I hear you on that, but it is still in beta. I have to say in terms of bare bone mechanics, it's pretty solid. I honestly haven't seen anything on this site quite like this.
me neither, but in terms of Unreal engine, there are some nice works , not so free roaming like this
Just played this, there is definitely something good in it's 'seed' but it needs more content/polish (the jank is real)
but fuck it I'll kick in $2 for the patreon, vote with your wallet and all that goodness, but i need to know is it possible to contribute without having the name on the game

I see a lot of people complain about this game. I am gonna tell all of you the difference about this game compared to the other games on this site. Now there are a lot of great games on this site but... when you play them you played them. Another words if you play them again you are gonna know exactly whats gonna happen next. No surprises. But this game here you can play it as many times as you like but you don't know what gonna happen next. You may have play it lot like I have but you still don't know what's gonna happen next. So think about that the next time you complain about how the models look or the antimation or whatever. Now with that said it don't seem that bad, does it.
About animations: I've mentioned a few times before I'm a programmer by trade and not much of a 3d artist at all (i.e. I have the basic technical know-hows when it comes to animating, but I just aint artistic enough). I do know quite a few excellent animators from my LoversLab modding days (Leito, Komotor etc), but I can't afford to get them on board at the moment with my current Patreon income, so we have to make do with Vinfamy's homemade animations for now.
If the game gets better funded, the ideal scenario would be me being in charge of coding and writing and a proper artist in charge of animating and 3d modelling. These two aspects of the game's development require such different skillsets (science vs art etc) that putting a single person in charge of both of them will always make one lag behind the other,
Having said that, I think a lot of why the animations current don't look good is because:
- some of them were made more than a year ago, when I literally just started learning to animate. Even though I'm still not pro at it, I'm better than that now (just compare the anal animations with the vanilla animations for example, these were made 6 months or so apart).
- converting them from the old model to the new model en mass causes some issues. I haven't made any new animations specifically using the new models's rigs yet - those will look better.

Of course, just send me a message on Patreon saying that you want to remain anonymous (you can see there's 2 anonymous donors at the bottom of my 'hall of fame') and I will note you down as anonymous. Usually, if the patron doesn't send me any message specifying what name they want to appear under, I still use the safe approach and obscure their name on the list (just the first name, just the first half of the nickname if it's something easily identifiable) anyway, considering the sensitive nature of the game and porn in general.
Thank you for your support. )
Morphs > click on the category name a few times until you get to Scale
Noted. Will fix next versionTested in a couple cities and it work great, thanks!
You're not done with the financial bugs..
So how exactly do you do camera stuff during the animations? I feel like I understood it before, but last time I played I had issues moving the models into a good "viewing area", and I remember that you could somehow scroll the models until they just disappeared behind the background (don't want to know how to do that, just one of those "need help" things)
It's amazing how far this game has come since it's humble beginnings.
Nice work on the update.
I noticed that scale for 'sexy bits' on the new male models is pretty big at the lowest setting. Lowest setting on the slider is like 12" haha...
You can randomise it to get something more normal and this puts the sliders off the chart into the text. Is there any way this can be fixed so that the middle of the chart is at least porn normal while the maximum and minimum are unrealistically large and small?

hold middle mouse button then move your mouse around to move the camera
I'll implement some more beginner-friendly UI changes in the next version that will avoid these types of confusion
Good point. Will do this in the next version

So how does one sleep? ..... Or gain energy? Basic functions such as this weren't covered in the FAQ.
You made Family Planning? Kudos!
assuming you already got a home > click on it > sleep / eat / whatever

Clicking on home just shows the name, unlike every other building it did not show an actions menu. I couldn't even "go home" due to this.

I like this kind of games because of the character creation. Here you managed to implement a lot of variations in the creation tool but I would like to see some more quality hair for woman and stuff. There are no other western character creation (no anime) games out.

You could also gain special scenes with businesses, such as owning property and renting it and letting people pay a different way. Setting up an off the books money lending business and collecting, drug dealing..., pimping, brothel. Also put in prison if you get caught which might be an instant game over.I would actually be interested in business management. I always liked that business / real estate mechanic in most of the post-GTA3 games. I guess it feels nice owning something and be your own boss there.Anyway, managing a business can serve as a sort of mini-game but not too deep.
Along that line, I think it would be also nice to have a way to improve your home, especially a house, in some area. For example, buy better furniture or appliances. Could also include adding a swimming pool. The main thing, though, is that you can only do major additions like swimming pool for your own house. Unless the apartment or condo building already have a swimming pool, it is unlikely they will let you build one in there even if you are filthy rich and still living in an apartment.
The thing is, I think it would be especially nice to have that represented in 3D interiors of the home. I believe the developer said something to the effect that he plans to add 3D interiors for different places over the long term, obviously not in near future. But it will have to be done in a way that would not severely impact the performance so I don't think we can do details as deep as in The Sims 3 and 4 where you literally had thousands of individual objects and paints to choose from. It would most likely have to be limited in some way.
I think the main thing is to add variations to the residences over the long run. I am not sure if the costs of maintaining a residence are variable right now and based on locations. There can be different factors affecting that but most especially the property value. Having more amenities like parks and such can boost that value and thereby make buying/renting more expensive.
The major concern here, though, is to avoid the micromanagement hell. At any rate, these are just the ideas for long-term future of LifePlay.
I just want the ability to to get some people so I can run my meat pie business...
None of it has to have any graphics/art that isn't already in the game.
