Is it safe to connect to the internet? I wanted to check out the HS Downloader, but right now I have the game's exe blocked for inbound and outgoing connections in my firewall
So far I know the Network connection was only working in Japan and maybe also shutdown there cuz closing Illusion Games.

does anyone know how much space is required on the hard disk to install the game with the sideloader. I was inspired after playing eternum and wanted to learn how to make a vn. My hard disk is only 500 gb. Thanks. The 237 gb sideloader might end up more than 500 gb no?
Well - classical dilemma, isn´t it?
I heard from some members storing all their mods external and loading only the few they use into the game/mods.

Guess it´s time to pimp your pc with a bigger drive - SSD is also very helpful shortening loading times for HS2.
2TB actually starting at 100.- Euro (in Europe) - not the world........ ;)

While true it's not really necessary for the game. I also don't think it's worth going out and spending 60 to 100 $ on an SSD just for this game. Especially when the game and sideloader are upwards of 300GB.

dunno if it matters anymore since they did shut down, but it actually did work outside of japan. Leastwise I got on it a few times and I definitely was not in Japan. :D

Normally this happens only if you have your girls cards assigned to groups NOT beeing in UserData/chara/female.
You can store your cards in subfolders for better organisation, but for playing you have to copy them into female folder first.

Unless you have a bad game location, this can cause many issues (game should always be on top of a drive).


You have to differentiate between "grey skin" - happens if the card uses Hanmens NextGen Shader and you haven´t activated GraphicsMode with SSS
and "black skin" - this happens if the card uses Hanmens NextGen textures (Skin) and you don´t have the mod.

Hanmens stuff look here https://f95zone.to/threads/honey-select-2-libido-dx-r7-illusion.53457/post-8748321
Well, crap. I just have the game in a folder directly on my C drive, just one folder deep, so I don't think that's the issue. I just selected the girls that were in the cards available, that came with the repack as it was... guess I'll have to figure out what went wrong in installation.

As I said you have them to copy first into UserDAta/chara/female folder, e.g. from the subfolder chara/female/Modpack.

thanks. I asked around and discord and decided to just try out the studio without the 237 gb file for now and focus more on learning it for now. I am working out of an old laptop and upgrading it seems like a bad choice for now.

HI!

Studio Neo is a good tool to start animating with. Keep in mind that all the extra mods are optional, most cases you will never gonna use them all, but just in case you may have an eye on all the new stuffs.

For example: Years ago there wasn't a good coom representation in studio, only the default and Hooh's stuff. now we have a Fluid mod that works pretty good but as I see, it needs more improvement.
There is a complete word of Hair styles and types, some of them are rigid while other have bones to customize some movement...but now, we have some Real-time phisics hair styles, as well as some clothes.
There are new Dynamic-movement mods, sound mods, particle mods and so on.

My instalation is the slim one, only the studio neo without mods. but aside I have a largue collection of mods Stored in an external 1TB driver, Paywalled and Free, In the case I open a downloaded scene and the program prompt me of missing mods I go to my external disk and copy them to MyMods Folder. If the mod is good or usefull, I keep it, otherwhise I discard it.
maybe this practice is a nuisance, but as for me, I has help me a lot to know and understand a variety of mods.

I only played HS2 but theres a lot of different positions and you can be busy for a while with the girls stats and feelings

AI is more a SIM including sex scenes with up to about 5 girls so far I know.

I am just looking at lavalamp22 videos on youtube? Most of them are 1 to 3 years old? How does one even begin to know all the stuff, new and the basics??

if you really want to do it :
1) Download it it as parts
2) extract the the first part
3) while extracting take not of the part that is currently being extracted
4) delete the parts that are before the part that is being extracted

this method wont allow you to do a re-extract in case of any errors tho so.......
do at your own risk

I downloaded the 68gb folder which says it comes premodded. Can anyone help me with the missing files when i try to load the premade models in character creation? particularly the darkruler models saying that I need missing files.
