcecode and found the dialogue passage in

Seems like a dead end.
But the text reveals that it is Lariskas mother.

Maybe befriending Lariska and getting invited to her home gives a continuation to the Pavlovsk mistress storyline

I hope this is the right place to post this but the whole menstruation and pregnancy system needs a re-work, i think. Going 30+ days without getting periods, having to use cheats to cause them, periods not stopping after having started using cheats, etc are just some bugs encountered so far. Over 150 days into the game, so have made a lot of progress! Can't risk losing it all by starting a new playthrough!

Also in another instance, the additional description window kept on giving hints like your period is late by 'x' number of days and your abdomen hurts. Did pregnancy test almost every day for 5 days with it showing not pregnant, Went to the clinic and tried to take a birth control shot. Surprise surprise, the mc is pregnant! Came back home and the tests NOW started to show the mc was pregnant. The whole system is rather confusing.

If these are bugs, please look into it devs. If these aren't bugs, any and all help will be much appreciated!

Periods can stop for a couple of reasons, very low weight, pregnancy or birth control. The last one is usually only from the shot but you can miss them when on the pill (very rare).
Pregnancy will not show for some time as per rl. You need to have a certain amount of indicator chemicals in your urine first and that only happens after a couple of weeks. The system in game is mimicing rl in many ways.
That said it is not always perfect and can sometimes go wrong.

Niko's lunchtime event at the school is broken, all options disappear once you click on 'Corridor' during the rape in the cafeteria. Also seem to remember being able to go out with Artem in the park and being assaulted by Gopniks while he was forced to watch, but can't get that event now. Am I locked in with Niko as BF? When talking to Anushka I can say who my BF is and Niko is the option that comes up.

The first issue has been fixed in the dev version, the Artem event is pretty rare and you have to be on the romance route with him, that stops as soon as he thinks you're a slut.
'Nush will say that as she has a special reply for Niko but it doesn't mean anything more than the special text, you can leave Niko and she'll not even notice

Does anybody know why can't i buy a dog in this version of the game, im playing transformation start so i have the apartment in the city recidential area. pet emporium only lets me buy the parrot and rabbit.

You need the bestie mod as all of that content has been moved to a seperate mod to give people the option to use it or not.

This has been said before, maybe, but i'll make a new post about it to get it off my mind: dominant path with the brother.

As a gopnik, my PC flushed the homework guy's head down the toilet. She dominates. A problem with the brother path currently is the lack of that.
She's either a good girl who helps her brother with his homework or a slut that follows his every whim.

What i'm asking for is the dominant path: bad relationship, smack his head, force him to do her homework, have him fear her, bully him, turn him into a submissive servant/slave.
Make sex acts as rewards of submission and loyalty.
Take control of him and his friends as gophers.
Let him meet Igor and have them as your subordinates in your quest to gopnik queendom.
Heil Sveta, queen of the cucks!

I agree and the family is our focus for the next dev cycle so maybe you'll get some of this. Depends on writer availability and how much we can fit things to the main story.

2.
What about the "Heel Wearing Ability"?
It seems to exist since 2 years in the Girl-Life-wiki, but neither the Transgendered start, nor the schoolgirl start seem to have it displayed. Also, in both starts I was able to wear heeled shoes from the beginning on, without any problems

3.
I noticed that in the school girl start in Pavlovsk there are occasionally some advertisements in the stairwell of the gropund floor of your appartment house.

At the moment they are just pictures with cyrillic advertisements. WHile I have a little bit knowledge of cyrillic (and therefore can figure out (with the help of google translate), what it is written there) it is a rather slow process.
Any plans to put an english translation below the pics?

1. That's unfinished but will continue in the next version. She is most definitely not Nat from the city.

2. it just gives you pain if you wear heels to high for the ability. Its a hiden stat atm, but there's some plans to change the way stuff like that is viewable so might change to a visable stat.

3. Those are just images the Russian devs added . They are not important and just add a little background flavour.

I've started to doubt that, however. Also curious about where tanning and lash extensions are better or worse in some situations.

That's a lot of questions but if you could answer any of them that would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I don't know, I;m very important.

Clothing:
1.
if CloQuality = 1:
$description = 'This crappy quality outfit'
elseif CloQuality = 2:
$description = 'This very low quality outfit'
elseif CloQuality = 3:
$description = 'This low quality outfit'
elseif CloQuality = 4:
$description = 'This average quality outfit'
elseif CloQuality = 5:
$description = 'This reasonable quality outfit'
elseif CloQuality = 6:
$description = 'This good quality outfit'
elseif CloQuality = 7:
$description = 'This is an outstanding quality outfit'
end
2. Mostly no, there are a couple of places like the restaurant that expect you to wear clothing from one of the nicer shops but that is all.
3.
CloAdjustedBeauty = bonusZ + pcs_apprncbase * (PXCloThinness + PXCloTopCut + PXCloBottomShortness) * PCloQuality / 5000 + PShoQuality
So its the thinness of material, how low the top is and how high the bottoms are muliplied by quality and divided by 5000.
4. There is wear and tear and the strength of any clothing you have worn in a day will be reduced by 1 strength during the overnight calculation.

Others:
1. Too fat or too skinny is bad, best is the wide middle ground. We didn't make it too harsh.
2. Not that I know of, but there is some weird stuf in the body file that might make a link somewhere in the body shape part. The impact would be so watered down that its not worth worring about.
3. Not much reaction based on these things. for the makeup, the really plastered on is only useful if whoring. Tanning is good and the lashes do add a small bonus to beauty, it minor but can be helpful.

In general we haven't set things to be "This is the best, so do this." You should be free to have the hair style/colour you want or to be more muscular and its possible to max beauty without doing everything perfectly.

Thanks for the clarification.
And jep, it would be nice if High Heels Wearing ability as well as Heel size of the shoes would be a little bit more prominent in the game.

I mean, my current Schoolgirl Main Character, according to the pics of the shoes, was wearing ~7 cm heeled shoes practically from the beginning on, without probs ... and now (end of year 1) has switched to wearing Overknee Boots with ~10-12 cm platform heels (according to the pic) all day without any pains.
I guess that means that currently High Heel Wearing Ability, if at all, only affects you if you are wearing extremly high heeled fetish shoes from the sex shop (like Ballet Boots)

Selling Trinkets at Pavlovsk station:
Is there anything that I can do (or any attribute that I can train) in order to not easily get caught by police?

 

[Danyzinha]

I have some doubts and suggestions, but I do not understand English, so I will always use Google Tadutor (sorry if it gets bad).
1 - A suggestion I make is that some videos / gifs are changed because it does not fit the environment, for example: sex in the room with the brother and one of the gifs is a "couple" in a doctor's office, or sex in the stepfather's garage and in the gif it's a "couple" leaning against a bed in a room.
2 - Will the online game on the computer have more content in the next updates? I like to play sometimes, but without pictures and without the presence of other players it kind of gets annoying.
3 - When using the webcam, will you have more content? There are few variations of things to do. After all, is being a porn actress helps increase the number of players?
4 - Something that has been breaking my mind since the previous version: how to have more events with Rolan? I've read it here and searched for forums (even I do not understand English), they always talk about fixing his shower, but how do you do it? I always go to his house, take a shower, I help in the kitchen, I go in the comfort of the house, but nothing happens, I try to find him sitting on the bench, but nothing new happens.
5 - This is just to report a bug. In class I talk to Igor, I ask for help in working from home, but the event does not occur. At the end of the class does not have his name as an option for me to go do the work together and every time I talk to him, I click on doing the work together. My character is edited, all friendships are 100% and deactivated pregnancy and dst, is this what is causing the bug?

Thank you in advance for understanding and thank you in advance if you respond to my comment.

I second that, after all, one big appeal of MMO(RPG)s is, to meet with other players in game.
It would be great if you could use the MMORPG in order to socialize with the Nerds of your class (after all, you know of at least one of them (Zinaida), that she is an avid player of computergames)

Making a game within a game is dangerous territory. You can end up with a whole new game or something that's crap and draws attention from the main game.
As it is it hasn't been changed since the translation and no one has shown interest in doing so. I would think its something we'll cut, but mabye add as a mod for those who enjoy it.

1. We try and find the best video we can for scenes, but some of them are not ideal. If anyone suggests a better clip or has a better mp4 then we do replace them. The same for the still images.
2. See above
3. Yes, I don't know when but that will happen.
4. There was a problem making it very hard to get the event, should be fixed in next release.
5. Again this is a bug in the code, fixed on dev version and will be good in next release.

Perhaps it wouldn't even have to be really complex, but could rather be an addition to the current system:

Leave the basic mechanics of the current MMORPG as it is,
but add something like a "Player Online"-List where (RNG determined), aside from unknown names, sometimes people appear which the player character already has met/knows, with an option to chat with them (and thereby increase your friendship with the person (but maybe with a cap per game session))

So, this addition would be something like the thing you have with the Disco event (twice a week in the community center) where, outside of the dance floor, you can chat with your classmates

In the latest dev version, there's an issue with the drinking with the gopniks event.
I was going to check it into the git repo, but I'm at a loss how development actually works, since there are dev-versions but their code is not in the repo. Weird.

If you haven't fixed it already and want to have a look, I believe there are exceess ends on line 519 and 557 of the gopskver file, after one-line actions. What happens is that the entire conversation chain is broken and options that shouldn't appear are displayed.

There's also a problem with the Albina stuff, it sometimes results in a screen with no options - haven't been able to locate the problem yet.

Yeah, I was looking at the code from github. Thanks for the heads up. And for fixing those bugs I guess.

[Jen_73]

1. Are there plans for making beer nutritious?
I mean, it is a little bit strange to down one bottle of beer after another and still go around thirsty as hell

Addendum:
2. Birthdays. It seems like now it is one day like every other (except for the line "It is your birthday"). Will there be something special planned in the near/far future? (Like parents or boy-/girlfriend giving presents or something like that)

1. Alchohol doesn't quench your thirst but the complexity of it lowering it only for it to return higher is beyond the thirst mechanic in the game, so we simplified.
2. Yeah, this has been brought up a lot but we have to make events for all possible people or limit things to say just family. Its likely a family birthday for those in Pavlovsk will be the first part but no idea exactly when.

Does anybody know why i can't see the mod management menu, i followed all steps on wiki.

Once you have started your game you can access it from the menu. You have to have one through the character setup and back story first.

Variable Name not correct

This is what I get when (with the Transgendered Start) I go to the Real Estate Agency in St. Petersburg and try to rent the appartment in Pushkin (while I still have rented the appartment in St. Petersburg with 15 days rent remaining)

Addendum:
Seems like the reason was, that I had > 10k R in my banking account, but not in cash in my purse.
After transferring money, so my purse, as well, had 10 k, everything worked well

1. Alchohol doesn't quench your thirst but the complexity of it lowering it only for it to return higher is beyond the thirst mechanic in the game, so we simplified.

Hm, we talk about a low alcoholic beverage like beer, not vodka (unless in russia, beer contains much more alöcohol, of course ... or is just another name for Vodka )

 

[Kevin Smarts]

Everything in Ruissia is vodka.

That's a typo in the file causing the problem. Posting fix to the repo now and it'll be good from the next dev build. Thanks for the report!

Are there any sugar daddies in this game?
