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

[makeitso]

when i try to open the game it just crashes before opening. Im on Mac, and i can run the unmodded version of the game. Any ideas? Theres no error log, cause it just doesnt open

Is this with the full package or no? Latest version from OP?

Yeah, when I run the full package (mod + game all packaged together) it just will show the icon but nothing happens. Then, when I built it myself, the game itself works (so I know that I can run the older version of the game.) But, when I add the mod files, it crashes instead.

Hm hm... "Updated Renpy (v4.7.11 required for MOD v0.49.2.4 or higher)"?

I think so? I tried moving the renpy folder after your post so my folder now looks like this:
labrats2 (app), and then the extracted folders with:
(1) the bugfix,
(2) the mod,
(3) the lib and renpy folders that were within the extracted renpy folder

I got an errorlog this time:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

It hurts me to see such a long file path but I'm going to assume that's not the issue. I recommend deleting what you have, all of it, and go back to the first post on the first page of this thread (aka the OP, Original/Opening Post). At the bottom of the OP, under the header "Full Game Downloads", click the Mega link to the right of "PC-Linux-Mac" and extract what you get. Try to play that without any tampering - theoretically it's ready-to-play out of the box - and please report your findings

Yeah, this is the first thing i tried (and tried again after this post.) The pre-built crashes without an errorlog before anything even opens.

Nvm figured it out! Gotta merge the lib, renpy, and game folders with their respective counterparts instead of replacing them (I do feel like the instructions could be clearer on this tho.)

I have a question about max energy.
I like to cheat some stuff to have a more casual experience. One of them is having as much energy as i like without advancing the time. I remember maybe 1 or 2 years back I could just modify my save file to have 50k max energy and never have to worry about it but after some version this was not possible anymore (or I'm just too stupid to find it now). Now even with cheats from the game the max energy is max 400 and i would like to go over that to not have to open cheat console every time I'm empty and refill my energy manually.
I have no real clue of coding, how to modify gamefiles other than the save game (which i do with

Game version i am using is Lab_Rats_2_Mod-v0.49.2.5-market

Console commands should work. Open the console with shift + O and type:

mc.max_energy = xx

replace the xx with your desired amount. Make saves/backups before you try it just in case.

Thank you so much! It worked =)
Also thanks for fast reply

Yes, to all the Mac (arm?) users, since MacOs doesn't have a default option to merge folders (aka replace newer files and keep the rest of the files inside the folder) you must:

1. Download the base game
2. Download the mod / bugfix
3. Manually replace every single file and/or find an online guide on how to merge folders

OR

1. Download the modded version "PC/Linux/Mac"
2. Download Renpy
3. Put the modded version inside the Renpy folder
4. Run renpy.app
5. Run the game from Renpy or build the game yourself.

It's contorted and it's no news for most Mac users, but it's probably worth mentioning.

Can someone help me where can i find the change whole wardrobe option where I can add specific items to all sets like a collar?
For some reason I know there were an option like that but I can not find it. It's really bugging me especially since I could set it up for a couple characters, but now I can't change it.

The 'modify entire wardrobe' option is disabled by default so you have to enable it first in the mod settings, accessable from the bedroom. Then you'll have the option when talking with a girl and from there 'Change base outfit'.

I get the same thing, but I assume it's because I tried to install the beta version over .51, and it still only works with .49...?

 

[doomwad765]

The conditions for the event to trigger are (you can check them with the consolle):
get_strip_club_foreclosed_stage() #should be zero (the event didn't triggered yet)
sarah.event_triggers_dict.get("epic_tits_progress") # should be different than 1 (Sarah epic tits event is in progress)
mc.business.funds #should be higher than 60000
cousin.event_triggers_dict.get("seen_cousin_stripping") #should be True (you've seen Gabrielle stripping) OR
cousin.event_triggers_dict.get("blackmail_level") #should be >= 2 (you've already blackmailed her)

Let me know if your parameters are as shown and the event still doesn't trigger.

Bit of an oldy but I've been trying to get this event to trigger too and all of these are true for me, still not triggering.

Im having an issue getting the Kaya events to fire. Rn it says that there's no content after the first date with her. Im running on Mac through the renpy launcher

Doesnt work with .51, got it working with .49, so all good, thanks

 

[MaxTheDark]

There is some weird fade-in on every time period change, I don't know if it's from the mod or the game, but is there a way to disable it? Really annoying when you have to sit and wait because the game wants to take a few seconds on the ever-so-important transition between 'room' and 'darker room' backgrounds...

 

[Scion]

With Vren planning on incorporating Live2D into the next update of LabRats v52 (now pushed back to next month), will the planned update of the mod still coincide with v52?

I ask as I wonder how much work that will put on the modders to incorporate the new system into their existing additions. I freely admit to ignorance but I wonder if the new system will break anything existing, thus creating more work.
