So I found this page and it seems the game works pretty good using Linux (Manjaro) and Lutris:

I basically did the following:
- Save game in '~/.wine/drive_c/Games/Koikatsu BetterRepack RX9' (might be alright to move elsewhere if you want)
- Run 'winetricks corefonts' (I think this is the biggest issue for the translation)
- Run 'winecfg' and add application InitSettings.exe, Koikatu.exe, and CharStudio.exe when the GUI pops up
- Highlight one of the added entries and click the Libraries tab
- In the new override drop down, find winhttp and click add. you should see something like 'winhttp (native, builtin)' appear
- Click apply and do this for each application added

After that, I added a new game entry to Lutris and pointed the executable to InitSettings.exe. I didn't need to do anything else like set the working directory. Run the game, and hopefully it all works. Text should translate, and in the Settings you should see a plugins settings tab. That should let you know the mods are loading too.
Thank you, that did the trick!
Would be great if brynhildr added that to the installation instruction in the main post.

I have just updated to RX9 but the Image Series Recorder is missing. I tried taking the version from RX8 and putting it into the BepInEX folder in RX9 but it's still not showing up. Should it go somewhere else or is there some other recording plugin I'm missing?

Does anyone know if there is a way to completely remove the tongue of a character? If there is a mod, that counts too

Whenever I start up the game and get the popup "Do you want to complete the tutorial?" (right after talking with Ai in the classroom) with the options Yes or No, my mouse bugs out and then the game stops responding. Had it happen three times, any fixes?

Several of the Kplug only positions have access to anal, U key, blue colored positions are Kplug.

It might have become incompatible, which is usually why total removal of a mod is done.

Poking my head in to let the thread-maker know, the pastebin link under the Useful Resources header included in the main post has been taken down. Found out when I went to go check on it because I'm a curious george.

If it goes back up, I ask that someone kindly let me know.

More positions isn't the only thing Kplug adds. There is A LOT of functionality to Kplug that no other mod has, such as the ability to play as a female card through futa mode, the ability to start an immediate H scene from peeping, including the possibility of that H scene being considered rape and, if the girl uses a Darkness capable personality, her lines being those she uses in Darkness scenes, the ability to trigger the entire school to immediately go into a spot to masturbate or find another girl, which helps to trigger the previous peeping and subsequent H scenes, the ability to make the whole school seek you for an immediate H scene. The ability to actually play the roaming school portion at night, the ability to force night to come at any point, the ability to see girls naked without removing clothes, AKA X-Ray mode, while roaming the school, the ability to wash sexual fluids off the girl either during H scenes or in conversation, the ability to move the camera while in conversation, the ability to strip the girl in conversation, the ability to redress the girl in conversation if you've stripped her to any level of undress, the ability to invite girls not even in the class into an H scene, the ability to invite other guys into an H scene, the ability for girls to join automatically beyond the two girl limit of vanilla's threesomes, the ability to interact with these joined girls and even switch them for the one you started with so that they are the one you are having sex with and the girl you started with is in their original position, the ability for girls who joined through the Kplug functions to interact with each other or with the invited guys, the ability to tease the girl, by which I mean sexually, which is another way to raise her H bar, the ability to salvage your relationship with a girl if you manage to pick up more than one date because dates always go for the latest accepted girl and this allows you to include them in the H scene after so that they aren't angry and don't break up with you, the ability to track a single girl in the school in real time, F4 only shows the location they are at when the F4 menu pops up even if they moved right when it popped up because they were on the edge of a location, the ability to track a girl's H stats numerically at any time, even a hidden stat both for pressing and for rubbing her with a vibrator on her breasts, and the ability to have a girl over to your house, even the entire class, where up to 10 will then be displayed as a low poly version of their model in their sleeping clothes while on the room menu, this has potential to start a massive H scene with the entire class because every girl invited to your room will auto join assuming the wake up scene is one that goes into an H scene.

There is also a location for Free H that only Kplug has access to, like the onsen.

Long story short, other mods have a LONG way to go before Kplug is unnecessary and I would agree that with Kplug is still better until every single one of the above is doable without Kplug because I use every single function I listed very heavily.

Not sure about more H scenes because I use Kplug specifically and that is the only mod I can confirm has more positions. If by it you mean the modpack, keep in mind the modpack is mostly just for the studio, unpack it the same as the game, then look inside and you will see some folders marked sideloader. Put those folders where there are sideloader folders already in the game files, which is in the Mods folder.

It's been that way for a while now, I'm not sure it will be restored, in which case the link should just be removed from the OP.

This.

Really funny people still assume that the only thing Kplug contributes is more H-poses. If that was the case, then everyone would've given up installing Kplug once Animation Loader was out; but that obviously wasn't the case here. Furthermore, some of these poses seem to be directly taken off Kplug and added to (AL), which given the animosity between the two creators I do find that a bit ironic; even though I also understand that some of the poses were also taken out from other Illusion games, but then why copy directly from Kplug rather than those games in the first place?

Not that it would matter much since I believe the new Kplug poses will be made incompatible with Animation Loader until the public release version is out, so ultimately you're going to be left with old animations for the mean time if you're not planning on using Kplug. But as said above, there's still a long way before Kplug will be made obsolete since that plugin does add more features than having new animations.

Which makes it seem less like its own thing and more like a direct attempt to push Kplug out of use. I can tell the modder of Animation Loader right now that, if that is the case, his mod alone will not be enough to do so even if every single position is taken out of Kplug and put into Animation Loader for the very reasons I listed and you replied to. In fact, just the opposite might be occuring and Kplug might be pushing a mod out of use itself. I have been in contact with Katarsys and might be on my way to making the mod known as Become Trap unnecessary because I asked if he could add the ability to walk into gender restricted rooms set to girls only to futa mode. I have yet to receive an answer on that, but it will get addressed in some way at some point.

As long as Kplug still has functions only it can do and because it also adds positions, I will not need Animation Loader and will not be adding it to my copies of the game. This applies to all other mods with similar functions to Kplug as well, if not all functions of Kplug are usable without Kplug, I will continue to use Kplug. Especially the real time tracking and invite functions, those are my most heavily used functions out of all of Kplug.

Honestly, the only place I know that actively try to discourage people from using Kplug is that one Koikatsu Discord server, in which they auto-ban anyone who mentions using it because they feel threatened by it or something; and yes, they will say that you threatened an admin if you disagree with their opinions regarding Kplug, but that beside the point of the discussion -- as the majority of the people from F95, Reddit, Steam, Illusion Soft, 4Chan, and other private Discord servers seem to weigh positively in favor of using it.

And while I'm certainly well aware that Kplug can lead to incompatibility with the rest of the mods and ruins the gameplay experience if it wasn't installed correctly, if it reaches the point where you have people willingly uninstall incompatible mods just so they could get Kplug working, that kind spell that those other mods just aren't as important as having Kplug running in the game; and that ultimately should be general consensus. But alas here lies the problem:

1. The people who produce these mods do not play the main game. (Yes language update is good, but they're texts not features)
2. The most vocal minorities are the one who play Character Studio and not the main game / H-gameplay.

The second point being the most obvious as if you were to ask anyone who play Character Studio how to properly install Kplug, they'll just tell you to avoid using it, but really offer no alternative solution in place; which is really a dumb logic to be honest, "Don't use X because it's bad, but X is the only way to get it." or "Kplug is bad, but that's the only way you can invite multiple characters", or recently, "Kplug is bad, but we use their animations for our Animation Loader."

In whatever case, Kplug does stand as a worthy plugin in its own right, and if you're the kind of person that get off on the main game and H-gameplay I would strongly recommend giving it a try because it does improve the gameplay significantly with a lot of features added; and yes there is a public-released version that you can download for free.

It has been semi-actively discouraged at times by the maker of both the HF patch and Better Repack as well, particularly around the time they tried to get Katarsys to switch literal months of work from the IPA framework to BepInEx. However, nothing on the level of auto-bans unless you count the mysterious disappearances of comments JMccovery mentioned, that seems like overkill to me on both the Discord and here.

It does have occasional issues, true, but they aren't bad enough to warrant dropping the mod and Katarsys does address them and fix them when they are on Kplug's end and he is able to do so. Any compatibility on the other side is, of course, not within his power to fix.

1. Genreally speaking, most people are into Illusion games for the studio aspect, at least as far back as these studio programs go. This wasn't always the case, but it really started to become prevalent once Illusion started dropping the ball in the actual game. Also, Kplug has no studio functionality, it's all in the game side, so they don't see the need for it because they lack, either totally or largely, the game playing aspect in their usage.

2. Likely true because of what I said in 1.

They tell you to avoid using it without an alternative because no alternative exists. To their credit, they would give an alternative if they had one. There's a mod for the positions, but ONLY some positions and ONLY the positions aspect of Kplug. Only once the entire Kplug mod has an alternative will there be an alternative. That means everything I listed before has to be implemented and it has to be at least equal in quality to Kplug. If all of it does get implemented, but it is not as good, it still doesn't replace Kplug.

Beware of venturing down this road again, lest more posts mysteriously disappear.
If it gets asked about or a misconception is made, the question gets answered and the misconception corrected before it can become too widespread to fix, like the msiconception about this website being for porn games specifically when it is not already has. The misconception in this case was that Kplug only adds positions, a misconception implied by the comment I replied to by stating that Kplug would not be necessary in RX10. While, technically, no mod is actually necessary in any build and this has been true since before Better Repack existed, Kplug is still considered necessary because it does add much more than positions.

As for mysteriously disappearing comments, that should not be happening, we are on topic since there is literally nothing to talk about for the game itself, only mods, which Kplug is one of, and no other rules are being violated unless someone starts getting rude. If a moderator is deleting posts about Kplug, a mod for the game this thread is about, without any rule violation, they are doing too much deleting. If they are going to do that, they should just lock the thread entirely since even that is off topic or rule breaking and, because it is a mod for the very game this thread is about, no other mod should be allowed into discussion. All that said, I don't want to see any of the above happen.

Any word on what Sunshine is/when it will be released?
Koikatsu sunshine release on May 28.
Have they said if it will share the same compatibility with Koikatsu that AI Shoujo and Honey Select 2 do? I'm actually very interested in that possibility because it is implied by the fact that it is using exactly the same art style as Koikatsu, but implication doesn't mean anything in game development until they actually do it and, even if they do, it could be the same as AI Shoujo and Honey Select 2, different voices and personalities on the same character. I hope they actually do it with the same voices and personalities as Koikatsu since that prevented me from using my AI Shoujo characters in Honey Select 2 because it's just too jarring a difference when the same character has a different voice and personality between games.

Can somebody share Evaan's Faye Valentine card? I'd even sub to get it myself, but unfortunately I do not have a good relationship with Patreon.
