yes start with a small city, the city makes no difference to the game, you wont see almost any of it anyway.
Mods. start with No mods, most of the mods are outdated and will introduce bugs to the main game, best learn how to play it first.

Hey Apo_Icarus, I ended up having to fully reinstall LP without having my "scenes but with changed conditions/timeouts" backups on hand - and instead of continuing to do that jankily each update (and end up overwriting any edits to scenes that might have come along), I remembered that you put together a mod that would do that instead. I can't seem to find the post, though - don't suppose you have it to hand?

https://f95zone.to/threads/lifeplay-v3-8-vinfamy.11321/page-300#post-3465823 There you go. It's old but should still work, I should probably update it.

Failing that for ANYONE who wants to change the scenes download Notepad ++, go into lifeplay/content/modules and find the scenes, if you right click on a scene you should get an option to 'open with notepad +'. from there it's just changing numbers around, or changing the text. I'll post a guide below:

Vinfamy my good old chum, if it may not be too much trouble might this be linked under the 'spoilers' on the main page, for those that may wish to get into changing things about? Hurrah and cheerio mate. :)

Problem with small cities is if you don't do the thing to make random buildings into something you can use there won't be a lot of things.

Sorry but Modding could really do with some TLC. Stat management etc is fine but scenes are just dead.
I can put work into backgrounds, I can make npc's and try to set a scene up to tell a story.
But at the end of the day I just get npc's randomly walking around the scene I made doing nonsensical stuff.
Without the ability to pose and hopefully animate things, the graphics are mostly pointless.
If anything they detract from what I am trying to do.
If you take my landlord mod as an example, you show a potential tenant around an apartment. You go in the main room the tenant starts having a meal, you show them the bathroom they spay on deodorant, the bedroom they go to sleep.
It's just random actions that actual break the story I am trying and tell.
I dont want to sound negative, but it's just so infuriating close to being something extremly good, but currently we dont have the tools to do the job properly.
Let me show the story I am telling, Let me control the actions, you have the reasources, poses and animations, let's use them!
Simple markers in rooms, that we can place when building a room, could be used to set actor's to specific locations.
An lpscene command to run an animation on a specific npc, would mean I could show an actual story, instead of having to type it and make believe.

Anyone know where the clothing options have been going? I only have the base 3.8 version and yet every new game I make the clothes seem to lessen. I don't even have the shoe options now :( I haven't discarded any of the clothings.

Sound like you are missing some save data - in particular the *.lpcharacter files that should be saved to the ~/LifePlay/Content/Saves/1/Characters/ folder (replace 1 with save slot used).

Probably a permissions issue on your operating system - assuming it's windows try moving the LifePlay folder outside of the Progam Files folder (good) or running the game with Admin rights (dodgy but should work).

Is there a way to increase the chance of having twins/triplets, or is it at random? Because I have been impregnating women like crazy, and no luck.

it looks like i dont have a /Saves/ file? should i make a new one and put it in there?

also how do you run lifeplay as administrator(im right clicking it but i dont see that option)
