⚠️ Mechanics & Maintenance

Durability Warning: Your gear isn't indestructible! By default, chokers have a chance to break if you are giving a blowjob to a man with a particularly long, thick cock. The strain is sometimes just too much for the hardware.

If your favourite accessory snaps, don't panic. Head over to the shop and speak to Candy, our resident bimbo shop assistant. She’s surprisingly handy with repairs and will tell you exactly how to get your gear back in working order.

📦 Optional Add-on: Neon Desires Wharf

i notice that if you use bruce owns bar and having a broken choker the dialog with bruce for it is not showing up. probably a compatibility problem and i would like to request that steps for compatibility would be made.

I will have a look into it, no promises though as it may not be doable

You need to update your mod loader

I had a look into it, its not really possible, it looks like talking to Bruce at any point forces you into the bruce own bar attack passage, which is custom to the mod and has a lot of conditionals as to what happens when you speak to him, there is one that has options, but getting into that is not possible without copying the passage and making a copy which means that this mod would have to be updated whenever that passage in Bruce owns Bar is, which is a lot of extra work. If you want compatability I would suggest contacting the creator of Bruce owns bar instead, as they're best placed to maintain this and insert it where appropriate into their mod code. The author has not be active since 9/02/2026 on the Discord so you might have to wait a while, sorry.

If you contact them, this is the code they'd need to add wherever they want it:

(if:(passage:"__mods__")'s source contains "Neon Desires")[
(if:(checkdm:$npc,"id","is","bruce") and (is_fem:))[
(if:$x_fans_choker_stuck is not "")[
<div class='options'>(link:"Tell Bruce about your broken choker")[
(cs:"bruce choker repair")
]</div>
]
]
]

Hello,

I'm taking a break from developing my mod, due to some mental health issues. However, I would like to help making our mods compatible to support our friend's gameplay.

If I understood right, you are suggesting to put the code above as a condition to call my "bruce own bar attack" passage?

In that case, I would just have to add the elses to call the attack passage if the conditions fail?

thank you very much

Not sure if it is this mod but it was the only one I updated today and now for some reason my save files are returning the following error:

Failed to load save data: State.deserialise did not return true. The save file might be corrupted or incompatible.

Sadly I deleted the previous version to test if it is the mod or not so no clue.

If there was anyway that I could get a copy of the previous version it would be appreciated so I could troubleshoot if it is indeed the issue. Until that time I either don't get to play or have to just disable any mod related to this one which sort of ruins my current run theme - all in the hope that this sorts itself out in an update if the mod was the issue to begin with.

I'm really sorry to hear that, hope you're getting the support you need and you'll be back to modding soon.

In terms of mod compatibility, I'm not 100% sure on how your mod works, but if you add that code wherever you want it to appear, as an option for the player to use, maybe in catcall reaction Bruce passage?

Which version was it? I may still have it but I also might not. I've not had any other reports of this mod causing any save corruption, and before it was spun off it was included in X-Fans for multiple releases, the files were just bundled into a different .zip file no new varaibles or anything have been added.

The last version was just updating some code as how it loads the items in Neon Desires, no actual varaibles or anything were touched, so I don't think it was this mod or the mod itself, as save corruption is normally caused by a varaible getting so large it breaks the save state is my understanding.

I would need 1.02 version to check.

Overall the only changes I have made with new mods in the recent past was your collection of X-Fans, X-Press, Neon, and Custom U. While I had them enabled I did not interact with them, I was on a playthrough being unemployed previous to that with no issues (could be that it perhaps didn't load things in due to not interacting with any of them but now that I do it borked somehow?) My saving was fine with the new x-press worker (had a save on day 17), computer bought but no X-Fans account set up (I did interact with the link but just backed out to main computer as I wanted to save joining for a bit later in the run. After what seems like only updating this from 1.02 to 1.03 was it when I now can't even make it to like day 5 before it just borks the save system. I even tried just disabling autosave and relying on manual saves but that just ends up doing the same save as 1 KB error.

I do run a ton of mods and could provide that list if it would help in any manner.

- Edit, I noticed you updated x-press (with a mention of possible save issue fix) and this so I am currently testing those being loaded.

-- So it seems that so far the updates of this and X-Press seem to be playing nice with no issues to saving. If it eventually borks I will check back in. Thanks for the mods and updates. Now to finally get around to making the account and trying out the X-Fans stuff.

Yeah sorry I didn't even think to mention X-Press. Sorry for the issue. I've had a few people reporting that the save issue seems fixed so hopefully it stays that way, I've been investigating the save issue with X-Press for like the past 4 days so hopefully all of that time and effort was worth it.

IF you have any more issues let me know
