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

[redlupa]

is there any way i can alter the skin colors ? i would like to make my black girls darker than the standard in game but not sure which files skin colors are set in.

There are serum traits that darken or whiten the skin color in the game.If you are using the mod you could also use the built in cheat engine to alter the npcs' features including skin color.

In the mod you can do this by clicking on a npc you want to alter,great each other and while on the dialog screen with that npc click on cheat.
On the left side you will see your name,company name and the npc's name you are talking with.
Click on their name and you will see several options.
Somewhere at the down middle there is a list of tabs which contains the specifics of the npc you are talking with.Face,body type,hair color etc.
You will see the skin color,click on it and set it to your liking from the variables.

EDIT:I realized what you ment.Solutions I mentioned are irrelevent.Now that you mentioned it I would too like to alter the skin colors beyond what's available in the game.Darker skins,blue skins,purple skins, etc. why not? Someone more experience with this stuff gotta look at it.

Come to think of it that trait could be used to jump start the stat development in the early game and for instances like yours.Compared to my serum that would be the real "fire and forget serum".As I remember you get it fairly early so it's doable.As for me I like to change stuff on the go and micro manage things a little bit.That trait sounded too committed for me.

If all else fails,apart from the mod you mentioned you could also fiddle around the game files and probably edit the traits' effects to your liking.Would take some time to figure things out but still possible.Save issue is a total pain in the ass for the games in development like this but by editing the stuff you could create a quite close duplicate of your last save's parameters from the old patch if not exact. That's what I like about these games.You can set almost everything to your liking with one way or another.

This mod also has a built in cheat engine altough Im not sure it has any option for the serum turn duration.

It does not, I use the cheats quite liberally at this point due to starting over so many times (although I limit myself to just starting with a crap ton of money and every trait unlocked mostly. For individual characters I decided (other than the mom, because it amuses me to no end to get her to go full hooker on that first interview questline) to only max out girl's energy and do everything else with serums. (with some exceptions, like that time I accidentally hired the wrong girl and had to fudge her stats to fit in the department I needed filled)


The big problem (for me anyway) on starting over is always the timed quest stuff; like having to wait until the cousin is introduced and all of that.

Not in the way that you are looking for. The game only has 3 skin tones (light med & dark) along with the recent addition of tanlines. If you actually manage to figure out adding new stuff like that be sure to go over to the mod's discord and tell them all the details, as modding the character models was too impossible/impractical when I was asking about it several months ago. I remember at the time there were several people lamenting that due to the way the models are put together and how the dev obfuscated stuff they couldn't even add new clothing options.

I've never seen that trait, where does it come from?

By studying your sister for Nora.Mom,sister and aunt can be studied for couple of times.Give it a go as their stats are rising.

Thank you, I'll give it a try

I'm really enjoying 0.44.

Something that's always bugged me a little: shouldn't "insult her work" be something more like "criticize her work"? You're not being mean for meanness's sake; you're providing criticism to motivate your employees.

My ultimate goal in this game is to turn everything with a vagina into a obedient nymphomaniac who constantly pops babies and gushes milk from their tits when I look at their general direction.Still,I understand what you mean.

OH.OOOH...I remembered.You could modify them titties to create serums instead of milk at some point with a serum trait.Haven't tried it yet tho but that's an option if you want to create extra organic serum batch lines on legs everywhere.Yup.Im gonna attend to this project from now on.

Just a note from my experience:

The serum lactation trait is a production level trait, meaning that it is exclusive with serum size traits (i.e. you can't have them lactate serum and still have 10+ slots left to also do whatever else though you can still add Auntly Potential and such), and lactating the serum does NOT cause them to get that serum, just that they lactate it. For example, if you made a serum that boosts love+happiness+sluttiness+suggestion+obedience, and then made a lactation serum with that, then the character (IF THEY ARE LACTATING) will produce that serum and you can milk them for it, but won't get any benefits from it unless they then drink their own batch.

**On a related note: recommend they don't drink their own 'brew' too much, it's possible to get breasts that lactate so much that they can get 18 doses of serum. Honestly, there needs to be a new serum trait that increases tolerance or doesn't count against serum tolerance.



To ask my own question: what is the story stuff you can do with your Mom's boss's daughter? I know you can be friends with her and she goes to school, but before I turned off game I had gotten her to around 50+ sluttiness and she never had any further dialogue. Would like to know how much further that story goes, or if the "get mom and boss together" route is the developed one.

More bugs fixed and check front page for new version

Also with regards to Kaya, when you meet her mom you can get, er... "off put" by the realization she's a half sister and feel sick to your stomach even if you did have "fantasies about using serums on family members but feel sick when you realize your cum is inside her"... even after getting your mother pregnant and doing a threesome with your mom and sister. Feel like that text needs to be touched up for people who have already done worse (especially since there is text differences if you've been with sister before meeting her as you find the thought of two college coeds 'sexy')

Yeah can see that, although the inconsistencies start well before getting into the mod. Part of it comes monetizing the vanilla game and building mods upon that. and not mentioning the elephant in the room in the process.

Is the self replicating thing broken at the moment? Serums last only 2 turn with it.

From my understanding, it's been patched so that it takes a time slot off each time, so instead of an infinite serum it's now lasts a long time where it is adding n-1 turns each time it finishes (i.e. your 2 turn serum gets readded as a 1 turn, then drops off).

I think a lot of people were concerned about how serums would become permanent with no way to drop them, so a mod/patch was done that let you cancel it, so now it's been patched to just drop off 'eventually'.

Does the Gain Weight serum work at all? I've coupled it with multiple effects that fire off without fail, but even at 15% the 100 times I gave it to the skinny hairdresser, She should have at least went up a body type by now!

 

[redlupa]

Did anyone managed to trigger the NTR events?I haven't encountered one yet.

It needs to be enabled in the settings before they show up. If you really want to see them then crank up both crisis event chances in the bedroom

 

[Janjy]

Any workaround for the black boxes? I tried to downgrade joiplay to earlier versions but it seems it can't run the game properly, it just won't start.

Mod isn't updated for latest 0.45 version yet ?
