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

[ririmudev]

Normally promotions occur through the 'performance_review' scene.

Just wondering, is this talking about the base/unmodded game? I'm kind of a nerd with these things and put in a good amount of hours into work (might be the same IRL, lol), and I haven't seen this yet. I usually just pick nurse or doctor by the way.

performance_review is a scene in the vin_base folder so it very much is vanilla

it's triggered every six months so if you only got a job recently, it will take a while for it to trigger the first time no matter how hard you work.

After not playing this for a year, and trying it out again with mods.
Yaaaaa, I still can't find it fun, or worth playing. I would rather just stick with sims 4 with adult mods.

My main want was to try out the mod that lets you customize NPC relationships and create a hand crafted world.
Well I did that, and it was...pointless.

I made an NPC family and a few NPC's that were dating/married whatever. But I soon realized there is literally no way to utilize that. You can't go to their houses, you can't visit them, they only show up where you are. That is a big issue. NPC's aren't anywhere actually in the world, they are just in the void until RNG events pop them up. So, that was disappointing.

Again, there may be some RNG events that pop up but the fact I can't DYNAMICALLY or ACTIVELY visit NPC's is a real issue.
I forgot how annoying the "gameplay" was in this game, its literally just pure RNG events, and they still pop up in the most ridiculous places. I am sleeping, and get a bestiality porn event pop up? I wasn't watching porn, I was sleeping. What the fuck?
I am at some random spot and all of a sudden I want my family member to teach me how to cook?

That shit needs to stop. Its like fallout 4 preston garvey or some shit.

1. Make the "gameplay" something besides pure RNG events
2. Allow for better/streamlined morphs, or at least a functional height slider.

The game has a couple of active events such as crime, but the minesweeper minigame doesn't make any sense. I clicked the green footsteps but still fail? What? It seems like RNG itself rather than a mini game with a pattern.

Either way those "active" events are just triggers to trigger a more focused RNG events, so ya.
Not to mention I never eat or drink anything while playing, I spent a week in game doing nothing but walking and sleeping. Not very life sim IMO, since I should be dead at that point. The overwhelming amount of fluff or bloat such as "drink tea" "drink soda" "drink water", is obnoxious. What is this a survival game? Do I need to count calories? Why is that bloat there? None of it matters.

I still stick behind the mini game idea for activities such as sneaking/pickpocketing/killing but make them something relavent. Like a cheap shooting gallery or timed mouse click for killing, a minigame that requires slow and steady mouse movement for sneaking/pickpocket. Maybe a button masher for raping.

Give us more interaction with the game instead of just clicking menus and waiting for (really out of place) RNG events.

Now I understand why most of the mod of this game is based on random generation and manual selection of NPC. It turns out that the development language logic of this game cannot be intelligently and accurately located and filtered. But I like the game framework and mine stepping event trigger, but to write a sandbox mod similar to the Sims, the game language logic is too weak.

This explains things.

And that in a nutshell is the whole fun of this thing! well at least for me When I started serious programming we had kb of memory not gb, and the colours! well you had enough fingers and toes too keep track of them. The point is, It inspired creativity it didnt limit it! We asked how far can we push this not how much will it let me do? Yes some stuff is hard to get your head around diffrent ways to think about stuff, but its a challenge, and one that the creative people love

Ya, well space station 13 is built in a similar way. Its not "creative", after a certain point its almost the equivalent to having a talented bright individual rapidly degenerate into a husk kept alive by life support, never able to progress, forever stagnant.

Working within limitations does breed creativity, just understand that it also leads to dead ends because it is a limited environment. Just look at bethesda.

If you're wasting your time ranting about how a single, hobbyist programmer's ongoing project isn't on par with corporate-funded software that took years to design with a substantial team of developers, then your ridiculous expectations will be consistently shattered.

Yes, it's just an amateur game platform. It's a place for all kinds of sex lovers to spend their time. If you are the most professional visual senses and professional games, please pay attention to the professional game manufacturers. As someone said, if you are the most realistic about sexual behavior, don't play pornographic games, please find a woman.

Im sorry but this is completly wrong because you are judging this in a blinkered way. Most of the critisim you have against the game can be sorted out very simply with mods.
In fact in the limited time I will spend writing this post, I could have written a mod that would make you die from hunger/thirst. Similar to visiting friends, relatives, and neighbours but that would need a little more work. Vinfamy is not making a complete game as such, if he was there would need to be six of him! What is being created is more a base that we can flesh out. That fleshing out is still very much in the early stages. Plus you are very mistaken, this is not a limited environment, quite the opposite. If we need features adding in the script, we can simply ask for them! Ok there is no guarantee, but the scripting language is also a work in progress.
Interaction and player actions is something I am currently working on. EG. within the next 2 days I will have a mod out that will let you talk to people and ask about there family, and potentialy meet. Thus alowing you too generate whole familys on the fly.
I have to admit, I would completly do away with all mini games within this, but it was a feature that was asked for, and you can bypass it, so its not a big deal.
I also have although not released a series of "Blockers" that stop some scripts running in the game, such as the "wifes a much better cook than me".
Almost everything you are saying thats bad about the game, is to do with the lack of mods, so either start modding or wait until someone who is, puts the features you want in the game. Or just ask for them, there maybe someone looking for a mod idea.
And no this isnt some fanboy, backing the game against everyone. I have been and sometimes still am, one of the more demanding and critical people who use this "game."

Но лично я бы не стал этого делать - качество перевода оставляет желать лучшего, неизвестно от какой версии переведённые скрипты(возможно 2.12, как указано в названии файла, а ведь уже 2.17) и, на сколько помню, в некоторых скриптах было переведено абсолютно всё, а не только текст, что делает их неработоспособными.

Idk if happens to anyone, but i cannot add relationship without deleting currently existing.

If Alice and Bob are siblings, and i set them dating, then they are no more siblings, and i thing it didn't happen previously.

This happens with both Set Relationship and NPC Relationship Manager mod.

Incest relationships are player only I believe.

Will it be possible for npcs to have Incest relationships?

 

[MattShizzle]

In Pimp Your Girl is there a way to NOT have that damn nurse and her damn son come? I don't want to lose my hoe! I also don't want an ugly 50-something woman as one. Also, to reduce how often "looks like nobody is interested" shows up.

Well there is no reason it cant be scripted, but as all the action takes place around the player, and the npc's dont even have stats for each other, im not sure how it would work in the game. You could for example write a script that says, you discover that npca is screwing there sibling npcb. But when you are not there no real actions happen, so I dont much get the point. If you just want sex scenes, get my dungeon mod, train two sisters, or whatever your fetish is! put them in the harem and make the screw each other!

Im sorry but this is completly wrong because you are judging this in a blinkered way. Most of the critisim you have against the game can be sorted out very simply with mods.

I literally just described how the only mod I thought would improve my experience, has no practical use but ok.
The post literally above this one is a modder saying "it could be done" but is offering a work around not a solution, so until these solutions present itself I don't see why I can't have the opinion that its weaker substitute then sims 4 with mods.
Not to mention confirming the fact the game revolves around the player, meaning its just RNG events that happen around the player. Being able to interact or intervene in other peoples lives is kind of the whole point of a life sim, interacting and engaging with things in your life, not waiting for them to revolve around you.

Like you said "simply with mods" ya sure, and people are modding sims 4 way more than this. I don't even like sims 4 gameplay, but its a better life sim because of what you said, the mods.

Almost everything you are saying thats bad about the game, is to do with the lack of mods, so either start modding or wait until someone who is, puts the features you want in the game. Or just ask for them, there maybe someone looking for a mod idea.

Everything bad about the game is due to a lack of mods...
Bro, you have been playing skyrim for too long.
Its not unreasonable to ask for a better game framework besides pure random number generation spewing random dialogue and sex scenes at you. Some interactivity and more engaging mechanics aren't a crazy thing to ask for.
You give the impression of someone who likes those text only sims like CoC and such. If not thats cool, but the way you think the base game is perfectly fine, fun and enjoyable. I don't see it. Its a bare bones sims game without any actual simulation gameplay, just clicking through menus and watching text or sex scenes.
Again, I can't help it that I can easily compare this to one of the most well known franchises in gaming, but the fact of the matter is, they are in the same court, so you can't just ignore the comparison because it may not compliment your own beliefs.

I agree with you that the game could use some more stories and less randomly generated events. But as LL said they just need to be scripted and therefore someone just needs to do that exact work.

The game engine (although heavily bashed) is *not* the problem. I don't see why one should not be able to write a story mod.

I personally don't like "stories" like in visual novels, so I won't create such a mod. But I could help doing so.
So, if you are intersted in making things better this is my offer: You do the story mod and I do help with the code.

Does this have any bimbofication content? are there mods like that, can it be something you can do in game?

Yep. I'd get at least both of these from sexybastardo

If you just want sex scenes, get my dungeon mod, train two sisters, or whatever your fetish is! put them in the harem and make the screw each other!

But there is a scene of NPC on NPC incest (vin_Incest/catches_incest), and every NPC has the Incest Tension stat, even if they are not related to the player.

Why is the main character the only one who can have fun .

Seriously i get it, as far as is the lacking of scenes i like the problem i could just write it. (sorry for bad english lol i hope you get the sentence)
But i think that being free to give as much relationship as we want is actually a limit of the engine.

It's not about having just a sex scene, this will use LP only as a sex simulator when it could be much more.

Probably it's possible to add a tag or a stat that emulate the relatives relationship mechanic, but this will make compatibility between mods a nightmare.

It's a small thing, a pet peeve, it's not that i am stomping my feet because this game doesn't adhere to 100% of my fetish, this game is great, but my 2 cents are that the engine should improve in giving the modders more instrument to create dynamics that exists beyond the MC point of view.
