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

The issue about "lives in Unknown", or when the location does not appear in the map, its a real nuissance.

When only affects to 1 single NPC, it can be fixed by typing in console while dialoguing with her:

$ the_person.generate_home(force_new_home = True)

This will reset her house location, that you can know by typing in console while dialoguing with her:

mc.known_home_locations.append(the_person.home)


The real problem is when that affects two or more NPCs sharing the same house, I couldn't find a solution for that.

Renaming NPCs tends to cause this issue. I recomend knowing the address before renaming.

Its the best way to solve this for now.Thank U guy!

I'm using a slightly older, unmodded version and can't get the cloning facility to work. I got the policy, clicked on the option to build the cloning facility in the R&D section, but nothing happened. A few weeks passed in-game.
I've got T3 research and the dungeon.

Anyway I can build it with console or change requirements for cloning? It might just be a bug at this point.

 

[ramvivat]

not asking why - it doesn't make any sense to my why you want that -
if you find the event flags, you might be able to reset them
could break more stuff than you realize due to possible dependencies

this is necessary for the implementation of the final policy of turning the city into a city of total debauchery haha... and for this you must give your mother into the hands of Vanderberg so that he fucks and knocks up your mother. then he will agree to the fact that the policy of officially allowing public sex on the street will be available (which will turn the city into a debauchery city). a big goal of this kind requires big sacrifices. personally, I did not go for such sacrifices. but that's me - a snowflake who does not like NTR. I quickly took my mother away from Vanderberg, making her my Personal secretary slash personal office slut, making it impossible to implement this event in principle. in my city public nudity is allowed, but not public sex.

If I recall correctly, it just allows you to copy an existing NPC, I think from their dialog - they might've been infertile - not sure about that- but i found no reason to copy someone for myself (who needs a cabon copy of your sister - not as your sister, but a normal npc)

For those having problems with NPC homes, like "She lives in Unknown", or missing a location due renaming the house owner:

- The workaround for "She lives in Unknown" was already mentioned here.

- To recover a location missed for renaming an NPC, we need to talk with the owner and set her name in her house again by typing in console:

the_person.home.name = "Actual Name"

Then, we have to type in console:

the_person.home.formal_name = "Actual Name"

Where "Actual Name" is the name of the NPC right now. After that, the house should be accessible again.

You can increase the trigger-chance for the morning / evening crisis-events to fire, if that's what you mean - it should be somewhere in the mod-options in your bedroom

I meant more of viewing the python code, all of the files seem to be in binary. I saw people discussing how they checked the code for events and triggers before, but haven't been able to find any plaintext files.

Ahhh
you might want to check out UnRen for that
https://f95zone.to/threads/unren-ba...compiler-console-developer-menu-enabler.3083/
its a batch-file that extract the RenPy files from the ".rpa" archives using python and should be able to generate readable (and editable) ".rpy" textfiles

Thank U very much.What is more ,is there any way to solve the Pregnant Belly without any information in the girl's profile?I recruit her then she become milky and get the Big Belly but no event happen to change her status to Pregnant.

 

[ZacariasF100]

can player add girl names and families?
i wanna have Tomoe Kisaragi and other girls from VN "Waifu Academy" in my harem.

the File for Names is in the renpy-8.3.7-sdk\lr2mods-develop\game\major_game_classes\character_related\configuration.Just use Notebook to open the "character_name_lists_ren.py".

Try this :

What does it mean？
Rewrite the code in some files？

For anyone using GenAI who’s still struggling with image generation or finding prompts overwhelming, I’ve made major modifications to the code that have produced excellent results.


Key improvements include:

• An intelligent caching system where images are stored based on character state, so identical scenes reuse existing images instead of regenerating them.
• The prompt generation is now enhanced with a robust clothing detection and classification system that correctly handles all clothing types.
• In terms of performance, this has cut generation time by around 80% for repeated scenes.
• The cache persists across game sessions

From a technical standpoint, it now includes comprehensive clothing region mapping (torso_full, torso_upper, etc.), a visibility aware weighting system, deduplication, and error handling with fallbacks.

The system is far from perfect so use at your own risk. I just wanted to share this with the community in case anyone finds it useful.

I tested your GenAI upgrade. I can't help coding, but I hope the feedback helps with some random thoughts:
1 - Your upgrades are interesting and it does run smoothly overall. So I'm very grateful for your great work.
2- I really like the feature you added where you can turn on and off the GenAI, allowing you to play with the ingame pictures. Although if possible I would prefer it to be automatic. Showing ingame images until there is a GenAI image to replace it.
3- Also the cancel button... Big thanks! For those with slow computers like me... huge thanks!
4 - A quick upgrade to all GenAI versions out there is adding a location tag: "at the beach", "at the gym", etc, it helps the AI to produce more realistic content even if you have no background. For instance adding "at the beach" deeply impacts women's hair.
5 - I do miss a few things from the GenAI version I've been using before: One thing I miss is the "Narration Processing", I don't use it all the time but when I see good behaviourally relevant narration text I turn it on and it can produce some very interesting pictures. You can find it here: version from AnotherMike with Narration Processing. If you can add this to your version would be awesome.
6 - Now if I'm being picky, I would suggest a clearer prompt builder. Something like this.

FULL POSITIVE PROMPT = A + A'' [BREAK] B + B'' [BREAK] C + C''
FULL NEGATIVE PROMPT = D + D'' [BREAK] E + E'' [BREAK] F + F''

Example below - I can't code but i do know how to use a drawing tool


So basically what I'm proposing is a positive and negative prompts with space for the whole prompt to be visible and properly readable. These 2 prompts are a sum of the ones below.
The partial prompts below would work as buttons instead of repeating the text again there. When you click it opens a non-transparent BIG box for you to write whatever.

The A+D prompts would be valid to all the interactions within the game. It relates to the overall style of the images created.
The B+E prompts would contain information only valid to that specific women. It relates to age, profession, face, body, hair, skin, etc.
The C+F prompts would contain the conditional information that relates to that specific interaction only. It would contain locale, clothing, pose, interaction details, etc

If this could be coded I think it would make navigating the prompts far easier. Going even further, the Narration Processing could be included with on and off switches as two extra buttons.

I hope it helps. Everything looks so easy when you don't know how to code.
I hope my remarks help in any way and Big big thanks for your contributions!

Is it normal that images takes much time to create? Or I configured it wrong? Because I have to wait like 7 minutes to each option, talk, small talk, kiss and each one generates a image.

 

[hibakuxa]

Is it normal that images takes much time to create? Or I configured it wrong? Because I have to wait like 7 minutes to each option, talk, small talk, kiss and each one generates a image.

The time it takes depends a lot on your configs, desired results, and the machine you're playing in.
I have an old machine. I have to use the "--lowvram" in the stable diffusion command line for it to work. Each image takes about 2 minutes for me. And i find it unplayable. The reason I'm investing time in it is because I expect to have a new computer soon enough.
Anyway, if you don't have to use that argument in the command line, you should get faster results than me.

<<< these are the in-game configs i use

You can find the model checkpoint here:

You must be registered to see the links

and basically I use their recommended settings for sampler (LCM) steps (7) and cfg scale (1.3). I also kept their image aspect ratio of 1.25 although using a lower resolution 640x800. I tried using their recommendation size but it would take more time to generate the images and it would break often.

My first attempts at GenAI were far worse. For instance when I tried the LCM sampler for the first time I thought it was literally the worse of the list. In the meantime I realized that the important thing is to use a model checkpoint with the settings they were trained to work with to get proper results.
Some model checkpoints are meant for artistic purposes with high quality generations but require an high number of steps to provide any outcome, while others give you decent results with few steps but if you raise the number of steps they fall behind in the artistic value.
In our case if the game is to be playable and enjoyable, that means time is an important factor. So my advise is using a model checkpoint that was trained to give good and consistent results with a low step requirement. The lower the steps, the faster the generations will be.

These are a few examples using the GenAI version shared by user689. No big prompt changes. Just adding to positive prompt style "<lora: Pony Realism Slider:2.8>, Stable_Yogis_PDXL_Positives2" and to negative "Stable_Yogis_PDXL_Negatives2-neg".

Those are the first 10 interactions in a new game. Not all is perfect but I have to say that I'm happy with image quality and overall consistency of the results.

FYI the realporn MOD (and the GenAI MOD) do not work out of the box on Linux because the author sets the path to game/Mod while the real name of the folder game/mod and then there is sometimes an issue with the casing of the genre subfolders..
A couple of months back I had tracked down the code of the MOD and made a fix but I can't seem to find it anymore.

I was going crazy trying to figure out why it's not working. Did anyone have any luck making an update or edit of that mod so it works on platforms that aren't Windows?

You can run it through Lutris on Linux with standard settings and the Realporn mod works then. I do not use the AI slop so I don´t know about hat part

Thank you so much. I will try this setup. They look good, which one is Nora?

I didn't do the generations of the introduction. So there is no Nora.
1 Stephanie, 2 Sis (Lily), 3 Mom (Jennifer), 4 Camilla and the rest are random NPCs

I should warn you that the GenAI version from user689 seems to have a problem with layers of clothing. If the girl is wearing a jacket, it's not retrieving the info from the game to the prompt of whatever she's wearing below. So you will be getting lots of topless action below jackets. I only understood the problem after that post. I'm considering going back to the version shared by AnotherMike: https://f95zone.to/threads/lab-rats-2-reformulate-v2025-4-0-37.32881/post-17311834

Ok, the ai is so complicated. I will try those to genAi and lower the resolution to see which one is better. Thanks.

Seeing some odd behavior with the GenAI stuff and the 2025.07-betaVTMod4.0.37 release. I can't generate images and when I try I see a traceback on the SD console:

SD is up and running and listening on the correct port and I can use the SD web UI to generate images manually successfully. Any tips?

I had the same get_available_schedulers issue and it was fixed by updating my stable diffusion install. I have A111 installed via git so I just had to pull the latest.
