I've tried to fix some bugs in the latest Feb 24 patch - maybe give that version a try?

Not seeing any improvement. I inserted the following into the morning activity select passage and the result is always 35. The output is an error message because I didn't use the right syntax, but the error message does print out what the pill timer value is at the time.

(set:_message to it + $bruce's "pill timer")

Is there a way in game currently to aquire and use the pills from SWP, Instagirl, and WANGL outside of the demo experience? Mod or console is fine.

I got a little lost. I have 50 points for the Beach crew and is deemed ready. No idea where to go next.

 

Seconded, I'm at 50/50 points and don't know how to progress - is the next step in the quest not implemented yet? Just wanted to check I'm not looking for something that doesn't exist lol 

 

This is such a great game, I had a little look at the roadmap and I am SO excited for future updates!

That's as far as that quest line has been written. You can go to the same site the roadmap is on and look at unique sex scenes to see what content there is. Doesn't look like it was updated for 0.19 content though.

hey there, in the present game I am playing i have apparently ended up in a submissive relationship with the stepfather fellow, I guess, mostly due to trying the secretary thing, and wanted to know if there where a way to get permission? or if there where a specific day/days where he would not interfere with any of the "boyfriends" coming over, or is some of them could somehow be considered ok, as I had tried building a goodlooking, possibly well mannered, clever, rich guy with the boyfriend editor thingy, for a possible father for a child, as there was a few of the present guys he mentioned he kinda approved of, before the whole secretary thing that went a bit further than i thought it would. or do I have to break up, and if so what happens then, could I possibly reignite it by, say if I did some more secretary work thingyes, just curious 🙂

You can reestablish dominance with stepdad. That will cause him to fail the roll and not interfere. I don't think the boyfriend matters, if stepdad passes both the attraction and dominance checks then he will interfere. Depending how much submission you've built up, it could take a few secretary encounters but if you don't select sub options and focus on pleasure instead, you will get dominance points. Also if you have high sub, trying to select dominance options will switch them to sub instead. I racked up quite a bit of extra points before I realized that was happening.

Oh I see, thank you for the information, I will try an see if can do that then, 🙂

I think I found a typo in the "work notice board" passage.

 

(else-if:$sales_job's "push vendor" is "instagirl")[*Looks like they want us to push SWP products today.*]

 

Looks like SWP here should be Instagirl instead.

I discovered this addictive little gem a few days ago. Even though it is highly geared towards "straight men", it is very playable for more "fluid" men and of course women as well. My compliments to you @l1lym and crew! I am looking forward to what you come up with next. Also my thanks for the people commenting on the forums. Diving right into this game, quite a few things were not very clear, but your comments sorted them out. So yeah, thank you all as well.

 

Now, a few questions/ criticisms/ suggestions:

I understand the mini-games are a way to progress/ changes stats and outcomes. But why are they on the video-player screen? Especially the Secretary scenario has the whole Wordle like thing taking up the screen and no way to get rid of it. I am not sure if this is standard or if a mod changes it, but it is very annoying. As a besides, I despise Wordle, which makes it extra annoying. Also, at least to me, it is not very clear what you are supposed to do with it.  Perhaps it is an idea to make a separate window for the mini-games or at least the wordle thing? (maybe an option to just... turn it off completely? And those blocks are also kinda... no. Another idea could be to just make all the mini-games use the arrow/WASD-keys? Those are the least distracting. Just ideas of course.

 

Another thing that I would love to see is the option to spend time with the family. You only bump in to Alexia in the shower (what is she doing in MY shower anyway?) or when she wants a ride. And the stepdad when (not) cleaning. I think it would be interesting to have more interaction with them, like a family night?  Having a meal and play games like strip poker, naked Twister or what ever? At least as an option other than "Do Nothing" or the club/bar in the evening.

 

A final idea: make the game OPTIONALLY even more fluid sex/ gender wise by adding MM FF FFM FFF FMM MMM and what have you content, for those interested in that. Emphasis on optional, cos that is definitely not everyone's cup of tea.

 

Lastly a question, can anyone explain to me what the serum thing is about? I have read the wiki and such, but it is just not clear to me. Any help would very very much appreciated.

 

Please keep doing what you are doing lilym and crew and modders.

 

[danishplay]

Just a little question, I have gotten a proposal from the new desk guy, something with the workers, once a week and possible a specific time, somewhere else, but I need to be in the secretary mode. But I cannot seem to find out how to get that, can anyone help here?

To see where development is heading currently

https://x-change.life/wiki/docs/x-change-life-roadmap/

 

You might be interested in the Skill Roll Secretary mod and/or the skip minigames option in the cheat menu. If you're unfamiliar, at the start of a new day click the menu button. Then game settings. Somewhere toward the bottom there is a yellow box on the left-hand side. That is the cheat menu.

 

The serum was developed because SWP Inst-Strip causes penalties if your body comes into contact with cum. To activate it, after injection you need to orgasm. One point of protection per orgasm. So in the Inst-Strip scenario you will need to orgasm three times before they finish, to be fully protected.

Thank you. Disabling the minigames (except the identity crisis, cos skipping makes you always lose) makes a lot of difference. I had no idea there was a build-in cheat menu. Guess I should read the wiki better? Though it seems a lot of the newer features are not described?

[ButchDiavolo]

Another question: how can you diagnose which mod is causing errors? I am getting a lot of "can't find X in a datamap" etc. errors, which I would like to resolve. But I totally ignorant of the system the game plays on, so bug hunting is more than challenging. Especially if you don't know which mod is causing it.

 

I am also getting quite a few occasions where you play through the day, go to sleep and the screen refreshes to show only a ]. When you refresh the screen, you get thrown back to either the start of the day you just finished, or the last time you changed clothes on that day. Which is again a bug hunt, but well... see before.

 

I have tried following the "mod-results.txt", which handily shows conflicts. I managed to get the conflicts down to a minimum, by changing mod names. I read a comment by one of the modders, that the mods are loaded alphabetically, so by changing the mod names, the frameworks are now loaded first and are overwritten by mods that hook into them and overwrite their edits. Which was a mind-blowing/ game changing comment. As I said, that cut down the conflicts, by about 50%. But I am still getting the bugs I mentioned before. Just to emphasise: I had these bugs before and after the load order changes.

 

And pointers would be, as always very much appreciated.

[Jianna Demarest]

Diagnosis is a bit of a hunt. My general method is to isolate the ones that affect similar areas of the game, if not the same passage, and experiment with one or the other. There have been a couple of cases where it was as simple as "I forgot to check if there was an update to a mod". That one's especially true when I get datamap errors. I hit the mod thread and turns out I missed an update or the version I have has a typo and it was already reported but I missed it, or other silliness on my part. I've never seen the screen refresh that you described, but saw someone on Reddit with a screenshot that sounds similar. Their modlist was a bit of a wreck though, so I don't think it was narrowed down and identified. Here's the link if you want to see it: https://www.reddit.com/r/XChangeLife/comments/1bl9qo4/ok_wtf_lol/

Yep, that is exactly what I (sometimes) get. Just the ] on a black screen. The poster said it is random for him/ her, for me it has (so far?)  always been when going to sleep.

 

I spend the time since I posted this going through my mod list with a fine toothed comb, opening the twee files and checking the headers. I found a few mods that were NOT for the 0.19 version. The "problem" when finding a new game by chance and you like it, that you go on a mod download/ install frenzy. And pretty much don't take versions into account. In my case I thought they would be backwards compatible... Erm, nope.

Well OK, some are. You can see which, by opening the twee files and look at the "version" information at the top. If the info says "at least (version number)" (i.e. BR.BG.Framework.2b), it is/ may be compatible. If it says "0.19 (exactly)" or similar (i.e. BR.Pills.mod), mods for older versions ARE NOT compatible. This way you can make extra sure if the are compatible, especially if the mod title doesn't include a XCL-version number.

 

My current mod list is this:

Spoiler

bardrug 2.7 hq.zip
BR.BG.Framework.2b.twee
BR.pills.mod.twee
Brrtz-More Bar Character Avaible .2.1.twee
Buddies limit.twee
DatDude Cold Calling Improvements 1.0.3.zip
Demo Framework All-In-One 1.3.8.zip
DeStripperJob1.19.6.twee <- renamed stripperjob, to make it load before the Dreddful modifications
Dreddful Gambling 18b.twee
DreddfulEndings1.19.1.zip
Drug_Framework_2.0.13.twee
Drink_Spikes_1.0.4.twee
Fuckbuddy Options.twee
mandatory_sales_demos.twee
MultipleCharactersFramework1.6.6.zip <- renamed XCLMultipleCharactersFramework1.6.6 to make it load earlier
SizeSelectorV1.0.twee
UpgradeLeads.twee
Work Stats v1.0.twee
XCL Spike Fun v0.7.0 - MEDIA.xcl
XCL Spike Fun v0.7.9 - CODE.xcl
XCL u666 Modlet - Coworker Attitude Adjustment.twee
XCL u666 Modlet - Gym Approaches.twee
XCLSkillRollBedroomSexFix.twee
XCLSkillRollSecretary019-1.twee
XCLUpdatedCheats.twee <- renamed UpdatedCheats by TFX to make it load last

 

I haven't played with this new adjusted list though. And I still need to find out what the deal is between BR.Pills and Spike Fun. Those two bite each other immensely. Unfortunately Spike Fun doesn't have a twee file, so you can't check compatibility etc.

 

Anyway, thank you so much again for your help. If I find out anything more, I will post it here. Maybe it will help others.

 

Oh as a P.S.: about changing mod names, keep the original name as intact as possible! Especially if other mods depend on them.

Examples: if you want to load XCLMultipleCharactersFramework1.6.6 earlier, rename the zip file to MultipleCharactersFramework1.6.6.zip. Some mods add XCL to the mod name to load them later. If another mod is supposed to overwrite them, remove the XCL part. And ADD XCL to the mod that needs to overwrite.

If you want to load a mod earlier, because they have to be overwritten, but don't have XCL in front, like StripperJob, add a few letters in of the zip file name, to it loads earlier alphabetically. In my case DeStripperJob, because the Dreddfull mods, change it. In my case using i.e. DaStripperjob (cos it sounds cooler?), would put it above DatDude's mod. I am guessing that would OK, but I prefer to keep mods very close together.

 

[ButchDiavolo]

*sigh* Yeah, so like me again.

 

First about changing mod names, I found the info here:

 

Then about XCL Spike Fun, which causes all the "problems"... actually READING the mod description helped *eye roll*. XCL Spike fun needs to load as one of the last mods, because it is supposed to overwrite the other mods. It hooks into, for example BR.Pills, as a framework, so ALL conflicts are intentional and not "dangerous".

 

Just goes to show that sometimes it is better to keep your virtual dick in your virtual pants and READ first

Just popping in to thank you for posting your method and sources. It's super helpful. If nothing else, it reminded me that I was supposed to change my mod order this morning and completely forgot🤦🏽‍♀️

I was wondering if there to the next version of the game could be added, that if the outfit is not too outrageously naugthy(perhaps be able to go further up over time), and it has had, what is indicated a positive interactions with a "boyfriend" not sure if it should also hinge on wheter or not there is/has been a "relationship" between pc and the stephfather. but that he said something like: you look nice or something along that line from time to time. I mean him mumbling over some clothes that has a, is it sexappeal, or sexyness?  of 1 or 2 seems a little wierd. I mean I could understand if it where 7, 8, 9 or 10.

 

just curious 🙂 

 

PS. due to having a pregnancy in my present game, and had the whole contact the father thing happen, I had an idea more, not sure if it is a good idea for the game, but here goes, what if that contact the father thing could be done after one has dragged the guy of to there room(this being something for the good guys), hey perhaps have a meet the familly thing 🙂(just kidding) but prior to having sex, I mean if the guy is a bad guy he will only pay if he can come over for a quickie I think, so why not reward the good guys. just a few thoughts?

This is base game behavior, added with handbags. When you say the shop is bugged, what do you see? Do you have enough money to buy? Did you make sure to select a handbag first?

the shop comes up with different handbag choices all lumped together with no indication of price and clicking them does nothing, also above them is the little image missing icon that appears when an image cant or isnt loading so maybe when i updated the game it didnt load some things? not sure what the go is.

thanks for the help though, i dont think its a lack of funds, the character i tried to buy it with had over $10,000, also tried it with a fresh game to incase it was a corrupted save but the issue remained so it doesnt appear to be that.

cheers.

I see the problem now. The button to buy (and the details of each bag) is imbedded in the picture that isn't loading. I would suggest downloading the full game again and doing a clean install.

This thing is impossible to download. You have the download linked to MEGA, but the filesize is so large the site tried to charge me AFTER 3 HOURS OF DOWNLOADING. So I try straight from the GitHub. Still downloading 4-5 hours later at 1mb/s. Doesn't make sense to me. You really need to find a way to cut back on the filesize or improve the download sources as I imagine a majority of people who look into getting your game just give up. I've tried 10 times this month to get it to download but it never fing works and I'm tired of having my badwidth tanked from downloading this zip-bomb.

Having same issue with MEGA, but when I try to download from Pixeldrain, it gets stuck at about 250mb
