As you know, after working on the animation alignments aspect of the v5.0 overhaul in April, this month I've been working on the second half of the overhaul: the exteriors.

So far, I've completed 3d asset importing, world-building and time-based lighting for most of the new exterior locations I wanted to add as part of this ongoing v5.0 overhaul. However, these exteriors haven't been integrated into the normal city maps yet, so currently in my local Beta 4 build, the only way to access these new locations is via console command. Furthermore, since there are no actions, interactions and scenes written for these new exteriors yet, there's nothing to do there. They also still need some animations for characters to interact with the new environment so for now (for example, sunbathing on the beach), it's just the player character standing awkwardly in the new exterior locations.

Therefore, it would be a pointless to release the current state of the project as a standalone Beta 4 release (compiling the game's builds for the different platforms and uploading them to all the different mirrors is usually about half a day worth of development hours), because players would essentially be asked to download 2GB just to spend some minutes using console commands to look at all the new exteriors with no playable content actually happening in them.

Instead, I've decided to just crack on with Beta 5 and work on integrating these exteriors in the city maps, as well as the animations, actions, interactions and scenes for them as well. I will then release these 20 days worth of development (i.e. what was initially planned as Beta 4 and Beta 5) together as a double update on 18 May, where the players will get to check out the new exteriors and start enjoying actual playable content in them right away. v5.0 Stable on 28 May remains unchanged of course - that final update of the overhaul will still focus on mainly bug fixes.
Thank you for your understanding and support of the project!

I promise to stop asking about min age override, moving settings menu right after spash screen, start a new game confirmation if selected by mistake, and male to fem-pet animations, if you promise to keep game hardware requirements at 4.X releases level, or lower.

No money for a new PC.

The MEGA link in that post still works. although the original has disappeared. The mod itself is scene edits like requesting certain scenes not show up as much or some having their conditions changed. So....each time Vinfamy changes or creates scenes I then edit them again.

Sorry I didn't think anyone wanted it...I'll leave it up and maybe the OP link can be changed to this post.

Remember if anyone wants scene's changing or to be created link me. This isn't my main thing though so updates won't be massively frequent.

Next scene edit and creation is later this month when Vinfamy releases the new Scene commissions.
If this mod is still relevant it needs a new link? and if not? maybe delete from the modlist? that is in this post? https://f95zone.to/threads/lifeplay-v5-0-beta-3-vinfamy.11321/page-466#post-6052157 or is there a newer more up to date megamodlist post?

Welp Vinfamy... loving the game but please, you have to acknowledge that the development cycle needs to change. Drop for a few months KotM and even avoid the whole UE5 update. The v5 update is almost done and I don't see the promises made in the post: https://f95zone.to/threads/lifeplay-v5-0-beta-3-vinfamy.11321/page-544#post-7307217

Where is the AI logic in the upgraded animations? I see no adjustments or arching, no boob squeezing, some of them keep clipping.... so on... to be honest, it pretty much looks the same as any other v4.XY

Sorry to be so blunt, truly really sorry! But you have a unique game with a lot of potential which many love despite its faults. Don't drop the ball man, you can do better!

Works the same as editting "age.lpstat" without setting aging to 0, any NPC below 18 will keep aging, no matter the value you enter when messing with "age.lpstat"; and stopping aging involves newborns will stay that way forever.

The mechanic that would allow selective aging is in the main code, and trust me, Vinfamy is not going to change that. -.-

Thanks anyway. ;)

Are you asking for a way of allowing certain NPCs to age but not others? If so then I don't see why it wouldn't be possible for a mod to accomplish that with the existing API.

Is there a modded repack with bugfixes/overhauls/cosmetsics already preinstalled? Really don't wanna bug myself with all this again.

There's that one guy who was making an all in one overhaul of the game, but he coped out and now it's behind a paywall.
Also quit couple days ago, I just stumbled on this whole drama today, I don't mind pay mods, its his time, but was it actually anything good? His other mods focused so much on absolutely useless (obviously thats just my opinion, but who the fuck cares if there is a dedicated weed shop or some shit, like cmon) and not needed stuff that I wouldn't expect much from the remake. If someone has played it and it actually changes enough about games mechanic and or scenes that's cool I guess. Rest of his mods are all stinkers except for cheat mod and more interractions, cheat mod not for me but I get it if people don't wanna grind something.

Apparently he was upset about his mods being "redistributed" without his permission whatever that means, and used in other mods (that part I totally get). Which is why he went for patreon only content while also keeping some of the free stuff up to date every now and then. I really don't think it was that big of a deal for him to have done that, but it does look like he had different expectations and intentions maybe, which is fair, I think he just wanted to monetize it and was surprised by how few people are willing to pay for porn mods, at least for this game.

Modding for this seems kinda dead but at least the dev is adding actual content to the game and not flower shops 5 different tongue types (I'm looking at you LT). Game is kinda broken but it has a certain charm to it and there is fun/fap to be had, porn games need context for sex happening on the screen or you might as well just stare at the pictures instead, I think Life Play at least provides that decently, at least better than some other life sim I won't even grace with mentioning the name of, even by accident :)

If you use the mod manager most of the good mods are on there. You just click to add them.

The only ones on there you would be missing that I use are Grim's. Look at their signature for them if you'd like.

If it's help you I made a lightweight select from my game's mods directory. This contain the official mod's scenes only and contain my fixes (what I found so far) within. Since I am not a 'bughunter' nor modder and I have not recorded what I have fixed or repaired. If you want to use I suggest overwriting your original old files with the modified newer ones only or manually select (or just compare) the ones that interests you. It's up to you. Again it's only contain fixes and repairs.

By the way I always update the \LifePlay\Content\Modules\ dir with older files overwrite. In this way it doesn't messed up with bugfixed files or custom ones.

Right now, well, since 4.X release, 3rd party mods dependence went down the hill; only a few kept their "must-have" status, IMO.

To some extent, yes. The more you play the game the more becomes noticeable how many scenes lack consequences/branching/options/continuity. He was trying to fix that.

As an example, the one I remember the most was if your girlfriend got knocked up by another guy because she cheated: Instead of merely saying "Annie X just announced on facebook she's preggers", you'll confront her about it.

Not defending the guy, I actually believe he is in the wrong to paywall his mods according to Life Play licence; but credit where credit is due, he was doing something of value on that one mod (Yep, the weed shop and the others are meh!).

That's good to know, yeah Life Play could've been much more with those, I think he means to release most of paid content for free soon? Not sure if that includes the remake. And I had no idea that Life Play had explicit rules about not making a buck out of their mods but in hindsight it makes sense if they do.

Edit:
Does anyone have ver 2.0 of the remake mod? Now I actually want to check it out.
