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

[Villenia]

I had to put more memory to the Linux before it worked. Now im stuck with making LifePlay.sh playable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How make LifePlay.sh executable:
In terminal:
1) Open a terminal window
2) cd to LifePlay directory (e.g. cd /home/m/Downloads/LifePlay_2_14_Linux/)
3) chmod +x LifePlay.sh
4) Run LifePlay.sh

:~$ cd /home/m/Downloads/LifePlay_3_13_Linux/
-bash: cd: /home/m/Downloads/LifePlay_3_13_Linux/: No such file or directory

:~$ cd /home/m/Downloads/LifePlay_3_13_Linux.7z
-bash: cd: /home/m/Downloads/LifePlay_3_13_Linux.7z: No such file or directory
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not getting past 2) and already have no idea what i should do with 3)..

You shall input correct path to your file, not just copy the example path from the instruction. But before you dig deeper into Linux, check your hardware. Since you bought a Chromebook, it might not have the videocard able to run the game. When I used to have Linux on my laptop, the game always tried to use the integrated Intel videocard. The game worked, but as the integrated videocard was not able to utilize OpenGl 4 or 5, the game was basically unplayable with chequered skin textures (not to mention low framerates). I had to manually made the game using the discrete Nvidia card by -primusrun command in LifePlay.sh

So, first check the videocard. Most chromebooks have only integrated ones, if your chromebook is like that, you'd better not waste your time trying.

I think the comment hasn't received much attention because we'll probably never know whether it was just bad luck that Patreon happened to do their job efficiently for once, or if someone grassed the game up out of spite. Personally I believe that one of those scenarios is much more likely than the other, but either way the end result is the same. Fortunately, Lifeplay lives and goes on, which is what really matters.

Well I certainly agree that either scenario is possible. And believe me, I am an extreme cynic, so its despite my own nature to feel this way for a change. But in this case I just happen to wonder why without proof the majority of posters seem to be jumping to the conclusion that a mysterious anon boogeyman was responsible. It would be different if someone was trolling him for weeks about how immoral his content was, or something. Then even without concrete proof, suspicion would rightly fall on said person.

It's no surprise to me either that the cut content will be unofficially supported through alternative channels here, and it really shouldn't come to the surprise of many who post here either.. So aside from just generally making things inconvenient for everyone, assuming said boogeyman does exist, he'd have effectively failed at his mission.

Its a moot point anyway. As you mentioned, development continues and I'm sure that's something we're all grateful for. Vinfamy's been a top notch dev, and incredibly reliable with his updates. Its great to see such diverse updates coming regularly.

Does anyone know if there is a command/function permitting to add by code a tag on a NPC? (like we can do in the contacts UI)

Hello guys, i'm playing with a MALE PNC and got in relationship with his sister and living in the same house with another twin sister and a mother, the question is when getting in relationship with the sister why she does not live in the same house anymore ?

Hello guys, i'm playing with a MALE PNC and got in relationship with his sister and living in the same house with another twin sister and a mother, the question is when getting in relationship with the sister why she does not live in the same house anymore ?

what happens "in the code" is that the family member is copied then deleted so to remove them from "relationship group" and to move them into "other NPC group".
As a result they are moved out as well. Also not considered "family" so it no longer triggers family/incest events.
My guess is the you can't change their title to girl-friend/wife if they are in family group because of some error/issues??

Why I never date family.

Maybe one day people who intend to make non-vanilla content will learn not to bother with Patreon.

It is a moot point, but it may be worth revisiting just for the hell of it.

So, while there is no absolute evidence to prove one theory over the other, I think that some people witnessed the kink shaming, both here and on the Patreon site. Then they witnessed the dev saying that he had a personal liking for one of the subjects that was being shamed and asking for such behavior to stop. Then they witnessed the game coming to the attention of Patreon mods just a few days after that appeal was made. For those people, this chain of events - combined with the knowledge that this game has had non compliment content for a long time through multiple updates, and that Patreon relies on informants as much as it relies on it's algorithm to search out such content - provided enough 'evidence' that this was more to do with foul play than just bad luck.

But, moot point aside, I'm pleased that the 'mysterious modder' has found a way that allows the now banned content to exist, and I hope that the dev will continue to be supported on Patreon so that this excellent, free-to-play game can live on.

Some long standing bugs:

1. When you add clothing to NPC's inventory, MC is naked.
2. STILL spawning sex scenes usually on the edge/corner, not middle
3. Camera when switchhing to sex scene rotates/moves forward

 

[Grim]

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

 

[Grim]

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.

 

[Strec]

Really, would it be that hard to have a "no condoms" setting in settings?

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.

 

[MattShizzle]

There is one. Is your version up to date?

Not for when it's NPCs.

 

[MattShizzle]

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
