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

[MrMike]

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

Whats "normal" and "forever" for you? I have no problem with Startup and loading Game. Even on Big Maps.

But what bothers me is, the longer a save goes, the longer it takes to load People in Locations. Dont know, if it has to do with Numbers of actually NPCs already generated, or something different.

I recall trying this game out before , about version 2.## time , and back then i tried use to use London or other custom maps and i would have some loading performance issues but not many. Frankly back then i did not know much about what i was doing in the game anyway.

If you use a map other than Bath, Example London , please leave the Randomised Unknown Buildings at 0.1% , or the default value when you start a new game , so the total percentated of the remaining ? Buildings should read as 99.6% in the world , but i cant recall if this is stated in one of the tutorials/ingame text


If you use the Bath Map (smaller) , please Randomised Unknown Buildings , all ? Buildings,

On my Bath City map , I have set mine "Randomised Unknown Buildings" to 28 28 16 28 , respectivly with Remaining Unknown is 0.0 % ?

the game actually tells you this, but i do not recall if it always has done so.
The default for "Randomised Unknown Buildings" is 1.25% for all and Remaining Unknown is 95.0% (new game)

Personally I dont think i have any performance issues at all (contents of my most recent save)

currently running with what looks like 177 generated NPCs ,

4 are NPCs generated by me and are relatives (at start of New TF game)
Random Game generated

• 1 landlord , and a few neighbours
• 3 quest NPCs "The alpha male"
• and the rest ares through the course of the gameplay

I do get a little stutter sometimes as triggers for random events are processed "from mods/core game" and "having so many NPCs " and generally this is not an issue .... but rather an acceptance as it is a game mechanic.

One of my current challenges / curriosities .... is if i have all my Polyamorous Lovers living with me , how many in a room at night when i sleep is enough to break the game ?

 

[ihutch]

I do have an issue with some NPCs not loading "invisible" ...

1. Sometimes when changing scenes and locations
2. Often Delivery NPCs for packages "gifts" scene , such as the Holy Handgrenade , horse dildo and Gift with hidden spy cam
3. Repairmen NPCs for "broken oven etc" scene
4. Sometimes my current date/companion

Generally I am not bolthered by this .... but fixing it would be nice

If i can be bolthered i would remove some mods and check to see if it is them causing an issue

Raddeck good job on the mods, thank you.

Controversy and challenges are fun, so something like sweeping a hand of to decline an invite to something unwanted is the best option

I know it's highly unlikely to happen, but I really wish someone ported this game to phones.

Speaking of mods, I'm not sure which one it is, but one of the mods is giving me a kind of conflict: I start the game without phone or computer and even when I buy one, I still can't use them. I think it's one of those storage mods.

Just a though but have you check mod load order ?
Some mods are dependent on load order to interact/work when they depend on other mods

unfortunally i am only aware of changing the mod load order in game , using the mod manager and the arrow heads on the right.

An improvement here would be to have a button which can send a mod to the "bottom of the order " as to move a single mod down is tedious

 

[Blackrockomega]

I find that putting the game on a ssd helps speed things up (where before it took a minute to load takes 5 seconds now)

 

[R0y]

It is puzzling you guys have problems ruining this game as I have no problem at all and it runs like a bat out of hell. Loads fast, maxed out graphics so when you claim the game is not optimized you are wrong! Unreal engine is number one! The rest, not even close.

May I ask to have one of the people who actually know what they are doing to kindly take a look at the scene I tried to write in the spoiler...?
What I tried to do was to take the lesbian_sperm_donor.lpscene event and create a slightly extended one where the couple decides that not just one of them should get knocked up, and that they change towards being bisexual and in an open relationship after a consentual threesome.
Please don't spam me with posts of how I'm politically incorrect, that 'curing being gay' does not work and in addition of being a bad human being I cannot code and my english is bad. I'm already aware of those, agree with you and still feel strangely fine about it.

Where was I... ah, yes, the scene:

Has anyone else had issues with taking over a business?
It seems to be a crapshoot whether the place stays in the same location, and it never recognizes me as owner while at the same time letting me manage the business as I see fit. I have hiring and firing authority over someone else's company lmao
The "Take over Business" option is always there. If I close it all down it will disappear and I lose karma.
I've waited until the end of the month to see if I get $$ but it just says my business generated $0 of revenue
Running as Admin doesn't change anything

Aside from occasionally invisible dates, the game actually plays pretty well. Very addicting

If you insert the scene text as code instead of a spoiler it keeps the indentation which makes it easier to read in the post. Or you can just attach the scene file to the post instead.

One issue that sticks out is you're missing the closing " on this line:
"Of course, if that is what you both want!
It should be:
"Of course, if that is what you both want!"

Also, since it's supposed to be the PC saying that out loud, you should do something like:
Player:: "Of course, if that is what you both want!"
Or if you want some kind of emotion:
Player(Flirty):: "Of course, if that is what you both want!"

I had some problems with this. I was able to fix it by deleting the map save file stored in

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\LifePlay\Saved\SaveGames

This should reset your map to its original state. You might find you have to start a new save as well.

Yes, I know. I didn't want someone to confuse this with a working scene and download it.
Since yesterday though I got it working and polished the dialogue a bit.
It will start a scene with a samesex-couple who want a child. There's an option to have sex with both of them, followed by a threesome, or only one, or none at all.
The threesome branch ends up with both of them in your contact list (if they weren't already) and having the sexual preference to the player's gender added (in case one of them didn't swing that way before). They should now also be in an open relationship, so no more karma drama.
Unzip and move the attached file to <gamefolder>LifePlay\Content\Modules\vin_Pregnancy\Scenes

 

[ihutch]

I probably already know the answer ... but ... out of interest ,
I have had some "NPC_discovers_pregnancy" scenes trigger .... and interestingly the NPC does not show in the contacts list .. even with using "cheat" make all contacts with generated NPCs known.

I was wondering if there was a way from saved game state to find out who is pregnant by the player character ?

I am not that bolthered but i am curious ,

1. as i have had the scene
2. not saved the game after the scene
3. loaded up most recent save, before the scene triggered
4. So far i have not had the same "NPC_discovers_pregnancy"

I can only assume it is a "mod" and temporary generated NPC

[UPDATE]
I think i have found a way using NickNo NPC manager and batch command ...

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

Loading is alright, kinda, but the game does need optimization. My computer can run the game no problem, but each time I launch it, my coolers start spinning like crazy and the computer starts heating up the room better than any heater.

Map markers now get added for homes that you assign people to. Credit to straydogg for the idea.

Check the updated mod post for info on how the map markers work and for known issues.

On which scene you have problem ?
Please report bugs about my mods on my

for faster answer!

Well, first off, I'm not sure if it's one of your mods specifically.
As to the scene, it's the home scene, I guess. I start a new game and want to, for example, browse the internet, but the game tells me that I have nothing to do it with (no phone or computer). So I go to a store and buy a phone (or computer) and it asks me where I want to store it. Regardless of what option I choose, the phone never goes into my inventory. If I go home to look for the phone\ computer in storage, I do find it 'in storage' but I still can't take or use it.

Hi all! I'd like to ask, is it possible to translate the latest versions of the game? Because the game's GitHub... Abandoned, 3.9 latest version there... How do I get access to the game to start translating? I apologize right away. I'm a newbie.

I asked a while back in this thread if the source for newer versions of the game was being uploaded anywhere but didn't get a response. 3.19 seems to be the last publicly available version of it.
