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

[rb813]

YEA! THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH! (& MY POOR TIRED EYES THANK YOU TOO!

I hope it worked for you. After I told you that, I had an incident where I was trying to modify something in my game, so I put an rpy file in the /game folder like I told you to do, but it duplicated things instead of overwriting them. So I was starting to think I had given you bad info.

PS if anyone knows what file(s) these are in (in old modded ver, font sizes for Bus P was w BUS stuff, again same w contracts---even the "main" font setting in preferences didn't change them.) please let me know , thanks.

Here's what you can do to hopefully not need to rely on anyone else ever again...

• Go to this page and download UnRenForAll (the other versions don't seem to work with recent versions of this game).
• Follow the instructions to unpack all the scripts from this game (but if you already modified GUI.rpy, make you sure you move it to another folder first, so it won't be overwritten).
• Open one of the scripts in the /game folder in a script-editing program that has a search feature. Many years ago, I started using a program called Editra for renpy stuff, specifically because I liked how the search feature worked. In Editra, you would go to Edit -> Find (you can't just press CTRL-F, because that only searches in the current script).
• Under Find, make sure you select Look In: Current Directory. If you did open a script in the /game folder and Unren unpacked everything correctly, then Current Directory will cover all the scripts in the game. You can search for Bus P or anything else to your heart's content.

is there a walkthrough for this game? seems that there are alot of events and characters that are missable if you don't know what to look for to trigger them.

There's definitely not. The closest thing is the in-game hints and Story Progress pages for each character, and those are very incomplete. I'm trying to put something together by going through all the scripts, but I don't always understand how to interpret the conditions for something to happen. And to be honest, I'm not really prioritizing this project to spend a lot of time on (a barely get to actually play the game as much as I like, and the walkthrough thing is way less fun). At my current rate of progress, I would probably be done going through all the relevant scripts in about two years, and that's honestly an optimistic estimate. Of course, in two years, all the scripts will have been changed, but hopefully the major scripted character events won't change very much.

Iris Vanderberg can be met at Mom's work when you go to speak to Mom's Boss.

When do you go to speak to Mom's boss? In my current game, I've resisted the urge to hire her right away so I can see all the events from her other job. She got the boob job and has pleasured her boss at work once, but nothing else seems to be developing. I can't figure out, either in the game or glancing at the scripts, how to make speaking to the boss show up as an option.

Speaking to the Boss comes from when Mom first mentions that she has heard that she may be replaced at work. One of your options is that you tell her to leave it to you and you will speak to him. If you've done the boobjob and sex with Boss then you've already missed it. Next game tell Mom to use her womanly charms and avoid getting her to seduce her Boss. She will end up doing stuff with him regardless of your choices anyway later on, the Hussy! lol.

Fantastic. That's so annoying.

Cara (Sex Store Owner) has trouble with her finances which plays out if you keep Investing in the Store and her Obedience Level rises. If you already have Rebecca (Aunt) hired as your CPA then you can have Rebecca help Cara out with her accounts. You will also get to watch both of them modelling lingerie in the store on Friday mornings. Iris Vanderberg can be met at Mom's work when you go to speak to Mom's Boss. This is the route when after having a coffee with her that you may not ever see her anywhere again. The other way is to buy a phone for Lily (option comes from breaking BJ Taboo and asking Lily how you can convince her to carry on giving you BJ's when she says that the 2 of you shouldn't be doing things like that). You will meet Iris at the store when you go to buy the phone. This is the option where you can progress further with her, visit her at home, sex etc. The Chemist's Daughter comes from hiring someone with certain stats. She must be single, no kids, under 25 years of age, no mother or sister in the game and not a clone, hence you won't always be able to find her easily.

Thanks I guess imma try another play through to get those people now XD

 

[IdleGuy]

Two questions:

1) What's the trigger to hire Rebecca? She's preg in my game, I hired Gabriella. What do I need to do?

2) How does the breeding fetish perk from nanobots work? Is it gradual increase in unlocking or is it random % every time you administer the serum?

The Chemist's Daughter's name is what?

She has a random name.

I just found out something kinda interesting. It's possible (and in fact, quite simple) to modify the clothing_lists script to put a bra in the shirts category (in addition to also being in the bras category). So for instance, you could have a girl wearing a sports bra as her top, and then a lacy bra as her underwear. I'm assuming this will work with other types of clothing items too, set the Booty Shorts as underwear or whatever. It doesn't add any new items, but it could at least allow for new ways to mix and match.

How get I jennifer’s housewife route?

I just started a new game but for some reason Kaya is not showing up as working as a barista at the coffee shop. It says she's unemployed. Will this affect her story line? If so, can it be fixed without restarting?

How far is Alexia's storyline?

she has not shown up yet

 

[rb813]

she has not shown up yet

I think Kaya won't be a barista until after Alexia is eligible for you to hire her. I think the game sets up Kaya as her replacement.

The game has some strange behaviour at times, especially at the beginning. It is possible in the very first few days of starting that you can actually meet both Kaya and Cara (they won't be in their usual place of work) just by roaming around the map and introducing yourself to everyone you see, which is how I play. Then it gets silly because later on you get to meet them all over again when the story calls for it. In my latest game, after having already had sex with Iris Vanderberg at her home, I then met her again at Mom's work and the game acted as though I had never ever met her lol.

I have activated "public advertising Licence" and have already picked Alexia as photo model for the company. But I am already at day 56 and have still no option to make photoshoots with her. She has also not spoken to me about it yet.
Am I missing something? She is my girlfriend and has sluttiness over 80 and love 100. Has becoming girlfriend bugged it out somehow?

I could be wrong, but if you activated the Licence before Alexia talks to you about business cards and then purchasing the camera for the photoshoots, it used to lock you out. If done correctly, Alexia automatically becomes your model and then you can activate the Licence if you wish. I'm sure making her your girlfriend shouldn't affect it. There is a console command to deactivate the Licence but I can't remember it. Maybe someone else can post the command for you.

I played around with it, but couldn't figure it out. "public_advertising_license_policy.is_active" is the bool it uses to check whether you have the policy or not. But when I tried setting it to True, it just said "can't set attribute". If they're willing to modify the scripts directly, I think the most straightforward way to make it happen would be to go into organisation_policies and change it to "toggleable = True", but I don't know if that would cause other things to break.

It's been so long since I last tried delving into the scripts, except when I want to fix or change Typos, that stuff must have changed by now. They push out Fixes and move stuff around daily on the Dev version, which is what I play. Like a fool, I have a bad habit of updating frequently and find something broke due to an update. I must learn to stop doing that lol.

Yeah, I could never handle the constant changes of using the dev version. Although it is tempting sometimes, because I think they made some changes I really wanted within days after releasing the AiO.
