Update 17 April: Added RC2, allowing NPC to wear shoes and fixing a couple of minor bugs
Unreal Engine Abandoned LifePlay [v2023.04 Stable] [Vinfamy]
Cool, my mistake. Might be a good idea to remove the links in the OP to Yarla's various deleted contributions then?
OT: (omg what happened... all posts gone!!!)

Still on course for tomorrow release? Not intending to pressure, just curious. Don't want crunch or anything like that. Make the best game you can
Of course, RC2 will most likely turn into Beta 4 official release tomorrow.Still on course for tomorrow release? Not intending to pressure, just curious. Don't want crunch or anything like that. Make the best game you can
900 days and still does not get birth yet ? does she had a dinosaur in her belly ? cheeeeezzzzzzz LMAO
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDepending on NPC or PC you can use either player_gives_birth or NPC_gives_birth in the window opened by the "~" or "insert" key. Forever pregnant bug been around a while. I haven't seen lately so might be only in games where character got pregnant several updates back.
Yeah, links to things that were removed should be deleted. Is the "porn respects orientation" or whatever it's called in? Another thing - a lot of the rooms, including ones in porn are REALLY cluttered - to the point there's nowhere for a sex scene that they are not inside furniture. Worst is a red room with curtains and railings where you have to hold "s" for a while then "shift-s" to bring the characters there to a sort of stage. Then after you're outside the room of the building you were in.
Will do that when I have some time, hopefully next update. It's not really a bug (again, I wanted to demonstrate 'gay-for-pay- offers that can just be turned down) so it's not that urgent and it's sort of time-consuming to change because of the logic required for group sex gender mix.

You can alter pregnancy term lengths through editing their stats I think.. if not it's in the options menu. It might be a mod that's doing that for me though, like Better Pregnancy or another one like it.

Change Log:
- Fix many bugs that have been accumulating over the past two beta updates, with emphasis on the game-breaking ones like that one where people in your contacts randomly changing gender or appearance.
- Improve performance in terms of frames per second by optimizing the game's process of checking and applying AI packages happening in the background
- Improve performance in terms of smoother / more seamless gameplay and less and shorter freezes while the game is loading assets (furniture and clothes) or generating characters into the world, by putting some of the loading processes in the background using the multi-threading system added in Beta 1. For the loading processes that aren't thread-safe and can't be put away in the background, I'll try to change them to occur when the player doesn't feel the impact of the freezes at all or as much.
- All commissions (animations, maps and scenes) for April from patrons and contributors
- Other bug fixes and improvements
- Put simply, Beta 4 is just Beta 3 minus the bugs. It will also perform much better both in terms of FPS and less freezes from loading stuffs.

make your own mod, duplicating those scenes (with the longer timeout, or just empty files to disable the scenes completely) into your mod's folder. update won't touch your mod.

Initial thoughts after about an hour of playing of Beta 4:
- Note: I haven't played since Beta 1, I noticed pretty significant performance issues which made me not want to play for too long, opted to play legacy version until performance issues were addressed. I'm running this on a gaming desktop with Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 (8GB), AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor, and 32 GBs of RAM so there isn't much out there that will give me issues playing, so please take note of the obvious: results will vary for everyone.
- Performance: London is still pretty laggy on my setup, opted to play on the Central Bath map. Highly, highly recommend playing on Central Bath. Performance is incredibly smooth, map loaded quickly and actions were instantaneous. I don't have any custom maps installed as I opted to do a clean install (i.e. no mods installed except I took the age presets from LostLegends' set relationship V3 mod [great mod by the way, will install full mod later on]) I would avoid maps with a larger amount of activities/locations as they will bog down the game overall as actions will take longer and interior environments will load slowly. FPS on these maps even with PP, AA, and Shadow Quality at the lowest setting are low. I was able to play with full PP, AA, and Shadow Quality at its highest when playing the in the Central Bath map.
- Gameplay: I like the Sims-like approach with being able to interact with characters within the interior. Even including new actions such as introducing yourself, chatting, flirting, invite to hangout, offer a gift, etc. Seeing the PC interact with the environment is also pretty interesting and welcoming thing to see when comparing it to legacy versions.
- Bugs: Though I do still notice some bugs. For example, one of my first actions was to go to the bank and manage finances. After doing that action, I began to interact with an NPC and was interrupted by another event. During the event, the new NPC did not appear but the original NPC I was interacting with duplicated within the interior. Not game breaking but I didn't expect to see it. Another bug I noticed is that some stats will change after initially changing them. For example, I spawned in my sister, changed her appearance and stats. After changing them, I would go in to make sure they remained the same. The usual suspects that would change include the age (in stats) and last name and sexual preferences (in appearance).
- Overall thoughts: With the implementation of new mechanics shows that if played on a smaller map work very well. Still a few quirks here and there but overall I'm liking the direction the game is going. Looking forward to seeing the final beta update and what follows it.

The new updates kicks ass but as of now the Create NPC Relationship is broken with the new updates as it has multiple same characters! This is a great mod & hope it gets fixed when beta 5 gets done
"Pimp companion out" isn't working properly. It often has nothing happen and that shouldn't happen with the Pimp Your Girl mod. Even if nothing it should have "looks like nobody's interested" and that should be much more rare. It also takes very long for rooms to load, and even longer for people other than the PC and companion.
The whole point is the game isn't frozen while the room loads and an actor gets generated, you can take actions while the room is gradually loading in the background - don't have to sit there and wait, much better than freezing the game for a few seconds every time you change location.
Assets take time to load, loading time is mostly file size and hardware related. Optimizing loading is more to do with making loading the least disruptive possible.

This is more of a WIP than a bug. I haven't implemented dynamically getting current location's actors on screen for scenes yet so you get two copies of the same actor for now if a scene involving the actor triggers while the actor is already in the same room as you and original stats get saved again when you move location. This will be implemented in 3.0 Stable
On performance, note that each clothes and furniture asset only needs loading once per session (i.e. open LifePlay.exe) so the first 10-15 minutes of gameplay will perform less well than the rest. The performance improvement you've seen might not actually be from Central Bath (which should only affect FPS in map view, not really much impact on 3d location view), but from assets now loaded in memory,
