Bug report: Seems Lucky Bastard perk doesn't work as it should. Still lose Karma for every bad action (Max LvL perk)
you'll still lose karma as usual (otherwise it would be too easy to max to 100 in no time), it's just that karma below 50 no longer has any effect

Im attempting to do the missing person quest. I get to the Spy on Denise mission and have done it probably 30 times with no change to it. Is this a bug, end of the quest chain in this version, or do i need to spy at a certain time?

Question and an Observation.

Question: Is there a way to find your boss' contact info? My char has had an affair with theirs, but I've found no way to add that boss to the contacts list.

Observation: The even to meet your spouse's co-workers can add a huge number of colleagues at the top of their contact entry. pushing the Block, Invite Out, sent a gift, even the close button, off the contacts screen. I like that there's a way there to select those NPCs to follow up later and find their contact info, but I would suggest that those be wrapped into a menu option somewhere so they don't push the other options off the Contact screen, or add a scroll bar.
The other way is to spam the 'meet_old_person' scene. To run a specific scene, hit tilde ("~") and then a console will appear in the lower left. Type a scene name in and if it can run, it will run.

OpenStreetMaps have unerring accuracy when it comes to churches, but leave out the most glaringly conspicuous strip clubs and sex shops. This one probably didn't come from them:

You just have to spy on her 10 times.
I agree it's probably not the best mechanic - will try to avoid grinding like this for future quests

Yeah, quests pick an unknown building to change to the type it needs if it can't find anything existing

One of my new patrons just pointed out the fact that since their recent UI changes, Patreon removed the 'Pledge Extra Per Month' option at checkout after you select a tier. Therefore, it's no longer easy for people to pledge any amount they want like previously with my old tier structure of having just one tier of $1. As such, I have now listed all the different amounts as tiers so that new patrons can continue pledging whatever amount they want.
If you're an existing patron and are already pledging the amount you intend, this doesn't affect you in any way, no need to re-pledge to a new tier or anything.
I'd like to stress that this 'addition of tiers' is purely to deal with a UI change from Patreon, the concept of allowing patrons the freedom to pledge whatever they want hasn't changed. Feel free to pledge whatever amount you think this project deserves :)
Thank you for everyone's support of this project! Without your help, this project wouldn't have made the same progress it has made and will continue to make.

Huh. I assumed it was rolling a die behind the scenes. I've gone through it twice now, and never thought to count.

Is business reputation specific to one business, or equivalent to player company stats? And how would you specify an employee of a specific business, as a player or modder? As a player I'm trying to transfer employees between businesses and avoid hiring redundant workers to any of them, but many of them have lost the business name from their contact info, and the only ones that show up with the employee filter are the ones that worked my first business, which I no longer own.

Is TimePassed removed now? It doesn't exist unless I initialize it, and doesn't increase with passTime().

It's not necessarily bad, just could use a little more activity between them, instead of repeating the grocery. That's what made me believe it was all RNG, so I reloaded to get the same result, then concluded it wasn't finished. It would be better to add some indicator that the player is making progress.

place them in /lifeplay/content/modules
Then open the game, load your save, press esc and go into the mod manager, check the mod.
How to use the mods depends on the mod in question. Some mods should have a simple read me or instructions file check that first.

With >100 perversion, my character doesn't even have the fucking right to act like a naif whenever someone else takes the sexual initiative -- even less so considering consensual sexual history between us.

Two further issues I have with this is 1) the player is presented no choices in this encounter (who the hell says I don't like her in the first place?!) and 2) the game is so lacking in opportunities to develop dominance stat because encounters deprive the player of the opportunity to establish dominance in just such situations!

EDIT: And this here is a no-win scenario:

I can remain silent and be thought a bitch, or lose my cool and remove all doubt. The option that increases dominance isn't an example of it.

2.11 includes a public beta testing period before official release. So, here are the links for those wanting to help beta-test this version (or just really impatient). No previous beta testing experience is required - it's as simple as playing the game normally and report any bugs you encounter.
  • (requires v2.0 Stable or later)
The beta testing period will last around 36 hours, aiming for official release of v2.11 (which will include the rest of the platforms and mirrors of course) on the previously promised date of Saturday, 2 November
My preferred channel to receive bug reports from beta testers is . But a reply here would do too.
If you're not interested in beta-testing the game and are not super impatient to try out the new content in this version, it's recommended to just wait until Saturday for the final v2.11 releases.
Thank you for all your help!

Change Log:
- 10 new female hairstyles, each with their own morphs for further customizations (I will work on new male hairstyles in a future update - ladies first!)
- A new story quest called "Alpha Male": An naive girl with a thing for bad boys keeps getting back into an abusive relationship with a dangerous gangster, even against her more mature best friend's advice. Will you team up with the best friend to save the poor girl from his cycle of abuse or will you join the thug's 'wolf pack' and try to 'break' the best friend too? Three different paths you can take for the story. The named female NPCs in this quest use some of the new hairstyles above.
- Reduce NPC clothes clipping by adding a comprehensive list (this list is also moddable) of all the possible combinations of top, bottom and / or outerwear pieces that have been tested to not clash with each other. NPCs will now dress by picking from this outfit list, rather than just mixing completely random pieces that may clip horribly with each other like currently. Basically this new method sacrifices a bit of variety for more graphical consistency and less eye sore. (If you already use the 'Set Inventory' feature on a NPC to force them to wear the same outfit all the time, that takes precedence so this new system won't affect that NPC to dress randomly again, don't worry!)
- Add information bubbles about what stats are increasing / decreasing while taking actions, so that, even if no scene gets triggered during it, taking each action feels a bit more rewarding to the player than just watching a progress bar finish.
- Bug fixes and other improvements, with a public beta testing period

I mabye can explain sth of this, but also would like to exlain my problem with this.

With >100 perversion, my character doesn't even have the fucking right to act like a naif whenever someone else takes the sexual initiative -- even less so considering consensual sexual history between us.
First of all this is a RAPE scene from the non_consensual base stuff. These scene are nearly all very, very simple. If you don't use non_consensual, turn it off.
On the other hand this reaction comes from an attraction stat and NOT from dominance. Dominance (masochist) isn't even checked in this scene:
This check cause your reaction --- > Random(50, 250) > Actor:attractiontoplayer

That means she lost this check resulting in this. It's not very logical, but yeah ... lol

(who the hell says I don't like her in the first place?!)
Someone who is very alpha and she's not worthy? :D
You should keep in mind that she can look great as a 3D model, but her attractiveness npc stat is below 10, instead of 90. At the moment there is no connection between real appearance and stats. ;)

2) the game is so lacking in opportunities to develop dominance stat because encounters deprive the player of the opportunity to establish dominance in just such situations!
Now comes my problem with this ... at first the stat for dominance is called "submission and masochist" ... this alone is rather confusing, because submission and masochist are not even the same thing. :D
But this stat is used often in different scenes as checks, but you can only raise or lower your dominance/submission level in random scenes that only trigger if you met OTHER requirements. This makes it very, very hard to modify this stat. Additionally it's often not clear this scene is about dominance/submission, because of missleading dialogs and maybe discover it afterwards.
There is also nearly no scene in vin_base for dating/companion that adjust your dominance/submission stat other than random corruption scenes.

And since Vinfamy is busy improving the game engine, I guess you need to get involved and creating a few mods. :)
Currently I'm working on a mod (PimpMyGirl is mostly finished, so it's a new one) where you have a little bit more possibilities to raise or lower this stat for you and your companion (or at least try to do it) during the goodbye scenes.
Next thing after this would be to write more dating / going out with a companion scenes that are more to my liking and more stat based. Also with scenes that trigger when you do sth with a companion (not like some random stuff). This will also mean that women can become very crazy & demanding or calm & submissive depending on their stats.

If you have any suggestions, let me know.
