DatDude's Demo Experiments

 

A common complaint on Discord: there just aren't enough sales demos, so the job gets stale fast. This mod fixes that. Five new alternate demos, more video variety, new NPCs, new dangers, and new ways to build your sexual reputation — plus 13 new achievements and a shared unlock system. It's also built so other modders can plug their own demos into the same system.

Be careful. These demos can get dangerous.

 

Hypnosis — a hypnotist with dirty tricks and a pregnancy fetish.
Barista — he doesn't care if you orgasm on a Dumb Bitch, so watch yourself.
Pharmacy — the pharmacist may hand you an unknown pill with nasty side effects, like a Resistance or a Breeder.
Pool Cleaner — a stay-at-home housewife who's... strangely normal. She's hot, she's lonely, give her some attention.
Realtor — a straightforward sale that doesn't stay professional for long.

 

New in version 1.9.0: a "Follow up" storyline at the mall. If you've completed a Barista demo while selling a Dumb Bitch pill, there's a new barista — Bexley — working at Jitters, inside the Paradise Mall. Meet her across repeat visits, and she won't stay the same girl for long: how you treat her leaves a mark. The visits can go more than one way depending on who you are and who else is around — including one run-in with Purple-Pill-Alexia. It comes with its own achievements to chase, and a spoiler-tagged content guide is tucked into the mod archive for anyone who wants the full map.

 

NEW: DatDude's Petal Rx Demo — a sixth demo, and a whole new way to get demos like it

 

This ships as its own, separate download on top of everything above (see INSTALLATION) — a sixth alternate demo, plus a system that makes marathon-length demos like it show up more than once.

 

Petal Rx isn't a pitch meeting, it's a full working day undercover as a client's own shadow rep. 

 

Gated the same way the others are: GoodGirl Basic or Max, at a healthcare (or tech, on the regular daily roll) company, once Alternate Demos are unlocked — no separate unlock needed if you've already got the main pack running. It shares its pill types with core's own GoodGirl demo, so if both ever show up the same day, the 1 AP switch trick described below gets you the one you actually want.

 

Big Demo Offers is the new delivery system: once you've unlocked every base-game pill's demo AND Alternate Demos, Michael starts occasionally putting a whale-tier "wholesale inquiry" on his desk — a full shift in somebody else's job, for a client worth giving up the day for. It also folds in the base game's own marathon demos (Hot n Ready, Insta-Strip, SECRET-ary, Dairy Queen), so those keep coming back as a repeatable top-tier lead instead of drying up once you've seen them. Your very first offer through this system is always Petal Rx. This ensures that the more time-consuming demos are actually worth some of the extra effort they require.

HOW TO UNLOCK

 

Hit sales level 2 at the Sales Job. Your boss pulls you into his office and clears you for "Experimental Demos." They're on by default — after that, use the notice board in the break room to toggle them off or back on anytime.

 

If another mod breaks the intro scene (Usagi666's "Cold Calling Interruptions," older versions of my own Cold Calling Improvements, or anything that touches the :: work options passage), there's a break-room failsafe that unlocks you directly. Either way, the sign-up toggle appears once you reach level 2.

 

WHICH DEMO DO I GET?

 

Each demo is tied to specific pills, and two also require certain company types:

Hypnosis, Barista, Pool Cleaner — any company.
Pharmacy — event, hospitality, marketing, lifestyle, spa, gym, tech, travel, healthcare, or maritime companies only.
Realtor — real estate, event, hospitality, marketing, lifestyle, service contractor, tech, or farm companies only.
Hypnosis and Barista both cover Dumb Bitch / GoodGirl Basic / GoodGirl Max, so on some days you'll qualify for either. When that happens you're randomly assigned one, with the other shown locked behind a 🔒. Spend one Action Point to unlock free switching between every demo you qualify for that day. No console commands needed — just play, and pay the single AP if you'd rather pick than leave it to chance.

 

Several new achievements are spread across all modded demos and follow ups.

 

INSTALLATION

 

You need:

 

- DatDude's Demo Experiments — all five demos, the Jitters follow-up, the unlock sequence, and the achievements. Requires base game 0.25.5 or later.
- DatDude's Petal Rx Demo (optional, but recommended) — the sixth demo and the Big Demo Offers system described above. Requires Demo Experiments 1.9.5 or later, and loads after it.

 

Install with the Official X-Change Life Modloader Utility. Do NOT extract the archives yourself — the modloader handles that, and it also loads everything in the right order.

 

CORRECTION, reversing earlier guidance on this page: it used to tell you to keep the "Sales Demo Framework Backport" mod installed, and that it was required. It is not, not anymore. The base game has shipped the sales-demo framework itself since 0.25.2, and both mods above now list the old Backport as INCOMPATIBLE rather than required. If you still have it installed, remove it. (The separate, long-dead "DatDude's Demo Framework" is a different, mod — still not used here.)
