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

[Raziel_8]

Well with the newest version i have constantly the problem that the 'main-room' doesn't load after a action, so being stuck in the bath, livingroom etc. happens at home as well as in other places. Pretty much the only solution is to move to a other place and return afterwards...which is really frustrating.

Any sort of sex scene (porn, onlyfans, hookup) will take you back to the right room. A couple other things, too.

Ok, didn't know that watching porn and onlyfans brings you back.
Still kind of annoying compared to automatic thought.

Yeah, it's a bug that started with this version.

Can confirm. Also encountering this issue as well.

Mod: Return to Room

For anyone that wants it, here's a "temporary" workaround for the bug causing you to get stuck in other rooms. It'll add a [RETURN] action to the PC menu (The red action tab, 2nd from the left) which will return you to the main room. This way you don't have to leave the building or use an action that'll waste time in order to get back to the main room. It'll also automatically return you to the main room after certain actions which move you to other rooms.

Installation:
Extract the zip into your Modules folder, and then activate the Return to Room mod with the in-game mod manager. Can delete it whenever the issue gets fixed.

The mod overrides the following actions from the base game, and will conflict with any other mod that also overrides the same ones:
vin_Base/Actions/basicneeds/bathe.lpaction
vin_Base/Actions/basicneeds/go_to_the_bathroom.lpaction
vin_Base/Actions/beauty/use_haircare.lpaction
vin_Base/Actions/entertainment/watch_a_movie_in.lpaction
vin_Base/Actions/entertainment/watch_sport_in.lpaction
vin_Base/Actions/entertainment/watch_tv.lpaction

Changelog:
23/05/14
Added overrides for some of the base game actions that move you to other rooms so that they'd automatically return you to the main room afterwards. The following actions are covered: Bathe, Go to the bathroom, Use haircare, Watch a movie, Watch sport, Watch TV

Another bug I have encountered in the latest version is that the Sneak Mini-game doesn't work right. As soon as you click on a green square, the Mini-game is completed, no matter how many squares you are supposed to click on. Can anyone else confirm this?

If you have high sneak skill, that's normal.

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.
