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.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.
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!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
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.
