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

[Urruah]

How to become the owner of the strip club?

Proceed until aunt and cousin move out, catch cousin stealing from your sister, blackmail, find out she works at the strip club, promise not to tell aunt blackmail option, proceed with sex club investments and plot line, apparently eventually you can rat your cousin out and somehow this leads to both of them stripping after the club closes down or something.

It seems like you may also need to have progressed far enough with Sarah or whatever her name was. The childhood friend. I've never gotten this event to trigger though so I don't know. I've never even seen the strip club close.

I don't know if hiring them to work for you interferes with this quest line.

In all th etimes I have played the game I have never triggered it even though I undersatnd how it is supposed to be triggered so good luck but the supposed trigger is below

OK, That's about how I remembered it from a few years ago but I'm stuck at step 4, the Strip club never goes bust, or maybe I missed the deadline? I remember if you don't react fast enough, it reopens under a new leader? Too bad, I wanted to go the whole family as strippers run this time lol

 

[Urruah]

I have never seen it close. Someone mentioned it won't close if whatsername the childhood friend is in the middle of the quest with her friend? that results in a threesome for you. I've never gotten that quest because her progress usually just kind of stops after I let her take some breast enhancers.

 

[Daedolon]

Got it.

And how about unlocking the townhall or police station locations? I've met the police officer but as a normal citizen. There's a hint saying if you get too naughty in public, she'll arrest you, what are the conditions exactly?
For the townhall, I can't unlock the townhall policies in the CEO office because it says to corrupt the townhall employee but I never met such a NPC. Any ideas?

I've also met a bug where I built the harem mansion and got the Vanderberg daughter to move in which caused her original house to disappear and I can't meet the mother anymore... I tried to reset the relationship with the daughter but still no more vanderberg house on the map. When I call the mother with the phone, she says she's home... Any idea how to fix that?

It seems I'm stuck in the early morning of Day 0 and can't progress any further, unable to advance time. I started a new game and completed the tutorial, including the tour with Stephanie, but I'm unable to move forward. Has anyone else run into this issue or know how to resolve it?

Yeah even though it has never closed for me there is a time limit to act so the trigger in the auditorium has to be within that limit

Yeah, years ago, but TBH you should skip the tutorial, and it will be fine this was a flaw in the original I am surprised it is still an option I always skip it I will now try it just to see what happens. Just tried it and it was fine sorry no idea why you're stuck but the intro is useless IMHO

Those areas don't exist yet. If you have sex in public there's a chance you'll be caught that increases the longer you do it. You can get away with it for a surprisingly long time, even if the police chief is in the area itself. You need to corrupt her and Penelope. Chief Levardin can be found at places like the strip club even if you haven't been caught having sex.

No clue, I built the harem mansion but never did anything with it. I've found that story triggers tend to break when you alter a character's schedule by doing stuff like hiring them or adding them to your harem and stuff. The last time I played I couldn't even get Lily's anal taboo break quest to complete because mom just wouldn't ask me where she was getting money from.

I think I've identified the issue—it seems to be related to the VT (Virgin Tracker) Mod. I removed it from the game and started a new game without it, and I was able to advance time. I'm not sure if you've tried playing with that mod, but for some reason, it's preventing me from progressing in the game. I really want to play with the mod enabled, though, so I'm considering skipping the tutorial to see if I can advance time using that approach. Do you think you could help me figure out how to get the mod working properly with the game? It's available on

If you skip the intro and tutorial it will 100% work with all the mods available. I run all the mods on one game and none on the other vanilla game

I really hate having to start over again—this is probably the multiple time even renaming all the main girls at once by using the Universal Ren'Py Mod, which took some time, but if that's the only way to make the mod work, I guess I'll deal with it. Lol. I don't like the names that the game given the girls. I also just wish old game saves were compatible with every update release.

I also created my own custom cheat file that grants specific stats and opinions for the girls, along with other tweaks that make things easier and faster by one simple command. It works with a simple drag-and-drop into the renpy/common folder. I'd be happy to share it if you're interested even anyone else is too. Of course, you can edit it to suit your personal preferences. You just need to type call followed by the custom command you created (or any of the ones I've included).

 

[Urruah]

I don't really understand the point of the virgin tracker mod anyway. The game just randomly decides who is a virgin and frequently claims someone is when they totally shouldn't be, plus there's no altered dialogue.

If your custom rename everyone, use Universal Ren'Py Mod to save your custom save this will retain all the changes you made without doing it all over again

Is the only way to unlock them through cheating? Isn't there a story event to introduce them?

 

[Daedolon]

OK nevermind, just understood Penelope is the inspector girl comgin when your company's attention is too high. She just gave me the quest for the townhall after corrupting her enough...

 

[slick97]

And where can Penelope be found?

Penelope will randomly roam on the weekends (i.e. the mall, the bar, etc.).

If you're trying to unlock public nudity then you need to raise your attention level above the threshold for her to visit, then get her into a trance - either through serums or sex - and change her opinion on revealing outfits (right most column where fetishes normally are).

Is the only way to unlock them through cheating? Isn't there a story event to introduce them?

The police precinct is intended for special events related to the police chief and other characters - such as Candace's questline. There's no real reason to clutter the map with more POIs outside of major story locations or communal areas.

The town hall will most likely be implemented later once Starbuck has written the story for it. Keep in mind that she's the only one writing story elements for the game while others (such as Tristim) fix bugs and optimize code, so it may be awhile before that location becomes available.

While my custom save retains some changes, like the full names I assigned to them through the latest version of Universal Ren'Py Mod, the original names still revert back to their defaults. This includes their first and last names, titles, their other character and function names, which reset in the value menu. However, I've found a workaround by using my own custom cheat file and the renaming command, which I'm currently updating that occurred to me hours ago. Or less I'm doing something wrong that you found a way to fully keep their custom names in Universal Ren'Py Mod but I don't see how.

My Custom Save:

Her New Name:

When I start a new game, her original first name reverts back, even though my custom save with her updated full name (as shown above) is loaded. Despite that, she defaults back to her old first name:

She will show up mid game when your serums become notorious "Knock at the door" its her
