I'm fine with spreadsheet gaming myself, except this spreadsheet is heavily weighted in the "give drugs and dominate girls" columns/rows. For such an open-ended-appearing game, I often feel like I'm suffucating from the narrowly imposed rails. Especially late game, where 'assertiveness' changing becomes everything.Realistically, if you're not interested in the core loop of "realistically" changing a person to your desires through sprinkling in new interests to their original interests, this game isn't going to be for you. Night city has yet to complete a game to any satisfactory point so it'll just be tech demo after tech demo, so you just have to be invested in the theme to enjoy it.
Like his other games, it's simply simulation where you're enjoying the freedom more than the story telling so there's really no convincing you or whatever to these games.
I'm more of an excel spreadsheet gamer and I can fill in whatever blanks with my own stories so it's not a big issue.
If it was me, I would tweak it so it works more like the card game version that he's been working on. I really like the mechanics for that but haven't seen an update to it in awhile so I don't know if he's still working on it or gave up on it. I find the mechanics for that more enjoyable than the topic system in the full game personally.I'm fine with spreadsheet gaming myself, except this spreadsheet is heavily weighted in the "give drugs and dominate girls" columns/rows.

If i were the dev, I would stop making new archetypes, and start making new scenes for existing archetypes, so instead of a linear progression it felt like a deep open-ended exploration; where you could mold the characters to your fancy.
How the hell do I get Gina's grades down? Or heck, reliably get her favour?
I mean, it is as "open-ended" as games come with the "fetishes" always being as how the devs prefer them. Especially with how critical this site is regarding cucking and certain fetishes unless you're "dominating" people, I don't imagine it changing any time soon.I'm fine with spreadsheet gaming myself, except this spreadsheet is heavily weighted in the "give drugs and dominate girls" columns/rows.

I haven't heard of the game, but then again, he's been deving for a while, so maybe it got lost.

Tried this - able to open from the .sh file though unable to get cheatmod working. Added .dll file to plugins though had to create the plugins folder within the Bepinex folder within the folder containing loser.app. None of this is by going into the app itsself is it? (right click -> show contents, etc.)Okay it's June 2024 and I'm revisiting this now on an Apple Silicon M2 Macbook. A while ago I posted some notes on getting the BepInEx cheat mod to work on Mac. Probably no one else cares enough to try to make this work on an M2 Mac but because I'm an idiot with nothing better to do, here's some notes on what I did to get it running. (The short complicated version is, you have to trick BepInEx into running in x64 mode with Rosetta. If you don't know what that means, that's fine, I don't either, but the steps below should work.)
0. Before you start, get the 0.11.00 game version. Launch it and clear the quarantine flag like you normally do for Mac apps (i.e., hold Option, right click, choose Open). Once you've verified it's working, exit the game, put it in a folder somewhere if it's not already, and continue the steps below.
1. grab the latest BepInEx for MacOS x64 fromYou must be registered to see the links.
2. extract those files into the 0.11.00 Loser.app folder. That should give you a BepInEx folder and a couple other files including one called run_bepinex.sh.
3. open run_bepinex.sh in a text editor and make the following edits:
3a. update line 15 to point at your Loser.app, it should look about like this:
3b. update line 273, the last line, to add a '#', so it looks like this:Code:executable_name="Loser_v0.11.00_MacOS.app"
3c. goCode:# exec "$executable_path" $rest_args
You must be registered to see the linksand grab that paragraph of code, the one that starts withcurrent_path=$(pwd)
, and paste it into the bottom of your bepinex.sh file, right below the line you just edited
4. save the bepinex.sh file
5. open a Terminal window, navigate to the Loser folder, and make the script executable like this:
6. run the script from the Terminal like this:Code:chmod +x run_bepinex.sh
This should launch the game. You can immediately exit once you verify it launches, we're not quite done yet. (If it doesn't launch, something has gone wrong and I'm not sure what to tell you, sorry.)Code:sh run_bepinex.sh
7. grab the latest cheat mod from the bottom of this post. Unarchive it somewhere temporary, you only need one file from it.
8. find the LoserCheatMod.dll in the LoserCheatMod/BepInEx/plugins folder and copy it into your own Loser/BepInEx/plugins folder. You can delete the rest of the downloaded cheat mod files once you've done this.
9. launch the game again from the Terminal withsh run_bepinex.sh
.
At this point you should be set. Once you've loaded a game or started a new one and gone through the intro, you should see 'Press X to open cheatmod' in the upper left of the game window, and pressing X should indeed open the cheatmod for you. You can find more info on using the cheatmod in that post linked above (step 7).
That's weird. No, nothing I did or that you should do involves going into the app contents itself. Part of what the shell script does is creates some folders including the plugins folder, so I assume something went wrong during the script that caused parts of it to fail.Tried this - able to open from the .sh file though unable to get cheatmod working.

thanks but I can't open pixeldrain and it's as if it no longer exists and the others give only gray on the C please do you have the file already downloadedHow do I hack only simps? Doesn't seem to be working. I fill up its slots but the hacking button does not appear.

Hmm just tried a fresh build and still not loading mod. When I run .sh script it does not create any folders (cache, config, or plugins), no logoutput.log. I tried to clear quarantine first by running the command prompt you posted but it still gave me an error asking me to give libdoorstop.dylib permission in security similar to other games when first loading. I had to do this twice, then the game will load using the .sh again but not with modThat's weird. No, nothing I did or that you should do involves going into the app contents itself. Part of what the shell script does is creates some folders including the plugins folder, so I assume something went wrong during the script that caused parts of it to fail.
I just tried following the steps again in a fresh folder and realized I left a step out. When I run the script in step 6, I get some errors about the system not wanting to run the file 'libdoorstop.dylib'. This is because of the MacOS quarantine flag, and when I did this the first time I explicitly cleared that flag like this:
Depending on your setup, you might not have needed to un-quarantine the file, or it's possible it just silently failed or even deleted the file for you. Either way you might try explicitly clearing it with the command above (after replacing it if necessary). You might need to give it the full path; I deleted my path for privacy but it's easiest to just type the first part and then drag the executable from your Finder window into the Terminal window, that drops in the full path.Code:xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine libdoorstop.dylib
I'll edit my original post to add this in as step 6, before running the script.
So following exactly those steps on my system, including the new step I just described, lets me launch the game with the run_bepinex.sh script and then exit out. After the script runs, BepInEx has created three new folders - cache, config, and plugins. If you're not seeing those folders after running the script for the first time, something went wrong.
Check for a file called LogOutput.log in the BepInEx directory after running the script -- it's possible there'll be an error there. Here's what mine looks like after a successful run (when it launched the game initially and created the three folders):
And here's what it looks like after dropping the cheat DLL into the plugins folder:You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
If your logs look different, there'll probably be a clue there about what's going on.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
My first reaction would be to say that's unrelated, but more I think about it you're probably right...I mean, it is as "open-ended" as games come with the "fetishes" always being as how the devs prefer them. Especially with how critical this site is regarding cucking and certain fetishes unless you're "dominating" people, I don't imagine it changing any time soon.
There's a green selection button at the top, it defaults to being on the other hack, just click the circle at the top of the only simps box.How do I hack only simps? Doesn't seem to be working. I fill up its slots but the hacking button does not appear.

You need to keep her drinking throughout the day, interact with her at every chance and then visit her at 22 to top up the intoxication. The scene isn't triggered in the living room, go to your room and sleep after seeing her in the living room. (Turn down Gina if she's at the stage she hangs out in your room at 22 on Monday)How do you keep Diane at 40% drunk by 22 Monday/Friday? She's at 70% after dinner but by 22 she's at 30%.
Don't use it too much on tilley, you eventually need her aggression at positive 15How do I move Jesse from Alterna-Bitch? I don't know how to get her assertiveness down, I can't even talk to her until she is at -10 assertiveness to work with the Dominance tag.
I suspect there's some hidden event somewhere that lowers it, but I'll be damned if I can find it ANYWHWERE.
Nor the wiki, nor the guide mentions it, so I really hope it's not something obvious and dumb that I missed.
EDIT: And of course, just as I posted this, I found it. The event is going to the bathroom after sex with Charlie, after making her come, but didn't come yourself. Also, it's a good source of a good Aggression topic, it seems, cause I was kind stalled with Tilley on it too.
