DatDude's Demo Experiments

 

One common complaint on the Discord server is that there aren't enough demos, leading to the sales job getting kinda... stale. Now there's more demos, with increased variety of video clips and mechanics! Mix up the workplace with new NPCs, new dangers, and new ways to raise your sexual reputation. This mod adds five new alternate sales demos, a shared unlock system for all of them, and ten new achievements — while also making it easier for other modders to plug their own demos into the same system.

Be careful — these demos can get dangerous:

 

- Hypnosis Demo — our hypnotist has some dirty tricks and a pregnancy fetish.
- Barista Demo — he doesn't care if you orgasm on a Dumb Bitch, so be careful!
- Pharmacy Demo — the pharmacist might have you take an unknown pill with dangerous side effects, like a Resistance or a Breeder.
- Pool Cleaner Demo — a stay-at-home housewife who's... strangely normal? Give her some attention, she's hot and she deserves it.
- Realtor Demo — a straightforward sale that doesn't stay professional for long.

HOW TO UNLOCK

Reach sales level 2 at the Sales Job. Your boss will pull you into his office and tell you that you're eligible for "Experimental Demos" — after that, check the notice board in the break room if you ever want to toggle them off (it's on by default, but you can always undo this). If a mod combination breaks the usual intro (Usagi666's "Cold Calling Interruptions," older versions of my own Cold Calling Improvements, or anything else touching :: work options), there's a break-room failsafe that unlocks it directly, so the sign-up toggle should still appear once you hit level 2 regardless.

 

WHICH DEMO DO I ACTUALLY GET?

 

Each demo only shows up for specific pills, and two of them also require specific company types:

Hypnosis, Barista, Pool Cleaner — no company restriction, any business.
Pharmacy — only at event, hospitality, marketing, lifestyle, spa, gym, tech, travel, healthcare, or maritime companies.
Realtor — only at real estate, event, hospitality, marketing, lifestyle, service contractor, tech, or farm companies.
Hypnosis and Barista both cover Dumb Bitch/GoodGirl Basic/GoodGirl Max, so some days you'll be eligible for either.

 

When that happens, you'll be randomly assigned one with the other shown locked behind a 🔒 — spend a single Action Point to unlock free switching between every demo you qualify for that day. No console commands needed anymore; just play, and pay the one-AP toggle if you want to pick instead of leaving it to chance.

 

Ten new achievements are sprinkled across all five demos using the base game's achievement system.

 

INSTALLATION

You need two mods right now, loaded in the official X-Change Life modloader.

Sales Demo Framework Backport (0.25) — a small compatibility mod. The base game is currently on v0.25 and doesn't have the shared demo framework built in yet, so this backports it.
DatDude's Demo Experiments — the actual content: all five demos, the unlock sequence, and the achievements.

Once the base game updates to v0.26 or later and ships the framework natively, delete the Backport mod entirely — it becomes redundant (and you shouldn't run it alongside the native version). Nothing else changes; the main mod keeps working as-is. Upcoming versions of the base game will warn you not to use the framework. 

 

You do NOT need the old "Demo Framework" that was previously distributed with this mod -- go ahead and delete it.

 

Install using the Official X-Change Life Modloader Utility. The modloader handles everything for you — do not extract the files from the archive you download, the modloader does that for you.

 

BUG REPORTS

 

Please report any bugs or issues on the X-Change Life Discord server, in the #mods-bug-reports channel. There's already a thread for this mod titled "DatDude's Demo Experiments" — if you run into an issue, please post there with a screenshot of the issue and your modlist. Much appreciated!

I absolutely love the idea.

I'm really looking forward to a finished scenario to play this.

[Indarello]

Hi great idea, will be waiting for updates.
Could you please update images to use similar style as base game? Because AI images by default look really bad

In wiki https://x-change.life/wiki/docs/creating-mods/
it says:
“For those who are curious, I use Prequel’s AI “Cartoon+” filter on images to get the cartoon look for images. Prequel is also weirdly expensive. It works best on high quality images and often needs post tweaking. From there I use Topaz Sharpen AI to polish up the images and make them more game-ready, since Prequel produces fairly low res looking stuff“

 

Will you add some side effects after hypno demo? I suggested one side effect about hypno in this mod, but not sure if it ever will be implemented:

On prequelized images VS AI: I'm not going to pay for prequel. Keep in mind that most of the base game images being added these days are AI-generated as well The barista demos images were a first attempt. While I do agree they are pretty ugly, I'm not going to re-make them using prequel. I would like to revisit them at some point though, using better models, facial consistency, and better lighting on the bodies. In particular the blonde barista girl could use some work -- her face changes significantly in literally every picture, and I think she looks way too young. That doesn't mean I'm ignoring your request! Just that I'm not going to pay for such an expensive app. I was able to prequel a couple of images for the hypno demo in the free version of the app, but it's really annoying to do so. And I'd like to just start those pics from scratch anyway.

 

Side effects after demos: maybe? But probably not any time soon. What's more likely would be integrating side effects from the base game, adding side effects supported by other mods, or using custom status indicators more (which both the current demos of mine do)

 

Thanks for enjoying the mod though! Please let me know if there's any types of demos you'd like to see, or if there's any issues you're encountering.

I probably won't check this out until after the next mainline update, but I want to leave a message in support of your endeavors. This is exactly the sort of thing the game needs more of, so good luck with it!

I appreciate the support! And thank you for your patience -- there's plenty left to work on for me with just these two additional demos. Lots of rare bugs & edge cases to handle still. Ideally once you're ready to try these out they'll be in a more perfectly functional state!

[RenFL2]

Want to report that there's no option to continue the coffee demo if you don't have minigames turned on. Usually there's a % chance to pass button.

Thanks for letting me know!! I hadn't considered that would need additional considerations, I thought that the minigames functions would handle that automatically.

 

Will add a fix soon, and make sure that both demos include the fix.

Can you share a screenshot of your mods folder so we can see how they're installed?

[Lenixia]

You need to add the mods in the Demos folder as well.
In total there should be like.... a buncha .twees you're going to end up adding.
Now that I've solved it myself.

There seems to be some ongoing confusion on how to install mods in .zip files in this thread. For reference, this is what your modloader should show when installing the demo experiments mod.

You should be using the modloader to select the zip files -- not unzipping them or using the zip files contents. This will ensure that you're not missing anything.

aha thank you! I did have this misconception, and I'm thankful you took the time to correct it.

Well first  of all, I believe I have installed it all 3 correctly, though, I have had a goodgirl barista and a db-barista run in my current game, though no Hypno demo just yet, is that a special kind of buisness that is needed for that to pop up? and well then there is the payment, for these demoes, i get acredditted for a succesfull sale then the next moment when back in the bedroom the money, I believe fall back to what it was prior to payment for the demo(I believe this to happen with both GG-barista or DB-Barista?

 

just curious. ? 

[danishplay]

just wanted to say I have gotten the hypno demo now, and i think I might have gotten the pay for it. but I do not think i got it for the other?

The new maid job has some missing pill features - You can't get any data values, let alone the string "maid pool cleaner", from the number 0

When applying this new set of mods I am running to the following error when applying

 

 

I find it very odd that one of your mods conflicts with the other so I have to assume that the issue is with another mod I may be using.

 

Any ideas what may be causing this?

[RenFL2]

I don't see the option to opt into the alternate demos. I also never got the event with the boss saying it's available. Maybe because I got promoted too quickly?
