Any significant changes/additions from version 14? I read the change log but seems like just a bunch of mod updates.
You may have read the main reason for this update: new version of BepInEx!
Cuz this is the base mod for all custom mod developers and will change future mods and mod updates.

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
- Premium Bondage DLC
- DX Expansion

(*) = Optional mod

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 :)
R15 clean new install running fine out of the box.

Fine work as ever :love:

Aren´t over 150 different positions not sufficient for you?
That is why I like Koikatsu Sunshine just slightly more than Honey Select 2. KKS has a lot more positions, far more voices to choose from, better lighting, and sex feels a lot more intimate. HS2 has incredible realism, especially with the right mods, and more customization. If HS2 had as many positions and voices as KKS it would be absolutely perfect, imo.

Also, if you use the right shading and mess with the material editor you can almost HS2 quality:

My problem is I don´t like this anime look of the characters, by far not to compare with good HS2 characters.
But I guess the playgame itself is a lot more varied and interesting - so best of 2 worlds would be a Koikatsu with the chara system of HS2.

I didn't at first but KKS grew on me. I am not a fan of the huge head, flat chest (or ridiculously oversized tits), and pale skin that seem to be the majority of KKS cards. I tend to design characters that are more 3d cartoony with more realistic proportions.
...so best of 2 worlds would be a Koikatsu with the chara system of HS2.
Indeed!

Hi, I am sorry if this has been asked before.

I am having trouble starting the game. I downloaded the Honey Select 2 DX R15 Full Pack edition from the MEGA link.

This is my game folder path:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I started the game through InitSetting.exe, which shows me the window with the buttons where I can start HS2. I activated the console and there is a bunch of errors within the log (like a lot). The game window would appear and would show a white screen, followed by a black screen with the HS2 cursor (and it gets stuck). Here's some of the errors:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

All the Sideloader Modpacks seemed to produce an error, so I used * in place of its names.

I felt that perhaps I needed to download the 192 GB Optional Sideloader Modpack, but its 192 GB and I don't have sufficient storage for that. And it's optional so I felt that it is not critical to running the game.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I am not sure why the error persists. I have tried going into the manager and disabling all mods, but the other two types of errors still exist. I tried vanilifying the game by removing all extras and the error still persists. I tried downloading from different links and tried running it in different external drives and even my local drive, and it still won't work.

For context, I am running the game using Parallels Windows 11 on my M1 MacBook Pro. I have successfully played this game about 2 years ago with the R7 repack version, and I can run it again now through my external drive just fine. I just wanted to start fresh on R15, so I decided to redownload the whole game instead of upgrading step by step (which now I am a bit scared to do since it may break the working version).

I am not sure if I need to download the Unity engine, but it seemed unlikely because the R7 version works just fine.

I am truly lost. Any help is appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

That looks quite like a permission on path problem...

Make sure the game is in a short path, like `C:\Illusion\HoneySelect2`, `D:\Illusion\HoneySelect2` etc (recommended install path), and if that fails, try to run the game as admin (right click on HoneySelect2.exe and select run as admin).

IMO STN is right with the game path.
I always recommend a short named main folder on top of a drive (for shortest file pathes) and possibly not C:/ (to avoid conflicts with the OP system).
In your case move your R15 folder (with the HS2.exe) directly to Y:/, and rename it to HS2-R15 --> new .exe location now Y:/HS2-R15.

The "update" lele63 recommended isn´t the reason for loading issues but should always be done if your new installation is running fine at least.
