Unreal Engine Abandoned LifePlay [v2023.04 Stable] [Vinfamy]

[Frurose]

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?

I would love the sliders to start at normal and allow me to go lower or higher, according to individual prefrence.
It seems that (for the rest of the body) nearly every slider makes the attribute larger. I cannot seem to start a character that doesn't have a plump ass and a pot belly, without making them into a starving crack head (with a plump ass and pot belly).

will add this as an optional setting in the next version (allowing the sliders to go from -1 to 1) that's disabled by default, meant for somewhat advanced users, because using negative morph values can result in your perfect body, but also must be used with care as some of the sliders will straight up deform as soon as it enters negative territory.

I don't know if this is a bug or just me being an idiot, but with the latest version I seem to be facing this issue...

I select a male MC
I tick the check box for "interested in woman" and leave the other two option unticked
And yet in the game only men seem to be hitting on me

am I missing some option or setting?

Potentially silly question, but will we eventually get the silly orc overbite/underbite teeth in the newer models? Couldn't quite replicate that effect when I was messing around.

Horns and other appendages would be neat, too. (let's just casualy suggest things that will add months of work to your personal project. What could *possibly* go wrong?)

Is it possible to have a character be a fully functioning hermaphrodite via modding or in the future?

Amusingly, I think were there enough options I'd totally changeup all the human style defaults in a city to more of a shadowrun/cyberpunk array of bodies. Because why not.

Lastly, if we cobble together a mod or idea that seems halfway decent, do we mention it here or..?

Thanks for that, no hurry, the game is awesome and coming along just fine in my opinion.

There is a tick box in settings for 'NPSs respect orientation' . You could try and see if that is the issue.

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 just want the ability to to get some people so I can run my meat pie business...

I like those ideas. Your examples about criminal businesses actually reminded me of the empire-building mechanic from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. I think that would be interesting...

Also, being in prison doesn't necessarily mean instant game over unless you were sentenced to life or death. At some point you will have to be released.

One other option is to do what Grand Theft Auto did: You can get arrested but you will have to lose some money and all of your weapons (is there even weapons in this game? No idea...). I actually never had an experience where I didn't have money when arrested in any of the GTA games but I imagine that would lead to game over. Again, though, never got that point so I don't know how that worked over there.

None of it has to have any graphics/art that isn't already in the game.

True, although it would be nice to have 3D interiors for businesses BUT I think that should be something for after the full 1.0 version release. While nice, it is strictly a eye candy and something that should wait until all important things are done. It may be quite a while. Or it may never happen, depending how much work it would take and how much impact it would have on the performance. Actually... I wouldn't mind having some "fun" in my office or the strip club I owned...

I also think it would be interesting to make it a bit more deeper by offering various upgrades for each type of businesses. That should be definitely moddable so I think that is something that @Vinfamy can delegate the creation of the content to them and integrate some of them later in the official LifePlay install. I would recommend, though, providing an example with the LifePlay installation.

Again, as I suggested before, I think we will need to consider a portal or a marketplace for hosting the mods. Not now, though, but one day. But thinking about all of modding possibilities, it is really exciting to see how much potential this game will have over the long run.

And what is even great was the fact that Vinfamy took a pretty extraordinary step to make this game open-source which meant anyone can take over should he be no longer able to continue this project at some point. In other words, its longevity can be assured.

The open-source nature of this game also meant that it is possible for anyone to fork, meaning the creation of a branch of this game that can differ in some ways from the official branch. For example, one might want to do a LifePlay completely set in medieval fantasy world with its own maps. That should be possible, I think.

In fact, by making this game open-source, I think that opens up a vast array of possibilities. Sky is the only limit.

hrm? why were futas removed? or are they WIP because of this Daz model thing?

 

[Gargarlley]

it says incest on the tag but I don't see how, can anyone explain?

You can either add family members manually (for example editing a contact to be your sibling), or do it the fun (and very slow) way and grow your own through pregnancies.

 

[Frurose]

I would like to see some scenes added for the landlord, "I'm so sorry Mr. landlord, I haven't enough money for rent, please don't kick me out." or the landlady version, like in

can you play as a sissy?

I haven't written specific scenes / scenarios for it, but there are a few femdom animations in the game that can be selected for any MF sex scenes
There's also the Transformation start you can play, but the TF is instant from male to female, although during sex your character will remark on how she used to be a man - some of the sentences are quite sissy-like.

hrm? why were futas removed? or are they WIP because of this Daz model thing?

They were not removed at all. Still in there. Ctrl + E > Female > Genital > Penis

 

[Vinfamy]

There is a tick box in settings for 'NPSs respect orientation' . You could try and see if that is the issue.

This is actual intended behavior, because irl, just because you're not interested in someone doesn't prevent that person from being interested in you and your gender - hot straight girls getting hit on by lesbians / shemales etc.
That setting was added due to popular requests, ticking it should make only women flirt with you, basically the equivalent of having a sign in front of your chest stating your sexual orientation

i start the game and hit Ctrl + E, nothing happens, i click new game, i see the options 'male' and 'female', click Ctrl + E again, still nothing, click female and go to genital, see 'none' and 'vagina', Ctrl + E , still does nothing, click on both options and confirm that no penis appears

perhaps im missing a mod?

Nice to hear. As you said this can break things easily, so probably best for the auto generated characters to have their sliders more limited, but for character creation it will help a lot I think.

On this topic, is there some relatively easy way you could add a character fusion feature like Honey Select? The percent variation feature is decent, but fusion would be a good way to start with two decently designed characters and make many from them by fusing until a good but different result is created. It would also be good for generating relatives.

Just double checked, the shemale options work fine on my copy of the game. There should be a penis option under Genital
Delete your C:\{Username}\Philip\AppData\Local\LifePlay\Saved and try again to see if this fixes it
@xvi I haven't played Honey Select. could you explain the fusion a bit more perhaps?

It appears that energy decay is close to double at home than anywhere else.

I did some tests on the hardest setting (Difficulty slider all the way to the right) with Attractiveness, Fitness, Interpersonal, Intelligence, Mood and Energy all set to 100 and simply let the timer run for 24 hours. Everywhere I tested except at home energy decayed by about 30 (30-32 range) and about 58 at home (56 to 60 range).

I quadrupled checked these numbers thinking I might have only run the timer for only 12 hours for the not at home tests but I definitely ran them for the full 24 hours and tested at a Fast Food place, Work and a Store.

The reason I tested this was that on the highest difficulty with the above listed stats at 100 except Energy was set to 50 at the start of the test, I gain on average (tested 10 times) about 6 energy total for the complete sleep period at home. That is 7.5% efficiency using the tooltip value (80) as a base. In contrast, eating meals gained around 9 energy per meal or an efficiency of around 60%, which of course is a huge difference.

Something appears to be very wonky with the energy change calculations when you're at home.

Edit: I forgot to mention I was wearing a +2 Fitness piece of clothing (so my effective Fitness value was 102). If I take that off, the home energy gains raise to around 13 per sleep cycle. Bizarre. But that still only puts Sleeping efficiency at 20%. Removing the bra didn't have any effect on the meal numbers.

Also I realized I didn't control Mood or Arousal, but tested changing those to 0 and 100 and that didn't appear to have any effect.

I just need a quick confirmation. I'm assuming the clothing for the new male character models isn't implemented yet? I ask because I'm noticing that none of the males my character interacts with whether he's working or just dealing with a random event have clothing. I went to a clothing store and it was empty, so I just want to know if it's just my game or this is something happening with everyone.

Okay I gotta reinstall this because I dropped it after a bit, is there a tutorial or something?
