Can we change the character shown in the start screen of the game??

Is there a bug with cameraFocus(Actor)? I cannot make it work either with the player or NPC.

No; I've asked after that and Vinfamy's response was that it's hardcoded to the default to load as fast as possible.

I just found this game a day or two ago, and I would like to say that my mind is blown. Like another poster said, this may be the greatest porn game ever.

I can't even fathom how long it took to make this. I know that there's obviously a lot of bugs, and a lot of the buildings look the same, clothes don't fit right, etc. but to me that just adds to the charm.

You are all awesome. Thanks for putting so much time and effort into this.

We really should migrate to UE 5... it is portable from UE 4

With metahumans features and megascan bridge you will made a mind blowing realistic sex game.

Enjoy your time, some of us maybe a tad disgruntled (me ) but you'll have a good time for awhile.

Temper your expectations. It'll be merely a new fresh coat of paint on top of the same poorly aging game. By the looks of it, Life Play is pretty much in its final form, and moving forward the updates will be merely cosmetic, never to properly enhance the mechanics significantly.

I hope I'm wrong because I truly love the game; but the expectations I had for Life Play back in 2018 when I first saw it dwindle with each version.

Hello ! I have a question about the game :

I have a girlfriend, the netorare module activated, but even with max affection / attraction, shes just cheating everytime an event with her occur, now she has around 60 perversion and im guessing thats part of why.

Is it really only because of perversion ? or if netorare module is actived the cheating will happen no matter what ?

Thanks

If you look at the source files for the events, you'll notice that nearly all NPC behavior is typically determined by just these 3 variables (ordered by apparent significance):

1. perversion

2. attraction to player

3. dominance / submission

The principle is good, but this system built around just 3 traits comes across as overly-simplistic when it comes to what should be complex behaviors with complex motivations, and it highlights the lack of an actual personality system.

Ideally, an additional stat for "loyalty" or "faithfulness" would be a great addition to make behaviors more realistic.

Beyond that, it'd be nice to have another stat for "jealousy" or "possessiveness", indicating an NPC's propensity to share the player with other NPCs and their sensitivity to cheating, etc. This could be further sub-divided into sexual jealousy and romantic jealousy. But at this point I'm just brainstorming, lol.

And, finally--digressing even further--I would love it if NPCs had memory. Referencing or discussing previous interactions independently, reminiscing, etc.

I suppose that all of these points, stats for loyalty, jealousy, a memory system, etc., just illustrates that there's room for growth in immersive NPC behavior.

What's the deal with an NPC's dangerous days going into the negative sometime? Like, if it says their dangerous days are from "-3 - 2", what does that mean? Does that translate as the 27th of last month till the 2nd of current month? Or is it just a bug that breaks the system?

That happens if the actor have low fitness.

You could change the file LifePlay\Content\Modules\vin_Base\Stats\Longterm\fitness.lpstat and set STAT_MIN to 30 or so, to avoid that situation.

Thx a lot for the explanation.

Once again i tried it.. i keep failing to see the appeal.
But.. i seem to be a minority. Have fun. -still- Not for me .

 

[Yotherethere]

Going to a job interview. I'm naked apparently.
initiating sex with someone, another character turns up.
Sometimes i have sex in the air.
I'm literally a sadist. But "Your character will not like that" when going for rough.
Raping someone (The one being raped loves it)
Raping someone (The one being raped is too tired)
The bartender, whom i want to spike, is also the bartender suggesting me to spike the drink.

'rapport with player' is a stat that I use to indicate "loyalty" or "faithfulness"

I think "jealousy" or "possessiveness" occurs when person has a masochist deep in the negatives & attraction to player really high.

Using setActorVar(tag_something, 1) is a way to Reference or discuss previous interactions independently, reminiscing, etc. Like an I-Owe-You or a 3-strikes-your-out warning.

1. you need to own office clothing.

Spoiler: Work clothing list.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

2. My guess is that you are performing an interaction with an NPC in the room. Some random scene pops up before the interaction finished. And the NPCs in the room are switched out with new ones & now your 'interaction scene' has you with 'undesirable npc'.
Or scene the themselves have an error.
Or you might have miss clicked on someone else.

3. It happens sometimes. If it is the same room could try fixing/replacing room in game & where the file is at { LifePlay\Content\Modules\vin_Base\World }

4. how fast & hard you fuck is determined by a different stat. ' likes_rough '

5a. if NPC has a high masochist they would enjoy it.
5b. scene could be missing ' TalkNonConsensual() '
5c. the .lptalk files might need editing but I don't know where all of them are.

6.It is annoying. This is determined by the fitness stat

7. Just bad scene writing. But just because someone works at bar does not mean they are bartender. Game logic = 2 year old

In public areas the game doesn't seem to properly clear out all the random NPCs either, so they're often just hanging around watching you have sex. The worst is when the background switches to the bathroom, so you have half a dozen people crammed in there.

Enjoy your time, some of us maybe a tad disgruntled (me ) but you'll have a good time for awhile.



I believe Vinfamy is trying out UE5 as we speak and will put a demo at some point.

Is this a game where bugs are fixed over time, or should I just accept it as it is? I've been making a list of wonky things under the assumption that if i post them, whoever makes the game will take note and fix them at some point.

Here's the list:

Task Bar: Often, when i do a task (like a quest - "searching for william") a task bar appears over the map in the bottom right corner of the screen and slowly progresses. But then, I'll have a sudden event (example: sister is good at music and wants to help me be better) and once that event is over, my task bar stops - no more quest progress. So I have to re-start the quest from the beginning - and even then, a new event might pop up and stop my bar progress again. So, my question: Is there a way to get the bar moving again without re-starting the quest?

Wedded Bliss: My character is married. My wife doesn't sleep in the same bed with me. She sits in a chair all night lol. A little odd.

Work: Clicking on people at work in the office is a little funky. I like to "work together", hopefully to build relationship points with co-workers. So I click "work together and when it's done, i have to use the camera to chase the NPC around to click it again. It would be easier if i could just set an amount of time to work with them, or make it so the NPC doesn't wander off right when a task ends.

More Work: How much are you expected to work in order to keep your job? I generally try to adhere to a M-F 8 AM to 5 PM schedule and keep getting praise from the boss. I am starting to think that all you really have to do is click "work" once per day, 5 days per week? Is that correct?

My LGBT Mafia Boss: I have a male character who is only into females. I decided to try out organized crime. But the mafia boss said i had to have sex with him to join?!! Did I read that right? I'm not trying to poop on anyone's parade, but I'm not into that and I wanted to see what the mafia thing was all about. Did I miss something? I just want to add some Goodfellas into this porn mix, you know... wife is oblivious at first, i have a sleazy girlfriend in a secret apartment, I whack a guy for buying a fur coat with our heist money and drawing attention from the cops, that kind of thing.

Missing Intro Text: There is an event where you go on a double date. The intro text seems to be absent... I'm just immediately given a choice to agree to something vague or not.

Clipping: There are a number of times where my partner and I end up clipping through a wall in certain positions. Generally not a big deal, but if you end up making sweet love in a movie theater, you're positioned half inside the floor. I think you should set it up so that the sex activity occurs up front by the movie screen, which is where the lowest floor level is.

Hitting "C": I recently discovered the joy of hitting C during sex scenes, which allows you to see from your character's perspective. This is fantastic. But one time, when the scene ended... my character's head went missing. Like he literally had a big hole between his shoulders. I quit the game and restarted, and my head came back, thank god.

Camera Issues: By far the biggest issue I've encountered in this game so far is having to hold down a mouse button when moving the camera. This is because, when a dialogue or event pops up, I can't look around, because if i click the mouse, i advance the conversation. So for example, if a woman approaches me and hits on me, many times I can't see her, so i can't decide if i think she's hot or not. I can move the camera around with wasd keys, but i can't rotate the camera. So often, I only see the woman's back.

Anyway, none of these glitches hinder my enjoyment of the game much, honestly they make me laugh. Thanks again everyone for putting this together, I'm still reeling from it.. it's like I discovered a hidden city full of riches.

...

The game seems to add new bugs faster than they get fixed. Many of the current bugs have existed for years. I used to try and compile bug lists as well but I gave up. Official bug reporting seems to happen on the Discord which I don't use.
