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

[Deleted member 1017199]

depends on your specs, mine runs fine

Awesome thanks. I've got a decent machine but from hearsay and personal experience UE games are often terribly optimized.

so, as to the 1st. Gay people exist, get over it. and while the description on NPCs respect Orientation says it's like walking around with your sexual orientation on your forehead the fact is it is NOT on your forehead. Therefore just like in real life it is possible a person of your gender will find you attractive and act on it, shit happens. as the modder said, turn them down if it pops rather than demanding that no gay NPCs exist AT ALL. I mean what the hell, the game is loaded with 3-some and gangbang content where you WILL end up in sexual content with men, some of the positions force it. Not only that, there's a repeatable quest to make female/trans NPCs become lesbian/bi and I don't see anyone bitching about that despite it being same sex content. Actually kinda wondering why there isn't a reverse option to turn males gay to be honest.

Just for the record, I'm not bitching about gay content!

Agreed on everything.
Even if you DO have a sexual orientation sign on your forehead, gays might still try it (I have my fair share of experience on this regard lol). The scene probably aims to that.
A gay character approaches yours, and you have the option to turn the offer down, or be curious. Simple.
Want your perfect world? delete the scene, even simplier!

as to the 2nd, I see where Vin's going with the Old-young thing as it looks like moving the needle in either direction will eventually influence the generation of NPCs in accordance with MC preferences, although as I can't see it in action since I rarely play male MCs I don't know the scenes/choices that will move the needle, but it's clearly going to be something like the Sub/Dom stat in action. in other words the more old people you sleep with the more old people you'll GET to sleep with. as to younger it will be less obvious, most of us play MCs that are fairly young and with the 18 soft cap (I've had an NPC show up that was shown as 17 once but I didn't get to see what happened with it as that was a save that got corrupted by an update) how much younger can they really go with the generated NPCs? and no, I'm not expecting Loli content to be added as it's too close to kiddie content and that's just a big red flag to any authorities that may monitor content.

Hum, I don't think the game gives you more of what you want.
I play a sub, and the doms don't appear more often.
The sub-dom stat is taken into account to decide the actions during sex, and this "new" stat seems to be geared towards initial attraction, more like gender/sex attraction (example, a NPC that likes females, won't give you her/his phone if you're male or trans), and if they want to initiate a relationship. It could be handled by perversion, like sex poses or bestiality *shrug*

is it possible to make a horse follow you around as a non companion in a non sexual way.
I want to make a mod where a horse follows you around and comments on it's surroundings what is sees and what you do with snarky, rude and ackward comments.

it has to be the horse as humanoids would just be stalkers and the dog is to meeeh/boring. it also key that the horse do not get any eeeeh funny ideas with you or your companions.

edit : i see a 3rd problem, can an actor talk with out pausing the game

I would pay for that mod ))) Horse power!!!!

 

[Deadmeataru]

yeah, I didn't mean you Fuzz, you were just last in line at that point of the conversational thread. but as to old/young, what I meant was like a gauge where dead center is even, your actions cumulatively (although lets face it, most people will just edit the stat) will have an effect on the "NPC interest" (initial attraction, possibly rapport as well) in this case. you're right, I doubt it will affect the mean age of RNG NPCs (although I haven't read the code, it certainly could be done) but it may tie initial attraction. and his release notes clearly indicate that those generated by your lover(s) WILL be affected from Vin's comment about their "unusually attractive parents"/grands, etc. although TBH I haven't had ugly ones pop yet even before the module. and I'm not running it ATM because I'm playing female/trans MCs. if Vin throws a bugfix in the next update I may try it, I certainly add MILF relatives because I like that kind of content. so in that respect it's like sub/dom, yes perversion COULD handle it but giving it its own stat makes it more focused.

Oh, on that note, we need to add a relationship to the NPC thing for niece/nephew for the incest triggers. after all, RL that's still close enough to set the authorities off so I think it counts.

 

[Deadmeataru]

Give it to me straight guys will this Unreal game melt my machine?

it won't melt it but even on a GOOD machine i would still expect frustrations. I'm about to run my comp through the dishwasher the next time it adds a hat to my MC, making me bald and RUINING the look of the outfit I had set on MC

Sounds like a glitch in the game's programming if that's the case then even the world's most powerful computer would probably not be safe from unexpected hats

Well it is a UE game.

Just unthinkable power consumption. The system chassis is clean, there is no dust in it, I check it every two weeks. But it heats up like a heating battery in wintertime. Despite the fact that when I launch Fallout 4 in UHD quality, the temperature in it does not rise above 42-45 degrees Celsius. In the case of this game, the stable indicator is 80-85 degrees. System configuration: CPU i5-7500, 32 Gb. RAM, Geforce GTX 1660 Ti.OS: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC v. 1809 (2019) x64.

 

[jabberwockyjon]

This game has been great fun for me so far. I play a male into male+trans. I need to learn this a little better so I can create/alter existing porn scenes so the gangbang scene, for example, would be focused on me and not the woman in the group.

It's really been running rock solid on my machine. I think I had one crash at game loading, nothing since. 8600k, 16GB, 1080ti. AIO on the CPU. Runs fine on my AMD machine with a 1080ti also.

 

[againsthaters]

The majority of the threads in this commentary section of this game are extremely funny and kind of frustrating.
Then when it comes to the game that is obviously LGBTQAI + (because of its description), it makes sense that there will be no option to avoid that, with this option of answers that allow avoid gay content, the dev is doing a huge favor to straight people. - and therefore it is disappointing and aberrant to see certain comments.
Respect for others and for their work, do you know what that means? - especially in this profession in which we have to invest all our passion, then without it nothing can work.

 

[againsthaters]

Personally, I find this game very enjoyable, and from a certain point it even becomes addicting.
When I discovered certain things, it became impossible for me to stop creating ... (lots of very diverse things, places and relationships) - it's crazy how much we can do in this game!
(it almost looks like the giant metaverse SecondLife ... - platform of multiple worlds, multiple games and also virtual worlds, almost to infinity = at the moment SecondLife has become an infinity of universes/at a loss view, a lifetime is no longer enough time to explore everything, and above all, in some worlds/sim/land everything without exception is allowed)

Major improvement can be had by playing a smaller map. London (the default) is by far one of the largest. Try instead Bath (really only a medium sized) also included by default. Or download an even smaller map of your choice, although it may be necessary to 'randomise unknown buildings' when selecting the map if it is not properly populated. Also selecting the 'classic map graphics' option when setting up the map greatly reduces the load on the GPU.

Who's good at making rooms? I've got one that I've been working on but it's got an annoying issue where when the room and character initially loads the character falls through the floor. I suspect that the AI is trying to move the character to a space that's already occupied by an object.

Not really sure how to solve this other than making the room unrealistically big so the character doesn't spawn/move inside of something. For scenes I can just specify specific coordinates to spawn, but this is meant as a replacement for a base game room, so there's no way I can specify where to spawn if I'm just moving to that building type from the map

, View attachment Bedrooms.7z these are rooms that i use, pick and choose, or not, by the way like ur redress and home assingnment mods, they work quite well, with small bugs, if you have changed your own house toor added to it or removed the players house will go bac to default aand all changes that you do disappear, no biggie, all my bedrooms are redone so that bug is no longer a issue, i enjoy both mods, and find it is easier to control your companions as they are now in houses instead of a list, and you add the name of the ppl in that house, and favorite it and now the map shows where they live, and u just click the fave home and go i have had 35 different ppl or couples in thier own houses, sometimes you do lose all the favorites but you can show all places by clicking tab i think, but other than that, i enjoy looking at the map and going to a friends home or lovers by just clicking a home icon on the map these are Base bedrooms, so vinBase Bedrooms,

Ah I'm actually making some rooms for another mod I'm working on, so I don't want to just take other people's creations and include them in my mod. I appreciate the offer though.

if you have changed your own house toor added to it or removed the players house will go bac to default aand all changes that you do disappear

Sounds like the known issue I mentioned in the mod post. Nothing I can do about it currently which is why I recommended having a saved preset of your bedroom before moving anybody into houses. The way the mod works under the hood is it temporarily switches your home to the one you want to move somebody into, adds them as your neighbor, and then switches your home back to the original. That's why your bedroom gets reset. It resets whenever you switch homes.

and favorite it and now the map shows where they live

I might be able to automate that as part of the mod. I didn't think of it at the time. I'll play around with it.

Takes forever to load on my old laptop. Why wasn't I born to rich parents jesus its so bad being poor and horny

It takes forever to load on a normal PC too. It needs more optimization.

The same can be said to probably every game on here made in UE. Kinda makes you think if its really the engine's fault or the developers' why their games are so poorly unoptimized

 

[ihutch]

Yes I only ever play Bath map, and i have read the information so i have used "Randomize Unknown Buildings" and ensured there is 0% of unknown buildings remaining.

This makes the game so much more playable and faster.
" I have a good PC but still do this " !! even when Using 64-bit LifePlay
Turned down PP Quality (minimum) ,
Turned down AA Quality (causes flickering on edges of city parks)
Turned down Shadow Quality
Turned off Show? Buildings

I do have mods installed "26 in total " but they are not creating many issues .... and sit along side the "vin_" modules/core


A few things I have noticed

1. Fatal Error (some times and rare) , usually only happens on first attempt to start the game , and I always start the game from NickNo's Mod Installer
   
   
2. Manage Polyamorous relationships do not all always list every lover every time the action is triggered. Atttached screenshot with the lovers circled in red and my family circled in yellow. Granted this is new so i am not that bolthered by it
   
   I have tried adding into NickNo's NPC Manager , code to manually select and modify my relatioship with my polyamorous lovers. However I was not able to get work. The code allowed the menu to appear but not the results to be applied.
   
   
3. Sometimes a quest marker is often left on the map even after the last stage of the quest has been completed. Attached is example quest marker on the map
   
   List of quests which had stuck broken stages
   So far gameplay has shown "She Kissed A Girl" and "The Alpha Male" having left the final stage on the map.
   
   Usually a Save and Load (newly saved game state) fixes this issue
   
   
   
4. Sometimes "player character" is naked when they should not be .. but it does not bolther me
   This tends to auto correct its self, and if in doubt i save and load game.

A shoutout to
Vinfamy for making the game and the following for, Presets, mods , etc and mod installer
Ravenger6660, NickNo,

I would not enjoy the game as much without your hardwork

LC_AE-JohnEP: Ouch...
You dont understand my point and try to push it in a direction what has clearly nothing to do with it. But no wonder when people try to jump into conversation between two to just show their position.
And if you try to talk about respect, you should start with showing that there people who wants to play without being forced into specific content.
It has nothing to do with LGBTQAI + or respect for the work of the modder. So best, keep your position for yourself.

Really guys, play as you want, i do as i want.

And if i have Problems with a Mod, i try explain it and searching for solutions with that Modder, mainly so everyone can choose what to get and what not without workarounds. Like the Option to bring that Content as extra Download.
Modular(or Options/Settings), like the game and most Mods is, is best for all. So everyone can enjoy the game how they like. You will not miss a thing, if theirs solution for everyone.
And deleting isnt solution for long, even when the filenames arent obvious, if more coming (What i think will be, whats ok.). No one gets hurt if trying to get a solution for all, so everyone can decide what to get and enjoy and what not.

I do like the other Mods Raddeck has done already and for sure respect that work. Im totally aware, that it is much work to do the Mods. Really appreciate it. Still i tell whats going wrong for me and try to find solutions (as said: Modular best) with the Modder. And he just can know if anyone tells him. Then he tries to find a solution, or not. Up to him. Not anyone else who thinks to must show their position.

We both are not native English, so on some points we might talk past each other(or get it wrong sometimes). Happens, and im fine with. Overall i really have no Problem with Raddeck.

And with his last Post he explained for me important thing(that its not documentated how to, if). So im waiting if he will find a solution, and really appreciate that hes trying (dont feel rushed Raddeck, i really mean it: Take your time.).

So for the others: Get over it, back to roots and focus on yours.
I will, so im waiting whats Raddeck bringin in the end or not.
Case closed for me and dont care if anyone try to push it more.
