Have to laugh at some of the stuff that comes up in the "you should" bar. "you should drink alcohol" - 6:30 am. Uhhh.. That's not a good idea.

So i see this game contains tf content? does it have male to female stuff too? preferably through some sort of involuntary methods. I basically want if possible to have some sort of m2f, transition into a stereotypical bimbo, intelligence loss, slutty makeup increased assets and libido, i did read that this game is very fetish fueled so i think this is possible.
This comes back to the point meh65 has with the system. This is not our game, its Vinfamy's project and we are just modding his vision of what he wanted. This is not sims, Vinfamy decide to creat something from a single perspective, the player. The sims on the other hand is about many npc's that the player can take control of. This means this game can never be sims (Thankgod). Also sims is NOT a sex game, its a game based around the npc's that emulate life, that has had sex modded into it. This is very much a sex game that is having life modded into it, Sims has limits around the sex that can be added, this has limits in what life we can add.
On the idea regarding incest tension. Yes it could be used however it isnt tagged to go with a specific npc. To do what people seem to be wanting, would be a massive almost impossible challenge. Lets say you want npcs to have an attraction stat to other npc's this isnt one stat to be added, it is potentialy dozens for every npc in the game! If npca has 20 attraction towards npcb, what about the other 50 npc's in the game, are you going to record a record for every npc to every other npc? thats 2500 recorded variable, just for one stat and 50 npcs. now for this to be viable the computer is going to have to track and emulate the actions of each one of these npc's, where they are, what they are doing etc. All this can be done, sims sort of does it, but in this game, no way is that realistic.
Lets be brutaly honest there are a ton of things that Vinfamy could have done better, or at least diffrently. But he hasn't and this is his game, so we go in the direction he has chosen. That doesnt mean we cant force it in diffrent paths or shapes, but much of what people seem to be asking for would require the game to go along paths it wasnt designed to do, and would require a complete rewrite.
The scene you are quoting for example. although about incest that doesnt include the player, it is still about the player and revolves around them, Player catches, player offers to join. I think this is the way the game will always be, and not something we will ever be able to change.
Detest text only games, skyrim was fun if limited and boring, for a short time. I do not think the game is fine, far from it. I think I have pissed off Vinfamy more times than anyone else, with request for features, complaining over shortcomings etc. However I do know what this game is and isnt!
It isnt sims! sims is a life sim made by a team of programmers for the commercial market. It has no real sex in it at all, its cartoony and quite childish in nature. It has had sex added to it by mods, but even that is cartoon sex and very immature. It is also not based around a player, but a group of people, usually a family. and has been programmed to do this.
This game in contrast is an adult sex sim, with a few life sim elements. these elements are currently quite weak and not the main focus of the game. Its other main diffrence is thats its based around ONE player, and not a family or group. Theoreticly it could be possible one day to add some base simulation to other important npcs, if that is what Vinfamy decides to do, and maybe even tansfer your player self to another NPC. But I think it will always be revolving around that player, so it can never be anything like sims.
If its what people want I Personaly will mod the game to add realistic needs Food/drink/fun/social/sleep and anything else in the bloody list. But not before the dungeon mod is finnished.
Technically there is sex in sims games (woohoo), but it's very cartoonish and not visible without mods (I've only ever played Sims2 - 1 was before I had a modern computer - had a Commodore 64 back in the day - 3 I didn't like the looks of and for 4 I won't subject my computer to Origin.) Unlike Sims, at least this game fixes bugs without breaking 2 other things for everything fixed (many bugs required mods to fix.) What would be cool was if different playables from saves in the same city could meet/interact. Not sure that would be anywhere near doable though - especially without masssively screwing up something.
Actualy that may very well be posible! But it would probabily require a small program to run outside of the game first.
Basicly you could write a progrm to transfer players to diffrent saves. Or you could just save the prefab ingame and import it onto an npc! either way works.

The next update will address one of the last remaining eye-sores in the game: the city map (no more basic grey boxes for buildings!). It's a purely graphical improvement, but an important one nevertheless because the player sees the map first thing and then for a big portion of gameplay:
- The city map will now show actual 3d textured buildings (4 variants of low-rise buildings and 7 variants of skyscrapers), some trees, pavement and some cars on the road. The 3d models for these are all low-poly (due to performance reasons) and still restricted by the lack of terrain data in the OpenStreetMap exports (i.e. can't generate hills or rivers) so they won't look as good as the city builder games made by professional studios for example but they're definitely still a big improvement on the old maps. The new system will also work instantly with all existing maps - no need to redownload anything from the Mega's optional map folder.
- Rework the map lighting to better suit the new 3d models, enable them to drop shadows and make lighting more consistent (no more sudden jump of light level as soon as 6am is reached, weird lighting when a scene moves time forward, or random changes in the map's lighting when you move from one house to another). Incidentally, this also fixes the blue tint for the 3d bedrooms.
- Optimize performance (i.e. minimize FPS loss from the old map to the new map) for the new maps with hierarchical instanced meshes, LODs and occlusion culling
- Add a second default map that will be included with all releases of the game alongside Central London: Central Bath. It's recommended to tick 'Randomize Unknown Buildings' (25%, 25%, 25%, 25%) when using this map - it's small and compact (lots of buildings in a concentrated area to play with). Even at max randomization setting and with the new textured map system, it loads pretty much instantly. Good for quick testing and weaker PCs that don't get good FPS with the Central London map.
- Update the game's start date to January 2020 (the old start date was 2 years ago). This will only affect 'New Game' and not your current saves.
- Bug fixes, modders' requests and other improvements
Estimated Release Date: Saturday, 8 February (with a release candidate out at least 48 hours in advance for public beta testing)

He does them. If you're a donor you get a map request granted.
Once v2.18 are out with the maps looking pretty, I will start posting a monthly post on Patreon for people to reply to request maps, just to make the process a bit more transparent and accessible - easier for me to not lose track of the requests too, not that people couldn't send me a message to request maps before

A map of Mons Veneris, of course. I hear it's a real paradise down there. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Isn't that on the moon?
I love Haley's story. Sucks latest doesn't work with old saves (bad part of Renpy.) Having to start again from the very beginning is awful.
Ok. I just started playing this game, and its good so far. There's just one small problem, my character is ok, but the women are having sex with clothes on. Is there a way to fix this?

Here's some WIP preview screenshots for the upcoming v2.18, which will add 3d textured buildings to the game. The map being shown is Central Bath at different zoom levels in the morning. From v2.18 onwards, Central Bath will be included with all releases as the second default map alongside Central London - being a small and compact alternative to the London map, i.e. the 'performance' map.
Of course this new map system with textured buildings isn't limited to Central Bath or Central London, it will also work instantly with all existing maps - no need to redownload anything from the Mega's optional map folder.
If you have keen eyes, you may notice that the buildings' meshes get simplified (i.e. less polygons) the further they are to your current view and as the map is zoomed out. That's the LOD system in action - an essential way to optimize performance and limit the FPS loss in the new textured maps compared to our old 'grey building' maps.
The amount of difference a little bit of color can make is astounding, looks great!

the graphics settings are only available after clicking new game, then esc > settings
If you cannot start the game at all, it's likely because you're missing some dependencies or you downloaded the Update Only without having a previous version of the game (if this is your first time trying the game, you should download the full download over 1.6 GB not the 370 mb file), not because the PC is so weak that the game can't even start
Requirements To Run the Game:
(very likely you already have them installed if you've played other Unreal Engine games)

I've seen reports of absolutely ancient PCs being able to run the game - just at low FPS.
Also, if you're using a laptop, check in Nvidia Control Panel to make sure the game is using your PC's dedicated graphic card and not the laptop's integrated graphics one
If it crashes after selecting the Central London map or after selecting Quick Start from the main menu, you simply need to use a smaller map (like Bath, which from 2.18 will be included in every releases) from here https://f95zone.to/masked/mega.nz/1...ViyI9RBIItY3Bbe0IV3QPn71xFozORP1ejMnsZqRpr5aQ
