Thanks for the info.
Will wait for the bug fixes then, I like to play vanilla as much as possible first then try mods after a few vanilla playthroughs but this game has many bugs and needs bug fixes.
I'm getting really tired of how buggy this crap is. 80% of the women still look like old ladies. Still can't offer a job to THOTs you pick up on the street. Performance is really bad and you can click through the serum screens to underlying buttons. Always have to start a new game because the save system is trash. Accidentally clicked the tutorial on a new game and it threw up errors. The last two "fixed" releases I downloaded had exceptions in the first 2 minutes. I don't even know much about plot additions to the family or Nora because I always have to play through the same stuff that I end up skipping. I wrote drop-in console cheats to max values because this game is such a fucking grind, but I'm too lazy to add buttons.
It's pretty much half an hour of sorting out random bugs on first run, half an hour of cheating through the absolute slog of serums (no idea if side effects are sexy - I just cheat past them). Employees get pissed (even if you leave them alone) and quit or ask for more money unless you grind massively or cheat around it. There's no pre-emptive alerts, so you've got to constantly navigate the shitty menus to keep track of everyone's mood and random "quirks". And of course the hundreds of buttons are scattered all over the goddamn screen, giving you carpal tunnel for all the wrong reasons.
Essentially this is just a shitty boss with a sex addiction simulator. Which is alright, I guess, but 30+ updates of new mediocre clothes, random new "realistic" limitations tossed in and random fucking code churn makes it hard to get excited for this. It has none of the charm of the first game. It's been a summer but the characters all aged 20 years. And instead of plot, decisions and milestones it's just a grindfest with even more grind every month. Either real grind (Vren added some new god-awful stat mechanic, like you're now addicted to Oxy and you have to spend 3 hours every 2 days hunting for a new dealer because they never let you buy more than two pills from them each week) or meta grind (you spend endless hours bug-hunting and cheating just to look for 5 minutes of content that you don't even know how to trigger).
What's even the point of this shit anymore? Vren doesn't test in a new directory - much less a VM. Maybe not even at all. I can't nut to endless console variables, stack traces and exceptions. This thing has gotten to 1.5GB in size, but it's all clothes, calculation and NTRing the SO of random MILFs. All the sexy is gone and now it's a weird power fantasy where you endlessly rebuild a company from scratch. It's pretty much just a THOT dollhouse with Cluster B personality mechanics at this point. I think I'm just going to ignore it for a year or two. Maybe by then it'll get itself sorted out.
Good luck to the rest of you.

I honestly feel like this game has barely advanced since it was first released. I get that there is a bunch of background stuff going on but the changes are so minor... the really front-and-center things like the unfinished looking UI hasn't changed at all. The "animations" are just the same CG graphics vacillating between 90% and 110% size. There's some new outfits -- cool -- but, otherwise I'm not sure what the story has been doing... I'd really like to see the story characters develop more and be utilized more. But, maybe that's just me...
at patreon they say to copy the complete folder (with all images inside).
i have no problems so far, just changing the skincolour (per cheat!) brings different colours face/body...

Talking about "care to read"... Not every bug is the same. The bug he is having was addressed here: https://f95zone.to/threads/lab-rats-2-v0-33-2-vren.7260/post-4342109
Is it just for me or is the most recent build awfully coded? I skipped version 32 and played version 31 before which was - let's say - quite perfomant despite the shitty garbage collector over time.
But this build 33 would have kept me searching for alternative sandclock animations if I wouldn't use Win10 by now - since at least 2/3 of gaming time is renpy object creating and loading. I didn't use my workstations to compare it's performance on that ones - but I would assume that an older game build with a native 4.7 GHz octocore 240W TDP CPU, 4GB VGA and S-ATA 6G SSD should still be capable of running this smooth.

The cheat mods throw errors under 0.33.2 so I fixed stuff until It seemed to work.
All I tested was serum menu, company money, and change faces. Looks good so far.
edit: hotkeys are Z, X and T
