A lot of people are assuming this game is abandoned, that is not the case, I announced a while ago in the discord for the game that I was taking over production but that it would take time to get a new version out due to how broken it is, I was banned from the discord for saying that certain content would be getting removed in the new version (Bestiality, due to it being illegal to even have pictures of it here in England). But yeah have no fear because an update is coming and it will be running on Unreal 5 instead of 4
Oh fuck off you soulless grifter. You weren't banned for saying that you were taking out beastiality, you were banned for declaring that you were stealing Vinfamy's work base so you could sell it on Steam.

I hope the focus will be on stabilization and coding improvement, rather than adding a lot of content which bloats things further. I don't use the Beast mod, so I don't have a, uh, dog in that fight.

Yes the focus currently is on fixing the code and updating the engine, there are no plans to add any new content yet, a future plan is to test if multiplayer can be made possible and also to see if it will be possible to save progress for multiple cities rather than progress being reset anytime you want to potentially go on holiday to somewhere else, that second test should also allow for you to bump into your previous characters if you end up in the same city as them.

Hopefully fixing some long term (even at last release's) bugs. No word from Vinfamy in close to 9 months now.

my 3 wishes for core functionality would be:
Clothing meshes fit body types, and don't clip through
Strip all leaves glasses on by default.
Hair is always at full thickness by default.

but really I'd just like better optimization across the board.

The way the game currently is genuinely hurts my soul, a game that uses clothing to apply certain stats should not have clothing clipping through the body and other clothes

Hey, I think you should not excite the community with questionable promises, it isn't fair with them and you're just making a fool of yourself if you can't deliver it.

Updating the engine to UE5 does not solve anything by itself. If you don't (or try avoid) touch it, it will be looks as before and behaves worse than the previous one. (I know because I did a working ue5.3.2 version for myself) So the result are contrary, it generates even more problems and errors because the game version skipped ten (10!) root engine version upgrades and a lot of the engine's part are changed (depricated/obsoleted/replaced/revoked/upgraded) and the full code hierarchy must be fixed, replaced, or removed (not just the already known bugs). But I could write a whole page about it...

So from that what you said about your plans it seems to me you're over-ambitious with your ideas, either in fixing and either with your 'plannings', except if you have a ton of experience in c++ and UnrealEditor, and/or have backstaff behind you.

Anyway I wish you good luck for chasing your dreams!
And sorry to the optimistic enthusiasts! (I didn't want to ruin anyone's day with my comments on a hoax like post)

Ah you're the creator of the porn empire mod, I used your mod a lot when I was playing before I decided to spend all my time fixing things. The plans are pretty ambitious and are gonna take a lot of time to put in place which I'm already very aware of, I do have a team behind me though so it shouldn't be too difficult to get it all fixed and running nicely, the team in question are a group of us who all used to make mods for the game X-Change Life so we all have some experience with coding. The upgrade to Unreal 5 won't be happening until we have fixed the already broken code but when that time comes we will be asking people who originally made mods for the game if they want to have their mods as base game content instead of as modded content so that it works better whenever updates are released.

Absolutely brilliant dedication to improve lifeplay with ue5.3.2, please feel free to include any preset Ive created for your testing.

This man speaks the truth. Porting something to a newer engine will not magically improve a damn thing.

Wouldn't it be better to just start from scratch in UE5 with the lessons learned?

I was once in a project where management insisted for a couple of years on salvaging an old application instead of rewriting it. Long story short: Two years wasted trying to polish a turd; eight months rewriting it and now it is way better.

I don't want to share anything related part from it to anyone what I made without the game's developer or least her authorized person's acknowledgement
This you dont have to worry about because vin plastered the game with "THIS GAME WILL ALWAYS BE OPEN SOURCE"

that is definitive permission to do literally anything you want to it :)

that being said i agree people dont really understand what it takes to actually get this fully working in ue5.
but it would be ideal for anyone who is planning some kind of major reworking of the game to get it migrated to ue5 since Epic has basically confirmed they arent going to be doing any more ue4 updating.

most importantly is expanding the actual mod parsing code, particularly to include 2 new variable types and their constructors: Arrays, and Paths (for both .lpworld stuff and for Clothing stuff)

PS: in the meantime for anyone whos just playing on current version (23.7 ??) or older, and wants to try out a new mod,
im about to drop my custom expanded home and QoL and preliminary body mod (plus some random scene upgrades), and ill include my 3rd party mod collection to dl optionally as well.

next couple days i promise ;)

There is some truth to what chwX and Icebird said. Sometimes it's easier to
rewrite everything from scratch. But it's a huge job (of course it pays off in the end).

In any case, I wish EldritchLagomorpha all the best, I hope that you and your
team can fix the code and be able to bring new life to the work done by Vinfamy
