Unreal Engine Abandoned LifePlay [v2023.04 Stable] [Vinfamy]

[Ashgan9]

Is it intentional that running the game at really high speed doesn't give you events? maybe I'm wrong but I wanted to start over and kinda play it out, but still fast forward it to the point I was at last time, and when running at 25,000xRL it seems events don't pop almost ever compared to slower speeds.

Edit: side question, is there a way to gain attractiveness faster? I know of working out, the hair/skins treatments. mostly asking because it seems every other stat can be raised way, way faster.

Thought of an idea to help with condom thing.
1. if intelligence is 35 or less NPC is too dumb to think about using a condom, and they don't know how to use it right (more likely to break)
2. if intelligence is 65 or less and player charisma greater by 15 point they are more likely to believe you, if you "promise to pull out".
3. If drunk, more likely to not think about it using a condom.
4. "just the tip (tease)" then "force deeper"
5. If female fertility and [arousal] is greater than 90 (they want to make babies with you).

This seems reasonable.
Except #5:
1 - just because they are very aroused, doesn't mean they want to get pregnant.
(though, "Drunk with High Arousal, could negate what they "want, or care" )

2 - Perhaps, Vinfamy, could (or has already), created a stat, that certain,
(a % chance), females want to get pregnant, or have a "want-to-have-babies" fetish !?

3 - Fertility, hmmmm, kind-of-a-wildcard, here.
It shouldn't be a factor, as in, she wouldn't know how fertile she is.
( she just knows, (or doesn't , low-intelligence), by her cycle, when she's most likely to get pregnant )

But, if as in my #2, it could be used as a factor,( as a "high-fertility" pushes her fetish's desire ?) for that stat.


I'm currently still in version 3.5, so I've had no experience with what everyone is discussing.
But, since reading all these postings, I'll refrain from trying out this newest version.
Instead, I'll wait till the next version, that will have all the 'kink' & fetish (pregnancy), I'm interested in.
(hopefully, that won't be affected by this version's problem of " condoms-working-too-well" . a.k.a. "working-not-as-desired" by many currently playing)

Still, this seems to be a good base, if nothing else, to work from.

After reading the last few pages (and somewhat all the game discussion) I have a feeling there's a misunderstanding between the author and some of the most 'vocal' players. From what I've read the players play it 'the porn way' (like typical porn games), while the game leans to more 'realistic' way of life. Everything, from the clothes to the sex poses tends to look more ordinary than porn. With this in mind, the current condom mechanic blends in quite well. But as not everyone plays the game as 'lifesim with some spice', they can get upset. My suggestion is a flag in settings, call it something like 'porn play' or similar, which, if ticked, removes the restriction made for realism, so everyone's happy.

Now that's a good outside view!

So, by what your saying, we should look at this game more like a "Sims Daz 3D", than a "Porn Life Sim" ?!
or that's your interpretation of what the Dev was/is creating . . . . . hmmmm ?!

 

[Villenia]

I'd say it's a sim game with some elements of porn rather than porn game with some elements of sim And in sim meaning of the gameplay, condom mechanic works just fine. At least, I don't see anything wrong with it.

For now there is a function to call "setwantbabies(Bool)" or something similar, idk what it really does but sometimes the NPCs don't want condoms when set true (but not all the times i think).

 

[DarkSinfulMage]

[BUG] The Gym NTR event and/or the nighttime bed visit NTR event can change the hair/head of the partner selected.

There should be a pass on all events to make sure they are not doing the following things:

- Mismanaging a reference within the NPC list
- Accidentally overwriting or changing an existing NPC on the NPC list
- Mistaking one key relationship for another.
- Reference the player by accident or by corruption.

Right now these issues are peppered throughout the game among the base packages and they all need work.

I've noticed they happen less the faster the speed.

I mean, have you tried playing this game without doing any of the porn content, the "realistic" way? No one has that much porn plot stuff happen to them irl, I disagree its supposed to be realistic as you put it. Maybe more realistic than other porn games where people just go meeting and fucking, but I mean, cmon, its still mostly a porn game. And I'm only saying this because I've given a go on trying to play without fucking everything that shows up in front of me, and still got quite a few suggestions to kink stuff that I think is really unlikely to just happen like that in real life. Do I think condom mechanics snuff any fun out of the game? No, but I think that if you're aiming for realism as people are putting it, I'm more likely to believe people don't want to use condoms that often than the opposite.

And if I got what Vinfamy meant on his earlier posts (been following the game since it started), he wants the game to be played as people want it to, hence why its so moddable and we can just make our scenes if we feel like it.

Ashgan9 If I'm not mistaken, only a handful of events can happen if just skip time without doing any actions. When I just want time to pass fast I usually just let it play and let my character stand there doing nothing, rarely an event pops. If I do any action though, theres always some event popping up, and even if you do some action, if your game is too fast I think it wont have time to trigger some event before the action ends.

Better use the difference in attribute values rather than flat checks (if player charsima >= actor charisma)

Also, now that this pregnancy changes are in, what about the Better Pregnancy mod?
I want to use the chinese aphrodisiacs and rape drugs for the house parties, but I cannot withut it, and I don't know how it wil behave now.

 

[BeholdTheWizzard]

Speaking of issues - the Dungeon/Training mod has an issue where moving a slave to the harem makes them your girlfriend and gives them a house. Moving them back to the dungeon removes them from your contacts and doesn't remove the home. So if you move them back and forth, you now have a dozen homes on the map.

Wait for it to be updated, shouldn't be too long. I'm not using them for the same reasons and I'm still getting a few weird glitches in the game.

 

[Tigerman500]

This game is good at the moment but I feel like more should be fixed.

Theres not a lot of options left then. If I had more knowledge I could look on the files and see if I could spot what could be causing the problems but I've just started doing my own scenes, don't know a lot yet.

 

[MattShizzle]

I have that mos - I consider it necessary. I didn't see any conflict with it in 3.6, though I still went back to 3.5 due to the condom thing. But then some must be left as I was getting the pregnancy thing about being tired, not feeling good, etc for a male character, too.

I think that may be a thing with the main game, played a female character and these pregnancy events were popping like crazy. Have to wait and see what Vinfamy says.
