Thanks for your time replying, but I first deleted the old folder and then installed 1.06 directly in a fresh, empty folder. Then downloaded and extracted characters.
The save files are in the same directory as the game, so if you delete, you delete the save files. In the future I suggest you just install the update on the same directory. That would preserve your save files. And any config changes you made. And you don't have to re-download all the characters.
Calling it a debacle seems far too dramatic. Adding the pregnancy system in without being able to really support it seems an odd decision to me, but if that's the direction the dev wants to go, that's their prerogative. Anyone blithely saying "just add the pregnancy pictures" clearly has no concept or appreciation for how much work that would require, but the amount of effort needed to support the system really highlights why it seems a strange decision to begin with.
Anyway, all that being said, I think adding in the framework to support pregnancy pictures through an additional variable on the filename, or some other method, would be good. Gives people the option to add them to 3rd party packs, or the dev to slowly add them to official sets over time. Do an 0,1 or 0,1,2 for not pregnant and one or two pregnancy levels, and make picture selection based on time passed.
Adding in support seems a good idea, at least.
My 2 cents.
I agree that adding the option to display them as such is a good one. I need to be careful because I don't want to break the existing file formats but yeah that seems like the way to go if anyone wants to start cranking out images of pregnant girls. Related to this I did try to generate some pregnant images and was not particularly happy with the results. They mostly looked like fat women. I'm going to try a few LORAs next but typically LORAs lower the overall quality of the images too much so I try to avoid them. For example, the LORA I use to keep the same face on different bodies has a nasty side effect of making the hands too large and manly. With enough tries I can usually fix it, but it's really annoying.
It would be great to change the 'hard' stats of the characters you meet, ex. Willpower, Lewdness etc. Lab Rats style.
TotalFluke would you consider something like this?
Lewdness is not fixed, it can be changed. Every characters lewdness goes up as game progresses based on the fame of the nearby clubs to where they live.
However, the traits (will power, rationality, compassion, greed and sociability) can not be changed. The reason for this is that I want characters to have their own personality. If anything can be changed, then IMO what's the point. They are just interchangeable bots that don't matter. A big part of why I think this game works is that it forces you to different approaches with different girls. That's what makes the game challenging and fun. I know it's frustrating when the one girl you really like has a high willpower and you are having a hard time getting her to do what you want. Not everyone will agree with this. And for those that don't someone else suggested editing the save file or you can use the dev console to change their values too.
I remember a ways back people were talking about the relationship harems you can have by having people have +2 polyamory and -2 for cheating, if I'm not mistaken? I assume this isn't a full block though because I keep seeing people with these stats still cheat so I wonder if that's the right way still or if there's some other parameter?
So in general there are very few full blocks in this game, if I'm understanding your use of that term. Most decisions use a variety of factors, with different weights. For example in this case for cheating it will consider how much they like cheating, casual sex and other things like. Their lewdness and arousal will also play a significant part. And how much they like the other person relative to their current partner. If they are being asked by someone else and they have low will power they may be easily to be convinced as well. If they have very low rationality or they are drunk/high they may do stupid stuff as well.
Can someone explain Greed to me like I'm 5 years old?
Does negative makes someone materialistic or other way around?
High greed: they want more money and more luxuries and stuff, so yeah materialistic is a way to look at it. They are also more willing to do stuff for money (i.e. take bribes, sex work, enter amateur contests, etc.). They are also more likely to be unhappy but react more positively to gifts. Less greed means they will take less money to work somewhere but also they will more likely to not work and in general will be happier. Will care less about getting gifts.
It would be fun to include trans people. Since we have recorded values of chest and penis size for every character in the game, at least female trans (male tranistioning to female) should be easy to incorporate?
This is exactly the same issue with the pregnancies. Either it will need to be a non-visible trait or we would need thousands of images of girls with dicks.
