Ren'Py Abandoned Lab Rats 2 [v0.51.1] [Vren]

There seems to be a specific staff who is causing my game to crash, is there a way to delete them?

I ran into a thing playing through the most recent build where hiring an employee's daughter (an event I could never get to fire before) kept throwing an error because the MC had a staff member he had never met. Going and talking to her solved it.

How do I increase an employee's main stats?
Also what are the requirements to progress the sister's only fans story line?( im at the part were the mom joins in and the sister asks if you should tell her about the nude pics, they already have high slut, obedience and love stats)

For people on macOS Big Sur,

The OpenGL error can be fixed by replacing "OpenGL" by "/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/Current/OpenGL" at line 37 of Lab_Rats_2.app/Contents/Resources/autorun/game/OpenGL/platform/darwin.py.

Not sure how to contact Vren, can someone forward that to him, thanks

Merci JeanLeBon! I've tested your modification and it solve the issue! You're amazing!
I've posted it under the bug report of the Discord chat, and on GitHub…

Entire game appears to be massively and completely unplayable right now (at least, for Mac OS 10). Every single scene throws an error that contains the phrase:

IOError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: u'/private/var/folders/vm/m96b1jws2bgg8j1g4p5zylw80000gn/T/AppTranslocation/193483DE-59E9-4E87-AF76-F47D1B628593/d/Lab_Rats_2.app/Contents/Resources/autorun/game/images/character_images/stand3.zip'

Not sure what you mean by employee's main stats.

As for sister's Insta story line- after Mom joins in and you talk with sister about asking mom to do nudes too- that is as far as you get until the insta storyline get update.

Charisma, Intelligence, and Focus can be temporarily increased via serum traits. Work skills can be increased via a randomly recurring event where an employee will call or text you about a seminar and ask if you want them to attend. It costs $500 and you can choose one of their work skills to increase by 2.

K that's where I am at right now

How can I unlock serums that increase traits?Also how do the I give higher reasons for punishments, I know I can make fake reasons but do the more serious ones happen randomely?

Those serum traits require you to get the second level research (you have to pay for it or go trough Nora's questline). They are not permanent, so there is little use of them before you can both dose the whole staff as a policy and produce the amounts needed for it. They give +2 to a specific stat.
As for punishments... there aren't that many options to do so, at least for now. I haven't played with the punishment system on the current version yet, but in the last one most rules-breaking the girls did opened up a lot of the options. The whole system seems to not have been fleshed out well, atm.

Cool thanks

I found something a couple of People has asked for:

To Change the Default idle pose a Girl has assigned use: the_person.idle_pose=u"stand1" (or stand2....., i do not know how many exactly there are), this way the Girl has the new idle pose.

The problem with your code is, that it will cause this unfortunately...

Those temporary boosts are the most useful ones. In the late game (when studying cases for Nora*), you can unlock a serum trait that permanently sets all three attributes to 5, but if you've been picky in your hiring that may be a downgrade for most of your staff.

* The Natural Talent trait, unlocked by studying someone with Int and Charisma at 7+.

What if I did not pay and just did her quest about testing her serum because I though they were branching paths? I'm already in the part of her quest line where I get questioners.

Then you're on velvet. The paths diverge and paying would have locked you out of Nora's special traits.

If you've progressed as far as the questionnaires, you should already have the three temporary stat boosts unlocked. You can use those to pump up someone's stats, then study them for Nora and you should be able to unlock the Natural Talent trait as well.

Wasn't there a flowchart of event's that can be triggered?

Tested this, funnily it only does this with "stand1", "stand2" - "stand5" work fine (no more seem to exist), but why "stand1" is this way i don't know too (but looks funny )

I don't know if it's part of the typo bug fixes (I'm still on last patch) but when talking to the cousin, I encountered a bug where the text says she's asking how I feel about smalltalk, but the responses are for showing tits.

I was thinking about trying this but seeing nothing but negative posts about how poorly done it is. Gonna give this a hard pass.

It's good with the mod, although playing this game feels more like playing a twine or other text based system, but with better images (depending on how you feel about the ones that use random real porn images). By which I mean that there's not really animation, just character models that change poses and appearance based on what's happening, and you never see yourself, while the text describes the actual scene.

i agree that the save games not being compatible is one of the big issues but the models used for the girls is by far just as big.
i played alot of different harem games, most of which were trainer/management style as thats my kind of game too, but they had a variation of model. this game is as good as its gonna get visually, as if the dev had any intention of using better models down the line then he wouldnt be tweaking costumes, as then changing the models to be more visually pleasing in future will just create a whole new bunch of work he has already fixed.

i dont mind long grindy games myself but it should be a bit more pleasing on the eye when constantly rinse and repeating.
for me its by far the biggest issue this game has. i could forgive the broken saves if the eye was being fed each time i restart

Really, I think the only problem are the faces. I don't really know how to describe specifically what's wrong, and also maybe some hair styles, possibly just certain combinations of face/hair. I do know that using the mod to edit the random npcs, I can never settle on a face I like (I don't mind the family members in this regard, although the HR childhood friend has a bit of a butterface.

I also wouldn't mind one or two more body types (only 3 atm) and is it just me or do the breasts feel a bit big for what they are labeled? Like, the cousin has what the game calls As and I thought they'd be Cs.(That may just be a me problem)

Kinda want to look into adding more options myself, but I'm super out of practice with coding.

With the Cup sizes could be that in different countries they are labeled/measured differently, for example an American DDD size is an English E and an EU F size. Also the bigger the band width, the smaller the same sized cup letter gets (for example an 30 F is a 38 C, but the dangling thingies are the same).
