Ren'Py Lab Rats 2 - Reformulate [v2025.04]

i know it's hard to make it "save compatible", but please try it, i don't want to start new game every time new version come out

They just started working on a new framework which might eventually make that possible.

 

[a1fox3]

please add this to cheat commands mc.business.listener_system.fire_event("player_research", amount = mc.business.research_progress(9999999,999999,99999))
it's for instant research (must be one line), very useful cheat

There is no need for console commands with this version of the game it has built in cheat system, just look down at the bottom center left.

talk to Nora about sponsoring Kaya? no such option

I downloaded the latest BETA version and tried to load a save. Got this error. Anyone knows what the issue is and how to fix it? Sorry I am new to Git so not sure if I need to roll back to a prev version, or how to do that. Thanks

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

The issue is you trying to use an old save, don't do that, it won't work.

i know it's hard to make it "save compatible", but please try it, i don't want to start new game every time new version come out

No doubt, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

 

[bowobble]

is there a way to get the ai gen to work with swarmui?

Only by changing the mod.

From what I can see you need to create a session, change all the rest api endpoints, and change some names in the request body.
Looks like a bit of work.

Being unfamiliar with both api's i didn't really know where to start, and this is exactly what I needed to know. thank you.

event with Camilla Rojas "dance on Wednesday" don't start for me, any suggestions?

By the way, I also don't have this event with Camila Rojas starting.

 

[pinktoiletpaper]

You need, more or less:
First event at the bar
around 20 love (20+ love will start the first "choose my dress" event)
around 20 sluttiness
offer her a drink at the bar again: eventually she'll ask you if you like salsa dancing.
wait for wednesday night, the event will start automatically.

I have started this game 20 times from the very beginning. But with the version "LabRats2-Reformulate-2025.07-betaVTMod-Nora-pc" from 05/09/2025 this event did not start

They just started working on a new framework which might eventually make that possible.

A quick flash of HHS+ crosses my mind.

 

[draxton]

They need to seriously have a talk about the project. They can't keep refactoring, adding new frameworks, overhauling, trying to create the 'perfect' code or way to do things....
They should draw a line and keep the "new" good ideas, "needed improvements" and radical changes for a new project and complete LR2-whatever-they-want-to-call-it

If they don't, the game will never be completed and remain in an eternal cycle of redo, rinse, repeat.

It probably won't ever be completed. It's not really the kind of game that has any kind of clear finish line no matter how organized they are. I do personally think this would be a positive change, though.

 

[Mishun]

legalize public sexual acts? how to do that?

 

[Urruah]

i know it's hard to make it "save compatible", but please try it, i don't want to start new game every time new version come out

The next update is partially about addressing that issue as well as simplifying all the various flags in the game that can make it feel impossible to progress.

I mean currently the state of the game is that it's impossible to understand what makes it possible to actually DO anything later on without breaking the game. I've never been able to get the strip club, for example, and only once have I gone through Erica or whatever's events only to find out I didn't know how to get her to take out the IUD.

For anyone struggling to play on an android with JoiPlay, I've managed to play the modded version from this post on my old tablet using the newest version of JoiPlay and RenPy plugin from the paid patreon post through less than legal means.

Yep, in my opinion, this is the biggest problem with the game. It seems like 98% of the questions on this thread are about how to get the next event in someone's storyline to trigger, and a lot of times the answer is, "here are the prerequisites to make that event possible, but if it still doesn't trigger, then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯." Personally, I just gave up on doing most of the scripted characters (except the family) and focused on the sandbox stuff. Fixing that isn't a frivolous QoL improvement, it's pretty much core functionality at this point.

Go there and say things at the reception.

Go there and say things at the reception.

I remember in the old days, asking strippers to quit their job (so they could work in my lab instead) at the strip club. They would tell me that I shouldn't be talking about such things at their place of employment. Now, the only place you can talk about such things to Jennifer is at her place of employment. I have no earthly idea who thought that made sense.
