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

4. Characters fall under the map sometimes
5. Intermittent memory leak when loading a save in-game
6. Changing clothes sometimes causes the room to change to that of whatever previous location you were at. Example: Going from the office to the gym; changing clothes at the gym will then make it look like you are back at the office until you complete an action, after which it'll update to the correct room
7. Companions will always think you've been in the same location for hours if you save while with them and then reload that save, regardless of whether it's actually true
8. A lot of clothing clips with other clothing like shirts with pants, or with the body itself depending on slider values.
9. The buttons on some of the shirts look like they've exploded off the shirt, and are just floating in front of it no longer attached
10. Not a long standing bug, but with the addition of the new sex mechanics, I've noticed random people outside of sex scenes will sometimes have sex-related text appear over their heads, such as the text about wanting to go faster

Adding these as a new post so that the additions aren't missed

11. Game state isn't entirely cleared/updated when loading previous saves in-game. Action timeouts are an example of this. If you perform an action which has a timeout, and then load a save from before performing the action, the action will remain timed out. Conversely, exiting the game clears all timeouts, so if you perform an action, save, and then exit the game, the next time you start the game and load the save, you'll be able to perform the same action again.
12. Certain scenes like the office job interview and enrolling as a student/teacher seem to require that you own specific clothing, with business attire (business shirt, business pants, loafers) being required for those examples, and if you don't own any or are missing certain pieces, then you just end up in the scene with missing clothing/naked. Similarly, the game doesn't always start you off with loafers, so if you do the job interview or join university before buying any, you will end up doing the interview or meeting people at the reception while barefoot
13. The cooking skill seems to have very little impact on how much of a complete meal you produce when cooking. Even with a cooking skill of 100, if you're playing on a high difficulty you'll still end up only producing like half a meal
14. On higher difficulties, it's next to impossible to gain muscle, or even maintain it. The amount that it decreases each day is greater than the amount you gain even if you lift weights at the gym every day

Really getting sick of the condoms all the time for NPC sex. Really, would it be that hard to have a "no condoms" setting in settings? Sick to the point of disgust as it is way too often. Especially in porn/prostitution. Pimp can order not to and there are no condoms in porn - at least not the kind anyone wants to watch.

There is one. Is your version up to date?

 

[kurosx]

That applies only for the player character. He is talking about NPCs.
And in this, he's right. I would turn off that setting too.

Not for when it's NPCs.

15. When you try to edit an NPC's appearance, sometimes they walk away and sit somewhere so you can't see well enough and have to switch to someone else and back. They should stay there when it's in the contacts menu.

 

[MattShizzle]

Also, there really needs to be a way for when you add clothing to an NPC's inventory it blocks any other clothing from being worn by them other than what is in, otherwise what is the point? Prostitutes and porn stars shouldn't be wearing sweaters, granny dresses or business fart shit. Adding to inventory should mean something not just a CHANCE they could get that as that could happen anyway.

 

[MattShizzle]

Another idea - add gangbang to the possiblility when whoring out. 3 or 4 others and ONLY opposite sex.

 

[MattShizzle]

I tried to add based on what was there but it didn't work. Tried to turn 2 to 3. Needs to be 3 or 4 for gangbang.

I know Vinfamy posts here whenever there's an update, but I'm curious whether he actually reads through the thread or if the ideas and bug reports posted here are basically being thrown into a void

For the people who don't like the new npc sex behavior... like me.
Here is a semi-fix to stop the position switching of the npc.

Go to LifePlay\LifePlay\Content\Modules\vin_Base\Stats\Longterm -> masochist.lpstat

There you will find the Line:

PLAYER_ONLY: false

Change the (false) to -> true

After that it doesn't matter if you have masochistic -100 or 100,
the npc's will now always "ask" to change the sex position... but they will "never" do it, as long as you don't say "yes" to them.
I have tested it only a bit so i hope it works, but from the test there was no npc able to change the position.

This "fix" works only for consensual sex, for non-con i haven't found a solution.
Also, you will never see scenes where the npc/actor need a masochist value.

If anyone have a better workaround for this system or a way to remove this AI, please let me know it.

NPC to NPC impregnation isn't working. When I ask someone to knock up my wife, it says she's pregnant and she has given birth, but there's no new son or daughter. Also, when an NPC impregnates another NPC, it just says that she is pregnant, but her belly doesn't show, and never gives birth.

For now it seems patreons mainly want some more pixels and I doubt you will have any debugging or gameplay correction for a long, long time.

I think it's fine if new stuff is added each month, but I don't think bug fixes should take a backseat. Changelogs never seem to mention any fixes, so I can't tell if things are being fixed simultaneously or not. There's certainly several bugs that have remained unfixed for a while now

I disagree with that, at least in the case of Lifeplay for now, because the result is some sort of thing with many features and none really useable, causing all modder to stop working on it.

There is a lot of work to transform this to a game from a sex scene generator and adding features is like wearing a pant on a wood leg.

I definitely agree that it's a bad idea to continue to add onto a shaky foundation. Given that all of the Patreon tiers are about commissioning new content though, I'm not sure people would pledge anything for months when nothing is being added. It's definitely a difficult balancing act for a lone developer.

Also, I can't enjoy this game because after every scene, I get the unlucky message. I started playing because of the pregnancy content, yet I haven't seen any since updating the game.

Try boosting the fertility value of you and your partner

Look at the last (34.1) changelog for LabRats 2 and see

Updating on a regular basis is a good thing when you works with patreons model but only if the basic product is correctly working.
