Is there a way to enable the console? I've tried pressing ~ key but nothing shows up?
That default key is problematic because of different regional keyboard layouts, you can change the keybind to something better by editing \LifePlay\Config\DefaultInput.ini

The name of the action to edit is "TestScenes"

Hey can something be done about the map lag? I've tried previoθs suggetions but it's still so laggy, i end up playing in a small neighbourhood and trying not to move the camera lol. So is there maybe a way to see it on 2D instead of 3D?

And as always love the game, it's still so early but it's so fun and enjoyable.

It can be resolved with multi-threading, but this is a very difficult coding task that requires digging deep into the engine's source code. I want to have a few more content updates before spending so much time on something so back-end.
The map should only lag when you're doing something (i.e. the game is checking scene conditions). If you want to move around the map smoothly, just hit pause (Spacebar) first.

This is how you should promote an early acces game. Good job.

Other then that, I was frustrated when the game started crashing 20 in-game days after I started it. Reloading the save, the game would work fine for 2 days before crashing again.
I had this problem in the earlier version and I hope it would be resolved in the future version(s). Cheers.

Is there a pattern on what you were doing before it crashes? Moving around the map? Taking some action in a building (i.e. there's a progress bar on top of your character portrait)? Have you made anyone pregnant perhaps?
Are using the 'Randomize Unknown Buildings" feature for your map? This can be quite heavy on the system if the percentages are too high.
In order to resolve the issue, I need to be able to replicate the problem first (afaik, no-one else reported such crash after a specific number of days) so the more details, the better.

Started a new game a few minutes ago. It laggs much more than before when I try to move (sometimes I am unable to move while time is running perfectly) and I am using "Randomize Unknown Buildings" feature with all the mods active while playing on Central London map and having my sister following me.
My rig is not the problem, if that's what you wonder.

I can't remember if I asked this. Are there any plans to add interactions and relationship levels between NPC's?

Yes, but not in the immediate future. I want to complete all the different relationships for player-NPC first (with marriage being next) before transferring these to NPC-NPC

This game is ambitious as hell and I AM trying to give it the old college try but I feel like more people would flock to it (as they should) if the character models didn’t look like Robot Chicken dolls. It just makes it a little difficult to really dive in. Is this a limitation of the Engine or am I just utter trash with the customization screen?
