Hi Thora! Are you a friend of the developer? I have some ideas about the game, if you can send them to him, I would appreciate it!
Not a friend - just interacted a few times to improve game code and inter-operability with Monkey.

These are good suggestions, and I'll cross post to discord. You may want to join (for free) if you want to follow up.

Nice cheat engine. We finally got a height slider :'). I don't wanna sound braggy but can you by any chance make it also work that you can make specific body parts (like feet, shoulder, waist and so on) bigger?

Yes.

By default Monkey uses the game 'safe' values to make sure whatever you change works and gets used by the genetic algorithm.

Since many users wanted to exceed those safe values, I added a custom JSON system. It allows you to define new UI elements and override any game value you want. Of course, you'll need to invest some significant time to use it if your not technical.

I would recommend reading the documentation provided in the Monkey archive. Then for inspiration, look for the 'amazon' JSON circulated on discord. This overrides many game limits to make girls look like body builders.

Hi,

Is anyone else able to see their save files work from v9, on the SMA editor? These dont seem to load into the site anymore. Maybe I missed a post... :(

Thats a good idea.

But it doesnt work.

What happens is you get to a certain point and it just no longer allows saves.. The End.

There is a preliminary step where your game will not save but if you leave and come back it will work again, but only for a limited time. (I think this is what you were experiencing).

There is no work around between versions..

Im wondering if MM is actually causing some of these issues and save file bloating, relating to the save issue. As I started a completely fresh game, played for 12 hours on and off over the weekend and had no problems at all.

It's not related to Monkey. I don't have Monkey installed and I experience the "save problem" since yesterday. I was able to save the game without problem for several days until then...

About the "save problem":

You just start a game without enabling auto rating. I'm playing like this, and so far I'm able to save normally.


EDIT: someone said It won't last... :(

EDIT2: the guy told me today that he uses Monkey. I dont use the MOD, so I guess my save is OK because I dont use autorating. You can try it.

While it's always possible that Monkey causes issues, the first thing I do with a new version is test without mods - and I hit this and several others issues.

By design Monkey doesn't write to the file system, nor overrides/modify the game code. C#/Unity is surprisingly safe and makes it hard to write unsafe code.

Based on the stack traces , it looks like the json library runs out of memory when writing the save. As every model you send out adds new entries in the save file (and in memory), it is likely that overtime something is breaking. You might want to just dispatch girls like in previous versions until a patch comes out.

I was just wondering if the data that is now being saved if mm is used, has greater character data then perhaps available from the standard game itself. I just noticed that the save game file is somewhat massively bloated when I used MM, where as now, I am at the same point I was before, bit its 10% the size where I started a fresh game totally.

Clutching at straws obviously, but just sharing what I am seeing. It could have nothing to do with it. Im assuming someone has pointed out this issue to the original game dev, as nobody seems to have said he has acknowledged it... here.

Hi all.
i decided "save problem".
u need have 2 ver of game 0.87 and 0.9, when u broken savebotton in v0.9 -> u need open 0.87 and save game after broken-> this save will work on 0.9v.
Actually I proved this method and seem to work for me, I saved my game often, then went to the point where the game "bugs" the save command in the v0.9 and in that point just open v 0.87, load my save from there, skip one day by just dispatching 2 girls, and in the new day save in 0.87. Then open 0.9 and the save worked again.

The game use the same folder for all the saves so, you don't even need to search for your files or something.

The sad part is that the bug returns after a cuple saves, two days exactly, the solution works if you repeat it, but the time that you gain is very little so... Is a work around more than a permanent solution, but until the bugfix came, is the best option we have. Thanks for the Info borka

Update on testing: If you skip to lvl 3 in the v0.87 and save in there, after a cuple of days the game seems to works ok again in v 0.9. Like a week after lvl 3 or something like that.
