Ren'Py Lab Rats 2 - Reformulate [v2025 4.0.37]

[LickeyDs]

not an issue of stats being off. its a matter of it says "Requires: positive incest opinion"

There are plenty of other options.
1st pic attached is a screenshot of my old save. She dislikes Incest in that one and there are plenty of other options. I did have anal sex with her in this save, though, because that's required to pass the first dialogue that you can see on the 2nd screenshot.
2nd pic is a screen of a fresh save with her Love and Sluttiness maxed out with cheats. You can see that maxing out Obedience would also let you make her your girlfriend.
As for the 3rd pic, it's the Opinions menu that allows you to cheat their Likes/Dislikes to whatever you want. Set Incest to Likes/Loves and Bob's your uncle.

Also, all of that said, convincing your family members to become your girlfriends will switch their family specific Flirt dialogue to the generic lovey-dovey version. I, personally, found that a bit of a downgrade.

P.S. tried to fix with gpt, but new errors appear, maybe I need a specific version of RenPy?

Renpy 8.1.3 - I just tried with 8.2 and got the same error.

I don't really get what's the point of working on this "Reformulate", besides the initial content they added all the new stuff is just some boring serum grindfest. This game needs more visual changes, more character models, hairstyles and clothes, not another pointless serum trait, when the game can literally be played without using serums (besides selling them) at all.

I'm pretty sure that it's an open project so you're able to make your own additions.

Character models are in the process of being overhauled, there were a couple of previews some pages back.

See post 9341 on page 468. I used these new instruction and they work.

IIRC it was one of Vren's plans and he is gone so... unless there was some other graphical overhaul I haven't heard about.

I'm currently playing from the Dec23, but unless something got seriously screwed up you should be able to get them into a trance and use that to change their opinion on incest. Weaken it from hates/dislikes down to no opinion, then inspire new positive sexual opinion : incest. In the dec23 version, there were also paths to do so if their obedience was high enough or if they were pregnant.

It's being worked on by the modders. Super slow going as the original files and whatnot belong to Vren and he didn't pass those along but it is being worked on.

It's not just all serum grind. There are plenty of storylines being worked on for special characters and events/new dialogue being added. There are new quests and roles, such as head of HR, the lifestyle coach, and prostitute professions to list a few. The reason for reformulate is cuz people really like the base project and want to see it continue and have a hand in doing so.

I think it's a mistake. Lab Rats 2 is a great sandbox, but current modder team trying to turns it to mediocre VN. It would be better to focus on events, clothing, add some new NPC reactions, new punishments, and so on. I would remove all non-random NPCs in general, along with the entire storyline. The story is boring, not interesting, some of the story NPCs (Cara, Gabrielle) are generally fat and unattractive. If all efforts were put into more advanced behavior of random NPCs, the game would be much more interesting and replayable.

What a rollercoaster I went on reading this post.

Agree.

Disagree.

some of the story NPCs (Cara, Gabrielle) are generally fat and unattractive

You can customize their appearance pretty freely with gym sessions, hair salon, and serums.

Tried it, but it doesn't work for me. Thanks anyway.

I took a look at the discord channel, and a user posted a pre-build version of Dec 23. It's either heavily modded, or definitely not the one you can currently clone on git (btw, the last version seems to throw an error everytime there is a sex scene).

The pre-build version I downloaded on discord:

anyone know how to enable the incest stuff

Get them in a trance and then change their opinion about it. If you mean Enable as in actually do stuff, you already can, but like most other "main" characters, they wont show everything straight away, you have to build up to it.

 

[ddtmm]

tip: get them into a deep trance early in the day and you can hit them a few times to reprogram their brains faster

I keep getting this error:

Since I'm a serial downloader/restarter, maybe I left some config file lying around and it's breaking my saves?
This happens with two different PCs and downloads since 23.01.24.

 

[ZacariasF100]

There is some wrong with the PC's girlfriend etc.It often occurs she leave her boyfriend or husband but her significantone is PC.

 

[pinktoiletpaper]

Yes, reading the dialogues, it seems like they consider the MC as their significant other and think they are cheating him... with the MC himself!

For instance, if you ask your unmarried girlfriend on a date, she responds: "You know I have a husband, right?"

I think it affects characters who have some sort of opinion about "cheating on men".

Last stable release was over 4 months ago.
Is it worth installing stuff to try and compile the beta?

 

[pinktoiletpaper]

Yes, IMO. And if you want a sort of alternative gameplay it's worth trying the infamous Dec 23 release.

(It took me weeks, but I finally realized that the develop branch is not the same as the Dec23 branch)
