There used to be a custom event that would break-up and boyfriend or spouse. Not sure where it is or even if it still works.

Yea it still exists.. its in the extra events/documentation folders and you have to copy it to the right spot for added events and enable the option for custom events. But its really bare bones, its meant as a modding example file.

Wait, can you actually edit the weight values of scenes?! I've had to save scum so many times just to get the narrative I wanted!

you can change the possibility of certain scenes, it should be a word file at the bottom of the official scenes folder. unfortunately not every scene is in there.

For what additional scenes were added, you can modify the chances of those.

go to \gamelocation\additional_scenes\official_content
find
weight_modifiers.properties

Its just a text file basically.. so edit to boost/limit/disable what you want.
100 is baseline, so 0 will disable, over 100 is just more likely vs the rest. I have some reduced to 50-70 and others at like 120 depending on preference.

you can edit the character in the savefile, he's flagged as "evil_landlord" or something like that, not as easy as the npc creator but it works fine

"EVIL_LANDLORD" appears as an invalid trait, so im not sure thats the name of the landlord trait

So his scenes don't proc? I've been wondering why I just couldn't get them to trigger.

There's just straight-up no way to make a custom NPC of the landlord. You can only edit the save file after he's already been generated. I remember the patch notes that added him specified as such.

Landlord is was only editable through editing your save, but is only really descriptive in-game when you first meet him (ie. getting the keys to the apartment). Trait is SLEAZY_LANDLORD and CURRENT_LANDLORD , I believe.

Hmm... interesting that SO locks their reason behind a paywall.

Isn't the reason HunterxHunter not getting updated nearly the exact same one?

I hear the author recently foreshadowed some possible endings for it too.

Hmm das suspicious. Ostrich likes giving excuses a lot. Back in September they said they had a 'migraine' and would delay the release. In October they had a 'nasty cold' and could do nothing but sleep for days.

Either SO's having a shitty end of year (which, if true, same), or they've mastered the art of Patreon Milking (from the past 10 updates shows just how true this is). All these excuses I've mentioned are locked behind the $5 paywall. Would be a shitty way to know that the Patron you sub'd to conveniently wasn't posting for that month lol.

Newlife 0.8.4

Major changes & additions:

  • Added a new event that can happen if you're in a relationship with someone who works in a bar.
  • Added an “All Shops” option when you buy clothing, that will display a combined list of all clothing items from every shop.
Minor changes:

  • As requested by cwr0308, added a MILKY trait for female NPCs. This will not be added by the usual character-creation process but can be chosen for custom characters.​
  • The mugging scene now has text for when the PC hands over her purse but has no money, and gives her increased stress when this happens (because it makes the mugger angry, and she's afraid he's going to hurt her).​
  • Made some text improvements to certain responses to the “tell him you're ready” action while fixing an issue reported by Sync.​
  • PCs working in sales can now take Ivy's charm-increasing treatment more than once, though repeat treatments are only half as effective as the first. Side-effect are not halved.​
  • Updated some text on the work-trip scene so wearing a short nightie with no underwear wouldn't describe the PC as having a “bare lower body”. There's now an alternative line for that situation.​
  • Added some line-breaks to hopefully make NPC descriptions a bit more readable.​
  • Added a new repairman career for those NPCs, thanks to Birb for highlighting that one was missing.​
  • Updated how the low-self-esteem interaction with bad partner effects works, so that it will take effect every week instead of just weeks when the PC has interacted with them.​
  • Low-self-esteem PCs now get a bonus to their maximum love if they have neutral liking towards an NPC. These PCs already got a large bonus towards NPCs they dislike, but this is lost if the relationship improves which can lead to dramatic changes in the relationship. I do like the idea of a low-self-esteem PC falling for a jerk only to lose interest if he doesn't treat her badly enough, but the effect should be a bit more gradual: going from +25 to +10 instead of +25 to +0. Incidentally, I suspect this is the cause of the reports of excessive love-decay that I've seen: the issue looks like might not be love-decay at all but rather the big drop from an improving relationship.​
Changes for user-submitted content:

  • It is now possible to set a custom sleazy landlord, as requested by several people, most recently by Darth Magus I think. You can do this by using the SLEAZY_LANDLORD trait on a custom male NPC. This conflicts with other special-NPC roles. The sleazy landlord will be set to be a sleazy jerk(even if you don't add these values yourself) and will have conflicting traits (charming & traditional) removed.​
Bugfixes:

  • Fixed some text issues. Thanks to Zab, Made 2 face black and blue face and Sync for reporting some of these.​
  • Fixed a bug reported by Birb where the mugging scene would behave oddly if the PC was utterly skint.​
  • Fixed a bug reported by Sameer where the impregnator breeding plot event chain could get have two different men with breeding plots and get confused about which should be chosen for a scene. Now, if the event chain repeats and the man from the previous time is still eligible to be the plotter then he will always be chosen. Otherwise, he'll have the relevant trait removed so there should only be one plotter at any time in the game.​
  • Fixed duplicate job section in the NPC browser, thanks to Birb for reporting this.​
  • The braless shopping scene will no longer fire for a man you've had sex with, thanks for Sci for reporting this inconsistency with the scene's text.​
