Quick questions about the newly released version that sports actual weather. Did you rework the intro where it implies that it is always sunny and pleasant in Smallville? Does the beach stay open when the weather snows? I think you could remove the snow effects completely and think of the location like Miami Florida USA where snow would almost never happen but daily afternoon thunderstorms are a real possibility.

[Dzeris]

1.10.4 changed the way minigame outcome is calculated. Winning config from 1.10.3 no longer works.

Cooldown for giving gifts to NPCs is reduced. Gave Stacy bottle of wine in the morning and energy drink during PTA meeting.

[barteke22]

@Dzeris Nothing's changed in terms of minigames afaik, you might've reloaded yours into a different one though.
Did you reload Minigames under Reload Game Objects? That allows switching between configs, since only one can go into the minigame slot (the last to be reloaded). Otherwise share this 'Winning config' - since there's no such thing in the base ones.

Can confirm missing cooldown being a bug, will look into.

Nothing currently happens outside of some specific events that mention to weather.
It could be possible to do that by manipulating the VisitFrequency in a BackgroundEvent, but I think Shilo mentioned that such changes would be better off to wait for the potential 'activity based scheduling' rework.

The weather could always be tweaked to resemble the climate of some area or other, the town doesn't really have much lore as to what kind of place it is.

For now someone could make a mod that tweaks this and how it affects locations, as it's all in VEE (BackgroundEvents\WeatherManager).

I've started new game.

Will try tuning minigame config further.

Gifts and flirting in 1.10.4

* Not all types got set of three gifts.
* Some request bikini and talk about previous suit gift, when bikini is their first gift request.
* Some (ex.Lydia) do not have +10 option in insightful talk.

Unlocking phones on limited types might require different approach.

[barteke22]

* Do you mean the old archetypes don't have min 3?
As mentioned in the patch notes, the new ones are incomplete - that's why you're meant to use the mod to regenerate the old ones (if you want to).

* Fixed internally.

* Same as first point, though for that one the new ones would default to 'non-specific'.

Not feeling the 'New' Lydia's look; NGL.

Not feeling the 'New' Lydia's look; NGL.

Nor am I. Preferred her previous look TBH.

[jsb]

Personal information gathering seems a little off; people are more eager to give out their address than their birthday. I have a friendship at max with someone who won't give me their birthday. I've had sex with someone and gotten to two hearts' worth of relationship and they ask me "Why do you want to know that?" (but they do give me their birthday).

[Zaiaku]

I know her look was changed due to her upcoming corruption quest, but ditto. I just didn't want to say anything out of not wanting to sound like an a-hole.

[Dzeris]

1.10.4 slave girl gives her phone number after some time in the basement. Impossible to call her even after she is released. "Maybe it's just bad time to call Name?..." Current friendship around 19.

1.10.3.5 allowed to call her even when she was still in the basement.

Hmmm not sure why I'm having issues launching the game. Tried Both the 64x and 86x versions of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1. I also have a version of .Net framework installed higher than 4.8. I even tried downloading and running 1.9.5, and that worked just fine. Hope it's not just me having issues. Also sorry if this is in the wrong thread.
Here's the log

re:Lydia I think they had trouble finding images for her chain for the old design. Until that chain happens (if ever) someone can cash in on that 'old Lydia mod' real-estate xD

@Dzeris & @rdspam Hopefully fixed next patch, keep stuff like that to the Official Bug Report thread pls.

I stuck OldLydia's head in the new Folder, and color-matched the NuLydia's back hair to OldLydia in Paint. Took 5 minutes.
