As for settings button to change hotkeys, you can try temporarily run game as windowed in 3:4 or 16:9
Thx! Changing resolution - that did the trick! I should I have known by myself...
2560x1440 is the highest resolution I can use to see the button.
With 3440x1440 it's gone...

Sounds reasonable, but no fix for now

Weird, maybe its some driver issue that triggered by unity's shaders + new office scene?


It's strange, some settings may be visible in-game only, but the settings button itself definitely should be there
Yeah, that might be whats causing it. I have latest nvidia driver, and I downloaded the latest preview update for windows 11, and now the reboot is gone. But it still randomly crashes in the agency demo.

Anyway, just thought I should mention it to see if others have this issue aswell or if it's just on my end.

Thank you for the great update nevertheless.

After trying the homework story and getting game crash instantly after loading the scene and model, I just deleted all the SMA folders (game folder, settings in appdata folder, saves in documents folder) and installed new from scratch.
Good news is the homework does work now, but Better experience still not showing after hitting ESC.
Any hints? Is there a console to bring up and show what's not working?
I also have the problem that the custom story screen is missing some info (like the red and green buttons)

Any help much appreciated!
Can't find those stories ...
WHEEEREE ??? :D

Omg please build upon the agency demo. That was amazing and what this game should be aiming towards.

I absolutely love this mod, but I just have never been able to understand what to do with the better genetics. Like, what buttons should I be pressing, how do I rate, do I rate the girls with the built in rater or with something else?
I honestly just want a "Go here, click this then this, and boom done" to get started.

Agency demo:

Now it feels like a game, not just a techno-demo. So sweet!
Some issues:
- Game crashes at choosing "outfit\reset outfit"
- Mostly the outfit part positions are duplicated in outfit menu
- At photoshot, it is VERY hard to catch the face =)
- Did not found the sphere at initial model place with "come here" button.
- After doing few shoots at different girls the check boxes with successful tasks are duplicated (should be cleared as new girl appers?..).
- Mostly you have to choose "finish session" twice (some king of looping at photo session start, mb when girl asks to remove cloth it counts like a new subsession?..)
- Default position of the quest menu should be right-aligned (monkey can endure it =), now it interferes with param-listener. As a better workaround, I would suggest to position the values of param-reader under the bars, with text color corresponding to the bar color (in two rows), and place hidden params nearby.
- Light is too dark by default, and light setting can not be accessed (asset issue?.. cursor appears, but menu is floating elsewhere..)
- The text font size of the dialogs is too small (TVallie's size and style was good).
- Walking animation speed (and fast undressing! and pose-cycling at shot!) is totally nice, but changing pose animation is painfully slow.
- Nude girl with shoes is treated as dressed (Upd.: depends on shoes type, small ones are ignored). It seems that shoes\socks should be ignored in nude\underware checks.
- Interact menu (F) appears when you see far above the girls head.

If the dynamic loading of the items is possible, mb the stuff (room entourage) should be related to the overall player money. That way there would be no need in saving room state along with game save file.

Other:
- Would be very nice of having simple examples of working with py code. Namely, how to show text and box of some color and size, depending on value of the girl, for example, height, at specific screen position.
- It seems that assets are loading prior to py codes, so you first waiting a lot for a load, and then reading that your code was broken... A pain for debugging.
- Assets are not loading while game is not active?.. Tt

As for me, the main disadvantage of the game carrier system was in overburdend rating scheme at higher levels. It take ages for next stage in each group, and you just forget about the stats of specific group you advance. If only this could be overcome with ability to switch between the desired groups and work with them separately (like on the first level ), that would greatly boost gameplay =)

Cheers, you guys - modders - are great!

After modding i got these errors
Screenshot_5.jpg I saw this error with this particular mod when I used wrong version of monkey
Screenshot_7.jpg cant remember details, but it should be accompanied by grey error window, with more details. Probably some installation issue

what to do with the better genetics
You need no buttons, you can just rate. You rate separate groups instead of full character. And you rate by hand. It takes some time. I still recommend Alternative Ratings (AR) instead of Alternative Genetics(AG), cause AG is boring and AR keeps the spirit of the game.

Very lazy way to play this game without rating by hand with AR

  1. Gather some portraits from poses thread, and gather few easy characters
  2. Start new game with AR and create new profile using your collections. Use your preferred characters for appearance, and personality to configure profile
  3. Just play with autorating until game starts to produce something useful. You may want to 'lock current level' if you don't want 10 separate profiles

10 groups require 10 auto rating profiles to maintain and just accept monsters created by autorating

At some point (in not that distant past) dev promised multiple save slots. Different saves could be a simple way to have multiple groups, at least in the current state of game
