Due to the need to patch BepInEx 5.3 plugins to BepInEx 5.4 format, as well as initial caching of zipmods, initial/first launch will take longer than usual. This is a one time thing, until plugins are updated for the new format and zipmods are cached.

From this release onward, the optional modpack for Studio is no longer bundled with the main repack. If you want that, you may find it on my download site treated as its own repack.

If you have trouble starting the game, start the game once through the launcher (InitSetting.exe), this will check for errors and fix them as well before starting the game.

You can update the sideloader modpack (clothing mods etc) from the launcher. Just press the icon in the lower left corner of the launcher with the arrow to check for updates. I'm updating that more often than the main pack, so should get some updates there every so often ;)


This is the readme for the pack, detailing the contents:​

Code:
Release
<--------------------->

No donations // no ad-maze // no upfront payment
If you paid for this, you were scammed!
If you like the game, please buy it!
If you enjoy the mods, please consider donating to the modders on patreon where possible.

This pack is made with a up2date base game as of 17.01.2019, along with the components listed in credits, all up2date as of the release date of this pack. Some extras have been included, but are either easily removable or are sorted into folders marked [OPTIONAL]. Enjoy!

To add shortcuts to your desktop of the launcher and the most important folders for the game, feel free to run '[BR] Create Desktop Icons.bat'.

If you have trouble starting the game, start the game once through the launcher (InitSetting.exe), this will check for errors and fix them as well before starting the game.

[B]IF YOU'RE MOVING FROM ANOTHER REPACK:[/B]
I don't recommend just extracting this over another repack, due to potential conflicts. Please extract this to its own folder and move over your chara, cap, studio and save folders.

[B]WANT A VANILLA PACK?[/B]
If you wish to convert this pack into a vanilla pack, there is a included script named '[BR] Vanillify the game.bat' that gives you the following options:
1. Remove only translation, leaving the rest of the mods intact
2. Remove all BetterRapack Extras
4. Remove all BetterRepack Extras, mods and translation
Feel free to use this script to customize your install, but keep in mind that using this may make the game incompatible with future repack updates, requiring you to download the next repack in full!

[B]WANT YOUR CARD OR SCENE INCLUDED IN THE NEXT REPACK?[/B]
Feel free to DM me on discord (ScrewThisNoise#3544) with the card(s) and/or scene(s), and I'll see what I can do for the next release. (See community links for server link)

[B]What is included in the base game?[/B]
- Base release game
- All preorder extras
- Newest official update as of 30.10
- Premium Miko DLC
- Premium Succubus DLC2
- Premium Sister DLC

There are two download options, Full for newcomers, Update for people that already have my previous packs (So they don't have to download all of it over again). If you experience ANY problem after using the update pack, please use the full pack before reporting any problems.



Share this pack as you want, re-host it or whatever.. All credit goes to the modders actually making this possible
Feel free to tell me if you reupload the pack anywhere else! :)

I'd very much appreciate it if you would all think about supporting me on patreon, but keep in mind that I won't paywall my packs, this is just for supporting me making my packs better :)
Running well so far - thanks for your endeavour :love:

And very nice feature: observing the loading process (y)

Heya.

What does the 90+ GB Sideloader Modpack include? Is it only studio stuff (assets), character cards and clothing or what?
I guess you´re meaning the correctly named "Optional Sideloader Modpack Studio", actually > 190GB size.
This is ONLY for StudioNEO and not usable in the game.

So I'm trying to load into the game, but when it's trying to load all plugins, it gets stuck on sideloader 19.3 and freezes. Game won't start because of it. Any fix?

Help, I have a problem. I have downloaded the latest version of the game and when I want to use the Ashoka card I get bald. I have downloaded several different ones but the same thing always happens to me.

Where can I find Ashoka Tano's head/hair skin to solve that?

Also to you my standard question: how´s about your game location?
Search my postings on the last pages.

If your game location is correct we need to know more detailed informations about your install.

Is this card part of BetterRepack?
If so pls write the full file name here so I can find it to test.
Otherwise share the card here for testing.

turbojoe I'm almost sure I downloaded them from the illusion cards website.

I have several different versions and they all have the same error (they all leave me without hair)

These are the 3 versions I have and they all have the same error

jojo901 thanks for the archive but
What should I do with it, put it in a specific folder, if so, in which one?
Do I have to "install" it in some way?

unzip it and put it into mods/MyMods Folder (if you don't have the MyMods folder, create it). This Mod works with this card

Game location is D: Honeyselect 2. I installed the R14 version from BR using torrent. I have the same issue with Koikatsu but Koikatsu sunshine works perfectly if that helps.

my ram hits 80-90% usage, i have 64gigs of ram, that means the games using 50+gigs of ram, and will keep ramping up untill the game crashes
Are you sure you did not borked the virtual memory AKA pagefile? Despite what the 20-year-old guides says, you need not to touch it on modern OS from "auto". Actually, too low value can lead to such behaviour on any RAM size.

So I´m very sorry but at the end of my wisdom :rolleyes:

Do you talk about a clean new install without any transfering from an old game version?

OK I have fixed it but halfway the problem is that if I go to a room or to the public balls or to happiness it still appears bald. How can you edit the outfits when you are in those settings to be able to give it the "correct head"?

Yeah, clean install
It´s annoying not to solve your problem.
Usually torrent downloads are very safe belonging corrupted parts, and if so you should have get an error message while extracting.
Have you tried to delete the whole game folder, make a new one and "install" again?

Anyway can you share a screenshot of your game location (Explorer)?
