I'm only mentioning this because I just got done making a reply to someone to explain how to make a custom character, but I want to make sure everyone who reads your post knows that this won't enable the same kinds of interactions that inherently female NPCs have (e.g. sex options). It will only affect display text and whatever art set changes you explicitly define.
In other words, no sex events,no extra sexy dialog, no pregnancy, etc for originally-defined male NPCs that you do a simple "find and replace" method to give female names and art assets to. They won't act like Lovisa does in the game. They'll act like a male character whose code is broken so that they get activated for some things they aren't supposed to - which is what you're doing.
Edit: Also be aware that you'll have to re-do every code change you're doing now when you want to update to a new version of the game. That's the only way to modify Story-Integrated characters.
Simply put, if someone wants to eliminate male NPCs entirely from the game, digging deep into the code is the only way to do so, and it'll have to be repeated at every version change.
If someone just wants to have a female-only household and doesn't care about not having the game's defined mercenaries in the household, the player can just edit their save file's specific code for an Expanded Random NPC or an existing female Explicitly Defined NPC - that won't require redoing everything at version change points unless specific custom dialog is wanted. for that NPC. If specific custom dialog is wanted for an ER NPC or an ED NPC, a few lines of code can be written for that, and then that code just needs to be added to new game versions, rather than changing the updated code for every game version.
You are simply wrong. The changes i explain and show do require changes with each update that is the one correct thing you said but everything else you are simple wrong.
You get sex options with my method because my method actually address the game's code block that Applies sex to every character in the game. I give players a cut and paste change that makes the male mercs FEMALE 100% from sex scenes to any other female gender specific interaction. What they do not have is unique sex scenes that some female character have because no sex scene was written specifically for them but any generic sex scene is available. You can assign them to a morning BJ or take them to the bathroom for a BJ there as well.
You are also mistaken about these modified characters not being able to have children. See pic below
The above image shows Angel is pregnant in the in game even system.
Now if you just change the sex code sex 1 for male and sex 0 for female on the character blocks in the html file then yes you get a broken character that doesn't actually change sex. What you get is a named change and a imagine change. But my method SPECIFICALLY changes the code that applies sex to the characters and makes sure that Ansel rename Angel never gets assigned Male by the code of the game. And because all girlids 299 or less are designated female then Ansel renamed Agel becomes fully 100% female.
Here is an inspection of Angel Motte and it shows she has taken 6 loads in her vagina and says she is pregnant!
So I have no idea why you are telling people this when I can show proof you are wrong.
Yes it takes effort.
yes you have to change the game's code separate from the characters stat block but i state that is the case clearly. I show the code that needs to be changed. to make it easy for people to find and i provide the code player need to copy and overwrite the existing code with.
Yes you have to change the male pictures with female picture but I CLEARLY state that.
Yes you have to change their names.
Yes you have to change the dialogue for these characters to get it aligned with their new gender.
The thing is I am 100% upfront with this knowledge.
Did you even attempt to make the changes I told you to make before you decided it doesn't work?
