Unreal Engine Abandoned LifePlay [v2023.04 Stable] [Vinfamy]
Alright, question. For NPCs on the Contacts option, is it possible to change their status like marital status to others? How would I do that? Also are you able to input how many kids they have too? Just wondering as to the options there.
I remember that a long time ago you could change the language but I forgot, does anyone else remember how to do it?
It's still there for me. Working fine.
You can use the npc manager interaction to setup any relationship you want between any two contacts in your phone. Problem is they both have to be contacts in your phone. There's some scenes that will randomly generate spouses and children and things for npcs in your contact list. Place where that seems to most consistenly happen is towards the end of the work day for the office job. What I personally did is wrote a scene that adds a bunch of npcs to the game and sets up familial relationships already.
I came across an issue like this when trying to write a scene once. In theory you can grab any two npcs that have the "ParentChild" relationship and then whichever one is the oldest has to be the parent but in practice I can't get age comparisons between npcs to work for some reason so sometimes you're grabbing the kid and sometimes you're grabbing the parent. Alternatively, there's just a typo in the scene markup so the wrong relationship type is being injected into the scene text. I don't know what scene you're referring to to check that.
It's still there. Just for clarification, you are going to the business that you bought and clicking into the action menu, right? I have no problem hiring new people and I get a kick out of seeing them roaming around naked (since whenever you buy a business, there's a weird bug where their uniforms are no longer defined by your business).
Yeah, I rewrote a bit of code for the 'call all polyamorous partners or whatever it is called' to call them and strip them, but it's just not the same, lol.

@ jkstfs123
The event when you are working and your boss send you to his/ her house.
The scene states you are making a move towards his/ her mother; after having sex, the contact is added automatically, but is labelled as daughter (a >60 years old one
). When trying to change it via "Confirm NPC relationship", even deleting any existing one, the game keeps labelling the relationship in the same way; no matter wich NPC you select first, if that even matters.
Perhaps in the code there is a "<" when it should be ">"... but just guessing.

Okay. I think I might know what the problem is. There is not meant to be any scene where the boss sends you to their home while you are working and you meet their parent. There's just a scene where the boss sends you to their home and you meet their kid. There's another one to meet their spouse but that's irrelevant here. Here's the issue, npcs aren't labelled as "child of X" and "parent of X". There's just a "ParentChild" relationship assigned to both. The scene in question attempts to grab an npc with a ParentChild relationship with the boss under the assumption that's going to be the boss' child but it can actually be the boss' parent.
When you are editing the relationship I assume you're running the interaction on the boss and then selecting the parent second? That won't work. That's telling the game you want the boss to be the parent. The order matters. The npc you're running the interaction on is the one that will be set as the parent so grab the parent and then say you want a parent child relationship for them with your boss.

As I stated before, it doesn't matter which NPC you choose 1st; either selecting boss 1st and child 2nd or vice versa, it turns out to remain the same. I tried both.
Even more, after editing the relationship, sent me again to his/her home and another elderly NPC apeared as his/her mother.
Dunno, it never happened to me until now that I met my boss's mother. Perhaps it's another variation of the event that has not been succesfully implemented yet, as all the NPCs spawned for this scene are over 60 yo.

Not for me. Something happened that took the option off the menu. I have been trying to find the file where the settings can be confirmed, but I cannot find it. Maybe the problem is that it got deleted or overwritten. If it did get deleted, though, I would suspect that the newer updates would re-write the file. I'm going to do a full version install instead of just the updates and see if that resets the file.
EDIT: Aha! If found the mod that added that action, and the location listing was missing "brothel:business" and "stripclub:business."

EDIT2: I wonder if "any:business" would be better (or even work)...

What issues have you had with age comparisons? Seems like it works fine in the testing I've done. You can do something like
Code:
Parent = Actor.getRelatedPerson(ParentChild)
While Parent.isValid() && Parent:age < Actor:age
Parent = Actor.getRelatedPerson(ParentChild)
EndwhileIdeally you'd just be able to do something like Mother = Actor.getRelatedPerson(Mother) or Daughter = Actor.getRelatedPerson(Daughter) or maybe include a boolean paramater to indicate gender, and not have to loop through a bunch of family members to find who you want but the API is what it is.

Yeah, this is my bad. They work. I got it stuck in my head that age comparisons between npcs weren't working because when I was testing a scene I wrote with an age comparison precondition by force triggering it it kept grabbing inappropriate npcs that failed the age comparison. I thought there was a problem with age comparison but what it actually is is that when you force trigger a scene the preconditions for executing the scene are ignored so you can get all sorts of incorrect results you wouldn't get through normal gameplay. I keep forgetting that's a thing. It's not how I would have implemented things. Sometimes the test is making sure a thing DOESN'T run.

I've actually been trying to make a bunch of my favourites. Some have turned out pretty well, some less so. Finding good photos to work from has been tough in some cases (TRY to find a picture of Dillion Harper with her mouth CLOSED... It's IMPOSSIBLE!!!).
She compares herself with this actress, maybe this can help you.

I don't know how to make characters with photos of celebrities
So I keep getting this event where a lesbian friend keeps asking to try a blowjob with my guy, does it ever progress past that point? I've had it hit 10+ times and all she says is she liked it and wants to do it again...
