XCL's tension between having the ability to transform and facing consequences for those transformations actually creates more compelling gameplay and narrative (in my humble opinion) - just because the technology exists doesn't mean society (or the individual) instantly abandons all gender concepts, and navigating that friction between possibility and social reality is EXACTLY what makes the experience interesting rather than just being a consequence-free sandbox.

When you can't have everything simultaneously, you create desire and stakes. The masculine things you lose make the feminine things you gain feel more precious (and vice versa). It's like how food tastes better when you're hungry - limitation creates value.
I had a post about this a while ago, but you must have missed it since you dropped an update that day and were probably very busy, but it feels like you cannot play a dominant woman at all. I get that you want tot keep it binary, but now it feels like you lose all resemblance of self when you transform. It is not necessary turning into a woman, as it is you turn into a helpless slut. Sometimes it feels less like X-Change, and more like a sluttification pill. Will there be more 'normal' sex in the future? Maybe have the sister pop a blue pill and you a pink one, but not be treated like a second class cumdump?

It doesn't have to alter the game completely, but some 'less helpless slut' and more dominant or confident woman scenes would be cool.

I'm definitely planning to have that type of scene, but I can only do so much haha!

Is there any chance for the pacth to release before the start of the weekend? I am holding back my playthrough until the intiface-fix and am eager to discover 22.2.
Here is the file that contains the fix - sorry I'm neck deep in the next scene, this is live on the website but I haven't done the necessary work yet of distributing this bugfix around the interwebs.

Hi Aphro,
1. I've recently tryed the New-u machine for fan and saw as a collateral effect something that looks like a pill from a Mod called "syphon pill". It makes your cock shrinks if you cum as female/get creampied/eat cum. I really like that collateral effect but, imho, shrinking should happen slowlier. Any possibility to add that pill (syphon) to the game?

2. I find Bruce, as a playboy, too shy. I believe he should go more agressive when hitting on you in the bar. I guess there's a mod on that too.

3. I don't know how pleasing a girl (a bar one/otherwise) works in the game but, I find it too easy to do that and so, after some time, recovering masculinity gets somewhat boring. With my stats and even having a small dick I can easily make them cum for 3 times at least and recover 5 masculinity points. I believe that to make it more real, some difficulty should be added to it, to add fun to the game. As far as I recall, there's a mod on that too that could be added to the game.

Just some suggestions. ;)

Thank you for those suggestions! They will be taken under advisement :)

Ok so I tried many mods as without them some features would be missed so I tried to go deeper into it. I tried 60+ mods with many bargirls, around 20 or so, and effectively 30-40 mods were there besides bargirls, and yes you need atleast bargirls in this game.

And these are my finding:

1. Black and Purple conflict with each other. I have seen purple girls being marked potential blacked which then sent us to that cuck scene if we dont perform well, this led female based content when girl herself was trans, this led to corruption of event which basically ended with -120 respect and attraction lol. Anyways, focus on blacked only as it has more content, dredding intimacy works with that and honestly i think that one is causing issues.

2. Wharf has too many bars for its own good, some other places could have been better like some carnival in weekend afternoon or so or in evening.

3. Femininity trigger mods are broken. I lost to Bruce blackjack, in 2 fuckings I went from 95 masculanity to 60, everytime MC wear female clothes it triggers -1 point or +1 point for femininity. This is an issue, a character with 40 femininity should not get +1 femininity after wearing some basic women top and bottoms, not even heels or fancy one, but basic clothes were enough to reduce femininity so much. They should have happened only if MC was more than 90 or even 80 masculanity for basic clothes, but its a flat drop rate for every clothes across whole stat.

In the end, mods are good. Pick blacked one and some bargirls with warf, i had installed the battlecards as it was appearing a lot in wharf but i may just remove it because i dont see myself playing it or will just keep it for sake of it. And also, do pick emporium and insta lab, emporio for extra content and insta lab for money if you dont wanna cheat. And also pick secretary points saving, that one is essential.

For new players like me, I would suggest picking blacked, emporium, secretary, bargirls, and wharf mods at least. Start with 3 charm and intelligence, get the secretary content first as step dad content start logically with there and it also unlocks ability to go back into secretary job in sales early. And I would also suggest taking big dick early to start the idol storyline, you can reduce it and get essence later if you wanted smaller one.

And to old players, is there a way to handle black/dredd and purple conflicts?

Hey, I got the secretary events with the step dad and got found by Alexis the first time we had sex. He said that this would never happen again and I lost a ton of respect and relationship with both.

I clawed my way back with both and I have them both on positive now. I am trying to get more content with the step dad and he is spying on me in the showers, I regularly invite him dancing but I can't seem to to get more positive stats from that anymore.

I searched through this thread but all I can find regarding sex with the stepdad are posts from 2024 or so. Is there any way to get him to have sex with the MC again or being caught by Alexis was really the end of it? Is there impregnation by the stepdad? I saw it mentioned before as a possibility but nothing official?

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give!

From my playthroughs, I've learned you got to play very conservative with dear old step-dad. Because once you trip the step-sis landmine, its over on fun time with step-daddy. Its worst when you had a great day before that, and some bad rolls get you having to redo the whole day.

did you download the media files aswell or just the patch files?

Edit: and did you place the media files in the right folder structure

My guess is Windows 11 hasn't actually unzipped it yet - Windows lets you open the .html without actually doing the unzip, so then the .html cannot actually see the images and other media. So I would recommend just making sure you have fully unzipped it.

I actually had the same problem once, my computer was running the game from the zip file and I was getting none of the images. It was kinda weird, till I went back to look for the unzipped folder and couldn't find it.

Yooo, experts here, please tell me any way to handle the Purple/Dred conflict if it is even possible, I would have loved to see trans content but if its bugging like hell, I would not, and purple bar girls are also very limited, only 1-2 updated for new version. Is it even supported.

And also, what is sissification in this game to be honest?
