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

[boomba84]

I have some questions about the mechanics of the game that maybe somebody more knowledgeable can help me with.

1) How exactly does the pregnancy work in the game? Not the getting pregnant, but the actual pregnancy? Does it take 9 months in game for the baby to be born?

2) Do you develop a belly over time if your pregnant?

3) Is there then a baby you need to take care of? Does the kid kind of just disappear?

4) would you need to wait 18 years for the kid to grow up or does it just suddenly become 18 like in some other games?

1. The default is 280 days, but you can change that in the settings. You specify a multiplier to the pregnancy time, so .1 results in pregnancies taking about a month.
2. Yep, characters will morph.
3. Babies and kids are abstracted: they're present in your contact list, but aren't interactive until they turn 18.
4. Like the answer to 1, the default is 18 years but you can change that in the settings. Specifically, you set how fast they age, so 365 makes them grow up in 18 days.

You can also change when they're interactable by editing the age.lpstat file.

Note that this isn't September's Kink of the Month update yet. That would be v3.10 (19 September).
With this year's focus on 3d gameplay and AI, It's been a very long time since I actually added anything in terms of character customization options (since Dec 2019 in fact!). As a lifesim, the lack of diversity in how different characters in the game looks is still a rather big weakness of the game so hopefully this update will improve this aspect some more. For the longer term though, making each character look truly unique (proper ethnic features + face generation from user-imported photos would be amazing for this type of game IMO) seems like it would be a good focus for a 2021 multi-update overhaul perhaps? (for those new to the project, I do an overhaul each year dedicating 5 consecutive updates to focus on a single aspect of the game to massively expand it). It's early days but I've been thinking either that or physics (animated genitalia, cloth and hair physics) for the 2021 overhaul.
- Implement a tattoo system, with customization available in the character creation menu and NPC randomization of tattoos when a new NPC is generated
- Two percentage options in Esc > Customize NPC Distribution to control how common tattoos are for NPCs
- 27 new arm tattoo options
- 19 new leg tattoo options
- 23 new chest/back/neck tattoo options
- Some new male hairstyles
- Some new female hairstyles
Estimated Release Date: Saturday, 5 September

Now when the tattoos are there, someone good at making characters should make one for Bonnie Rotten.

Vinfamy:

Concerning tattoos:
1 - How about tattoos for the lower abdominal area, aka as the groin area, naturally thinking mostly for females ?
2 - Also, the lower back, just above the waist line, (where most "Tramp Stamps", are found) ?

Also, How hard, would it be to have some piercings, like for the nipples ? (for the females, my interest)
I imagine "clit piercings", would also be quite difficult, though, The Sims 4 got them modded .

 

[MattShizzle]

Also, the girls in the quest "Bad Girls Gone Worse" REALLY need to be updated soon - change to new skintones, add tattoos for Jessica and Eva - probably Ash too. Maybe closer hairstyles to in GGGB, too. Agree on the body tattoos - girls often have them there.

 

[MattShizzle]

Hey I updated my bedroom replacement mod. Fixed a couple goof ups (I was drunk when I made it but it was only forgot to recolor 1 bed and to resize/fix 1 room.) Did that, improved a couple other things and renamed just "bedrooms" so you can just move the extracted folder into the Lifeplay ----> content ---> modules ---> vin_base folder to replace all. Images are almost exactly the same as before so just look at my AUG 13 and AUG 15 posts of the screenshots I deleted on my computer after. Note as for some reason the bedrooms are redone as before every update (replacements changed back every update) you have to put this back in every update. I suggest saving this after unraring to desktop to replace after each update.

 

[Rebby]

How long before we see High heels?
Or does that interfere too much with character height and/or animation?

 

[Ravenger6660]

Ok, follow up removed "better pregnancy" error still occurs, so not the cause but doesn't help.
Trigger a rape scene for my girl, no error.
She the sleep sex-ed her brother, no error.
Sex in shower anal, no error.
Sex male cum in her, error.

I believe the fatal error is triggered by conception.
So when playing a female character and have sex with male/futa.
A fatal error is triggered by conception which crashes game.

Please fix.

I found what finally triggers error
If your female/futa character ask partner to pull-out or use a condom. At end of sex when they cum inside the error occurs.
So it must be a dialog issue.

 

[BeholdTheWizzard]

So many events have conditions that either will practically never trigger, or were written wierdly, so that they excluse options. Also, events that only trigger if the PC is male or female, as if the futa option doesn't exist.

It's early days but I've been thinking either that or physics (animated genitalia, cloth and hair physics) for the 2021 overhaul.

Personally, I'd go for the physics. The game's got decent character variation as it is, sure there is room for improvement but the one aspect that screams "outdated" is the sexual interaction. The facial expressions, sounds and new animations did a lot to improve it, but the bread and butter of sex (aka penetration) is still 2 models clipping into each other; also breasts have only one motion. What would be awesome is a system that keeps the penis aligned with the chosen hole regardless of the position and stretches the hole according to size (maybe this would allow players to switch the type of penetration vaginal/anal during any position or just the ones in which the movement would be natural both ways). Add to that better breasts, hair and cloth physics and the sex scenes will fully come to life. Since sex is a central component of the game, I think this would make for a much more appreciated overhaul.

As for the character variation, the way I see it, you could improve it bit by bit through the monthly updates AND still have the physics overhaul. This month is the tattoos, next could be ethnicity features, then genital update (different types of editable pussies and more variation to male penises or at least have them share the same customization options as the shemales) and so on. There kink of the month updates would make sure too keep the scene sector fresh while the other updates could enrich the customization.

(*shemales, ehh, you mean Futa, right ?)

Also, the Futa need to have some 'shared' sex animations with the males !

Often, you'll get an scene, that is a 3-some, your Futa, and two females . Since, the Futa has a Penis, they should have access, to the same male animation penetration positions, as the males have, and also the girl-on-girl animations !

But, more often, than not, you get the message, " There are no animations available for this character " . Really, that's not actually true, they just haven't been linked correctly/properly.

Then, when there is a 'gang-bang' scene, with the Futa, a male, and 3 females;
the Futa, is treated as a Female only, even though she has a Dick, and can assist the other Male, in fucking the 3 females, AND also be fucked by the Male, AND even include some girl-on-girl action !

Now that'd be a great Gang-Bang Action Scene ! (if, only things were linked correctly/properly, to happen that way )

('transwoman' or 'trans' for short are the terms from the game itself - how about we be radical and use them )

The trans model is a third 'geometry' (not got the techical terms since I'm not an animator). The alignment of the sexy bits addon is different to that of the male penis, so it is not merely a matter of 'linking' but of creating animations from scratch. Whereas when the trans takes on the female role the alignment is the same since the trans model in game is a female body with an addon. Go on and surprise me by actually listening this time.

 

[MattShizzle]

Problem is that there is a real world "Trans" and they do NOT have both organs.

 

[Highland_Hunter]

Futanari = a female with male and female genitals

transwoman = a male-to-female transsexual. (as in, no vagina)

It seems this was discussed before, How short some peoples memories are.

Besides, what your referring to , is the "other" way to play this game . Not everyone plays that way.

I'm just stating, the 3rd model, has more akin to the Futanari, then the "she-male" .

Problem is that there is a real world "Trans" and they do NOT have both organs.

True, but this isn't the real world, it's a game .

 

[MattShizzle]

Transwomen often do have surgery to have a vagina rather than penis.

Whereas when the trans takes on the female role the alignment is the same since the trans model in game is a female body with an addon. Go on and surprise me by actually listening this time.

So, basically, since the Trans/she-male/Futa model is based on the Female Body, with the "added" Penis, the Penis doesn't line up the same, as it does with the Male's attached Penis, so the animations would/should be built from scratch .

Why don't they line-up ?
As in, can't they have been better aligned so both Models could take advantage of using the same animations ?

 

[feelotraveller]

(My point was that this is a game and the game names a certain type of character {model} as transwoman, and it is the creators perogative to name things as they see fit. If we are talking about the game - here its animations - then using transwoman is correct regardless of its relation to the real world. If you want to bang on about how 'transwoman' is a bad choice of naming for that character {model} in the game, with regard to either real life and/or existing linguistic conventions then that's fine but that is something that you need to take up with Vinfamy either here, on discord or via Patreon if those are options for you. [I might even agree with you.] As it stands it is their game and their word is god.)

The major point however was about the animations and in regard to those the transwoman model is a female body with an addon. That addon does not have the same alignment as a male penis and for Vinfamy that means separate animations are needed for transwomen in male roles. We have been through the game mechanics of the third model in this game before.
