I'm new to this game and didn't quite understand that the mod manager needs to be used. This is the first mod I attempted, and so I figured like other games I could just manually drop the files into the game folder and they'd work. Plus I thought I'd need an older version of the game, which likely didn't help.
Now that I know how this works, I'll put the proper version of the game in the folder and use the mod manager. I'm willing to bet things will go a lot smoother.
Edit:
Okay I was able to get it working... mostly. The game runs fine and male-male encounters happen. Everything looks good until my character sleeps for the first night, at which point I get a bunch of 'infinite loop' messages. I thought maybe it was a load order issue, so tried rearranging things to put the X-Change stuff on top, all the mod stuff after and then the patch. Didn't work.
I'm a total noob at this, so sorry for potentially dumb questions. One thing I was wondering though.. is 23.6 a new version that maybe isn't supported? I swear it was 23.5 when I first looked but now the game says it's 23.6
Edit Edit:
Oh, looks like the infinite loop is a thing that can happen with the new version? Saw it reported on Page 12 of the main game threat, and that was on Feb 3 so I guess it's still a thing.
