question is where game store timeouts info. in scenes or in separate file.
I haven't had the time to really update the game and play it for a few iterations now, but traditionally, the timeouts are stored in the scenes themselves. If that hasn't changed in this update, they are always at the very bottom of the scene file, written like this:

timeout(24, house_party)

thanks man. As for all the requirements im sure i met all of them. Except maybe the karma one. Where would i set that karma hit you mentioned?
You can "sell drugs" (on Crime actions) which gives you some coins and takes a couple karma points. Or "pickpocket", which does the same, and takes 5.5 of your karma; but it might trigger some event (not really sure). Of course, either takes a lot of time a grind, and a single do-gooder actions raises karma up by 20 points, for example.

Best trick:
Go to
Lifeplay>Content>Modules>vin_Base>Actions>Crime.
Look for a file called "pickpocket", open with text editor, and you'll EASILY figure things out.
It's a simple basic action, so there's barely any code, but you can change how much money you get from pickpocketing, and how much karma you lose (it reads "Karma -5.5"). Set the loss to -15 for example, save the file, and presto: a couple pickpockets and you'll lose karma as much as you want.
Conversely, you can do the same with a good action, to raise karma, just in case.
Note, you could always ADD a karma lose/gain to any other action. I prefer to change useless actions (like pickpocket).

And do not worry if you get a bad end that needs karma.
The bad ends use up all your remaining karma, so even if you only have 2, you'll still revive (but this is so rare, you shouldn't ahve problems. As a matter of fact, I think I've revived a couple times with zero karma).

I know, I already edit the events each updates, but it's rather that I shouldn't have to. There are two points that I find annoying :
- The events don't only exclude futas, that are rather niche I agree, but women too. A lot of male exclusive events don't need to be restricted to them. "Send me a nude pic" could work the same way for anyone.
Oh, absolutely, I was just making an example.
(tho, honestly, at this point, futa is not that much of a niche. There's a huge fan base that would be attracted if the game had more clear and available options.)
I thought the nude pic was working for everyone, since it works for FF.
But yeah, I think Vin just throws out the events from the perspective he's interested and that's it.
Not that I blame him: most modders do the same, and it's perfectly understandable NOT doing something you're not attracted.
But it's a shame that something SO simple as changing a little letter or word in the code is not used, and in return would have more... well, return. More people attracted, more variety, more cash.

- The changes aren't limited to changing player.isMale to !player.isFemale, they often need to change nouns and pronouns too (he => <Actor.he_or_she>). The game has a feature to choose them dynamically, but using the male as default makes them take shortcuts with that too.
In the end, I have to read all the event, text and choices, then the event looses its interest since I already know exactly what will happen...
I hear you.
I spent two days rewriting the events I was interested... and in the end, when they triggered, they weren't that interesting anymore, lol.

But still, despite all the complaints, I still think Vin is taking the right path developing.
Much better to have a "here, base game, mod to your liking, I gotta keep advancing" than Lilith's Throne "Ima spend 3 years on the same event nitpicking every single detail and option", which just frustrates everyone. I was a huge fan of LT, but enough is enough.
In LP, I can deal with what's is in the game, and can easily change anything to my liking.

It's because I'm a game dev too, and seeing someone ignoring a feature they implemented always make me a little sad :p

It's not just because you're a dev*... it's because. XD
The options are there, implemented, and literally is tipying a couple letters and have a whole game difference.
Still, it's good that is a simple thing to change at least.

(* I totally get what you mean. I'm an arts teacher aside of illustrator, and it always makes me sad when there's someone with artistic potential wasting their... well, potential precisely.
Or certain games which have excellent opportunities to make great graphics, and instead they just fell short on obvious things.)

Is it just me, or does it seem like every person you hang out with is always "hating this..." when you have a meal? Nobody likes to be taken out to dinner anymore??
That's why the perfect date perk is so hilarious. Go to work, "X likes this". Do your finances "X likes this". Sell drugs "X likes this". Break into someone's house and rape them in their sleep "X likes this".

Yeah, until you get the perfect date perk, they all pretty much hate anything you do.
They like many other things that we do...how does one obtain the perfect date perk?

Does anyone know why this would never trigger? The scene works fine when manually triggered but it never happens in regular gameplay. All the other scenes I've done with such lenient conditions happen practically ever other day but I've never seen this one once.

Code:
WHAT: all, -sleep, -nap
WHERE: home
WHEN: 5 - 10
WHO: Actor = getRelative(); If Actor.livesWithPlayer() && !Actor.isMale() && Actor.isInterestedIn(Player) && Actor.rapportwithplayer > 15
OTHER: isAtHome()

Actor not a family member?
Actor does not live with player?
Actor has to be female or futa?
Actor not Interested in player gender?

Error
Actor.rapportwithplayer > 15

This has probably been suggested before- I think there should be a quest that centers around a pandemic or something that leaves the city needing to be repopulated... and you are the only hope.
