Hey, Vinfamy. I've been following LifePlay since just before the 3.0 update and I must say you've done an amazing job with the content updates since I've been playing. The game certainly has plenty of room to grow, but it's nice to see a dev who sticks to a regular release schedule.
I was wondering if there is/could be a way to create custom dialogue - specifically sex related dialogue (random event triggers or the like could be just as interesting in the big picture) which is tailored to individual characters? I did a thread search, but the only thing I came up with was a post from 2018 about how to edit/add (what appeared to be shared) sex dialogue.
Fairly certain that almost everyone who plays has one or two specific 'type's of partner that they prefer, even if they are actively getting around with anyone and everyone. But after playing for a long time, we meet a lot of contacts and many of them tend to share the same traits. I can be fairly invested in this game, but after taking a break for a few weeks or whathaveyou, it's very hard to remember who is who out of dozens of contacts aside from the handful of favorites. At some point, after meeting 6 flat chested emo goths, curvy redhead submissives, etc, I wonder if I'm the only one who has the occasional "Which one were you again?" moment. XD
It seems like one of LifePlay's strongest points is the ability to manage multiple relationships/contacts. At some point, though, (at least for me) it begins to feel as if every encounter is too similar. And the limitation seems to be the variety of options available. That's not to say that there aren't already many, but..
- If it was possible to have a npc recognize you with their specific pet name for you, whatever it may be (daddy, muffin, sweetheart, etc)
- Just like you've done with pregnancy update's contraception request idea, if npcs could be assigned sexual preferences, they could potentially request certain actions or positions to suit their preferences during sex. Or at the very least, if npcs could be assigned their own personal lptalk packs/ it made modular so that some broad categories could be covered easily through editing ("Likes Oral"/"Likes spooning"/"Likes rough positions" just as examples)
I feel those would be great starts to creating the illusion of npcs with more individual personalities and quirks.
Unsure if this is possible in the scope of the game at the moment, or if it could be accomplished through mods. Or perhaps I missed something entirely and there already is something similar. (If so, oops!)
