Hola, ¿es posible que me haya perdido algo, o es que el sacaleches ahora es un artículo muy, muy difícil de encontrar?
 

If you convert an existing save—like I did—to update the mod, you notice that some mod items disappear. I’m going to check if there’s actually less content, though; I’ve seen the spawn values, and they shouldn't be that low—maybe the creator balanced things out and nerfed the spawn rate. In any case, we should hear what the mod's creator and developer has to say about it.

Hi again, just wanted to note the Lactation nerf is much better and no longer easily abusable - I do have another suggestion to add however if you're open to it; the Period system.

As it stands right now we have a Menstrual Cycle with Blood sometimes excreeting from the Groin area followed by the pain trait (unless you take the No Cramp trait) however periods and cycles kind of feel useless and unimportant to look at even for a roleplay aspect. If possible I think the addition of Tampons and MaxiPads / Sanitory Towels etc to combat the bleeding could be a nice way to counter the periods bleeding which should also be followed with debuffs.
On your period inately, you would either become more hungry, angry / aggitated or other types of mood swing esqe moodles. Those are just the ones I tend to notice personally. The blood could also cause your character to be uncomfortable as it soils your underwear or lower-body clothing (either Bloody, Wet or Dirty status) and you need to wash your clothes and character unless you have either a tampon or pad equipped (or in inventory if this is hard to code as an accessory or medical item). This would also negatively affect the Fear of Blood trait adding to the realism of embarrassment and panic of a sudden period. 

For added difficulty the Zombies could also be attracted to your characters moans and/or blood whilst on your period without a tampon or pad placed kind of like the sharks-smell-blood trope. As periods are painful the moans could play periodacally regardless or be eased with painkillers and the use of period aid items or simply staying inside your base to avoid unwanted noise and attention.

I hope you like my suggestion and I understand it may not be a major target on your list right now but I thought it might be a good idea to put a pin in if you liked it!

Also last thing, the Condoms and Used Condom sprites have been oddly broken for a while now showing as the item invetory sprite on the floor and not having an actual model or floor sprite, its a minor thing ofcourse but would be awesome to see implemented as it looks awful having this giant pixelated snakes on the floor.

Thanks for taking the time to read and love the mod as always, looking forward to future updates! ❤️

P.S. on the original mod page, there are some decent ideas others have made and I think are unaware that page isn't being looked at or unaware this page exists. Once I saw was the Baby you have could be put into an auto slot and automatically rip off your shirt and start feeding when hungry, different types of negative pregnancy oppurtunities etc. I would have a look: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/265282-mod-being-female/

One last bug I found: You can equip Fertile and then Hyperfertile to take a free -2 Points since I believe Hyper and Regular do not overlap (at least you can't equip Hyper Fertile before Fertile) unless you wanted to make this a thing you can do, alternitavely a Uber Fertile or something similar, this is something I believe is unintended.

 

Man, you are absolutely right—I feel the exact same way. I really hope they make these things a reality. I’d also love a healthcare system that addresses vaginal and uterine health—like having to get treated for infections or STDs if you contract them.

Hi @MavisXe, glad the lactation is more balanced now.

As for the menstruation suggestions, I will take a look to see what is possible and yes, condoms and used condoms does not have 3D sprites right now, that's why they appear weird if you drop them.

Oh, let me take a look at that thread you shared

Wow, it actually works. Listen, I don't know if it's just my save file, but all the stats reset to zero—though the bug itself is fixed. I tested the other mods I have and fixed some things there too, but what you suggested worked; I can see the menu now, Zomborut doesn't crash, and everything is there. Seriously, this is amazing. You should check it out yourself and see if you get the same result, though don't worry—I know how to tweak things to restore the values and get my character's knowledge and skills back.

Hi @didiblud, when you say "All the stats reset to zero", you mean Zomboid stats or my mod stats specifically? If you mean my mod stats, this would be expected, as I am using new mod "keys" the new version is basically a new mod with new stats.

Hello, is it possible that I missed something, but is the breast pump now an item that is very, very rare to find?
 

Hi, yes that is correct, I've changed the Loot distribution, the breast pump is now rare, as rare as First aid kits.

In version 2.02, the Contraceptive item cannot be used

Can you elaborate on this one?
Please notice there is some conditions to be able to use the contraceptive. So, if you already used it in the last day, is pregnant, or is infertile, it wouldn't be possible to use it.

Hola@MavisXeMe alegra que la lactancia esté más equilibrada ahora.

En cuanto a las sugerencias sobre la menstruación, echaré un vistazo para ver qué es posible y sí, los condones y los condones usados no tienen sprites 3D en este momento, por eso se ven raros si los dejas caer.

Oh, déjame echar un vistazo al hilo que compartiste.  

  

Hola@didibludCuando dices "Todas las estadísticas se restablecen a cero", ¿te refieres a las estadísticas de Zomboid o específicamente a las de mi mod? Si te refieres a las estadísticas de mi mod, es lo esperado, ya que estoy usando nuevas "claves" de mod; la nueva versión es básicamente un mod nuevo con nuevas estadísticas.

 

Hola, sí, es correcto, he cambiado la distribución del botín; ahora el sacaleches es raro, tan raro como los botiquines de primeros auxilios.

I mean all of them, literally every single one were reset to zero. But anyway, after quite a while and several hours of wrestling with debug mode, save files, playable character data, and the stat-reading system, I managed to get my character back to about 80% of the original. Obviously, some things were lost, but I managed to restore everything and my save is back to normal—and yes... all the stats had been set to zero.

你能详细解释一下这个吗？
请注意，使用这种避孕措施有一些条件需要满足。因此，如果你在最后一天已经使用了它，或者你现在怀孕了，或者属于不孕人群，那么就无法使用这种避孕措施了。

"What I mean is that the Contraceptive item is bugged—it cannot be used, the crafting recipes do not recognize it, and there is no 'Use' option when right-clicking it. This item worked properly in previous versions.I have tested this with only this mod and the translation mod enabled, and the issue still persists. You may want to check this item.

weird... for me the contraceptive is working as intended. Both from inventory right click and from crafting menu.

Are you sure your character does not have any of the following:

• Taken contraceptive in the last day (24h)
• Is pregnant
• Is in recovery phase
• Has Infertile trait

Alright, man, I tried a few things and managed to restore about 80% of my character in that save file I’m so attached to—all using debug mode tweaks. One thing I noticed is that partially removing the old version either deletes the "players" file or corrupts it; this prevents the save file from storing data about the active character, basically wiping out attributes and skills, setting strength or cooking levels to zero. When I modified the "players" file and swapped in a new one extracted from another game using the native "Being Female 2.0" mod, my character lost their inventory and clothes. I assume that happened because I pulled the data from a fresh character who had no clothes on.

However, something weird happened: when I loaded the game without debug mode, items glitched out, displaying icons and functions that didn't match the actual objects. To prevent total corruption, I deleted them. Finally, I checked if the new "playables" file extracted with the native mod worked, and it seems it does; now, when I enter debug mode to tweak attributes and give the character clothes and a weapon, the changes stick when I exit and save properly. Based on my theory and the Lua errors pointing to that file, it seems that if you delete the old version and install the new one, attribute and skill values get corrupted and reset to zero (in the "players 1" file). But if "Being Female 2.0" comes with a clean file for updating, it updates everything, meaning it restores the character to the state they were in during the previous game (or before being extracted from the save file). My theory is that if you create that clean character outside of an active game or save file, you might be able to make a character from an old save (using the previous mod version) compatible with version 2.0. ...that character).

I call this an "ego transplant"... though to avoid getting too carried away, you could just call it a "character transplant." This might allow for save-game compatibility between a version predating the mod and the new version that includes the new data readings you mentioned.

(Just to clarify: I actually used two identical characters; basically, I have a female character in the creator named Denissa Pollards... who is essentially the same as the one from my save file.)
I think I deserve something after all that hard work I put in yesterday. I'm not 100% sure if it works, I'll test it out today, but it seems to be running fine; I'll let you know if anything comes up... I'm really tired.

Hi @didiblud Yeah... unfortunately the Zomboid update broke something in the old versions and while I did fix that issue on the latest version, older versions does not have the needed fix, therefore it will break. a Test you can try in the file you want to salvage is simply removing the old mod and add the new one (PLEASE DO A BACKUP FIRST). The new version uses different "keys" for the data it saves on the player, so (in theory) should not clash with the old data. However I never tested to see if is safe to remove my mod and load a save.

 

Hi @sniper5047 While interesting, those ideas could not be everyones cup of tea, and they would require a lot of effort beyond the current scope of this mod

 

Hi @Haraldh. The general idea for the Zombolust integration is: Override their Fertilization handler and call the events needed. My mod should work without the zombolust, but in case ZomboLust is enabled, that handler is called (by ZomboLust) and that enables the animation and fertilization on Being Female side. (In theory, I am having a hard time testing that).
ZomboRut, In other hand, trigger events of my mod for the animations and Fertilization and Being female is wired up to listen for those calls and act accordinglly. It is basically two different ways of interacting between mods.

Ive tested removing all traits from our chars on a multiplayerserver  deleting items we had from mod  then starting without beeign female let the chars load up one time female was in recovery state before that  after that i added the 2.0 version without problems.
