Unreal Engine Abandoned LifePlay [v2023.04 Stable] [Vinfamy]

Thanks! Is it safe to just let it overwrite whatever it wants? Got a bit uncertain when i saw it wants to overwrite newer files (though only rarely)

Edit: I just realized it probably wasnt meant to do that, I just unpacked it in the wrong way

yeah you have to overwrite all, but if you didn t play the game yet without mods you may do it to see if you are missing some content modified by the mods , that's a dilma i was in too , and solved it just installing whatever i want, but you normally download the mod and overwrite all

Is there a way to exit the character appearance screen without confirming any changes?

 

[Ano Nimos]

Modding question again: If I am writing a mod to replace existing scenes, I should load the Mod after the mod with the scene I intend to replace, correct? Or...?

Yes. The final scene is the scene found lowest in the load order.

Would it be a good idea for a Character Preset thread ?

Thanks again, I put it in the modules folder now, but from what I understand it doesn't work that way for that specific mod and I should unpack the files from the Ravenger folder directly into the Modules folder & just override what the mod wants to override?

Definitely gonna take a look at the game as it is before overwriting stuff, though, haven't really done that so far.

Dont you just copy the Ravenger folder into the Modules folder and the enable via the Mod screen in lifeplay? Ravengers Mod doesn't need to overwrite anything when enabled from within lifeplay.

I didn't play, could I create a shota mc and his family here?

Oh, I see, I gonna give that a try then before overwriting stuff (and having to download everything again). Thank you!

Rule 1. No characters under 18.
But you can make a family tree.

Does anyone know how to edit the maps?Bath has no hospital or uni? Also in the age groups in Vin Base/Presets /age groups ,How would I go about adding some variation to NPC height when they are generated ,I know it can be done in game but I would for immersion reasons not have to make edits to contacts. that way we could have women and men with a slight difference.

Map layout no you would have to use different maps.
For each building is yes but during gameplay. There is an 'edit building' option at each location.

Thank you ,yep In game go in tho building edit ,preferably an unused location.

More Modding question: is there a way for me to make/get a specific person who works at a particular place (not your own business, if I assign business somehow my poly's mvoes there as employees)? GetPersonHere() may get guests and I don't seem to be able to find in Docs anything to assign people's place of work (and then I have to figure out assigning work at current location if available)

 

[Karkhel]

Both could also need some bugfixes

That too, but honestly if the devs combined forces they'd be unstoppable, Accidental woman is getting too much game mechanics and not enough content, and Life Play is getting not enough game mechanics and mostly just content.

Not unless you mod it.

There isn't any documents for your problem. Because only the AI distributes the npcs 1. current location, 2. work location, 3. and where's living (home). (And the ai will fill nearby places with permanent npcs. It happens too when you visit far places at first time).
If you take the ownership of a business after that you can hire contacts to work there (fixing they 'work' loc), so that npc workplace changing to your business (addEmployee(Salary) cmd will do anything) until you fire them and the AI begin redistribute to elsewhere (same way if you reset the npc's location in the contacts, that's what is undocumented).
The "GetPersonHere()" is working without optional bool (true/false for the permanent/temp npcs) and the only really usable purpose is to count the ai distributed npc number at the current location. If you read through the command description in the Mods folder, you can find this in the example.

But if it work:
workerworkloc = worker.getBuilding(work)

...then maybe this one too (it's a fiction):
currentloc = Player.getBuilding(current)
"DEBUG: currentloc value is <currentloc>"
Actor.setBuilding(work, currentloc)
or Actor.setActorVar(work, currentloc)

 

[ianskman]

over and over in a loop ..ive had no interaction with the name,this loop blocks all pregs from giving birth that are in contacts ,290 day pregs and over as a result..update had a 790 day pregnancy when the game was tripping on me.. would have had to call it elephantplay

Ah, Actor.setBuilding(work, currentloc) should be what I am looking for. It isn't in the Docs though so I will need to make test runs to see if it works :/

On second thought that cmd won't work.
The game changing player work location with 'moveJobs()', the home location with the 'moveHome()' command.
Also the AI use moving npcs with the 'Actor.setCurrentLocation(BuildingVariable)' (this is documented in the Docs folder, and you can see it in the lpai files).
This should work for you if you call in the desired npc with getPerson() or getSpecific() (or if you interact the getTarget()) command and you can try assign the current location to be that actor workplace ( Actor.setCurrentLocation(work)).
So two things can happen: Actor will be a worker at the current location, or actor went to his/her current work location elsewhere. Sadly I hasn't find any different command either in the AI files too, and there isn't any trace how the ai assign these variables and values.
