Unreal Engine Abandoned LifePlay [v2023.04 Stable] [Vinfamy]
Good to know. So it was indeed a memory issue of the loading of the clothes assets being too heavy on the system
Not entirely if this would work, but maybe you can restore them now. Then go in game, find a department store / clothes shop / markets > buy apparel > try on each piece of clothes (don't have to buy any)
Then Ctrl + E > change your character gender (don't worry, you'll reload your save shortly) > buy apparel again > try each piece of clothes for the opposite gender
This will basically manually force the game to load each clothing asset one by one
Now you can reload your save and play the game. If no more crashes, then we know your graphic card handles the clothes fine, just don't try to load too many of them at once.
Thank you for all your help.

Interesting game, lots to do (haven't explored everything yet), models are regularly gorgeous (the ladies, the males tend to all look like 70s pornstars including 'stache and chest rug).
Couple of thorns though:
-Clothes textures : waaaaaaay too many occurence of the wooly texture on just any clothes, like underwears (and no apparent way to customize that I could see)
-Animations really off sometimes (understandable with the swath of customization available, but with default characters?)
-When loading a save, activities used in previous gameplay become unavailable (even basic ones like "sleep"), only way to restore functionality is to restart the program.
-Main char regularly runs off to a random location when selecting an action.
-So. Many. Random. Crashes. "Fatal error" happens at random times, sometimes first action after load, on any action or in the middle of scenes, sometimes games runs for hours loading 4somes worth of clothes and chars without a hitch.

Esc > Settings > tick Home Dyes Allowed
Go into your inventory > click on the clothes you want > select the final color slot with ? > the cloth material is decided by the Alpha channel so test different values to get the material you want
Or just go to clothes shop and buy apparel (you can do this once a day I think) to collect your non-wool collection
The game didn't have much crashing problem before this version, I'm investigating this and fixing it for 2.1. Actually, if you don't mind all the 70s male pornstars being naked ( I haven't done male clothes back then), you can roll back to 2.0 Beta 4, which didn't have any crash issues.

(public link, don't need to be a patron to access)so Transgender roles have been nerfed. You can't take the top as a Shemale in the TF route. Your only role is female/futa bottom
update
it only happens when i load a game and i meet other people
if i start a new game the game runs well
the game becomes unplayable

Game has a few very big problems in my opinion, i have few sugestions that i think should make game a bit better step by step:
Start with biggest things:
1) Grind/Passage of time
At this moment game is build around somehow realistic passage of time, but no one acualy was happy with grind that comes with it so game has in game "cheats", and freely gives you option to edit stats at will... Why ? This is like makeing race game with "auto-win" button :V
This is acualy propably the bigest problem of this game. I think that game there need to be an option and in general passage of time needs to be more sims like, to keep people entertained, so characters need to age quicker (and grind need to be buffed acordingly to it). Also skills need to add visible rewords for gaining them then they do now, there are like 20 skills, and maybe 3 feel only underpowerd (others feel mostly usless), if passage of time and grind will not be fixed this game will be like "jump for an hour, see some sex scenes, ok see you next week" type of thing, but if so then why life simulation elements and skills ?
2) Relationships and NPC occupation
This game needs to add and expand relationships. First thing at this moment character occupation and relationship to MC is same thing, which shoud not be, some charater can be friendly, be sexualy active, or acual girlfriend and still be his landowner, boss, teacher etc
Second thing, game need to focus more on relationship interactions especialy friendly ones and non sexual, cuz most of them can also apply to higher tier relationship ones, at this moment there are lots of sex interactions, but MC cant have a friend and drink a bear with him talking about pussies... This also means expaning family relationships, job relations etc.
Relationship also need to be harder to acualy progress.
There should be more "family like" interactions (not only sexual) for all NPC, for example you go with your girlfriend to a move and she asks that her sister wants to join with her boyfriend, after agreeing there could go to cinema with mc and even have some small talk during it.
There should be more "role" and "relationship" type sex talk, if you are fucking both mom and daughter i would be nice if they acualy acknowledge that during a sex scene, if you are fucking teacher or two they should also acknowledge that etc it would be a realy nice addiction to a game.
3) Jobs and activities
Need more events and need some purpuse, for example if i join office i want to climb corporate ladder, if i work as doctor then maybe save people or play as "money" only oriented doctor, if i go study i want to graduate etc.
4) Races
They disapeared some time ago i dont know if its error or what. (characters are only difrent becose of skin colour). I think to make things a bit more fluid races. Races should not work like this -> White impregnates Asian, and child will be White or Asian, i think races should not work like fixed boxes, in which you are one or another but more like colour spectrum of red, green, blue, and characters are generated randomly on this spectrum, this would acualy also work nice with acual children for example, MC is 100% white and meets mosty black girl, impragnates her, and children are somewhere between them in this spectrum. This would make races work more fluid, and less as forced boundries.
5) New scenarios
Instead of adding "new trans game" i would add option to new game to play acual "starting scenario", those scenarios could not only ne "trans" one but also scenarios like "High-school student", "well known doctor", "pornstar" etc and in those scenarios MC already has some traits and stats that are related to those scenarions, in this way i could pick like "high-school student" and work by way to acualy get intu pats of those sexy teachers.
6) Economy
If im not working why do i have salary? If to not give Player to much "nececery thing to do" then acual working should give at least mose more money. Most prices in game are calculated randomly based a bit on one stat.
If im living with some character this character should add at least some portion of his/hers income to MC for "rent paying", unleas he/she is unemployed (but if she/he is then other characters should acualy adress that, being mad about it or letting character be jobless becose they love him/she so much they are willing to pay rent for him). There are many thing that need to be expanded here.
7)Polyamorous Mod
Polyamory orgy should give player more control over that what kind of characters participate in orgy, in general at this moment its mostly random if you have more then 4. If not then i would add acual lock it so that you cant have more then 4 girlfeinds/wives at once, and even add small MC event in which he states "ok i have more then enaught girls in my harem" ets. I would acualy make at most 6 girls x 1 M sexscene (cuz after this its just stupid) and lock number of "concubines" on maximum level of 6.
Im polyamorous mod i would acualy change relations ship status to "concubines" for girlfriends, this could not only change "name only", i think when asking concubine to marry you, and you have more then 1, then all concubines could acualy also show up as brides during "marrige" sequence.
8) Clothes
I would realy like and option to change colour to at least some of characters clothing or in general addin player more control over his clothing. Also i think NPCs clothing should be less random and have some favorite once, and even add player an option to force them wearing specific clothing is specific situations, similary to how clothing works in Sims 3, for example i have relationship with 4 sexy milf teachers, i dont want them to wear common/sports like clothing in caual situations, i want then to have sexy stockings or office like clothing most of the time, or im an old dude that is with relatioship with 4 students, and i want then to wear not office like clothing but more "girly like". etc.
9) Impregnation, children, dieing etc
This is very closly tied to relationships and passage of time, i think impregnation is way to eazy to be honest, i think that MC should acualy work his way until other character lets him impragnate her, or he lets her have his baby, so in general i think that all sex with partners not willing to be impragnated should demand useing condom, i dont say mc should not have option to "pull his condom" and impragnate them unwillingly but this should also chage their relationship a bit. This could also go with more "impregnation/pregnancy fantasy related" dirty talk, for example NPC is willing to get pregnant by MC and during sex she says "impregnate me" or something like that. Also During impregnation scenes i would realy recomend adding some sort of X-Ray or even a short move that represents ovarie being impregnated by spermatozoid.
Also i have a kid and im getting old, here is very nice idea, maybe after our main MC dies we can play as one of his kids ?
10) NPCs is general
I think NPCs shoud be more complexed, i mean they shoud have difrent social status, difrent traits and stats that acualy separate them more then they do now, haveing relationship with NPC with bad stats, social status should be totaly difrent then with milionere, high tier with excelent stats, this maybe tied to impregnation, and haveing children so character may acualy want to not like "fuck and impregnate everything" but acualy look for as good mates as possible, so his children may inherit some positive traits. Adding some genetic trait like "genious", "strong", "attractive" shoud also be nice addiction to this.
Now small things that need to be fixed regardless of developing course:
1)Polyamoruos + Incest doesnt seem to work properly with each other, i've played a lot with mom and 3 aunts and i manage to bed all but only one becomes acual girlfriend/wife. Tested on "normal girls" and yes you can wife your mom or other incest relationships and then add 3 other non incest girls, you only cannot (or its porly explained how) have 2 or more incest like relationships in your polyamorous life style.
3) There should be a bit more character information in contacts screen, besides relationships i wouldnt hurt to have info about characters work, what places he/she likes what activities he/she likes etc.
5) Map would realy benefit from adding building textures to the game, like this would look like totaly difrent game in my opinion and i hope there are plans for adding then to at least "London".
6) Instead of random event that lets Mc know what kind of family/relationships npc has, MC should have option to ask questions like "hey do you have family?", "hey are you single?", "hey do you have a job?" etc. off cource NPC should also be able to not answer is relationship level is to low, and of cource event like that should not trigger right away, cuz its a bit weird that NPC literly presents you to her/his whole family like you are some kind of super important person to her/him.
7) Girlfriend/Wives should be way less hungy for MCs attention, they like ask 10 times a day if MC will go with them somewhere, make is so they can only ask once per day like MC can.
8) There are some "invisible walls" kind of situations for time to time, for example i want to know my landowner better, why cant i ask for his/hers number ? Why can i pick with teacher i would like to know better ?
I also have idea for new content:
- Cult Leader - This mechanic could realy nice play with polyamorous mod, and if npc living with np. give some part of their income, you could literly hunt for rich people that have very good jobs (and you still haveing no acual job expierience) to join your cult and pay you so you have no acual income youself but your cult subordinates give you money, and even their female family members xD. Offcouce acualy convincing one person to join a cult should not be eazy like "hey whanna join my cult co you can work for me and give your wife and daughter to me ? - Yes off cource i just meet you that would be great :V"
I hope my post helps a bit, and i didnt wanted to focus on animation related stuff like everyone else but acual game content, not to hate or enything becouse game is pretty nice, and idea it self is very good, but there are some things that could be better and i hope everyone will trat this post more like advice and feedback of someone that played tons of sex-games, and not some sort of atack or hateing.
thx for attention and sory for any spelling errors (eng is not my first).

Tested with clicking all the clothes in clothing store then change gender and click all the clothes before i load my save back.
still random fatal error , i found there is some load in the dark alley sex scene that causes minor freeze without clothes , with clothes folder on , most prolly fatal error. i can play hours without fatal error with clothes folder off.
bug :
1. I tweak the pregnancy period to 0.01 , the child will be deliver in 3days+. but the girl that was pregnant still having a pregnant body set and not revert-able even with apperance changes. is she gonna carry on like that for 10month?
2. hair style for NPC changes not able to save, after changed apperance>confirmed> closed contacts , open again , still the same old hairstyle.
3. Open relationship girlfriend will still come to me and tell me i am cheating on her with another girl or girlfriend.
4. girl friend that accepted to move in with you are not able to find anywhere in your house using spend time with family searching for someone's room, as well as your child and wife, either i broke the game or it is not yet ready?(I accept or believe underage child are not "characteristic" can we abort it when we found out we are or my gf are preggo?
suggestion / questions :
1. is there anyway for me to take others gf / bf in a relationship as mine, if not why not implementing a more exciting way. eg : Anna B and Bella C is couple , always inviting me for threesome dinner "dessert", make them mine , so that we 3 are couples or even marriage etc. (instead of lovers and fade away after long time never communicate < don't know if this are settings cause mine 2 threesome lovers became aquintance again after period of time) < applies to ex gf/bf too.
2. slavery (I know this gonna take times just suggestion) make someone a maid , (live with you or not) then able to make them a slave , follow you unconditionally , without jealousy or without complain, forever (lover status or "slave")

You have some great ideas, i see you are a fans of "eto : girl life" ? XD
I read your post and some of the features already have it in the game like dyes your clothing. climb on some post you will see people asking question of "How to" and Vinfamy actually answered it.
I can see your suggestion are lot more of selecting instead of event based , now the game is random event based, i am totally agreed to have option to have question asking , getting info , more infor on contacts , but that will take a bit of hassle for Vinfamy i guess , cause the more features , the more data + more bugs to fix. hope that he can have our opinion and break it down to different stages for the future , the currect Daz model are actually a great success.
Good Job for suggestion and Vinfamy's works. (^_^)b
All these suggestions can be added directly to his GitHub, which is linked in the OP

There are bugs in Custom NPC Distribution.
1) Somehow it is impossible to make 100% males or females, 1% is anyway goes to males or transwomen. Moreover, if I set both males and females to max, the percentage for transwomen goes below zero.
2) After some time in game (maybe after some specific action, but I tried to catch and failed), all values in right column (sex, orientation, fantasy races) fall to default ones. After that it is impossible to set custom values since they reset immediately after settings menu is closed.

Game is in development, If you want content you can always add it yourself. I personaly think this game could take off in a lot bigger way, if more people started adding modded stuff. Dev cant dev and add loads of content. In only a few hours I made a player dungeon with several cells, mods so you you can kidnap npc's, store them, play with them and then ransom them back into the game. You can even mod any scenes in the game if there not to your taste. e.g I changed the "home invasion" scene so I can do it to any npc in the game I want, and then kidnap them for my dungeon. Just loook in the Docs folder.

I concur, if the mod community took up minor content. Vinfamy could concentrate on the base code. ie. animations, dolls, activities.
As a start I will put my dungeon mod up for share, although its very basic content at the moment. Kidnap via "RMB/Organised crime/invade someones home". Dungeon via "RMD/Organised crime/Dungeon". Will be adding Build/Expand/Improve dungeon, when you own your home only. As well as slave features Train/Corruption/Multi person sex/talk etc. As and when I can be bothered/have time.

If game was not in development, then what whould be the point of makeing remarks on "whats needs to be added/changed/fixed" ? Secondly about mods.
Mods are ok, especialy official ones, but dude keep in mind dev is acualy takeing money to make it, a modders dont, if people dont want to mod this game then it means core of it needs to be changed. For example i could make a cult owner mod, but to do it many things in basic part of the game needed to be changed.
Im not saying this becouse i want to hate or enything, i say this because i like game to some degree and see a potential. But some hard decision in basic code needs to be taken to acualy enable even modders to do mods that not concentrate only on sexual content. Also mods are mods, some may be acualy good and immersive, giving some challange, LASTING fun and sexual content, others may literly be "5 minute" type of content.
Mods are good by we are not nexus and this is not Skyrim so modders cant do all work on addictional content fixing most of things (like it was with skyrim). Fixing animations etc is noble and all but i hope dev knows he need to do more then only add better anims and shit, cuz at this stage game realy lax in many other depart,emts, and some things are acualy breaking it even futher.
Some things needs to be added to game by acual dev, if i create a mod that fixes economy, or fixes basics, then ok for me but all other modders will work without it and have hands tied. For example to make a cult owner mod, i would need to expand relationships, made all people living with mc give part of their income, make acual jobs of npc visible, add social status to npc, make comand to npc that have good relationship with mc to move to your house as cult member, propably add new type of house, and and bunch a lot of other stuff, that should be in base game and should be useable for other modders, all modders could benefit on expanded relationship system etc.
Biggest problem of this game at this moment is that this game doesnt know if it want to be life simulator or sex simulator or both, if sex simulator then 95% of content is unnecessary, like grinding, passage of time, skills, life activities that boost skills etc, money, buying stuff etc. If life simulator, then animations is last thing that needs to be changed, if both then it is acualy "ok" sex simulator and a bit of a miss as life simulator, and i get this is unfinished game, but thats the point to adress those issues when game is progress of developing not after it is finished right.

"LifePlay is a life simulation RPG" first line in the description. "OpenSource" You can edit anything in there yourself! download unreal add what you want, if its good put it forward and it may even get added officially. Everyone would agree that it needs a lot doing, but he is one man, and as a 30+ year veteran of creating commercial computer games, I personaly think he is mad doing this on his own. Keep in mind that he isnt taking money to make it, people are donating money, but the game is free for everyone and I dont believe he is doing it for the money. like I said he must be mad.
A great deal of what you described can already be modded, or at least sort off. NPC moving in with MC, via command and relationship-easy, giving income to player- easy, cult house- not so easy, but possible. The problem is, is this idea something most of the players would want? Personaly I dont find the game "grindey" at all, not with the time functions, and I would probabily make it more so, with more realistic need to sleep and eat etc, but its not my game. When I can be botherd to instal Unreal engine again, I will probabily make a mod to do just that, as well as one to adjust anim alignment, and give the NPC's a few more stat's for me to play with. Although I dont think NPC's will ever be "fully tracked" within the game, it could be possible to give them a basic timeline for where they are and when eg "9-5 working" and a job description.
