guys is this game really worse than the other koikatsu? the reviews are shitting on it
one thing I've learned from this site, don't read reviews because the genre porn goes to taste,everyone has their own taste,so the only way you can see if you like a game is to try it,

I mean, what do they expect when Illusion puts out a near copy of the original, near because there are some differences. Also keep in mind that a lot of people that play the Illusion games from the original Koikatsu to now don't actually play the game, but focus entirely on the studio, which is about 99% copied over as the intent was to allow players to use player created Koikatsu assets in Koikatsu Sunshine. On that note, another disappointment, they ONLY allowed players to go from Koikatsu to Koikatsu Sunshine with their characters and other things, you can't go back once you switch.

In my opinion, no, it is not worse, but the improvement is minimal. If they really want to improve their games, they need to focus on making them actual games and not character and picture makers with a story or tiny bits of gameplay tacked on. Even if it means going against their actual customers' desires.

The Sideloader Modpack, according to STN himself, is for the studio only, so it would not affect the game.
I might not be the best at Studio, but I can't see any of the character mods there either.
Is there some way to open the zipmods manually?

Slightly better art, the topic system is completely new and does spice up the gameplay a little, there's a bonus system that I'm not exactly sure how it works as far as granting bonuses except you can pray at the harbor to get one at random or use Cheat Tools to instantly get one of your choice, they added an old system that was introduced in the Sexy Beach games, a massage system, where you can grind the points needed for both praying and buying things in the store like topics. As I said, tiny improvements, and I DO mean tiny, so small you need to examine the game with a microscope.

Hi guys,
please tell me why is the stiletto still broken?
it doesn't do anything when I change the values..
I'd like to ask as well. The plugin doesn't seem to work properly (sometimes it adjusts, most of the time it does nothing at all), unless I'm just using it wrong. Changing poses resets everything when it DOES work, even if they're still wearing the same heels. Surely the plugin isn't so cumbersome as to require an adjustment for each character for each shoe for each possible pose - and save each on top of that?

If anyone can help me, thanks in advance. Bug.png

Does anyone know where Studio pulls characters from?
It has the new models from the R4 update, which I can't seem to find in-game.

The same places as the game, userdata/chara/male and userdata/chara/female. Anything in deeper folders, like anything marked as a community folder, will only be read by the mod installed to allow those to be read and those will appear in a separate interface that should appear automatically when trying to load a character card.

To me it's not a game, it's just a more elaborate, embellished porn simulator. I started my Koikatsu adventure with Sunshine, and switching to regular Koikatsu out of sheer curiosity, I can say that the only thing you can see is actually the graphics, which are better. It's hard to call it a game at all, where the challenge is zero, ( in Koikatsu there was at least a system of progression drop when you answered wrong, admittedly those answers were so few that you can learn them after an hour of playing, but still). The Topics mechanics are actually cool and fresh, but also not extensive. Something Illusion should do ASAP is to make Mod tools available to create new dialogues/topics/meetings etc. With such an expansive community, they wouldn't have to do anything, because the community itself would create regular DLC worth of content - which it does now, but focusing mainly on visual aspects, improving physics or "improving" porn for known reasons. For me, as someone who's had Koikatsu for 2 weeks, it's not even much of a dating simulator, because it's hard for a character who has less lines of text than a 3 minute song to make me want to talk to her for anything more than hitting max is progress bar in the top left corner of the screen.

Charastudio wont finish loading. I've been stuck loading it with R3, R4, and now R5 all just error out. I have no ability to successfully load the studio. Game itself works fine. Removing mods folder does nothing to fix. UserData is clean (default data only).

A porn simulator is still a game. The topic system isn't extensive, but that is a symptom of the bigger problem, Illusion putting more work into customization than the actual game. There is one issue with the mod tools idea, there would be no voice, which you would expect from a user created mod, but not something from the developer.
