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

[Grim]

Not sure if this bug is already listed in a bug list somewhere, but I'll dump the info here anyway since I don't use Discord.

Bug:
Modifying an NPC's tags via the Tags box in the contact list wipes any tags set on the NPC with the "tag_" prefix via the setActorVar() function.

The simplest way to replicate this behavior is to get an exchange student to mentor via the "Mentor a foreign exchange student" action as a university student. The generated exchange student gets the "tag_Exchange" tag set on them via setActorVar() with a value of however many in-game hours have elapsed. This tag is used in subsequent runs of the Mentor action to get the exchange student for the scene, and the value of the tag is used to check if it's time for them to return home or not. Run the Mentor action again and you'll see it retrieves the NPC for the scene just fine. Next, add a new tag to the NPC via the tag editor in the contact list, and then try running the Mentor action again. You'll see that now the game thinks there is no exchange student, so it starts the process of finding you a new one again.

I've tested this further by setting additional "tag_" style variables on the NPC with setActorVar(), and they all get wiped out once you add a tag to the NPC using the contact list tag editor. Variables set that don't follow the "tag_" naming style are unaffected.

Genio

I'm glad you enjoy it. By the way, I have updated the translation improving it with important changes.

v5.15 (Bug Fixes) delayed to 11 November
Since I don't get a chance to do bugfixes-only updates too often, I just didn't want to rush this one and wanted to take a couple extra days to get it right and fix as many bugs as possible. Also a little of leeway as the update after that, v5.16, is the Lactation/Pregnancy update, which wins the poll quite often so I don't think Pregnancy fans would mind too much if I 'borrow' a couple of development days from the next update to work on bug fixes in this one, which benefit everyone. Apologies for the small delay but v5.15 should still be ready before the weekend.

2 good days to all. November 11 is very close. Thank you!!

Don't worry about it, fixing bugs is much needed.

Not sure if this is a common issue, or what's causing it...

I just got myself version 5.13 (I haven't downloaded .14 yet), and started a new game. However, my character CANNOT get a job, every time he's going to go for an interview, he says, "I hope I'm dressed properly," then strips completely naked for the interview, which results in him being rejected.

Any idea how to fix this?

try to buy business or work clothes while clicking on a shop and then buy apparel

try to buy business or work clothes while clicking on a shop and then buy apparel

So, I bought all the business related clothes I could (I was already wearing the argyle vest with dress pants and shoes). When I applied to a job, it redressed me into some other clothes, then when I actually went to the interview, it stripped me again.

Still can't get employment.

(Edit)
I've disabled nudity matters, just in case that's the issue.

Before your edit I was going to say it shouldn't actually matter if you're naked in the interview. The interview should proceed normally. Sounds like it's a mod issue though. I will say though that it looks like that scene no longer tries to dress your character in certain clothes for the interview anymore in 5.14 (not sure which updated actually made that change). That probably means the mod you're using needs an update if it's overriding that particular scene.

Edit: multiple edits for clarity

 

[dividesense]

There really should be a tutorial that forces you to go buy work clothes.

 

[PhazeUFO]

Sounds like it's a mod issue though.

Nah. Just edit the file to include whichever clothes you want and buy them. It should work fine. Try wearing said clothes before try for an interview.

They said they're using the Nudity Matters mod though, which is presumably overriding the job_interview scene. The base game scene no longer tries to dress up the PC for the interview, so you shouldn't end up naked unless you started the interview that way.

Which Nudity Matters are you using? dbcaf's original or my edited one?

 

[tendollars55]

Does anyone else's game crash when you try to have sex with someone your in a relationship with? This is happening for me with and without mods installed. I haven't been able to have a relationship with someone ever because of this.

 

[STNeish]

It turns out it was the Nudity Matters mod, I'm using version 2.1. It took me SOME time to get the prompt to look for a job, the game seems to stop doing that after a couple of days. Is there a way to get it to do a prompt I want it to?

Also... is it possible to save outfits to keys? For example, my apartment is automatically saved to 0, my job to 1, university to 2, and so on... it would be nice to be able to change outfits with a single button.

The prompts are just suggested actions. The look for a job one will pick a building at random for the interview, but you can travel to any of the "work" buildings on the map yourself and use the "Attend a job interview" action.

You can save and load outfits with the buttons on the bottom left in the "Change clothes" menu, but I'm not aware of any way of binding the outfits to keys. I tend to pick very simple names for outfits just to make changing outfits quicker, like "e" for everyday, "g" for gym, "s" for sleep, etc.

Except I also use that mod and have no issues with with this.

This may be the issue. He could have an outdated mod that is goofing with things.

Casual, work, gym, swim. Something easy that makes sense is all.

Grim! Can we talk in PM, please? Thx!

Change Log:
- This is the long-awaited bugfixes-only update that addresses a lot of the issues reported by players. For the full list, you can check out Discord's bugs channel. I've put a green tick next to the ones I fixed. There are still a few blue ticks (either not a bug or an engine bug that will be fixed in the future when the game migrates to Unreal Engine 5) & question marks (couldn't reproduce the bug on my end), but this time thankfully, it's mostly green ticks.
- Some performances optimizations as well, quite noticeable IMO.

Hi guys,

Small question: Is there a way to change the clothing of family / girlfriends etc? I mean is there a way to select specific clotihng options?
