Ohmy, thats promising! I'm frequenting only the Skyrim parts of that territory but this is probable the best recommendation if someone is credited as a best user on LoverLab when if comes to lewdmods and stuff :)
A fellow cultist! :D

So this is basically a PornSims?
I have a few Skyrim mods too (SexLab Kidnapped, SexLab Drunk and Dovahkiin's Infamy) but I came late to that scene (Dec 2015). I'm probably mostly known for my Fallout 4 mods and SexLab Light for Skyrim Special Edition.

My initial concept for this was 'A free, open-source and moddable The Sims with sex, dialogues and real world cities'

- UI is super hard to operate, especially the RMB for the actions menu
- Map rotation needed
- The models and morphs are too low poly for a porn game
- Boob physics?

Are you planning on adding anything BDSM related? clothing/game mechanics wise?
You meant LMB for actions menu? Or do you mean RMB for the action menu during sex. The latter isn't hard at all, no, you just click anywhere? The former is more to do with the fact that buildings are located very close to each other in the map (true to real world data) so if you're trying to pick a small building (like a newsagent or a public bathroom), it can take a while to get what you want. That's why I allow the players to favorite things and then open the action menu directly with them by right clicking on the player portrait.

You can rotate the map (and the sex scene) by holding Alt / Middle mouse button while moving the mouse.

The thing with poly count is that I have to think about those without gaming PCs too. Especially when I add things like orgy to the game. Boob physics is possible

BDSM won't be for a while I don't think - partly because I'm personally not into BDSM too much. Unless the BDSM gang over at LoversLab offers to help.

Try to download the Mega (ZIP) file instead and extract that. I suspect it has something to do with 7zip version incompatibility.

@Thunderbird67 Unfortunately, unlike Unity, Unreal doesn't have a 'one-click' "Package for Mac" option. It's a lot more complicated than that. Plus the fact that I don't personally own a Mac device doesn't help. Although I have all my sources publicly available on Github so if anyone wants to give it a shot of a Mac conversion, it would be much appreciated.

Just one question, what is the point with all the work on a game like this when graphics looks awful? No matter how great story or gameplay these kind of graphics would never arouse any normal person :(

Compared to?
If you're comparing it to games with still 3d renders made with Daz 3d (Dreams of Desire, Big Brother, etc), it's not really a fair comparison. Those still renders take minutes (even hours) to render just one. In a live 3d animated game like this, the game is trying to render 30 - 60 images per second.
As far as I'm aware, the only other decent realtime-rendered 3d animated indie adult game is the Twist. And the characters there look a lot less detailed than this even.
Or if you're looking for a 3d animated game with photo realistic characters, you're going into AAA territory here. I haven't got a spare few $ million and 100 guys working for me to do that. That, and, that game would take a proper gaming PC to run, which means I have to exclude everyone else who is just playing adult game casually and not a serious gamer otherwise.
I'll probably improve textures and models here and there, but it's an indie game after all, let's keep expectations realistic here.
Btw, I'm pretty sure you don't represent all 'normal people'. By your logic, nobody plays text games ever.

@bfor147 Hmm, apparently according to the Unreal Engine forums, there have been users reporting crash issues with certain AMD cards too and the issues remain inconclusive. Maybe last thing to try would be to disable your anti-virus and try again. If that doesn't work still, I have no idea, must be the AMD thing. I'll need to ask an Unreal Engine engineer then.

I have a backlog of games I want to try right now, so I doubt I'll get to this one soon. Just to add to what a couple of other users have noted, I don't find the models, at least in the spoiler pictures, to be attractive at all. It's not just a matter of level of detail; as you noted, the Twist has perhaps less detailed models, but I find them to be more attractive. Just my two cents' worth. Thanks for posting!

Note that the models in this game aren't fixed at all (like The Twist). You can tailor make your character's and any NPC's face and body to your heart's desires. For the screenshots I basically hit 'Randomize' twice to save time. If you want to spend time on the character customization fine tuning all the details, you can probably come up with your dream girl.

Before I start playing, I'm just going to go ahead and throw in a request for a few cities:
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA (I'd love you forever if you did a scene or something inside of PPG Paints Arena during hockey season.)
Anaheim, California, USA
Detroit, Michigan, USA
Charleston, West Virginia,USA

Thanks in advance, @Vinfamy!!!

heh, sure i am ^^. who isn't? but i almost never wrote anything there. just helped a few people getting their mods to work or so. when you know how to mod fallout 3 with FOSE and also know how to successfully mod skyrim with MO you can mod basically every game ;D.

ps: more nasty critters ftw!

The GUI for the character picture overlaps the quick-menu options for me, is there a fix for this?

Does Changing the map have any effect on the ppl, like lets say I pick Hong Kong, would it be mixed or all Chinese, hope this doesn't sound offensive or anything just curious about the details of the games map and ppl.

Hi Vinfamy, love your mods for Fallout and so will definitely give this a go. :)
Thank you :)

That's deliberate though, no? You right click on the character face > shortcut menu pops up > you select a shortcut > camera moves to that building . If you decide to close the menu prematurely, just right click anywhere outside the character face.

Does Changing the map have any effect on the ppl, like lets say I pick Hong Kong, would it be mixed or all Chinese, hope this doesn't sound offensive or anything just curious about the details of the games map and ppl.
Yes, of course the race of the people will be based on the map. The data for each city actually includes data about the majority ethnicity of that city and the % of that majority ethnicity. Everyone else is random (to account for minorities and expats). For Hong Kong, I think it's ~90% chance of east asian looking person, and 10% everyone else. Cities like London, NYC and San Jose are obviously more diverse.

Haha, why would your question be offensive to anyone? :)

One has to see this for what it is to realize the potential here. This is a working framework for a pornSims indeed but with every aspect moddable, whole different games could be built upon this! A fully working sandbox engine with a working character generator like in Fallout ot Skyrim. This is something amazing. Never seens something quite like this before. Its almost as if i see a new engine beside Unity for sandbox porngames introduced here! Just much more geared toward adult gaming as well!
SexLabFramework hasn't done as much to Skyrim as this could do to porngames! Of coursenot, thats just a framework. This is a fully working engine+framework here. Astonishing really. Of course the downside that it is an engine :) It requires learning this engine while most Devs learn Unity. Buuut obviously every engine has to start somewhere, comes from nowhere at first.

But just a quick glance is enough that this is waaay superior to Unity if we are talking about sandboxing. I mean check the map guys! Its huuuge, with thousands of locations that all can be utilizied!
