In other words, the Futamod author never needed to change Peters name, he only had to change display name and flip gender on mod activation?

I thought Peter already had an alternate name. At least he begins displaying as "Petra" after getting futanized in my game, and I don't use the Futamod

Yup, the vanilla game character XML (checked 1.10.6.0) has a GenderedForename override.

Yes, I added GenderedForename for gender change.  It's not applied automatically though.

KeywordOverrides allow overriding keywords like {he} on per NPC basis. I was initially going to just override {First} and {Name}, but decided against it as it turned out that 'Add to Dictionary' was lower priority than the overrides.  This might have to change at some point, as 'Add to Dictionary' is more flexible (it's for temporary overrides during event execution) than KeywordOverrides.

And the reason I didn't apply it automatically is that there needed to be an event for dealing with some other scenario-defined things related to gender change anyway.

So gender change via drugs calls on FunctionLibrary\Chemistry\ApplyGenderedForename, which is slowly growing in what it does. GenderedForename is applied to CustomForename if the NPC's current CustomForename is one of the values defined in GenderedForename, otherwise skipped (NPC has a nickname or something). This behaviour could be delegated to the engine, but I think I'd rather have some native event that was called onGenderChange instead, for stuff like this.

So Futa Overhaul could just change Peter's gender and call on ApplyGenderedForename.


Edit: I added the translation test to Experimental:

Spoiler

If you too want to get banned by Google (jk, probably) you can try my crappy deep-translator test.
Available now in the Experimental stores near you. It's the same as the public version, unless you manage to jump through the 20 hoops outlined in data\Translator\deep-translator-readme.txt to witness the magick of google translate in the event box (and only there because this is just a lazy test).

This?



EDIT:
No wait? PErsonGenderOverride? Or SetPersonGender? No tooltip when hovering, I guess it's the last one.
and it's SetNextSchedule..

Hm....swimming on the beach. I think I'll add that option.

It'd be nice if the game could load mods directly from a .zip, without needing unpacking. For implementation simplicity, it could require modinfo.xml be present.

Asking because I had assumed this would already work, and then tried it, and it didn't.

If this isn't knocked out in the meantime, and I have some free time in December, I might go see if I can rerequest source access and try implementing it myself. (No promises though.)

The .NET Framework docs suggest the low-level support for reading zip files is built-in, so it probably wouldn't even need an external library.

Thinking about CustomForename and keyword overrides, another use-case that occurred to me is for marriage/divorce handling to allow changing family name, without breaking character-name links.

Combined with a "Lives out-of-town" area for divorced people to move to (or new spouses to move from, potentially), we could maybe also finally give Ginny Nightshade parents who live out-of-town, replacing her current status of "Born from an egg on a mountain top". (And also filling in a 10 friendship point question that is currently missing for students who don't have parents)

Note that this is not technically a feature request, just a thought towards any codification of name change handling that might happen. Given that, the rest is something that could be done in a mod if anyone thought it was gameplay-interesting, like pregnancy mod relies on the low-level fertility system.

Can someone please write an Alt questline for King and Coppers?
Probably involving the PI finding some dirt on them. Normally you wouldn't have the opportunity to "investigate" her but after they start harassing the player with nothing more than suspicion and hunches you could make a special request which would naturally be very expensive (danger pay and such).
Yes, this would be a blackmail route and some might find it distasteful but it'd still be an alternative to the slut ending we have now.

Also, I feel that Shirley Holmes is kind of a missed opportunity. Was someone thinking of a thing involving her or was she just destined to be another flavour special like Elsie Green?

Perhaps bringing it up the as PTA meeting, with other parents basically pressuring Coppers to back down (assuming decent REP or standing with PTA)?

you have an entire town, so of cousrse, tons of opportunities to write stuff and expand. I was thinking of further expanding my Hardman Expansion by adding ANOTHER route where you can sneakily out Sierra (when you find out about her) and basically take advantage of other students harassing her, to help corrupt the school.
