I tried Lifeplay about 18 months ago and quickly abandoned it. The visualization was just bad in my eyes.
The current LPv4.3 is a huge step forward compared to the previous version, but the real feel of the game only comes when you install some of the mods offered.

But this is apparently also the biggest problem for players.
In many cases, you get the feeling that the actions and scenes are not thought through to the end or are only installed if there are enough players and supporters who express this particular wish and then also get a large number of votes in a Patreon-supported selection process so that they are installed. As a normal user, it is difficult to recognize what would be considered an improvement of a scene or as new content that can/must be purchased.

The character beautification, which according to the changelog has been extensively reworked in the last versions, now brings really pretty models to the screen and the clothing has also received many improvements. Clipping errors still exist, but they have become rarer, so that you can now also combine different styles better. However, it's a shame that you can't color your clothes yourself when you buy them. Now to visit every store on the map, hoping to get the shoes that match the color and then hopefully have the matching attributes .... how about internet shopping as an alternative?

You can run your own clubs and stores. But again, unfortunately, it lacks some polish. Why can't I impose a uniform on my employees?
Why can't I buy fetish clothing outside of sex scenes, for example, to open a BDSM club.
I can put together outfits and save them. But here a better sorting would be desirable and also a rule when these outfits should be created. I have bought a set of office clothes, go to a job interview, but there I am then assigned a random outfit at short notice. It's a pity when you are then already asked out of the office at the greeting because you show up for the interview without a skirt.
Here it would be nice if you could compile several outfits and these could then be both actively selected, as well as in the scripted selection would be selected according to their tags.
So you could put together a pantsuit for the office or a pencil skirt and blouse and these outfits would be created optionally when you start a corresponding action.

The next point of criticism is the wardrobe.
One goes already for days with a more revealing outfit to the work, which disturbs nobody. Suddenly, a random event also triggers where a colleague warns you that this outfit might not be the right one, but the very next moment you are fired, even though you had some interactions with the boss before.
Either give one the opportunity to change, or the boss will issue a first warning. In case of repetition, you are threatened with dismissal. Or let's sweet-talk the boss into not being so strict about the dress code.

Well, unfortunately I don't know if this is enough as a suggestion for improvement or which option one would have to choose in order to submit these changes officially.

Thank you for the suggestions and I really appreciate it but after spending a lot of time I just did get done repairing the website and not in the mood right now to work on it some more. I never seen you log-in for we can talk. Probably due to it being down so long with me repairing it.
Your website was down. You can send me a PM here!
Anyway, what's the problem with your website.... database or css/html/php problems

first you make your own scences, the ones that come with the game are just examples, thus the open source comes in, clothes can be added to scenes that you make yourself, cuz thats the way the game is set up, and clothes can be colored easily, in settings there is a setting for clothing to change the color of all the clothing to what ever you want, using other ppl mods well theres a disclamer for that, and if you just download the game as it is there is no clothing clipping at all unless the breasts are really huge, and with the mods that are out there, 99% of them are out dated and are buggy,or dont work at all, as stated it is a Open Source, Free, and Moddable, which means that you make your own scences, what clothes to wear at what places, and what happens day to day with your character. so its up to you to make the game the way you want it to be,

Dude, you keep repeating this constantly, and to every new player, and doesn't helps to make the game better known since mods are actually an important aspect (as you said, it's an open source and that's part of the charm).
Which game version are you using?

Most mods are made from modders that regularly post here, and keep doing even more mods and updating them.
I'm using practically all of them, and unless there's a collision between specific content (and I made sure not to pick two mods that collide), I have absolutely no problems.
Maybe your version is too old? (because youkeep modfying constantly the files, you might have not bothered to update the game base?)

Can someone help me out? :(
Scenes are chosen at random if all of their conditions are met. The only way to increase the probability of a particular scene firing is to remove other scenes you don't want to see. If you only turn up the scene frequency in the settings, that will merely increase the likelihood of a scene firing in general.

@ straydogg
Thanks for the hint
I didn't look in the settings, because I assumed performance settings.
Some of my suggestions have therefore become superfluous.

**************************************************************************************************
Unfortunately, though, there are still some logic errors.
For example, I just set it up to go to jail. After a few weeks (with only one random event), unfortunately, an event (birth of my child) occurred that automatically took me from the prison to a clinic.
All my actions are stopped, I can't even go to sleep, because I am now in the office of the prison. I could play now standing at the desk the next 4.5 years in the fast run and put myself simply to sleep, if in the meantime my sister would not have also delivered and I get now each day a message that she has born a boy or a daughter. That now still 1,625 times to confirm is then too stupid for me and the score is deleted after almost 11 months including 175 days in prison.

Don't get me wrong, the game offers a lot of variety and you can play as a shy wallflower as well as a slut^10 and everything in between. But it's the dead ends like this that unfortunately ruin the gameplay experience.

Have in mind that LifepLay it's made by a single guy.
Consider the amount of work ONLY in the graphic aspect (which has been fully updated several times with all the work that implies).
Now consider the amount of work put into the system, the game doesn't uses a pre-made base as RPGmaker or has a base program like Ren'py.
Also, consider the amount of system variables, with all the data input from character stats, PLUS body variations, and combine it with the above system data. Insane.
And then, consider the amount of content, which has to be built with all the mentioned above.

So yes, the game has issues, dead ends, bugs, and more.
But it gets better as Vinfamy works polishing this and that. It's not possibly to expect a full working game like this fast, much less for free, AND player-friendly (since it can be modded relatively easy).

That being said... yeah, Prison is underwhelming.
Events take ages to trigger (might need a revision at some point). They do work, but the timer set is way too long.
There's not much content if you block specific content... after all, you know more or less what to expect in prison lol!
But the thing that bothers me more (events can be modified easily to trigger often), is the damned cell itself. It's so small that you can't see much of what happens, and you need to spin the camera constantly to get a simple angle...

so, I know this is probably hopeless but I screwed up. Have several characters, use different saves. so I was playing with my save 7 character and accidentally saved it on save 9, which is now overwritten. now the save 9 character and all my progress is gone (of course that was the char I had played the furthest in). is there any way to get it back? and before you ask my last copy of the save game folder was from before I created save 9 in the 1st place. also, the windows "file history" thing, apparently that has to be turned on manually and it never was before. there isn't like a hidden incremental save somewhere I can use to restore it, is there?

I don't like how small prison cell were. So I made a new prison. I converted the some bookshelves to look like bars & turn double beds to single ones. Even though I can't get the PC to sleep in the bed they do fuck on it quite easily.

Note: When placing more than one bed, the first bed you place is the preferred choice, thus why character always seem to fuck on middle bed.

The idea is good and would offer some new triggers.

It could also be used as a cell in a police station, more or less as a sobering-up cell and only with one, maximum two overnight stays.
That would allow a mixed workforce and contact with staff.

****************************************
Since we are on the subject of prison (and in memory of some more or less good movies).
Shower, laundry, yard, sports field, work in workshop or farm.
Strip search, more smuggling options, economic system (cigarettes or sex, 3 cigarettes for oral, 8 for vaginal, 10 for anal, phone call outside costs 1 cigarette per minute. Shampoo 3, luxury body lotion 15).

What would one have to do now to even have the right to such proposals?
I assume at least level 5, since it would be 6 places.
But what is the difference between scene and animation?
That I describe a scene, of course. For example, training with dumbbells in the yard. But there are already animations for that. Does it mean that I can suggest 6 scenes, but only three of them would be animated and the other three would be pure text messages?

Q: laundry, yard, sports field, work in workshop or farm.
A: Can't do that stuff. Would require a lot of hard coding to create action that changes room.

Q: Strip search & economic system
A: Could make a scene for that. And an action to trigger scene in prison.

Q: difference between scene and animation?
A: Scene is a script of instructions to PC and other actors.
Animation is something an actor or PC can do. Works best as actions but a few work in scenes.

Actor.animate(martialart) //actor swings arms like they are fighting a ghost

Actor.animate(yoga) //will only work if a yoga mat is in room.

Action bathe //actor will teleport to bathroom and if there is a bathtub in room sit in bathtub. Hard coded can't be changed. Does not work in scenes.

training with dumbbells in the yard// not possible. Would be text only scene.

Actually, only the first part of the message was intended for you. :ROFLMAO:

But let's take a normal daily routine in prison.
Get up, breakfast, work with lunch break, continue working, 1h community time (dining room or yard with TV, reading, sports), lockdown in cell until lights out.
Work in laundry or kitchen. That would be just a permanent activity (animation washing dishes is already present) as just the work itself, which is then possibly interrupted by intermediate sequences.
An intrusive guard/prisoner harasses you or another prisoner (choice whether to intervene or not).
You intervene and it may come to a fight (attributes/skills decide).
One receives reputation with the opponent (he has a gang in the back there is probably massive trouble, there were other prisoners who were harassed and now turn to one for protection (harem possible).

Just to continue this one basic idea sensibly, there would probably be three dozen variations. Accordingly, I just have a problem understanding what can be proposed and how extensive it can become to be feasible.
A developer does not work for free, that much is clear to me. But I also don't want to spend money now without knowing what I could expect after 6 months a 15€, because it would still depend on the outcome of various surveys on which part is currently being worked on.
Even if the jail would land 2x among the top, in the end only a half-finished product would stand there. Well, and the jail wouldn't be the only thing I'd have ideas for.

According to the Lp launcher, all the modules/mods are up to date but I don't recall it ever updating in months and months.
Is it even working?

I lost my saves once & pm Vinfamy it. And he told me there are 2 different saves. Appdata.local lifeplay which is the game saves,,,,, and lifeplay/content/modules/saves which is model saves. So I still had the models but not the game saves. Hope this helps....

vinfamy, you really should fix your npc ai or something ...so that it didn't do things like this ..its one of the main issue of this game.
also imo it needs to have a dialog box for the character to talk (above the character maybe?) not just empty text (and having it don't automatically make it a vn-like)
