does anyone play with aric's mod, I need help with a slave not part of my mansion but I get their random events its so annoying, any quick way to solve it through save file or some mod script?
I'm used to changing or removing relationships through save file but never occupation or anything mansion related

The random events only choose a slave from the mansion to be the center of the event, however there is a bug that allows prior slaves to be the secondary slave in events as no filter was added to exclude such persons. That prior slave is selected using the central slave's "relations" list (different from "relativesdata"). Thus there are three ways to fix the issue:
1. Capture or kill the prior slave, which is wandering somewhere in the map, probably near where it was released.
2. Edit the save file to delete the relation between all mansion slaves and that prior slave by using their name to find their id.
3. Add a filter so that slaves must be in the mansion to be included in events.

To add the filter, open the text file ".../files/scripts/dailyevents.gd" in the Strive program folder and find the line:

if tempslave == null || tempslave.away.duration != 0 || tempslave.sleep in ['jail','farm']:

Replace it with the line(preserving the leading tabs):

if tempslave == null || !globals.slaves.has(tempslave) || tempslave.away.duration != 0 || tempslave.sleep in ['jail','farm']:

Save the file and in theory the issue should be resolved. This fix is temporary as any time you press Apply in the Mods menu it will be erased.

thank you for the kind help
two other bugs I hope someone could help with (they also appeared only after installing the mod):
1. leveling a slave through elevating their grade doesn't work, the elevating works fine but the leveling doesn't happen (all 3 auto-saves got corrupted, and had to reload from a very old save).
2. setting the game to only generates males or females doesn't work on people rescued from bandits, it only works on bandits, I would appreciate if I can change that.

2. This is a bit of a complex issue. Both bandits and victims use the same system for random generation and are not strictly blocked from reflecting the changed settings. AricsExpansion adds a persistent NPC system that recycles persons you have encountered previously, but this system does not check relevant factors for race or sex, which can lead to some weird results. The likely reason why this is affecting victims and not bandits is that the mod defaults the post battle choices to kill all the bandits, thus there are no bandits to re-encounter and they are always fresh.

I kinda noticed that, because there are captured slaves in my mansion with family members hoverable and I managed to re-encounter them outside, I'm kinda fine with that, I'm now into joining family members , I hope I meet them before they take them to town square and hang them

this game is so hard for no reason

this game is so hard for no reason

This game is hard because you start out with limited gold and your character's have basically the same stats as the enemies, so you cannot rely on easy wins to carry you through the early game. However, after you have earned about 2000 gold this game becomes a lot easier. Here's a combat start guide: https://f95zone.to/threads/strive-for-power-v1-0d-maverik.1136/post-5975251.

I'm wandering what if I make changes in the backup folder, does that make the fix permanent, I tried it on the normal scripts first to make sure it works without causing issues

Yes, if you make changes to the backup folder then that makes them permanent. The changes do not rely on mod code so it is safe for it to be present without the mods applied, though there is nothing for it to fix. That function is not overwritten by the Bugfix mod nor AricsExpansion, so it is effective to put the changes in the backup.

game imbalanced as almost all here. hard and unclear at start and easy at the end except rushed extra content

Perhaps if you have trouble with RPGs or reading English. As I said, it just requires you to take your time as you actually have to level your team and get proper gear.

in this particular game at start you have to hunt for single 1 lvl enemy being unable to avoid higher groups

Certainly that is a feasible route, though only peasants appear alone at level 1, which will likely put a huge dent in your reputation before you reach level 3. I haven't tried that route as getting gold is more important than getting XP early on, and the pair of thugs is far more efficient in this respect.

No, you Can, just need to build a wolf starting servant or reroll for a wolf with high [3] Agi [easy to find in frostford] and can run freely from frostford to wimborn, avoid 99% everything except frostford guards [which is rare and only attack when your reputation is low], thus choosing to fight any enemy you want, you Never "have to" hunt, only, you "want to" hunt, because lv1 bandits is far more easier to find than single lv1 peasant, and they are about the same strength, not even that hard to beat even on 1st day [with the right team], only annoying thing is when they runaway, but you still get reputation or gold, just farm and buy a weapon and that's it
PS: if you start in wimborn, it's even easier, or if u r a noob, u can always take ur time, i tested until day 200 without even leaving the city and it work just fine

I just started a new game a few hours ago and this is not true. Even after putting my starting companions stats to magic despite having no spells and spending the starting gold on slaves instead of gear I was able to survive groups with more than one enemy higher than level 1.

 

[Artiour]

my input on the "Starting" subject, companion could be however I like even if they have nothing related to being good at combat, the first thing is to put them on hunting and switch back and forth between hunting and cleaning whenever necessary (because you need supplies to rest and eat during exploring).
I buy one rope (never ever have I bought gear, I like to get those from combats), and go for low level bandits, if you beat the bandits you take one of them but if you dont then at least make them run way to get to the person with them whom you could ask for item or money reward (make sure to run away early in combat if the enemy's too strong or too dodgy).
this is a perfect start for me never failed me.

I have a problem with Cali's level up. The requirement for her level up requires unlocking Intimacy but I had already unlocked it and it was during the event where she comes to your room and accept here feelings. The next time I pick Interaction with her, it said I had unlocked intimacy but for some reason, no matter how many times I do it, she doesn't level up and it keeps saying the same thing. Do I have to restart a new save because I messed up somehow or is there a way to fix it?

This is a known bug that is fixed in the Bugfix mod (

) but applying the mod afterwards will not correct the issue in saves where this conflict already exists.

There are two ways to fix your issue: you can have her drink the Oblivion Potion to reset the level up requirements, or you can edit the save file with to lock the intimacy so that you can unlock it again. Be sure to make a backup before attempting to make changes. The save file is JSON formatted so I tend to use

What does the save file looks like and where is it located? I'm not that far in-game so idk what's an Oblivion Potion is nor how to get it. Edit: Nvm about the save files. I found it.
