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

[KEKBUR]

Yes you can say it is RP it didn't need any benefit and meaning ingame ... but i think this is lazy, if there is content it should have a benefit and a meaning if you do it.
Why is it, that it has no longer a meaning? Because it is designed for you to do in T0 or T1? But if you do it then you risk your economy.

I agree that it should probably have some kind of ingame reward (not sure what) other than just managing to corrupt your family (which should and now is harder than randoms).

I am not sure if its because we have been following and playing the game for some time - because if a totally new person started playing this game i am not sure they would do what most of us "veterans" do and focus on getting the economy under control so you can focus on corruption. They will be doing trial and error and won't know that they need extra time to corrupt family while trying to keep the business going. I still now and then see people ask how to survive economically in the game (must be new bros to the game).

I don't know all the details, but get Sis to the point where she is making money (I have no idea if it is through buying high level pics on InstaPic or just testing potions will be enough) so she contributes to the family, then on Saturday when Mom asks for help with the bills she will ask if you know where Sis is getting the money. At first she will talk about doing normal pics with Sis, but that should get you started. There may be more triggers, but telling her about InstaPic is one of the options (probably if you have the convince mom quest).

event does not happen, can i force it with console?

That event should be triggered by helping Lily take Instapic photos each week (not buying photos) and a mom sluttiness > 20 i.e. she is already selling you favors to pay the bills.

I absolutely do not recommend forcing events because you can end up with a broken save or unable to play content but you can:

call mom_weekly_pay_lily_question(mom)

Part of the fun was the challenge of figuring out the formula (hiring people with the highest scores for their jobs and getting production going ASAP) but it looks like the aim is to simulate running Theranos but successfully. I think there should be an easy life trust fund baby mode e.g. you start off inheriting $1 million and a really big brain. Maybe mc.int = 99; mc.business.funds = 1000000

with the console you have this mode, but like someone mentioned i think two sides before this, it breaks easily the game. I havent tried it in a while but in the past this was the easiest way
mc.business.effectiveness_cap=200;mc.business.team_effectiveness=200
if you go with this bancrupt than it is not that your people are not working hard enough for there salary ;-)
but you could also simple use as you suggested
mc.business.funds=1000000
i don't even knew if you can spend a million.

I do not recommend cheating anyone's attributes or skills much beyond the normal maximums. Some mechanics are not written to account for too-high results and I believe that's what causes at least one of the infinite recursive crashes

or the many threads of why can't I get the suggestion serum to work on steph. is almost always down to starting a game and cheating stats early. that is like a first 2 game days event.

Yes, better to avoid doing it that way. Easier to just keep re-upping player's max energy (along with targeted character's max energy if possible) and doing stat increases/mind stuff normally. Also becomes alot easier once decent serum tech increases suggestibility (and also max energy, etc.). Using console to increase stats directly can definitely lead to "issues," although can't speak to infinite recursiveness...

computer is vaginal taboo , don't present bug . bug is after anal taboo control network speech , after that there were no plot triggers for lifting taboo .

ok let's narrow this down, in any of the quests MOM doesn't have a social media account except the forum she is on.
we are talking about this dialog correct

Spoiler: sis anal taboo

Hint, you are not trying to get Mom to take said photo for her own account, cheats can break this quest. But one
of the prerequisites.

1 sis asks you to take insta pic and you accepted

2 mom asks during the Saturday sit down how sis is helping with finances and you throw sis under the bus.
cheats can break #2

3 convince sis to take insta pics with mom.

don't remember if it was bugged that if you didn't have those first before starting, but since the first is part of the original instapic progression, it is early in the game as long as you consistently hit up sis for instapic, the 2nd item happens.

have anal sex with sis, get the quest. in theory this could happen before mom is taking instapic with sis. much less likely in 48 or later.

continue to include mom in Pics,

Spoiler: mom needs this.

the entire quest is spread between the original instapic file and the sis taboo file.

otherwise not seeing for mom anal taboo, her dalog

and second part, what is mom's opinion, easier to change that opinion with trance, it can be changed
with sluttiness and getting her to the point she walks around the house topless, but as you say that takes
forever. But min sluttiness is 50 and the opinion

you will need to do task that encourages her to strip to change that opinion score the hard way small talk isn't going to do it
Instapic eventually may, I usually just do a trance for the opinions

Question: Has anyone tried to modify the serum traits in this version of the game? I know in V0.46 I was able to and was able to make for example the high capacity serum trait give you 15 additional slots instead of just one and start messing with other traits as well.

But in V0.48 (I skipped 47) I found the traits and changed them however the game uses the original traits still. Has anyone gotten around this?

So ugly...

I got the mom work event where she was going along with her boss but then I got the option to go to the office and talk with him. I met his daughter and talked with her but I don't know what to do after that. Does this game have a wiki for all this content?

I don't know how much contact this forum has with the developer. Nevertheless I have something to post.

So, first, this is a good game. Has much more systemization than most games. Good foundation. Developer has leveraged the game portion very well which is something most do not do or have abandoned doing.

One of the best things about the game is seeing how the girls' outfits change over time. However, it seems that if you changes to their outfits, especially by deleting things, and I'm not too sure but maybe also by adding things, that the natural progression gets overwritten and ruined and new static outfits and variations of their default ones stop showing up down the line.

Be nice to have a fix for that or at least to be able to restore a single girl to default. Maybe also export your own custom outfits to restore them after resetting the girl.
