How long do pregnancy normally last for in the game?
that depends on how long you have set it in your settings,when you start a game,you push on esc then go to settings and there you can change alot of things including how long or short you want your pregnancy( the best is after changing save game and restart)

I've been editing the clothes/outfits files to get only sexy clothing. It's taking some serious time. I just have to be careful or clothes that are called for that don't exist end up giving me naked characters. Which is good...to a point.

Been playing this game for a couple of weeks and started working on some mods. I think I'm getting the hang of it. But have some questions if anyone can help.

When you change the background, how do you prevent your character from sitting on a chair. I've tried using Player.show() with various values but nothing seems to work 100% of the time. And how do I make a character from sitting on a specific chair? For example, I want to create a scene with the player, a doctor and a patient. I want the patient to be in the patient chair. I can usually get that to happen by doing something like:

setBackground(hospital)
Patient = generatePersonTemporary()
Patient.show(0,-19,60)
Patient.animate(health)

unless another character sat on that chair first (usually it's my Player). Or sometimes the Patient decides to sit somewhere else. It's very frustrating because it works about half the time but not always. Is there a better way to do this?

Yeah, check the 'NPC distribution & Beauty Standards' and fine tune the bodytypes. Fat bodytypes have 0 values by default. And I suggest set lower average female attractiveness (default is 75) and game will be more realistic. Not every new PC will be like a photomodel, and hasn't high stats in this way.

if you hover the mouse over the emergency break button you can see which scene it is, then delete/rename/remove the file(s) associated

Quick question... When creating your own scene is there anyway to generate a temporary person however have them older as in elderly? I know how to generate a random person and make them permanent however I don't know if I can guarantee that they're a specific age (elderly in my case).

With my rudimentary experience modding the game, I get the feeling you'd need to create a custom clinic or maybe just a custom examination room to do what you're asking. I've run into a lot of characters spawning in right where my character is and as far as I can tell, it's just part of the pathing. Maybe someone else can give you a better solution, but that's all I can think of for now.

Check 'LifePlay\Content\Modules\vin_Base\Presets\age_groups\'
then EG 'actor = generatePersonTemporary(sixties)'
or generate normaly
and 'Actor.age = 77'
or 'Actor.loadPreset(seventies_plus)'
or 'Actor.blendPreset(seventies_plus)'
etc

Hi!

There is an other mostly working method without using age group presets.
As I expected the 'NPC Distri & Beauty Standards', also 'the random NPC generator' use two attribute to make a character appearance: the age and the attractiveness.

If you set age (and optionally attractivenes) after the person generator, and after that using the face-, hair- and sexy randomizer command like this:

Actor = generatePersonTemporary()
Actor:age => Random(70, 80)
Actor:attractiveness => Random(10, 30) //optional
Actor.randomizeFace() //face should be wrinkled and old
Actor.randomizeHairs() //bodyhair and hair should be grey or white
Actor.randomizeSexy() //breasts and ass should be shaggy

Also can use .randomizeRace() but before any randomizeX command to have correct effect (this one is changing the skin color, eye shapes and the nose to adjust the racial features. (This command almost useless and rarely appear in scripts)

It was 10 mins before I went sleep! , but yes thats why I put ' and Actor.age = 77' although it was formated wrong lol. The idea is to give someone the info so they can look it up and solve a problem themselves.
Personaly I have made my own group of presets and code, that I now blend through and combine. These include height/weight/age/attractiveness these will filterd through aplying mostly the same filters to whole family groups through my 'family tree' mod. This then generates entire npc families with similar looks. I have had some very 'odd' results with randomize.

Interesting.
What exactly are you modding?
Textures for example, or attributte bonuses?
