Afaik there are 2 major time and location slots:
1. 'before closing time in sauna' - this is kind of tricky, as there seems to be everything after noon in that timeframe. Entering the beauty salon, then sauna and leaving if she isnt there and then re-entering. Repeat this until she shows up usually works just fine.
2. Saturday Cinema date - basically the same but this has to be a Saturday and time is also after noon.

Since the latest version many people claim that events dont trigger or people dont show up, but from what I see, it just requires entering and leaving the location usually a few times, so they can show up.

Yes! The first step worked!

Wondering if there's any plan for...

1: "Orgy"-type scenes (i.e. MMMFF, MMFFFF), or bigger/variable-size GB/harem scenes?
2: the "switch partners" button working in MMF/GB scenes? (switch-button gender equality lol)
3: enabling BG/MMF/FFM animations in bigger scenes, with the "extra" partners sidelined similar to how "standing DP" animation currently handles the 3rd guy?

I won't be surprised if you say any/all of these are just plain impossible because of something like the way the animation system tracks sprites, but they'd be cool features if doable.

I say this with the admission I'm still messing around in 0.84, putting off restarting

I have proposed the orgy thing in the past but mbmb has said that the graphics cant be handled. I proposed something more akin to a off-camera arrangement. But your standing partner arrangement sounds even better. Also, I dont think mbmb is looking to make any more mechanics changes before the Steam release.

Maybe it can be a request only feature and he graphics can be circumvented.

A small QoL request:

Please change the tooltip to show the region. We can read the country already, but the associated region would be more helpful here

Edit: Another minor thing is the retirement section:

This feels excessively short. The actress in this example would retire after less than 51 75 days. Maybe change the values to be applied on a weekly basis?
Here is the full view of the model - am I overlooking something obvious here , that causes this quick retirement progression aside from the low fame?

 

[GiPSyFiSH]

2024 steam release is probably a bit optimistic at this point? Just launch it in early access? I'm not doing patreon and I'd prefer to play the latest version.

Hmm...the Cinema one doesn't seem to work so far. No matter what time. Do I have to keep re-entering before closing time on that one as well? Because that one is on a Sunday and it just give me one particular random girl over and over.

There is one step between the sauna and the cinema, which is just a regular step in the salon, but isnt time sensitive. Remember: the first sister sends you to seduce the second one in the sauna. You fail, so you need to talk to her now first.

I am still a bit confused about these 2 sections:

The checkboxes in the 'likes' section are the same as the ones in the 'options' section of a character, arnt they not? Or what exactly is the difference? Is the 'likes' one only affecting the PA auto-scheduling and the one in 'options' will filter them in general?

you can make them do any scene but the ones they like they will perform better in. I do believe if you play through the scene you can make them like it gradually though.

My confusion is in terms of how they mechanically are different from each other or if one is just a remnant of something. And to the best of my knowledge you cant have them perform 'any' scene unless you actually agreed on it. Once you agree on for example boy-girl in the audition, you cant make them do anything beyond that unless you change it via contract.

Thought this might be helpful for others too, while I collect stuff for an updated guide.

The shaded rows are Studio jobs.

P.S./Edit: The same information can actually be found by going into 'mod tools' and then the tab 'jobs'

That makes sense. I figured I missed a step. I guess I'm skipping dialogues too quick lol.

Finally got the beauty salon and the twins. Thanks again!

Hi everyone. I need help ith the mod tools. What i need to do to the male actors that i've created spawn on game?

 

[Zackray]

Hi, I have a problem. I've put a mod girl but she's always in rehabilitation. Does anyone know why this happens? It doesn't show how long it will take for her to recover, making her a useless character.

Was she in rehab in the original save at the time you exported her?

This is just me spitballing, but it could be a "flag" that applies to the character with the start and end times tracked by the game, so the save she's imported to doesn't know if/how to remove for lack of a record of applying it.

If I remember that she was in that state when I exported her, I suppose it is a bug that does not remove the state even when you recruit her randomly.

This is all just me guessing at how the "guts" of the game work, by doing a "never diagnosed but wouldn't be surprised" comparison to the difference between "baseid" and "refid" in Skyrim modding.

I figure any "can't shoot a scene" state is applied to the character, but the start and end dates are tied to the in-game calendar of the save file doing the exporting. What's critical here is if one, but not the other, is directly added to the character file. If that's the case, and the game doesn't actively "clean" it during export, a character exported with one would import innately flagged without an end-date reference on the new game's calendar.

But opening your original save and spamming "rest until 8:00AM" until she's out of rehab, then re-exporting her, should fix this if I'm right.

znnrqp is right
if you exported her in that state, that flag did not reset
exporting char was somehow experimental feature coz of shit like this, but i managed to catch most of these things to reset them to default values.
some are obviously still left.
anyway, it's fixed now and it shouldnt caused problems

I understand, that would be fine but the problem is that the original save no longer exists, I deleted it a few versions ago to update the saves so the game wouldn't get ruined and screw me up, so I thought, well, I'll just take the characters and extract them so the characters that look good or have good skills come out again randomly, but I see that the extraction mod is still very "fresh". It's good that you've given me a solution, since I can now take the character as FC (female main character), extract it again and it won't appear as "in rehabilitation"

 

[tooldev]

Maybe I am just blind but I cant seem to find this information anywhere:

Influence is not the same as relation obviously but they seem to be somewhat connected. Where can I find the actual value of influence, as it isnt listed on the model page?
