Soooo I might be missing something so ill just ask, I am trying the game rn and managed to get a relationship going, tried to get an H-scene started between the characters but the screen just turned white and skipped it. Was this from the patch that came with all the other files or is there something im missing to actually enable them?
Figured it out, its just male on male scenes i guess cause i tested it out on another character and it worked fine, i guess theres no real point in being bi if im after scenes
Illusion games... have been like this since like... forever? The last ILL/Illusion game I can even remember having any vague mechanics is that one game where you are a demon lord and battle.
This one being a bit more than some of their other recent offerings in that it emulates AA2s "ant farm" like setting where you toss a bunch of NPCs in and they organically develop relationships with each other for you to mess around with.
There is no betterrepack for AA2, as far as I know anyways. You'd have to get a hold of the base game and get all the official DLC. After installing it you'd run the Hongfire patch for translations and other nice modifications. I think there used to be other options as well, but the game is old enough for stuff to disappear with no living download links.
If you do decide to go through the trouble, I give a major warning that one of the biggest advancement made over time was the customization options and shading style.
Replying to myself for any other person looking for this issue.
The HFPatch solved it. In it's installer's last setting page, just check 'Fix Digital Craft recognizing SVS' or something saying like that and install.
That did it for me.
You'll see in Digital Craft's main menu top right printed SV if it worked.
