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

[krash-man]

I do have high sneak skill, but up until the last update, I always had to take as many steps as it said, even if it was as low as 2. It never instantly won the mini-game as soon as I hit the first green square. I'm not doubting you, but how it works now is not how it worked for me in the past.

Ok, just to update, I tried starting up a new game, and tried sneaking with different sneak skills. Everything worked as normal. Then I loaded my old game and tried it. It now shows -3 as the number of steps to take, where before it said 3. So I guess it makes sense that it instantly solves. However, I think something must have been adjusted in this last update. Sorry for doubting you, Kassan06969, and thanks for responding.

I was about to reply to your previous post saying I couldn't replicate the single click completion issue with a sneaking skill lower than 97 which only requires 1 step, but it seems like you've already figured that out.

What I did notice however is that there seems to be a bug where you can click on a single green square, and then if you mouse over a red one after that it succeeds anyway. This seems more likely to occur the higher your sneaking skill is. I'm not certain that's a new bug though, because I seem to recall encountering that before occasionally.

Yes, I have noticed that, too. It is not a new bug, as I have seen it happen for quite a while. Not sure when it started, or what sneak level you have to be for it to happen, but I see it all the time. Thanks for checking out my 'problem'. I guess this was one of the bugs that was fixed in this update.

I guess it's not actually a bug according to the API docs. I had assumed that if you didn't opt out of the mini-game that it just bypassed the random sneak checks entirely, but I guess the check is run regardless. Sounds like success in the mini-game just temporarily sets your sneak skill to 100 so that the check will automatically pass.

this game loses its glamour really fast. once you've seen most of the scenes at least once you realize it's a disjointed mess where almost nothing has any lasting consequences, npcs are fungible, and relationships barely more than flavor text (with >90% of couples turned poly after a couple of months).

it could be great if it was tied together more and npcs actually fleshed out actors with some simulation of personality, social class and history. but it seems vinfamy just keeps heaping up more disjointed scenes on top of the pile every month instead of improving the core gameplay loops. sad!

I think lifeplay is brilliant , although the player should be part of the open world not the center of it. Meaning we never come across the NPC,s interacting with each other in any way.

Here's my fixed scene (you should overwrite the original). Instead of original it's making couples poly only if you choose to offer them a threesome.

Speaking about poly relationship, is there some completed mod, fix or whatever to make the poly relation not an open relationship ?

I mean, as is a poly relationship offers a couple of unique scenes, but mostly it just gives a lot of ntr and cheating scenes by bypassing their normal conditions and the SO's just fuck everything that moves...

That's why I ended up just disabling the poly module. I didn't care for the way the game portrayed the relationships or the way the module interacted with the rest of the game.

Something else odd.
I started a new game, because for some reason, loading my preset character also loaded his progress from other games. So, I started fresh with a fresh character. The other reason was to try and correct the following issue.

If a character is pregnant, just after midnight you'll get a popup in the top left corner saying how many days along she is. This is the usual thing.
However, lately, it's been doing the popup and noise even when there ARE no other characters. More, if there IS a pregnant character, it will do a popup indicating the number of days, then the next day, it will indicate the new total AND the previous totals... creating a LONG list of days. AFTER this, it will just do another popup saying how many days total the character is along.

I have no idea how to clear it up. It's not crippling, but having that noise and a popup that covers half the screen EVERY DAY is decidedly annoying.

Yeah same here.

I do agree that it would be cool for the world to feel a bit more alive. Events in people's lives... like, going to somebody's wedding, somebody's funeral, birthday parties... someone wins the lottery, someone is suddenly homeless.... DRUGS should also be a part of the game imo. alcohol too...

I personally would find it to be hilarious if some npc i know becomes a belligerant drunk.

There's a million possibilities, I do wish the game would head more in that direction.

That said, I really enjoy the game as it is and every couple of months i bump up to the newest version. Lately I've gotten into making NPCs, which is a lot of fun.

I would like to see deeper scripting with event support, maybe with an existing easy to embed language, like lua or angelscript.
With that kind of scripting power you could easily implement a visual novel with the engine.

Also, with this new bulk pregnancy debug window I don't know what's going to get exhausted first, my bank account from child support, or RAM on my PC.

I'd like to see this also but it's probably not feasible for a lone developer to implement at this stage in development. Maybe if LifePlay 2 were to ever happen, but it doesn't seem likely we will ever see more complex scripting in the current game.

Another Preset Thanks to
STNeish

Some minor adjustments from me. All files go in modules Folder

is there a way to get male NPCs to do the same positions/options as female NPCs?
Specifically, Strip-searches and spanking?

If the specific position allows you can try using the 'Swap roles' insex option.

As far as I know isn't any mod for your concern, but few things you can do against it.
First: timing out with huge value the bothering scenes when they appear (emergency isn't apply the timeout so you should end the scene in normal way)
Second: manually delete bothering scenes from the Poly mod's dir. (the next update will deploy again these scenes if you didn't selectively refresh folders)
Third: as you wroted before, turn off this mod.

I've never had a forced swinging scene with poly on, I don't think forced scenes happen with that mod unless you also enable NTR. There's a handful of swinging scenes that occasionally occur but they're all optional. Most scenes with that mod on are just a poly partner introducing someone they want my MC to date.
Unless you've got NTR on then I've no idea why that's happening, if you do have NTR on then that's what you get for enabling NTR

Yeah it isn't that i'm bothered by that scenes, or not know how to prevent them, it's more that i'm curious if there is some mod which overhauls the whole poly relationship and adds more events.
At one point i edited a lot of scenes, that was before version 4 tought, but i don't have the time or patience (if i'm honest) to do that all over again.

Yes i usually play with most modules enabled (a few like doggy and tentacle excluded), even with ntr active it's easy enough to avoid these scenes normaly, so it never really botherd me.
No swinging scenes aren't forced, althought i don't get why they are in the ntr module, they are a reason i have the ntr module enabled, just swing with a lesbian couple and all is fine

If you are in a poly relationship and have ntr enabled, many cheating and other ntr scenes which are normaly avoidable, locked behind a SO's high perversion or the PC being a masochist/cuck happens all the time and are unvoidable, thats what happening then.
