There are only 3 files...   As shown in the image below.

 

Ahh, i was discovered earlier i am an idiot.  i saw the anal fix patch and thought i dont really need that since how often will that happen, was not aware it fixes other things.  Thanks again for the mod and the help.

 Hey guys,

 

whenever I enable the Sexdrive System from this mod I get the "blablabla Drug has worn off" effect with the black and white screen (see screenshots below). At first I thought it was the defbuff mentioned in the MCM that your character needs an orgasm. But it says in the pippoy under stats "not horny /satisfaction" and I already tried sex including "you just had an orgasm". Does anybody know if this is the mods problem or could it be on my side?

[piperdonough]

That sounds like a potential mod conflict with something else you have installed. In my game I've noticed Sex Attributes can sometimes cause minor complications, and it's not completely in sync either so ie. my character sometimes goes limp in the middle of a sex scene when SA "finishes" first. 🫠

 

(I'm working on mapping out a full overhaul of this mod, but it's still just a skeleton made of notes and ideas. No time frame since I can't work on it if sleep deprived, which would be at least 9 days out of 10. Very slow progress if any. The plan would be to take t_social, turn it into a t_core which provides support and cross-functionality to separate modules like raider/gunner module, dancing/bdsm, bw enhanced, and the ones I wanted to add including quest mods. I'm a bloody beginner trying to add to my own gameplay, who also has to learn every tool from scratch, so nobody should get their hopes up. 🙄 Any updates will be in their own thread when the time comes, if it comes, to avoid bloating this one.)

I like this mode, using it intensively. Starting a new play-though it seems to work as expected (first John sex scene, first beggar, fist dialogue with Pimp) only during the first interaction then after first sex scene i can't use again. NPC doesn't answer or react anymore. Tsex/whore switch work, all actions of tsex menu works as expected but NPC doesn't react anymore.

I can't find to understand what happen here.

Any idea ?

I've found that with bad boyfriends, the dialogue where you say you need some time alone and the BB then is supposed to stop accompanying you doesn't work. I've been trying to think of ways to trap the guy because i don't want to get rid of him but if you have an RSE abduction, he sticks around and keeps getting shot and screws up the experience.

Didn't see  these posts for some reason... not that I can really help... I got no idea what is wrong in either issue,. I am too far removed from the code now and this version has been through the shredder and reshuffled so many times that it honestly could be anything. (Don't ask... the development of TSEX/ HS2.0 was such a unbelievable clusterfuck, which is one reason I just had to end it, and release this in the misguided hopethat it honestly could be anything. that someone else would fix and finish it)  

 

Sorry. The stock answer is always, just play the normal version of Hardship, even though it lacks some of the coolest bits.

Quick heads up guys:

 

I made a bluesky account for "Tentacus", mainly cause I kept talking about my gamedev on my main and thought it might be better to seperate it so I can more freely talk about adult stuff. Follow me if you're on there (You should be) and are interested in me talking about developing my *upcoming game, giving ren'py tips... and maybe giving some modding tips if I feel nostalgic. Mostl;y though I'll probably be talking about H games I'm playing. 😁

[Vladel]

Oh yea it's understandable but I wouldn't go back to Hardship now, i much prefer T-Sex.

[MSEdgeView]

I saw you saying you should be using this only on a save without the original HARDSHIP. Is there a way to still do it on a save that had the original Hardship or is that just a no-go?

The problem is that the scripts are completely different in many cases and I don't think there is any reliable way to purge all the scripts from the save file. I just don't think it's worth the risk... certainly not on any saves you are precious about.

 

Personally I've done less responsible things myself though... so you do you. It almost always ends in tears eventually though.

Makes sense, appreciate the reply!

I've updated my driver and I think its just a me problem cause it seems like no one else is talking about it.
I have found that sleeping sometimes removes it, sometimes doesn't.
Its not giving me a seizure but it sure is giving me a headache.
I attached a video cause im not sure if i explained it well enough

 

 

I'm encountering the same bright screen pulse/flash as this guy did, but I don't have the better living through chemistry mod that he mentioned could be disabled to get rid of the problem. It only goes away when I disable the sex drive option in the TSEX MCM. I don't have better living through chemistry and I can't identify a mod in my order that could be similar. I'm on the nextgen patch, survival difficulty and have cannibalism active, but using addictal doesn't help. I reset Sex Attributes stats as well and that didn't do it. I'm wondering if anyone has found any other mods that cause this issue to pop up when running alongside TSEX.

[requiredname65]

If I recall correctly the sex need mechanism is build on top of vanilla addiction system. Those flashes are probably (partially) caused by visual mods (such as NAC) that apply somekind of image space effect on chem use / addition.

[pabaga1]

I've got a quick question, I remember when I first installed HARDSHIP gunnes would approach me and ask me what are you up to civie, after a while that stopped happening, im now trying TSEX -TSEX HARDSHIP and same thing happens gunners no longer approach me,  dialogues do work but just wondering did something change? Am i supposed to be the one approaching them?

[Kaotik]

At it's current state, should one choose Hardship or TSEX Hardship? Is there some notable benefits from the latter? 

Also, do Hardship scripts affect saves before the addon is enabled in the game? I haven't enabled the mod from MCM yet (and then again, I just got to red rocket so it wouldn't be too late to start over if need be)

There are only 15 pages on this thread. You probably could have found an answer before now.

As the mod's author I am proud of the stuff we did in the TSEX version... but on the rare occasions when I still play... (which I was today for the first time in months) I play the normal stable version... not TSEX. It's just way less busted and half-assed. 🙂

Has anyone had an issue where you get approached by your master but the next dialogue never triggers after you stop posing? Tried to search through the thread for a command that could possibly fix it but came up empty.

it keeps saying trauma system removed every 3 seconds, how do i turn it off?

It's a long shot but make sure real handcuffs is above hardship in the load order since it could be the main script resetting itself that causes you to see that. This would also break most of the mod's functions. Other than that try a reinstall, a corrupted file could conceivably cause this. (That includes corrupted requirements BTW so wouldn't hurt to reinstall AAF etc... too.) That's all I got for you. This mod is "Incomplete and unsupported" for a reason

It's been a good while but I looked in a archived source files and it's possible that version on the mod page still has TraumaTeam function that looks like this:

Function TraumaTeam()
    If _T_TSEXProps._T_TraumaSys.GetValue() == 1
        If UI.IsMenuOpen("VATSMenu")
            Return
        EndIf
        StartingTags()
        Utility.Wait(0.1)
        If _T_TSEXProps._T_TraumaCounter.GetValue() > 0 \
        && _T_TSEXProps.PlayerRef.HasMagicEffect(_T_TSEXProps._T_Traumatized) == False

            _T_TSEXProps.PlayerRef.EquipItem(_T_TSEXProps._T_GetTrauma, abSilent = true)
            Debug.Notification("You feel traumatized.")
    ...
    <snip>
    ; This was moved to _T_MCM_QuestScript OnMCMSettingChange function handler in some (later?) version
    Else
    	_T_TSEXProps._T_TagStart.SetValue(0)
        _T_TSEXProps._T_TraumaCounter.SetValue(0)
        _T_TSEXProps._T_GuiltCounter.SetValue(0)
        Debug.Notification("Trauma system removed.")
    Endif
EndFunction

 

And since TraumaTeam() is called from a Timer with interval of 3s, it's gonna show up constantly.

I don't know / remember. There might be a version where that was fixed in some message attachment, just floating around in this thread.
