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

[FartingRainbows]

This is a great game., I've spent almost 100 hours in it, and I would love this game even more if the save / load would load everything you modified.. but it doesn't. I've read (in this thread) that the saves are put into drive C:, not into the game folder.. so, my question is: Is there a tutorial on how to load the other half of your saves and explained like teaching a 10 yr old?
.
As it stands now, when loading a save -
- You no longer have your name. = you're defaulted back to John Smith.
- You're no longer the age you were. = you're defaulted back to 33.
- Your sexual orientation has reset back to loving the opposite sex only.
- Your body no longer looks like the HOURS of modifications you perfectly tweaked it to be. = you're defaulted back to generic look that you see at main menu upon game loadup.
- Many other personal details about you are gone.
- The family you added are totally missing, thus all their details are gone too.
- Strangely, you still have a partner (if you advanced that far) but partner is invisible, their details gone: name, age, etc. When partner appears (for a sex scene = 'Propose sex with partner'), all you see is a pile of clothes at your feet, words of what they say, and gushing cum.
- When asleep "You dream about having sex with your crush" .. open list to find nobody, not even NPCs you met on photoshoots, porn industry, passer-bys, neighbors, nobody, not even your landlord.
- All perks gone.
.
What the game does load however, and imo, is less important because it's much easier to gain back and more fun and fun to do again.
+ Your residence (whether renting or owned)
+ The furniture you bought and placed or sold.
+ The paint choice you chose for your furniture and bedroom walls, floor, ceiling.
+ Quests you've done.
+ Business' you've bought and renamed. = Although I feel the Dev needs to update the business choice menu by removing the choice to choose again if you like to take over business when you already have .. to first time players that are trying to make money (in game) could easily fall into the trap of buying business again not realising they already because default options stay in appearance AND highlighted to be chosen again and endlessly.
+ All your clothing and colors you changed them to.
+ many other little things not worth pointing.. just wanted to mention the big notes.

The thing I do to backup my character, is go to "edit appearance" then "save present", there is an option to "include actor stats" too. Makes it easy to recreate character if lost or starting over. Works for any other character. Not so good with kids though... that you will have to start over.

Hm, none of those bugs happen to me when loading a save... I initially thought you are not having sufficient read/write rights for the savegame folder, but since the rest of the save works fine - no clue.
Does the same happen with a completely new game started?

I've started many new games simply because loading loads only half of what I saved, thus continuing a 'broken' game is only half the fun? ..lol.. sorry, couldn't resist a little humor but really, in all reality, it's damn frustrating that I'm not alone on this issue - a week ago I probably easily spent 6+hrs looking thru the thread; wading thru 19 pages for a solution .. unfortunately there not just one answer on it ... I tried all I found but mostly to no avail.
There are 2 supposed ways to load the other half, but found only 1 way that partially works.
- The one way I don't understand is you save you and your family + others in the 'Save Preset Command' but I've found no tutorial on how to do that.
+ The one that "kinda" works is: right click > contacts > add npc > unlock all contacts (cheat) - upon then a list of names appear but the same name repeated (it's a random name that changes everytime you open game) - clicking on every (same) name then shows details of your saved contacts, like, who they are in relation to you, where they're living, and their correct sexual orientation - now, this is where the word "kinda" comes into it - what still doesn't load up is: their correct name, correct age, correct stats, correct original looks + body modifications.
= Sometimes I will go thru the pain-staking process of correcting all the missing information and modifications again if it was a short game to begin with when it was saved.. but when file goes longer than 48hrs (real time), time to kiss it goodbye and start all over again, because by then you've acquired so many contacts that you can't remember all of them: what they looked like and their details.

I've done that too, but didn't work for me, .. it's obvious now I have to write something in command box, but how do you use the command? .. Upon 'saving preset', a box appears for a command to be entered - what do I write in it.. can you give me an example, please?

found one girl with a 0.000016%

Yeah I hope this can be fixed soon, I can never find an NPC with more than 5% base fertility. Breeding parties are a real letdown because even with 100 PC fertility I can never seem to impregnate someone without adjusting their stats to a more reasonable level first (which you can't even do till you add them to contacts first), so there is really no point in going to them.

 

[FartingRainbows]

Is that all?! .. no special words or anything!? .. Man! I've done that numerous times and wrote all sorts of things, and it still doesn't bloody work!! ... Tonight I did a few more tests because I updated my game from v3.20 to v3.22 - I edited and modified 3 NPC's and my MC twice > saved their mods and stats into presets (each at a time of course) > exit the game > start game > load a save = again, uploads half of my save > then go to load my peset save characters = they're not there. The game is still not saving my personalized npc's and mc's.

There is a technical workaround I found if your ok with the fantasy races.
- Find the fantasy .txt's (Lifeplay\LifePlay\Content\Modules\vin_Base\Presets\fantasy), open the ones as desired and find the "///STATS" section
- Find then modify/add the line "STAT fertility_npc: 100% 20.0=>40.0" (this is mine for elves, goes between 20%-40% on generation), modify as desired.
- Now turn the spawns of Humans off in the game generation menu (As much as possible anyway. it might not be possible as I have yet to play around with it too much) and adjust the others as desired (5/1/4 for Elves/Orcs/Vampires for me right now lol).
- Have fun

p.s. This is just completely theoretical I haven't extensively tested or played around with this, but it APPEARED to be working with the setting I have so it should be fine.

Edit or override the file vin_Pregnancy/Stats/fertility_npc.lpstat to have a higher DEFAULT_VALUE.

I just finished reorganizing my collection of edits and tweaks. Each is organized as its own mod, so no overwriting original files. Each also has a readme describing the edits I made to the contained scenes.

EDIT: Git really wanted to tag these commits with my regular account! Protip: set GIT_COMMITTER_NAME and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variables when committing if you don't want to use your system-wide default.

Much appreciated - looking through these they're all great quality-of-life changes! If I might ask, how do you go about setting up mods to overrule original files? I've been wanting to change the probabilities of some events triggering, without having to constantly overwrite originals and then do so repeatedly with every update.

I just started the same Modpack yesterday for my game, because I'm mainly playing a trans and only have half the male scenes, before giving up halfway. I found that the events weren't written taking the game's capabilities in mind. There are too many scenes repeated rather than having a stat check, or written for a specific kind of character and without thinking about how the player's character will be.

The best example is the cms_cuck_dad (+ passive and impregnate). Those scenes don't work if the dad is trans(in the base game, greenpanzer modded them for that). The scene impregnate should be included with the usual impregnation chance and passive or not could be picked when the mother has a higher pervertedness than the player. Speaking about mother, there is no reason the scene should be limited to son + mother : you could do any combinaison and it would still work. Last thing, it doesn't take into account anything about sum/dom, dad divorces if he catches you, even if he's max sub and cucked on the regular.

I was willing to rewrite some scenes, but seeing so many thing wrong in the few I did, I gave up...

 

[H3ntaiMaster69]

Here's my second mod.
As promised I would implement plastic surgery, but as stand alone. Despite the fact that a few things are only accessible when PimpYourGirl is installed.

It's called: Beauty Expansion (Plastic Surgery)

This is a beta version at first, because there are a lot of model changes in it. Please test it and report bugs if you find.
This mod changes your 3d models when you do certain actions or do the plastic surgery!
Please use an extra save slot to make sure you can go back if you do sth you don't want!

This first version contains:
Improvements and additions to every beauty salon location on your map.
There you can now book different beauty treatments and also access the plastic surgery with some small story events.

New actions
1. Change hair color of your companion, also let her/him choose if she/he is dominant (will change stats + haircolor ingame)
2. Buy eyelash extensions for companion (will change stats + sets all lashes to maximum ingame)
3. Buy fake nails for companion (stat changes)
4. Book a beauty treatment for companion (will change stats + improve make up if not at maximum)
5. Buy waxing for your companion (will change stats + remove all body hair)
6. Buy a hair cut for your companion (stat changes)
7. Book teeth withening for companion (stat changes)
8. Ask your companion if she wants to do plastic surgery (highly stat based and only for female/trans / will change stats as well!)

The options for plastic surgery are: Lip injections, Face lifting for older npcs, Fat removal (in 2 levels), low profile boobjobs (B,C & D) and some DD options.
But as long your companion isn't a prostitute in PimpYourGirl or she is not really into you, it will be hard to convince her to do plastic surgery.

UPDATE 1.0
- Removed penalty for some rejects and fixed a bug with stat checks on Lipinjections

UPDATE 1.1

- Plastic surgery fixes for the entry checks

- Improved the templates a bit
- Removed all waiting times and adjusted the durations

UPDATE 1.2
- Bug fix for presets, before the game was using my presets to generate random chars
- Bug fix for companion name changes when doing a DD boobjob
- Bug fix for male companion scene
- Bug fix for nurse & doctors always having the same face
- Bug fix for nurse makeup (was always missing)
- Bug fix for hairstyle scene, where companion always choosed one hairstyle
- Improving the appearances of nurses & doctors and raising the ability to date them
- Improved the sequences for DD boobjob, face lifting and fat removal with more content
- Added real long 3d nails for fake nails option
- Added different makeups, companion will also choose how strong the makeup is depending on her stats
- Changed and added some of boob designs (Now A, B, C, D, DD & Monster)
- Added the option to remove breast implants

- Added support for coming mods

UPDATE 1.3
- In this update contains only text and dialog changes. Proof reading done by ZTex (Thanks again!)

Check the picture, these changes are made through the mod without opening the appearance menu or using cheats!

INSTALL:
Download and extract the mod into Content/Modules
Make sure you don't leave an extra directory level for the mod, meaning:
For Better Pregnancy for example, it should go like this:
Modules/sb_BetterPregnancy/sb_BetterPregnancy.lpmod
and NOT
Modules/sb_BetterPregnancy_v1_3/sb_BetterPregnancy/sb_BetterPregnancy.lpmod
(If this is the case after you extract the mod, you need to move the sb_BetterPregnancy folder out to
Content/Modules and delete the (now empty) sb_BetterPregnancy_v1_3 folder)
After this, make sure the mod is active in the Mod Manager.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE DELETE THE OLD MOD FILES BEFORE INSTALL AN UPDATE!
OTHERWISE SOME FIXES WILL NOT WORK!

Have fun!

MY OTHER MODS:
PIMP YOUR GIRL BEAUTY EXPANSION BETTER PREGNANCY PARTY & NIGHTLIFE
THE NEW GOODBYE NO MORE YOUTUBE WEIGHT & FITNESS

Can you use plastic surgery for your main character or is it just for your companions?

 

[Problem X]

I've been wanting to change the probabilities of some events triggering, without having to constantly overwrite originals and then do so repeatedly with every update.

When you enable the mods in-game, make sure Vinfamy's mods are at the top, so they load first. Any mod that comes after that contains a file with the same name will replace the original in memory. If you then download and apply an update, modded scenes will continue to use the modded version. That's exactly why I packaged the tweaks I was making as a mod - to avoid juggling edited files when applying updates.

I found it easier to start with small changes, gradually doing more as I got more comfortable. It helps that a lot of benefit comes from simply changing X.isMale() to !X.isFemale() and Y.isFemale() to !Y.isMale(). I'm still shying away from changes that involve significant original writing, cuz I know I'm weak there.

Just your companions.
