My previous post just said how to do it without explaining it, which seems to cause some confusion, so let me explain it first.

1.) After implement number 3, StudioNEOV2 is in vanilla state, that is, BepInEx does not work, and there is no plugins / mods / AutoTranslator. At this time, StudioNEOV2 is the original illusion StudioNEOV2.

2.) winhttp.dll is the entry point for BepInEx to injects the unity game. After renaming winhttp.dll to winhttp.dl_, unity game will not be able to load BepInEx's winhttp.dll, but will load windows winhttp.dll, which will disable BepInEx.

3.) As long as the unity game (HoneySelect2 / StudioNEOV2 here) runs smoothly and there is no problem, then Fatal, Error, Warning, Message, Info in the output_log.txt or console log can be ignored. Having Fatal, Error, Warning does not mean that there is a file corruption or program error.

Back to the problem.

I saw turbojoe's question about your computer's I drive. Then I went back to your posts.

So your I drive is the system drive (Maybe a multiboot system drive that isn't hidden?), or is the system drive no longer used as a data drive? The system drive refers to the drive with the operating system installed. As long as the settings are correct, it can be used to boot. After booting, it will be the C drive.

Move the entire HS2-R13 folder to a non-system drive, and change winhttp.dl_ back to winhttp.dll. If your BetterRepack R13.7z is still there, you can also directly decompress a new HS2-R13 to a non-system drive. Then double-click StudioNEOV2.exe to see if StudioNEOV2 can work normally and whether the interface is in English. If so, congratulations, the problem is solved. If not, then we will implement number 5 to see if the problem can be solved.
The Windows in the I disk is not a Windows that I actively use. Before purchasing an SSD for the computer, I was using windows installed on the hard disk. I then bought an SSD and did a clean install of Windows. I am using this SSD now as C disk and system disk.

So when I turn on the computer, the running Windows version is Windows installed in the SSD C: disk. So it's not the old windows installed on the "I" disk. Could this still be causing a problem?

So why you keep this?
Normally your Win install on SSD should recognize that there is another windows on your PC, so deinstall it carefully.

No clue if there is an influence to your HS2, but if you have the drive space try first the advise from aru and move your game to another drive.
For HS2 is not a really installation you only copy and paste and make a new shortcut to new InitSetting.exe location.

Btw if you have enough drive space free on your SSD this location will give your HS2 a remarkable performance boost anyway :p

I read years ago that SSDs can suddenly fail. Since this caused some fear in me, I decided to keep a spare windows installed on my hard drive.
For now, I have 2 harddisk and 1 SSD. SSD 250GB with Windows installed. It will not be enough for Honey select.
I use one of my hard drives only for work and it's pretty full. The other one is "I"
Well.. Seems like i have to go shopping for another harddrive soon. :HideThePain:

It is possible, with your character creations you can create your own scenes in StudioNEO - and even animated.
But it requires a lot of experience to reach sufficient results.
Also cast an eye on this thread https://f95zone.to/threads/illusion-ai-girl-honey-select-2-studio-neo-scene-sharing-thread.85125/

The more popular engine to create visual novels is Ren´Py.
Here https://f95zone.to/all-features you find examples for that.
I myself played "Bare Witness" and "Give Me a Sun" so far - very nice :love:
I'm trying to create my own NV using Ren' Py. I'm looking into software to make my game but I'm so lost on what to use. From your comment I'm assuming I can use Honey Select 2 with a software like StudioNeo to create animated scenes which can then be rendered/used in Renpy. Did I get that right?

From what I understand, yes. You can use Ren'py as your primary visual novel engine while using Honey Select 2's Studio Neo to create scenes for screenshots and short video clips. Insert said screenshots and video clips into your Ren'py visual novel, and you're cooking.

Just beware of video format so you're as compatible as possible

What are the necessary updates?
Large capacity...
I dont think the update patch is big though.
The total installation is big indeed.
I cleaned up 90GB of mods from my 315GB installation. Most of them are character costumes.

Hi guys, I have a question about graphics cards and in particular the RTX 4000 series, I'm thinking of buying a 4070 and I would like to know if there are problems with them like with the 2000 series and the 3000 series.
I'm also wondering if 12 VRAM is enough even for demanding scenes in a neo studio. So if anyone owns any graphics from the 4000 series I would be glad if they would share their experience and FPS in HS2 and studio neo, eventualy share the whole pc setup.
Thanks

Not quite sure what you´re meaning with "updates" :unsure:

If you have an older Repack version I recommend a complete new download/install ( ) in contrast to going step by step with upgrade files from here (more error prone)

If you meant the Sideloader mods update (InitSettings or KK-Manager) the download size is depending which category you´re needing. For the game alone you don´t need Items for Studio and Extra Maps - deselect them before starting the update.

Anyway I recommend to keep the mods you need always up to scratch to avoid troubles with new created cards.

Hello, recently I have been wondering if there is a mod that will allow any girl with any mood to use any position? I tried position selector 2.0.2 but that bricks the game with the kkmanager updates I just ran. I also cannot seem to get Straddle insertion to show up anymore regardless of what stats I set the girl to, does anyone have any ideas?

How to remove censoring, I try looking in the setting and there is nothing about a censor filter
If you have the BetterRepack you should have a folder "Sideloader Modpack-Uncensor Selector" in mods.
Then u can choose a naked body in Body Shape/Overall/Uncensor Selector.

As AmaNo answered maybe you don´t have the BetterRepack downloaded.
So far I know is the Steam base game also censored, then you need the SB3 Patch from here to uncensor. Minimum is "normal Edition", with "full Edition" you get the most mods also included in BetteRepack.
