[a1fox3]

Is sex shop gone or there are conditions to unlock?

No its not gone and will unlock as you play, you should get a notice for it one day.

Conditions to unlock,story progress..

Why was this packaged in a bunch of .rpa files?

Your .bat file to pull in the mods doesn't work on Linux so I thought the quickest way to play with the new changes was to just empty the mod-directory. But apparently there are mod-files in one of the .rpa or otherwise I would not be getting an error on CTMod/_image_definitions_ren.py at startup

And using unren is also PITA on Linux since it requires Python2 which has been removed from modern distro's

When you compile with the mods in the mod folder, it puts everything in rpa files. Renpy makes no distinction between game and mod.

Is anyone else having issues playing on android, I havn't had problems until Joyplay updated, but other games seem to work, the problem seems to start on the inializing screen or any time I get to input a name

 

[Urist]

I found the MOD and after some tinkering got it working. The MOD-developer clearly hasn't heard of Linux and its case-sensitive file-system so I had to edit some output-path variables so the game can find everything.

For the most part it works OK, but sometimes it does generate some ugly faces. Especially if they have glasses, they usually end up with deformed teeth.

I did only install the dreamShaper XL models as mentioned in the included HTML guide.
Would the results be better if I also installed the two other mentioned models in the guide?

edit: after tinkering with the 3 mentioned models in the HTML guide, I just started paying for everybody's Lasik to remove glasses from the game for better face generation

Obvious question is obvious, but... You DID install stable diffusion locally, right? The mod itself requires a stable diffusion install, and isn't as easy as just drag & dropping the mod.

Let's assume that you're starting from complete scratch, since I'm sure some others out there are trying to get the mod running from nothing as well, and it's easier to just start here. It's strongly, strongly recommended that you don't do this on cards with less than 6gb vram, or on older 20x cards (if you're doing this on a 10x ti card, it's possible but jfc what are you doing), and assumes you're using an nvidia card.

1. Install forge (or reForge if you know what you're doing)
   You must be registered to see the links
   - I'd suggest doing the advanced install steps (downloading python 3.10, git, then doing a git clone of the

   )
2. Download a model, I've listed two here, but the current genning standard is using an illustrious based model, such as
   You must be registered to see the links
3. Place the .safetensors model in your webui\models\Stable-diffusion\ folder
4. Locate your webui-user.bat file inside of your webui folder, !!!MAKE A COPY OF IT!!!, then (optionally rename, and) edit that copy with a text editor. Locate

   set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=

   and add the following to it after the ='s sign

   --port=7860 --api --cors-allow-origins *

   It is important that you use this copy to launch the webui when running the game. You want to leave the default webui-user.bat alone, and use that one when using stable diffusion normally when not playing the game. If you don't do this, and attempt to install extensions in to stable diffusion, you will have a very bad time.
5. Run copied/renamed webui-user.bat from the above step and wait for it to open forge in your browser
6. While waiting on the webui to open, download the mod and extract it in to the mods folder located inside of the game folder where your lab rats 2 exe is located. DO NOT LAUNCH THE GAME YET.
7. When the webui finally opens, it is safe to launch the game
8. Once loaded in to the game, click the GenAI Config button at the bottom of your UI
9. Scroll down, click 'Model' and select the model you downloaded/want to use (I'll assume you listened and used an illustrious based model, such as noobai, or the other two I listed)
10. Click 'Sampler' and select Euler or Euler A
11. Set Steps to 25
12. Set CFG scale to 5.0
13. Set your resolution to 1024x1024 or 896x1152
14. Set 'Auto Generate' to On to automatically generate images, or Off if you want to manually generate them. For simplicity's sake, set it to on and go talk to a girl. With any luck, you've installed everything correctly and it'll tell you when it's generating an image. All that's left to do is wait. Time taken varies based on hardware..

If you've installed everything, but it's still not working, the command prompt that opens when running the webui-user.bat should spit out the errors you're encountering. That's likely where you'll find your problem if it isn't working for whatever reason, unless you're getting an ingame error.

Anyways, here's some example images of how MY gens look, using the stuff I mentioned in this post, keeping the same settings between models and gens. I've also included what they look like without adetailer, without highres fix, and without the LoRA, if for whatever reason you hate yourself and/or are GLaDOS running on a potato.

As you can see, settings, LoRAs, and extensions all make a world of difference. Using the above guide, out of the box you can basically just expect anything from the first column. But the simple act of adding in a LoRA improves the image a fair bit, and using hires fix to upscale it 2x improved it even more. Adding adetailer, but no hires fix is my default for genning images, but tossing in the hires fix on top of adetailer makes a massive difference. Point is, YMMV based off of a lot of factors, and you can get pure slop or something that's pretty decent. Just gotta experiment and find out.

You can totally do faces with glasses, you're just using a crappy model, lol. Go

and look through the checkpoints. Find one that appeals to you and doesn't suck, and install that and use it's preferred generation settings. Also make sure you actually installed the adetailer .pt files, not just the extension itself.

Yea I've unlocked the option to research/add nanobots to serums, I just haven't actually done it yet because of how many r&d/production points it costs. I probably should've done it sooner tbh. I've had it for about 12 in-game days lol. I was mainly worried I'd lose out on money to pay my 11 employees when I could be making serums that cost less to make w/o nanos.

It's more of a long-term goal, and it takes time to recruit Ellie to unlock and upgrade the more useful nanos. You made the right choice to focus on your budget in the early game.

does anyone know of any nonporn games like the business aspect of this? if it was built out more it would be a pretty good game on its own

I think any type of Tycoon game that in the olden days mostly Maxis used to make kind of match your criteria for the business aspect
But you will need to build some stuff yourself, like roller-coaster tycoon you need to build a theme park, railroad tycoon is building railroads

If you want to stay in the drug atmosphere, there is Two point Hospital, which is kind of a spiritual re-make of Theme Hospital but here you need to build out your hospital, where to put the benches for waiting patients, hire doctors, janitors, ...

There is also the (European) Football manager games, where you manage a club with trading players, making substitutions during matches, ...

I agree this is one of the best management games out there as far as porn games are concerned, but there's really not much to it if you take out the sexual aspects. You're basically just clicking a couple times to select serum traits, then there's a tedious grind to produce the serums and make money. I'd say the non-porn genre that's most similar to is idle/clicker games. For something a bit more specific, you might check out Game Dev Tycoon and its many imitators. Game Dev Masters is one I know of that has a free demo.

Most management games are nothing without their core resources.

This game has employees, money and general corruption. We do not have end game yet, but the various tiers of serums do act as good difficulty spikes.

 

[Bumbling Bitch]

I think any type of Tycoon game

tycoon games are too broad scope usually, i like the micro management of serum aspects and the varied appeal, value, and legality of aspects you can add.

a tedious grind to produce the serums and make money.

you can just hire a high level producer or two and have them auto sell a 0 attention high value serum though you would also want a supply girl to further automate the infinite money, once you get a couple story characters you can fire the fillers

you might check out Game Dev Tycoon and its many imitators.

game dev tycoon is a good example of the kind of tycoon game i don't like, its just a more is better number go up make more money business, rather than a play to the market change things up kind of business simulator. Software inc was a good one i remember hunting for low quality software markets and taking them over by catering to market demands, later updates made the game a bit more generic though with a general big more better number go up aspect

That's why I recommended idle/clicker games. You can click things yourself to get them started or make them go faster, but eventually you can just have them run automatically, which is like hiring staff in this game.

Yeah, I didn't like it either. My beef with it is that you get severely punished for making the same type of game twice in a row, so you can't refine the process and zero in on the perfect build for a specific genre, even though it's not uncommon at all in real life for game devs to specialize and get really good at one specific type of game.

This is kinda out of left field, but there's a game called Rising Star 2 where you control a group of people trying to make it big as a rock band. You manage the basic stuff like equipment and supplies, but there's also an interesting mini-game to simulate songwriting, where you put together puzzle pieces from each member of the band, and you can merge duplicate puzzle pieces to increase their quality. You can also disassemble the combined puzzle pieces of old songs, which can be very useful because there's a limit to how many unassembled pieces you can keep, so you almost need to put songs together as an alternate form of storage. I don't know, it's pretty hard to describe, but that game has a free demo too. I found it memorably unique, and I think it could come pretty close to scratching a similar itch to designing serums in this game.

They need to move on to Pony diffusion based models. They're leagues better than Dream shaper. There are many of them for realism or cartoon styles and dozens of available style LORAs. The auto prompting in the
Mod would have to be modified for booru tag styles

Is it possible to get NPC's to divorce their husbands or break up with their boyfriends?

Yes you can just sex them a lot and soon you can ask them to leave them.

Maybe because he provided a newer version of the game

Latest build with the Nora branch additions integrated, and all the working Mods besides the AI image gen (VT & CT, RealPorn, moresomes, Zenpak, Kaden and Kina mods) PC/Linux; This build will not work with any existing saves. That means your saves won't load without errors. Even save games from the build I posted last week.
You will need to start a new game.
Just to be clear, your saves will not work, don't download this and complain about your saves not working, they won't

Yea I've unlocked the option to research/add nanobots to serums, I just haven't actually done it yet because of how many r&d/production points it costs. I probably should've done it sooner tbh. I've had it for about 12 in-game days lol. I was mainly worried I'd lose out on money to pay my 11 employees when I could be making serums that cost less to make w/o nanos.

If I remember correctly, Nanos give you good money in the serums you put them into.

build your foundation. get a decent income. seduce 1 or 2 girls so they're you're go-to fuck buddies for a steady stream of clarity (Steph is usually a good choice here or your sister/mum; Alexia/Sarah/Ophelia are also good choices). a steady stream of clarity is very important to ensuring you have full access to research

at the start, sex is going to be more 'business-like' until you get comfortable with the game and are able to push the game limits as you please. your sex goals should be to maximize clarity. only after your financials + clarity (and personal stats maxed) are secure, then you break down taboos relatively easily.

consistent drugging with nanobots help a lot with sex opinions (for example: breeding nanobot impacts likes submissiveness, likes bareback sex, likes creampie, likes vaginal, etc), when your company policies are set up, you're able to have your employees drugged everyday so they'll be going from 'hates creampies' to 'love creampies' pretty quickly.

trance also helps a lot and is very easy to reach once you've built the foundation. late game serum trait has a 'trance inducer' so you can instantly trance a girl up once your research has progressed enough. until you reach that point, i personally max my MC stamina + 'oral sex skills' and 'kneeling oral' the girl until she comes her brains out. unless she 'hates receiving head', she'll orgasm multiple times in the sex session and fall into a deep trance from all the orgasms.

edit: for increasing a girl's sluttiness "easily" i'd say there are 3 ways.
first method, use a ton of sluttiness traits in a serum. just stack them like crazy. you should be able to get +40 sluttiness relatively easy (you'll need to have unlocked multiple tiers of research for this)
second method, make the girl orgasm a lot. most girls will increase sluttiness by +1 if you make them cum from a sex position they don't find boring.
third method, make them watch you fuck. look for an opportunity where the girl is alone. tell your fuck buddy to follow you and bring your fuck buddy along (that location should have you, fuckbuddy, and girl you want to increase sluttiness stat of - note she should not be your girlfriend or she might break up with you) you then proceed to slowly sex up the fuck buddy in front of the voyeur. what i mean is, don't go straight into hard anal or piledriver vaginal. the voyeur's sluttiness will determine how much depravity they're willing to watch.
usually it's something like:
0-30 sluttiness (likes watching kissing/groping)
30-50 sluttiness (likes watching oral/tit fuck)
50+ sluttiness (likes watching penetration)

you'll know what their limits are because their sluttiness will increase by +1 or +2 if they 'like' what they see.

interface. oh yeah! the interface his majesty.

what it was in 2023.07.11 - better than now. better to understanding the datas.

For those of you that hate your off the street employees treating your job as a secondary job.
Before hiring to the StripClub/Waitress/Bdsm location.

Console Command: the_person.quit_job(the_person.primary_job)

Then employ them

Can't wait till a legitimate through game option exists e.g. coerce, bribe, sweet talk, send email to their boss to get them fired, etc.

AWESOME, I have been trying to figure out how do do this since the Hospital Came Online, Not to mention the odd prostitute with a high ranking in marketing....hahah what better salesperson than that.
