Oh wow, I see how it is...! :mad:

Though I appreciate you helping me get the missing add-on, I DID NOT appreciate that first line. I never had trouble with the game until recently.
I tried what I could to get your R14 running - but don´t forget that I´m not personally responsible for your issues.

And I also didn´t get 1 simple "Like" from you so far, so furthermore I´ll ignore your postings. :mad:

And if I want to update the mods from the game and not for the studio from KKmanager, it should show up only mods for game right and not the 190+ gb to download? And also I just extract it to the mods folder right? Cuz I already got a folder name sideloader modpack or should I put the files to the sideloader modpack?
If you run Update in KK-Manager or InitSetting (same function) the Sideloader is checking ALL your mods from him.
After searching you get a window that shows you what is to be updated, also from Modpack Studio.
You have to select/deselect what you want to update.

In the lower half you can see in detail which mods are updated or even deleted (red marked, invalid version).

The Updater is placing/replacing/overwriting all mods by itself, you don´t need anything to extract or save.

is there any work around for how big the side loader mod packs are? My computer only has 200GB of space :(

do I just need to get an external drive?

Ok - my fully updated R14 is currently 210GB.
This is without Optional Sideloader Modpack Studio (ONLY for StudioNEO!) - alone 190GB to download (compressed).
But with Bleeding Edge (Experimental Mode) you don´t need so far (this is a WIP area for newest mods, not improved to work properly) - saves 44GB.
Also my MyMods folder (location for self downloaded mods outside of Sideloader) is 33,5GB.

So we have 210-44-33,5 ~ 133GB, if you´re modest with the "normal" BetterRepack.
But now you have to calculate all cards and coordinates (clothings) you download by yourself - my UserData is 31,8GB with about 500 character cards (that isn´t as much as it looks like).

So you will last for a while, if you keep restrained with downloading extra stuff.

Hey fellow Kings and Queens (and other),

Gonna be asking a few questions here so pardon the ignorance:

1. Is it worth it to redownload HS2 now?
2. Last time I played it was 2 years ago. Was actively keeping up with mods and all. Any breakthroughs in modding or official DLC or whatever? Or is it just more and more chara mods and clothes?
3. Do we have animation mods yet?
4. How was the community's reaction to Illusion's studio closing down? :(

I'm assembling a computer and want to know what hardware is ideal or the best value for HS2.

From my research searching the threads here, one user repeatedly says that you simply need a lot of RAM(32GB+), and that the GPU doesn't matter. Some people say that the Nvidia 3000 series have problems and should be avoided. Is anyone running this at maximum settings with mods @ 2160p with a stable 60FPS and wouldn't mind sharing your setup? 1080p/60FPS is fine as well, but I'm wondering if a stable 2160p is possible. Is this so unoptimized that what I'm asking sounds ridiculous? Is anyone using driver upscaling like RIS/NIS? Also, would you rather have a high resolution or high refresh rate?

After 4 days I found a clean Steam version of this game. I added a micropatch from BR on top - and now I have a full BR P0 version of the game, which can be updated to P14 using KKManager.
Tell me how to make the main male character transparent - I don’t understand.
And I also don’t understand why girls don’t cum - this happened 50 times, but I don’t understand the reason. You may be out of the game for an hour, but it won't end there.

Its subjective, if youre talking about the main game, there is nothing new except clothing mods.
There are some updates for the plugin past 2 years but mostly are for studio.
There wont by any animation mods. If you want one, make it from scratch in studio.

Its very subjective depending on your use case.
If you're actively making animated scene in studio, there is no guarantee 32GB Memory and RTX 3000 is enough.
I spend most of my time making scene.
My spec is below :
CPU : Ryzen 5 7500F
Mem : 32GB 6000MHz
GPU : RX 6800 XT
I'm using 21:9 (2560x1080) display.

Depending on the scene composition, the FPS might differ from 60-90.
Scene made by professional that emphasizes lighting might only run at 30 FPS.

No.
Get a bigger SSD and make a dedicated partition for HS2 like myself.
Just like turbojoe said, if you're only playing the main game, ~200GB should be enough.
But if you're using studio, you should reserve 500GB just for HS2 alone like myself.

To add AmaNo my personal experience is that AMD cards seam to better handle this game - my old Radeon RX 570 in my desktop is still working fine.
And provide a SSD (min. 500GB), it´s a real loading accelerator.

Not quite sure what you´r talking about.
Belonging Steam version there is no compatibility with BetterRepack, you need an own SB Patch to get a game equivalent to BetterRepack.
Read here for comparison https://f95zone.to/threads/honey-select-2-dx-r11-illusion.53457/post-9723614
So far the latest SB3 patch is from 07-2022 I guess it´s equivalent to BetterRepack R10.

Player making transparent I don´t know, but there is a POV function in game - hit ; (key right of M) to get.

If you mean girl squirting you have first to unlock the achievment, then you can choose squirting from character or always.

The Steam version is very compatible with IR - after the micropatch I can update it to P14 by downloading all the content. Its version in the main menu is 1.0.0.

I mean that the girl basically does not cum - the strip stops at 20% of the end and under no circumstances goes further, there is no climax. I tried the game HoneyCome - almost an exact copy of this game, and everything works as it should - after 30 seconds the girl cums, the bar always fills to the end if it is not blocked.

Try regulating speed with the mouse wheel, until the strip starts moving again.

The speed is extremely maximum and it does not decrease or increase. There should be a discharge but this does not happen.
I just tested it and girl bar does not move at absolute maximum speed at 80%, but it starts moving on slightly lover seed. Try regulating speed until you reach the sweet spot.

Well, do you understand that it doesn't “just work” like their other games? This is broken. And why hasn't this been corrected by numerous mods - sadomasochistic costumes are more important?

It's not broken, it's about finding the sweet spot, you're meant to increase/decrease speed until the bars light up again and hers continues to increase. the reason there's no mods for it is that it's not broken.
