do i just press 'apply' and restart the game? or do i need to do anything else?

so, been playing with the mod and i noticed some things that i thought felt off, and i'm not sure anyone else has mentioned them yet so i'm just gonna list some things i noticed.
1. despite there being an incest scene with Emily and Tisha, and Emily expressing enjoyment over the act, when I 'Talk' to her and ask her how she feels about incest she expresses disgust.
2. Less of an issue and more of an idea; with the option to 'erase' people's personality's and in-game memories (Using amnesia potion on Chloe, getting the bad end of Cali's sidequest and turning her into a pet, etc) i was thinking that you should add a whole new trait to them. For example, you get 'Gratitude' from any NPC you help out in their sidequests, but you can also get it by erasing their memories and turning them into sex-pets; which bothered me for some reason. So maybe you could make a new trait; call it, i dunno, something like 'Ingrained' or 'indebted' or something, for if you take that kind of route when finishing up a character's sidequest.
3. some grammar errors with the 'sex-text' and some issues where instead of flavour text i just get 'error/colour/sample/text_yellow' or something like that.
4. this could just be a base-game issue and i'm being dumb but hey, figured I'd mentioned it. I got a pop-up letting me know about an 'abuse' feature, something about being able to 'abuse' prisoners, and i think its supposed to act as an extra option in the interaction menu but im not sure. Anyway, if this is an option i'm not seeing it show up anywhere, and searching the game's guide and wiki dont bring up anything so i'm leaning toward it being a mod thing. I'd just like tyo know what that actually is, because i can't do it. Whatever 'it' even is.
5. I noticed that if i stuff a character's vagina with nut-butter, she inflates. not an issue. when i nut exclusively in her vagina and the text says "she has started drooling and coughing up cum working its way up from her ass" I'm like 'bruh, bodies don't be like that doe'. pliz explain.
6. I gave my character a massively massive long-schlong, okay? his name is big-dick silver-prick and he aint no small boi in the nut compartment either. I adore Maple. Maple is tiny. I fucked Maple. "Maple's pussy has been stretched, it is now 'tiny'." My long-john-big-schlong should have left that tiny fairy girl gaping like a bystander of 9/11, yet she just struts about all happy and stuff while the text torments me with " Maple's pussy has been stretched. It is now tiny". C e a s e this torment
that's about it. apart from that though, this mod is great!
1) That is a scripted vanilla event and not tied in to the fetish system at all. Unfortunately, altering that to tie into the system would be a huge chore and probably break a lot of things. Maaaaybe one day.
2) I'll keep that idea in mind
3) If you get a screenshot of the issue I'll definitely take a look at it.
4) There used to be a system (in vanilla) to abuse via the Talk system, but all of that was replaced by the Interaction menu. That is where you can torment/torture to your hearts delight, I think the other is just a description from before that change.
5) That description was just a quick "Lets get this thing released" and works off swollen level and not location. It will be fixed in a future version.
6) This one is a weird back and forth issue. I had the system set to stretch fairly quickly and (possibly) accurately, but the primary complaint was that every character was ending up stretched and torn. I drastically lowered the amount that someone will stretch per encounter for popular request, however left the setting as an option in expansion.gd (near the top, under settings) for you to be able to manually select your chance of stretching. The values are: stretchchancevagina = 50, stretchchanceanus = 50.
With regard to stretching: the amount and chance of possible stretching in a single session is currently alright, but tightening is kind of an issue.
1. It happens way too fast. I spent a week trying to stretch Cali enough that I could fuck her without risking tearing, but gave up because she was tightening at least as fast as I was building up stretch.
2. Minimum tightness is a bit too low, particularly on vaginas. Seems like 90% of characters have a minimum (which due to the above problem they're nearly always at) of "tiny," no matter their age. Adults shouldn't naturally tighten below average once stretched past it, and teens should only have a chance of doing so
There aren't at this point. That isn't really something I'm interested in as I feel the prevalence of beastkin/halfkins fills that fetish fairly well. Considering the animals don't persist after the scene and are just there as a temporary "here, have another penis" method, I'm not sure what the benefit would be. I could see it more if the animals were persistent, trainable, had traits, etc...but then that's a whoooole new system.
Breeder - of course, plays as normal
Commander - extra xp and learning points for slaves; however slaves cost more
Lab Master - Free Lab; more modification = higher selling price; slaves faster disobedience
Cultist - can create slaves (cost a lot of mana)
As well as modifications to existing classes
It just seems the vanilla Mansion.gd is a house of glass.
There is currently an issue with the way the game reads multiple partners. It displaying that twice is because it reads and displays all members of the giver/taker groups together. What that would actually mean is that Maple's vagina would be 2 sizes larger than your penis and Chloe's would be 3. Asses are sized differently than vaginas, so that would explain the difference with that. I'm assuming one has a Huge vagina and one has Loose. Is that accurate?
It may be misreading and calculating both together, though I haven't seen that happen in my experience.
Someone else had the same problem, either an installation problem or mod compatibility issue. /post/1058930
Ah, yeah, it's ElPresidente's that's the issue then. Can't figure out where exactly the incompatibility is though
EDIT: Alright what the fuck, on_lab_pressed() is identical between vanilla and EPT, and Aric's doesn't even touch it... how is there even an issue here?!
Another EDIT: Welp, just got rid of laboratory.gd from EPT and somehow it works now. Whatever
I've loaded this up for the first time and my first impression is that it is a little cluttered with information, particularly with the new traits. I think the movement trait can be hidden for walkers so only flyers and crawlers are shown. The genital traits could be in the character description, alongside the genital description, instead of in the trait summary.
Alright, so I have been adoring this mod so far. It gets a little clunky here and there, but not any major complaints about that here. One thing that is really bugging me though is that a few of my girls (particularly the ones with good milk flow traits) lactate so much in a single day that it gives them 800+ stress, even after I've done everything in my power to alleviate it from the previous day. You can imagine how frustrating it is to have your favorites have a mental breakdown each damn day. While I am rolling in cash from a couple of them, the ones I actually want to keep around the mansion are fucked. And not in the good way. Is there any way to help with this (since I'm an absolute dumbass and might not have seen an obvious solution) or should I just wait for updates? I know a few people have asked similar things, but I didn't want to get rid of the mod in the meantime since I'm enjoying it. sincerely, a horny on main lesbian who hopes this comment isn't too unbearably annoying.
Came here to report the same issue. While we're at it, there should probably be a point where slaves stop producing milk if they aren't pregnant or being milked regularly. I have one slave that had a baby once, and now is constantly producing milk (luckily without this bug, so an enchanted sundress is enough to keep her at low stress, but still). It's also just a lot of busywork to have to milk them through sex or rotating them through the farm, adding an option to allow them to milk themselves (which wastes it but keeps them lactating) would be nice.
There is/was that feature, Swgor. If you go to the expansion.gd file in the mod and go to the option in settings (at the very top) named “lactationstops”, just turn that from false to true (lower case). That will trigger the system that will have a chance to stop lactating daily (increasing in chance every day they aren’t milked).
It’s annoying to have to edit the game files, I know, but after the farm overhaul I’ll work on making settings editable in game
just a thought i figured would be nice to throw out there.
SFP is like, the only game of this kind. with enslavement and impregnation and noncon and all sorts of other fetishes; i haven't come across a single other game even remotely similar to this yet and trust me, i've been looking.
just thought i'd throw that out there. makes you appreciate Strive a little bit more.
Free Cities (more specifically, FC Pregmod) is also great for this - though it lacks the RPG elements and involved sex system Strive has. Fantastic in other ways though.
Free Cities, Pytfall(although focuses more on rpg elements over slavery atm), whoremaster (use crazys mod) to name a few. IMO though, free cities and strive will be your best bet. Pytfall feels the most similar to strive. Yet entirely different. Whoremaster is very old, and I havent played it in a very long time, but crazys mod just got updated not long ago, maybe worth a shot. Personally I enjoy them all to some extent.
One thing that really annoyed me in the base game was the amount of time the slaves spent outside the mansion after level up requests. You could easily find half your slaves away on rotation all game long with grade increases and holidays. I fixed this in my own mod and it would be quite easy to put into other mods too.
In jobs&specs.gd, var leveluprequests, add a vacation requirement of 'person.metrics.ownership >= 7' and a slave won't ask for a holiday until they've been with you seven days. Add improvegrade requirement of person.level >= 4 and only the experienced slaves will be asking for a grade increase.
Go ahead.
Adding automatic enchantment naming should be straightforward too. In enchantments.gd there's a line
enchant.descript = "[color=green]" + tempenchant.name.replace('&100v', str(enchant.effectvalue*100)).replace("&v", str(enchant.effectvalue)) + "[/color]"
I made more complex changes in my mod but something like this should work fine.
var desc = tempenchant.name.replace('&100v', str(enchant.effectvalue*100)).replace("&v", str(enchant.effectvalue))
enchant.descript = "[color=green]" + desc + "[/color]"
item.name += ", " + desc
Since you mentioned you're doing a combat overhaul, a nice QoL feature would be if we could set a "standard inventory" the game would try to fill at the start of each day. So, something like automatically put 2 ropes, 5 bandages and 3 supplies in our inventory and put everything else in the mansion at the start of the day.
so, a friend of mine who plays strive almost religiously - he has 14,000 in game days worth of gameplay - told me he was making a mod for it; i didnt catch it all, because he's weird and talks like his mouth is attached to an F1 racing car, but apparently he's making a mod that makes the game more...wholesome?
like, proper wholesome stuff - holding hands and skipping through daisy fields, marriage, monogamy with the person you married, etcetera.
just thought i'd let you all know in case it ever does get done and it shows up here.
its both stupidly insane and insanely stupid and i want him to finish it just to see what that would be like.
Edit: I got more details on what he's adding.
- Consensual romance system (Marriage, friends-to-lovers, captive-to-lovers, etcetera)
- Dating/marriage/mourning (If your partner dies you can mourn them, only enabled when permadeath is enabled)
- Emotions system; adding spells so you can see the emotional state of people, not just their stress levels.
- (Ties in with emotions system) A way for your character to do more than just rape/kill/leave anyone they capture after a battle. Will be adding the ability to 'woo' bandits and enemies, sometimes even bandit capture victims.
- More random first names/surnames, some characters will come with their own nickname.
- This bit confused me but i'll see if anyone here can parse out what he means. "A way for your kids to act independently from their creator, sometimes acting as mercenaries without it being a setting." the only thing i can guess this is, is that the kids your character has can...set their own jobs? idk
- Patricide/Matricide; Setting it so that, if you don't treat your kids well enough, they'll express a desire to leave, kill you, or become disobedient. This one sounds sweet tbh.
So yeah, I'm not seeing how he's gonna do this to be honest, but he's done a lot of modding for different games before so...im just gonna trust him and go 'do it or don't'.
I love seeing new modders hit the scene and add more content! If there's anything that I can do to help your friend, just let me know! I think that'd be a fun addition. The marriage concept has been mentioned and I had something similar slated for a future version but if he makes it and we work out some compatibility, I'd be happy to see it!
The Independent Actors idea (regarding the kids idea) with "squads" that can be sent out is something that is very likely going to be happening in the Town Expanded update building off of the persistent NPCs format. Its tricky to get to play nicely, but very doable. Good luck to him and I look forward to seeing it!
I found a bug months ago where the farm panel was opened in background behind the character detail in the mansion, but only when a character was selected in the character list. I think Ankh fixed this in the main code but this mod still carries the original bug (presumably as it copied an older version of the file).
At the start of on_farm_pressed in mansion.gd you can add the lines
_on_mansion_pressed()
yield(self, 'animfinished')
and this seems to act as a general reset for the UI, fixing this problem.
I have a request, I really like Darin's Chastity mod but its not compatible with the newest version of rebirth. and given his last activity was over 2 months ago I was wondering if you were think of creating something similar, or maybe you could ask if he wants to just have is mod be picked up by you? I really like the idea of orgasm blockers and it kinda sucks that I have to choose between the 2.
Until a recent find, the game has not supported modding on MacOS. This post(/t/628179/how-to-make-mods-work-on-mac-osx-without-wine) details a new method found for enabling mods on MacOS. He even wrote a guide for Aric's mod. If it works, please let us know.
@ankmairdor I followed this guide, and i indeed got the male & female portraits working but when checking the "talk" selection i still have the default 3 options, as well as checking the customization on new game after enabling the Aric mod along with portraits tho im very unexperienced with enabling modes other than hitting apply and opening the game, I'm unaware if something i did not do didn't register or what tho. I may just have to attempt tomorrow on my desktop. any further insight would be appreciated, tho you did already provide tons of assistance.
:D
There were reports of the daily log not appearing, mainly there was an incompatibility with save files from prior versions of the game. /t/542925/bug You'll probably want to edit the save file to fix the problem as my bugfix on Discord is not compatible with Arics Mod. There are some significant differences between 0.5.24 and 0.5.25, so I would not expect Arics Mod to work on it.
As a side note, I am curious if MacOS boots the game with 2 windows: the game and a terminal for error messages.
Gotcha, well i did have the 0.5.25 for all the modding attempts i was doing, seeing it not function i have switched over to .24 as of right now, will attempt running it on my pc tomorrow with the edits after i've completed them. i'll try looking into that fix for log if i can get the mod to work. onto your side note, it does not boot with multiple windows, the terminal is able to be opened in the file(i think, i actually have no clue how to use those) but the game .app is the only thing that boots up on Mac
So, a complaint; a big one.
I have 1000 in game days logged with this character and her starting slave, right? so, i have held off the urge to sex her up because i've been too busy managing the other slaves and playing through the campaign. so, i finish the campaign, i have every upgrade possible and the mansion basically runs itself at this point, so i go 'why not'.
i knock her up.
she accrues 597 stress over the course of ONE NIGHT, and dies after four days because she accrued 1,000 stress after a single day of lactation. she was my favourite slave, broken to all hell with max stats and she could one shot near everything. she was INVALUABLE. she was tough as shit, shrugging off eight bandits wailing on her for five minutes straight with barely a dent to her health.
she died to a single night of lactation.
discuss.
EDIT: no screenshots because i accidentally forgot to, but the point stands.
That is the most extreme version of this bug that I've heard (and I am sorry to hear that about your slave, I really hope you had saves and/or working autosaves to reload) but that general bug is part of what escalated the Farm Expansion update to the one that I've been working on now. That is the active issue that I'm working on and will be fixed.
My files are all over the place with the new update so I haven't tested this specific code yet but this should limit the stress that slaves can get from Lactation (dramatically limit it). If you're comfortable with editing files, open up expansion.gd in Notepad++ or something and search (Ctrl+F) for dailyLactation. Copy/Paste over everything from #Pressure Stress and Swelling to #Keep the Secret with the following. Hopefully that'll let you keep playing on that save (ideally from a day or two before it went haywire) without that issue.
#Pressure Stress and Swelling
pressure = person.lactating.milkstorage - person.lactating.milkmax
pressure = clamp(pressure, -10, 10)
if pressure > 0:
#Chance at Swelling
if globals.titssizearray.find(person.titssize)*3 < pressure && rand_range(0,100) <= globals.expansion.chancelactationincreasetits + pressure:
if globals.titssizearray.back() != person.titssize:
text += "$name's "+ str(person.titssize) +" "+str(nameTits())+ " were so filled and full of pressure that $his body could only handle it by "+str(nameStretching())
person.titssize = globals.titssizearray[globals.titssizearray.find(person.titssize)+1]
var hpdamage = round(rand_range(pressure,pressure*2.5))
text += " to "+ str(person.titssize) +".\nThis caused damage to $his health. [color=red]" +str(hpdamage)+ " Health Lost[color]"
#Inflict Damage. They won't die from it though.
if person.health - hpdamage <= 0:
person.health = 1
if person.energy - hpdamage >= 0:
person.energy -= hpdamage*2
else:
person.energy = 0
text += "Due to $his extremely poor health condition, $his energy has been drastically reduced as well by the incident.\n[color=red]" +str(hpdamage*2)+ "Energy Lost[color]\n"
else:
text += "\n"
person.health -= hpdamage
#Apply Pressure Stress
if globals.fetishopinion.find(person.fetish.lactation) >= 3 || person.traits.has('Masochist'):
person.lust += pressure
text += "$name's " +str(nameTits())+ " are so "+str(nameStretched())+"that $he would normally feel incredibly stressed by it. Instead, $he is simply [color=green]turned on[/color] by the pain of $his swollen " +str(nameTits())+ ".\n$He gained [color=red]"+str(pressure)+ " Lust[/color]\n"
elif globals.expansion.settings.lactationstressenabled == true:
person.stress += pressure
text += "$name's " +str(nameTits())+ " are so "+str(nameStretched())+" that $he constantly feels the pain from $his achy " +str(nameTits())+ ".\n$He gained [color=red]"+str(pressure)+ " Stress[/color]\n"
person.lactating.pressure = pressure
#Keep the Secret (if Possible)
unfortunately all of the autosaves are quite literally just after she gets pregnant and accrues stress, so she is essentially an 'dead' character either way. But, i did pull my collective three brain cells together and i added this script in, tested it with a different character, and noticed that the most stress they ever gained was between two and 50.
in short; the script works, my brain doesn't.
"Parse Error: Unexpected indent."
"expansion.gd: 2525"
Edit: 2525 is the line number of the error(though any lines you changed will have the same error, only the first one is listed)
The text in the browser has spaces instead of tabs, which will likely upset the Godot engine when copying the text from the browser to the text editor. It believes you are missing tabs/indent cause there are spaces instead. Replace groups of 4 spaces with a tab. Some text editors have this functionality built in, otherwise use the "Find and Replace"/"Replace...".
I applied the fix and it worked to quell the problem, for the most part, but now I'm getting these and the day end doesn't work properly anymore (no report window opening, tasks/jobs probably aren't working though some seem to, so not entirely sure there).

Hey, so I'm a big dumbdumb and did...something...i'm not even sure what, but it erased the script below, and when i tried to put it back in I couldn't find expansion.gd again, and I've forgotten where it's located. Could you give me a file reference of where it should be? I don't wanna load it up in case my computer fucking explodes or something without it.
Hard to know exactly, but based on the errors, you probably put the fix code in the wrong function. When he says find "dailyLactation" there are 2 cases, it looks like you put it after the first rather than the second.
It's not the simplest instructions for those who don't know how to code. You were supposed to find the code that starts with "#Pressure Stress and Swelling" and ends with "#Keep the Secret (if Possible)" and put the fix there. The code you are replacing should be very similar to the fix.
I think I still use the good ol' everything-in-one (where you get all the portrait packs and just dumb it together) or the Portrait + Bodies MEGA PACK from SoulCaliber (before it was taken down).
