Ok sorry to keep having issues, but now I'm getting nothing but endless exceptions. What's causing this?
No reason to be sorry for that. Rather, I'm sorry you're having troubles with it. :( I have seen some errors like this before, where it can't locate files like that. I'll share some of the things that fixed those ones. Helpfully one of them will help, but there is a chance you're not experiencing the same issues.

After the initial issue with finding the 'game' folder, I reviewed the thread and found some earlier posts that also had that problem on Mac. There was a screenshot there that confirmed the pathway and file structure you should have when everything is installed correctly. It was a little out of date as it was the old install method, but I can use that to post the correct one below. You can use it to make sure things match up on your end. These will be key folders, there will be other files of course in these folders.

Mac: The Tyrant
  • Contents
    • Resources
      • autorun
        • game
          • SAZMOD - The full folder copied over from the mod download on the OP
            • edited
            • music
            • scripts - This folder should be deleted and replaced with the full 'scripts' folder from the HotFixv03 download on the OP
So where issues have come up before has been when users have accidently copied the 'edited', 'music', and 'scripts' folders from inside the 'SAZMOD' folder and placed them directly inside the 'game' folder. Depending on how the original game is installed it will either overwrite existing files, or just add them in the wrong place.

If something like that has happened, usually the easiest way to fix it, with to start with a fresh install and try again. Sometimes you need to place The Tyrant's main game folder in a new location, but that is more rare of an issue that I've only had users repost a couple times.

If none of this seems to help, or you get a different issue, please post again and let us know, or if it does work, let us know that too. It would be good to know what the issue was as it might help someone else in the future.

If you do need to post an error again, it might be helpful to post the full traceback text file or the full text in a spoiler tag, so we can see the whole error. There might be something in the full error report that helps shed some light on the issue.

If you'd like to share your save file with the issue, then I can look into it further and see what I can find.

So it looks like this save is indeed one of the ones without the mod. If you want to upload another one I'll take a look at it. :)

That's good to hear! I'm glad you were able to figure it out. :) That help system (the help option in the phone) still hasn't been fully updated with the mod events. It does have the core game events in it and when you click on the red box icon that says "What's in the box?!?" when you are hovered over it, it will show you a basic in-game guide where you can see how to access most of the mod events, at least in general terms.

I still want to do some work in that area. But anyway, if you want to deactivate the help system you can click on the deactivate button in any of the character's sub menus in the help system in the upper right hand side of their menu. Which you probably already knew about, but just in case.

It worked!! Thank you for your patience and everything. Idk why it worked this time and not last time, because I'm p sure I did everything the same. Regardless, thanks. One more SMALL question, and tbh i don't really care that much because I'm just ecstatic I can finally play this game. But the text sometimes gets cut off at the bottom, and adjusting the size of the screen doesn't do anything. Is there a way to format the screen to fit better? If not, it's no biggie

funny thing about Linux although ive used it for many years to this very day im still learning new things with it
in someways i should be greatful that i ran into the complications i was having with the game,etc because if it wasnt for that
id likely of never discovered the OTHER saved location and files that were being stored...not only did i fix the game BUT i got a shit ton of free space back couldnt get over how many game saves i had stored in there LOL seems im a bit of an addict
thanks for getting back to me and helping me i appreciate your time,etc ...i really love this game and after i added your mod i love it all the more its how the game should of been in the first place.you have done a fantastic job bro and i love your work
you have alot of knowledge my friend very smart indeed....wish i had some of your brains :)

I'm glad it's working now. :) In regards to the text size, I haven't noticed any text being cut off like that but it's possible I made some of the recently edited dialogue lines too long for the text size to accommodate it. I'll keep an eye out for that and try to fix those if I see them.

In the meantime you can manually adjust the text size if you wish by editing the gui.rpy file in the 'SAZMOD' > 'scripts' > 'core' folder. You can use a basic text editor to do so.

You're going to be looking for this line:

define gui.text_size =

It will have a number at the end. I would recommend making a backup copy of gui.rpy and saving it outside of The Tryant folder just in case you need to go back to the original version of the mod's gui.rpy file again.

Now with The Tyrant game shut down, you can change that number at the end of that line. The lower the number the smaller the font size and the more room for the words on the screen. So you can adjust it to your preference. You just need to remember to delete the gui.rpyc file as that will contain the old value and RenPy needs to reconpile that file when you start up The Tyrant the next time to adjust the text size to your new setting.

Sorry I don't know of an easier way to fix it while the game is going. That setting is set at the start of the game session, so there is not an easy way to adjust once the game has started, at least that I know of.

looking for any Linux users that may help me with solving some issues...i never use the .sh files to play games
i always just open with wine and play the exe files....i run my games right out of the download folder and normally when i save games it saves to the saved games with in games download folder (prime example /home/Dave/Downloads/TheTyrant-0.9.1-pc/game/saves/)BUT recently ive discovered that apparently ALL my games get saved to yet another folder leaving me with duplicate saves.../home/Dave/.wine/drive_c/users/Dave/Application Data/RenPy/
once i delete games from the download "saves" they are gone and dont return HOW EVER not so with the OTHER folder
/home/Dave/.wine/drive_c/users/Dave/Application Data/RenPy/
when i delete game saves from the wine folder not long after they all return back and for the life of me i dont understand why
they keep on returning how to stop this?is there yet ANOTHER folder i havent discovered yet?anyone else experience this issue?

$ uname -a
Linux Toshiba 4.19.0-5-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.37-2~mx17+1 (2019-05-15) x86_64 GNU/Linux
(Debian Stretch Stable)


i keep looking at the persistent file thinking no shit this is driving me fuckin nuts LOL

If you are talking about the 8am Living Room events, those change based what outfit she is wearing, as well as the MC's Love and Corruption points. Not all clothing options had a sex option in the available assets, so that's why it's there with some outfits as an option, but not in others.
also wondering if theres anything we can do with kate and not sure what all ya can do with vivian and the older lady ya see at the tanning salon?
I added back a scene that had some assets in game still where you can meet Kate in the gym after meeting her in the Club. But it isn't a lewd scene.

I also added a way to get a job from Vivian as an option to earn money. I'd later like to build on that to add custom lewd scenes featuring Vivian, but that hasn't happened yet.

Susan is featured solely as a side character in a few scene with Nicole, in the Tanning Salon and later in the Subway NTR event.

There are no current lewd scenes with Kate, Vivian or Susan directly. But Vivian does witness you during Nicole's City Trip event.
what all points are neeeded exactly for all i got alot cranked and currious to see what other stuff is available
It doesn't ever require more than 150 Love or Corruption points to fully unlock all the options in a scene where Love or Corruption points matter. In most cases, it doesn't require more than 100 Love or Corruption points at maximum.
I think there may only be one scene which was cranked up to the 150 point limit, but I'll have to wait until I'm back home to check.
and what about the teaching with the porn...so far anal and bdsm and lesbian NTR doesnt seem to do anything
unless points are to high and as i said they are cranked but if anything needs to be an exact amount pls tell me so i can mark it down and try it all out
In regards to showing Alexis different fetish porn options, viewing Anal porn 4 times unlocks an extra sex option during the 4am Alexis basement event. And viewing Lesbian porn 4 times unlocks the encounter with Alexis and Irina in the MC's room if you choose to show Alexis Lesbian porn again. Which that can lead to more events between Alexis and Irina as well as an NTR event.

Showing her the other porn options can unlock minor variations in dialogue in some scenes with Alexis, but only those 2 options I mentioned previously have a major impact on scenes in the game so far.

How do you get the younger sister to be friends with Davide? They met each other on the first date with her at the barn, but haven't interacted since
