Hello, just asking if our Video needs an update.
Awesome catch, apparently they were listed for bestial and nature. That's fixed in v0.9.7, but if you need it fixed in the meantime you can do so by opening person.gd, searching for essence = 'bestialessenceing', and removing ,'Dryad' from the line above it. Make sure that you remove the comma so there's only one between Centaur and Beastkin
There are 3 reasons that come to mind why Aric's mod would not be listed in the mod menu.
The best way to fix Strive problems fast is the Strive Discord (https://itch.io/t/284398/discord).
1 I did restart it a few times
2 I will redo the installation and test that
3 The game did not do anything weird that I could see, and the console said nothing except that it remade the backup folder the video tells you to delete or rename
Edit: I redid the whole thing for the fourth time and it just started working, thanks for the help!
In your Strive folder in appdata (where the "mods" and "saves" folders are), there should be a path ".../Strive/mods/AricsExpansion/scripts/aricsexpansion/" but the error messages say that this path does not exist or does not contain the expected script files. Potential causes:
There may be other problems, but I can't really tell yet as this problem seems to be dominating the console.
The quest log entry for the quest should be "Bring Melissa a Taurus girl with huge lactating tits and at least three additional pairs of tits. Size and lactation can be altered with certain potions, while the laboratory lets you add and develop extra tits. ", which explains all the parts needed, but note that the wording here is very specific. It is likely that you had the right number of extra nipples, but the number of extra nipples is not necessarily the same as the number of extra tits. You will need to use the "Develop nipples" operation in the laboratory to change the extra nipples to extra tits.
I'm not that familiar with the mechanics of this mod, but I suspect that there is no method of having slaves impregnate each other outside of the sex interaction with the player character.
You're correct on the "Develop Nipples" operation. That's the confusing part for most people. The extra nipples need to be fully developed to meet the requirements.
You can actually have slaves interbreed without the Sex interaction if you use the Farm and set one as the Breeder and the other as the Stud. It will occur automatically at that point.
you need to tweak a bit more. Here's my files btw:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/8fm38qqnlq3frkg/Strive_newPositions.zip/file
I imagine you've already done a lot of debug on the hybrids already, but here goes. I'm having trouble getting taurus blood to result in the endurance stat boost it should produce. See pic of new offspring (father was taurus). It doesn't seem to matter if Taurus father is PC or NPC (I tried with other offspring and none got the stat boost). I can try with a Taurus mother too if that helps.
That is fascinating. The only race that you're seeing that issue with is Taurus? I checked the code and can't see anything obvious that would indicate why that bonus isn't applying. It appears the values for the combination of the other races are working fine for that person. Out of curiosity, can you add a point to endurance and see if that triggers it to update and show the +1?
Ok, I tested some more. Adding endurance didn't help jog things along; just maxed out with no bonus. It's not just taurus, see examples below.
I did monkey with this code (lost the tabs only just now in the copy/paste to below), could that have messed it up? I was trying to make it so sometimes mom or dad had more weighting in their offspring.
[constructor.gd]
func build_genealogy(person, mother, father):
var percent = 0
var parentgenechance = rand_range(0,100)
for race in genealogies:
if parentgenechance >= 75:
person.genealogy[race] = round((mother.genealogy[race] * .4) + (father.genealogy[race] * .6))
if parentgenechance <= 25:
person.genealogy[race] = round((mother.genealogy[race] * .6) + (father.genealogy[race] * .4))
else:
person.genealogy[race] = round((mother.genealogy[race] + father.genealogy[race]) * .5)
percent += person.genealogy[race]
I also played with the stat bonuses themselves but only subtle changes (eg. .6 instead of .4 on existing stat bonus magnitudes only). I'm doing all of this with pregnancy accelerated to 3 days btw.
One other observed bug in my playthru was an occasional offspring sex mismatch in naming (wrong sex name) and See Relatives description vs Inspect description / popup description on offspring. The inspect screen / popup descriptions were aligned with behavior in sex/meet interactions. I'm suspicious that the mismatch occurs as some character traits are set for the offspring during pregnancy and others at birth, but I haven't looked through the code to find out if I'm right.
Thanks for the heads up. I may have to have the game store the altered variables differently if it isn't saving. Regarding preg durations, going under the semen lifespan will definitely risk that. I have that fixed so childbirth clears all remaining semen from the womb to avoid that issue in v0.9.7. Thanks for reporting it!
Also, two more things - don't forget that I didn't just add new items, I re-balanced the weight of existing items to make sense. (default vales are a joke)
Also, I tweaked post-battle sex for more variation and more slave actions. Trying to add more fetish-specific actions. If I can figure out how to add options, I can expand it even more. Will forward my changes after more testing.
ATM, slaves will try to preserve their virginties, but if no virgin, they might ride futa/male enemies and get pregnant.
The cause of the issue is most likely that your mod system is not the correct version for applying the mod. Part of the installation is to patch the files for the correct mod system with the files found in "Put in Strive Game Files". Then the "backup" folder is to be deleted and then the game can be started.
As a side note, combatdata.gd should be included with the patch files and not with the mod files, as that version of the mod system is not capable of modding that file. Note, changing this may alleviate this specific error message, but it will not fix the core problem behind the error message so something else will take its place.
This error is stating that there was a parse error in the sex system file, which causes the entire file to be declared invalid. The problems in your other posts are the obvious results and add nothing further. The cause of this issue is most likely that you applied the mod files as patch files, thus corrupting your install. The files inside ".../AricsExpansion/scripts/" are to be left in the mod folder and not copied into the game folder. You will need to start over with a fresh install of Strive and carefully follow the instructions. If you still have trouble, I recommend the Strive Discord(https://itch.io/t/284398/discord) as a faster way to communicate and walk you through the install steps.
I appreciate the recommendation. I am not likely to apply those changes myself as I never want to limit playstyle options, which is one of the strong points I think Strive has going for it, but I have been considering adding in "Play Modes" as a character creation option and those tweaks could definitely be a viable "difficulty mode" tweak. Especially the mana change. Whew!
Play modes would be cool, but I don't mind tweaking. I get a little more familiar with gdscript each time by playing with it and experimenting. Truth be told, I didn't stop with that mana tweak, I increased spell costs by several times for invigorate, sedate, fear, and dominate too (~30 mana each, 15 if I'm a mage). It makes me stingy with my mana if one long expedition uses up the fruits of a couple days of copulating (considering the interactions/endurance nerf I use) - after all a sorcerer with a more subdued sex life would need to be at a severe disadvantage in the world of S4P, right?
I might just do that, but probably after I get a little better at it and amass a more comprehensive set. I'll ping the discord channel when I'm having trouble getting something to work the way I think it should. The set so far is just the really simple low-hanging fruit sort of tweaks I could do without any complexity, spread out code, or new global variables (the node extension and overall structure still escape me).

About #1, the coin flip was the vanilla method of implementing the Dark Elf racial bonus. Though there are more reliable ways of implementing it, as you pointed out it should generally work well enough, so that part was never changed. The ['bandaged','sedated'] part was my addition, because I noticed that those effect durations were functionally cooldowns unlike the other effects. Though I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote that logic, since it's pretty obviously wrong. Though your explanation is wrong, your condition logic is better than mine. The cause was the "!" and the "&&" instead of "||", not the array check.
I've already done a bit of fixing to the sex system and overhauled sexdescriptions.gd. The results were released in a bugfix patch on the Strive Discord(https://itch.io/t/284398/discord) and already included in the 1.0a release of Strive. Aric will probably try to update his mod to include them but it may take a few weeks.
The Discord is often a better place to share ideas, but either way is fine. I mainly do bug fixes for Strive and Aric is more likely to adopt new ideas. I wish I had known about the Dark Elf problem earlier so it could have been included, but once enough fixes are needed I'll put together a new patch.
Great catches. I'll look into applying those fixes.
In general, I'm cool with anyone making a mod off of mine or modding mine. It may be easier to set your mod to use AricsExpansion as the base (ie: have AricsExpansion loaded first then yours below it to have your mod files change Arics) instead of just patching and re-releasing the whole AricsExpansion with your changes as that will involve reworking your mod every time AricsExpansion is patched/updated, but I'm cool with either. Have at it and I look forward to seeing what ya come up with!
Edit: Fixes applied to v0.9.8. Love the notes on the bugs and you made it exceptionally easy for me to grab and apply those quickly. I appreciate the help!
Hey! I found another bug. The Dog Kennel sleeping option does not show up in the Slave Spreadsheet(the one unlocked by the headgirl). Opening the Slave Spreadsheet will also throw an error in the console and leave the sleeping text cell empty for any slave sleeping in the Dog Kennel. Here's my fix for it:
button.add_item(globals.sleepdict['kennel'].name)
if globals.state.mansionupgrades.mansionkennels == 0:
button.set_item_disabled(button.get_item_count()-1, true)
if person.sleep == 'kennel':
button.set_item_disabled(button.get_item_count()-1, true)
button.select(button.get_item_count()-1)
Sorry about the butchered code formatting. Itch does not seem to have code formatting tools for their forums. Also, the mansion main screen does not properly update after changing sleeping spots within the Slave Spreadsheet, but that's a vanilla issue so I just ignored that. Ideally there should be a rebuild function call within func sleepselect and a rebuild function defined for the mansion main screen but there isn't.
Found and tracked down another bug. Milking gets applied multiple times during group sex. Every milking action milking is applied to every lactating character milked times the number of lactating characters getting milked. So if 3 lactating characters get milked during group sex, they each get milked 3 times for a total of 9 milkings. This is not dependent on the number of people doing the milking, just the people getting milked. Anyway, too much milking and too much text spam. Milking can also currently give weird negative values. The fix is to move the milking logic outside the for loop it's in. I moved it to before the for loop. I also made various changes that made sense to me and fix some aberrant behavior. The code is too long and complex to paste it here without formatting so I put it on pastebin together with lines at the start and end of it which indicate where I placed it in newsexsystem.gd and my comments: https://pastebin.com/VpdqGgJ6
The old milking code and my comments should also be removed before applying this fix. Just in case someone wants to apply my fixes themselves.
Edit: I'm also getting some errors with jobs. Seems like something connected to the guardian job? I'm running a 9.5 save on a fresh 9.7 install based on 5.25. I'll see if I can track it down but my console log is this(ignore the kennel error that is the mod overwriting one of my fixes from before :P):
Okay, I've found the reason for that elusive error I posted about before. It has nothing actually to do with the save. I checked and the job exp and all that stuff was already present on the save. I already had saved it in 9.7. The real reason is that the random events for guardian and slave catcher jobs use the global.evaluate function which relies on the global.currentslave variable. gloabl.currentslave however is only set when the slave tab is opened(the slave which tab it is) or in sexuals.gd on a few occasions. This means that the slave data used in those random job events is the data for the slave which had it's slave tab opened or had sex most recently. This is bad enough as the wrong slave's data is used, but when the game is started freshly and a save is loaded where a slave is assigned to either guardian or slave catcher jobs then the day is passed without doing anything else the game will generate errors in the console as the global.currentslave is nil/null and no end of day report is displayed.
I uploaded the needed changes to jobs&specs.gd to pastebin again: https://pastebin.com/DnjJvAnG
Itch.io provides code format blocks in "Format" text option button (left-most button above the text input)
Do you mean keep any pumps/canisters/studs/etc assigned to her? There is not currently a way to keep those items on her as the game checks the number of slaves currently equipped with those items before showing them up as a valid/invalid selection (similar to how the game calculates beds).
The best workaround would be to create a temp farm storage in person.gd mirroring their originalwhich would assign all of the farm’s factors to before unassigning the slave from the farm, then have it attempt to check/add each of those factors back when reassigned or failing to default if it’s not available. It should work if that’s what you’re talking about, it just may be cumbersome.
Welp, that's a shame.
It occurs to me that I'm literary running a slave farm. A farm that drives its residents mad, near death, constantly mutating, oddly horny, leaking out of every hole, and full of snail eggs . . .
This is a really odd and fun game, your mod has defiantly added more playthroughs than I originally would have played through. Keep up the good work.
Good catch. If you feel like changing it in your game in the meantime, it’s supposed to be “jobskills” instead
Edit: Fixed in v0.9.8
If you’re having repeat issues, I recommend grabbing the “Strive v5.25 with AricsExpansion v0.9.7” from the link in the top post and use that install instead. Then you just need to make sure that AricsExpansion (named exactly that, not renamed) is in the AppData/Strive/mods folder. Then you activate it in the mod panel, restart, and are good to go
I look forward to it. I don't think I've said it before, but I absolutely LOVE your mod. I enjoyed the base game, but your mod adds so much. The only thing I wish is that there were more preg/nude picture packs, I've only been able to find one.
This is a known bug and fixed for the next version, but currently it's preventing breast size expansion during pregnancies. You can fix it by going to your Aric's Expansion mod files in the appdata folder and in expansion.gd on line 1771 change 'globals.titssizearray.back' to 'globals.titssizearray.back()'.
Not exactly certain of how you managed it, but you have an error on line 2594 of a file that should only have 1846 lines. The only way I can think of for getting that result would be using the patch files portion("Put in Strive Game Files") of aric's mod as the mod folder. The entire "AricsExpansion" folder is generally put into the "/Strive/mods/" folder, though the portion you have there can be left out.
Depending on how it was done you may have corrupted the pre-merged Strive program folder and may need to start with a fresh extraction. Otherwise you may be able to un-apply all mods, correct the mod folder, and re-apply mods.
FYI, that thing is not in, nor have I forwarded the tweak to Arcis yet, but I will. I've been busy the last few days (job interviews and preparations, leaving my old company).
Don't expect much, it just expands the player (and companion) actions a bit, so it takes into account you (companion) sex bits and hopefully fetishes, and so playing as female you don't get "you enjoy their body immensely", and that's it.
But, since the thing is a text file, it can be edited and changed.
You are probably using the pre-merged version of Aric's Expansion, but that version still requires several installation steps. The pre-merging simply lets you skip moving the contents of the "Put in Strive Game Files" folder and deleting the "backup" folder.
The races are not showing up because you did not apply the AricsExpansion mod to the pre-merged version. It may tell you that it is already applied, but that is because v0.5.25 of Strive did track mod installs per instance of Strive; there is a single record for all instances of Strive on the computer. Simply make sure AricsExpansion is selected and press "Apply" again.
The first post in thread had a video of the steps, feel free to mute it. If you are using the pre-merged then it will not quite be accurate but you can start at about 1: 43 (YouTube Video). From 3:14 to 3:52 it will show how to move the "Put in Strive Game Files" folder and rename "backup" folder, SKIP this part if you have the pre-merged version.
Chances are strong that you have the wrong folder path. But if you are unable to resolve it then I recommend joining the Strive Discord (https://itch.io/t/284398/discord), where we can walk you through the installation steps.
When I select one of my daughters it instead selects the last slave I selected before her, it gives me this error: 
Also noteworthy is that her race is listed as just "Halfkin", my character is a 100% Taurus, her mother is a 73% Feline 27% Fox Beastkin Cat.
Bringing her to the slaver guild and trying to sell her creates this error: 
There is a pre-merged version of this mod, but that simply reduces the number of steps as I describe in this sub-thread https://itch.io/post/2044534. I don't know that a new video is needed right now, though it really depends on how long it takes for Aric to update his mod for v1.0a of Strive. Given the simplifications offered by the new version's mod system and the existence of pre-merged mod distribution, we may be reaching the end of needing instructions videos.
Your errors exactly match this one https://itch.io/post/2005618. Thus your problem is related to failure to apply the mod through the mod system. As my reply to that briefly post states, this issue can happen from simply forgoing the application of the mod or if the path to the mod is incorrect.
If you applied the mod in-game. then the path is probably wrong. Strive is VERY strict about file paths and any changes to folder names or the number of folder levels will break stuff. Typically people extract the mod into another folder and have the first path but should have the second path.
Simply fix the path and re-apply the mod.
That just sounds weird, the mod system should never be luck based and the selection of the mod upon boot-up has no impact on the game functionality. It's just for appearances, though it probably means that there was some problems with either the mod system or the file system.
As long as you got it to work, I suppose that's fine.
mansionCategory, prisonCategory, farmCategory, awayCategory
They are all GUI controls that were added for v1.0 of Strive.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately another problem has arisen. When it gets to race selection, the race list isn't even there.

It could be entirely my fault though. I'm not familiar with coding at all.
Adding mods does not require knowledge of coding, but Strive is VERY strict about its file paths.
Basically you have the same problem as this: https://itch.io/post/2005618
If you tried to apply the mod, then the problem is the path. This path should exist if you've done everything correct (replace USER_NAME as relevant). Edit: assumed Windows, if not, then replace the path before "\Strive\" with relevant path for user's app data.
"C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Strive\mods\AricsExpansion\info.txt"
I love the concept. I’m definitely interested in looking into it. It will likely be a little while before I’m able to work on new features, though, so if you’d like to get it out in the meantime and it’s an easy replacement, I’d encourage you to release it as a “mod/patch of the mod” option for now. That way everyone can enjoy it before I get the chance to incorporate it
Sorry for the wait. It took some time to separate it from the rest of the tweaks.

Well, I really can't claim to be the elegance guy. I was thinking of maybe making it optional and to weave it into and/or balance it with another attempt I've been working on to try to make it so players have to choose between adventuring and other options each turn/gameday in order to have more days/playthrough for micromanagers like me who Can't Not go adventuring every turn as is habitually. Also, I just think it's a really cool idea and I'm excited you got it to work.
There is a very niche bug prior to v1.0a, where the autosave functionality will screw things up if the autosaves are kept but the "progressfile" is not and the player generates either 1 or 2 autosaves from ending the day. While I'm not 100% certain that is your problem, this one is the most likely. The simplest solution is simply to flush the records for the autosaves by starting the game, quick starting a new progress (do no open the load/save menu), and ending the day at least 2 times. Deleting the autosaves and restarting the game, should also work, but I haven't tested it.
fixed in my version here: https://itch.io/t/1036577/ralphs-modded-arics-mod-097-standalone-hybrid-expansio...
If you want to apply the fix yourself, open constructor.gd in your main game folder/files/scripts/characters/ and add the lines of code in the attachment below ending with #ralph3. Be very careful about the indents/tabs. You need some and they've got to be right.
https://mega.nz/file/cpZxnS7Z#wJ1FAfiWOIt0OvkKtEfuhSKxYPHIlArfqnC6cKlOneg
I don't like that the option would be about killing the character by another name with different effects. How about naming the new option "drive off" and results in a small message on the right "[character name] escapes to far away land is never seen again" instead of the usual message that tells you that the character might appear again. Additionally I would like to see an option to change the default action after combat as well. So I can kill, rape or drive off all characters after every combat without having to go through the dropdown menu for every enemy every time.
Do they have really big lips? I recall that I had made my starting slave have the largest option for lips once and they ended up lisped or mute. (I just checked creating a character like that and they got the mute trait on end of day.) So you may want to try reducing the size of their lips (with a minorus concoction) and see if that helps.
You've posted this under the wrong mod, Aric's mod does not have bountysell. Ralph's version of Aric's mod has bountysell. https://itch.io/t/1036577/ralphs-modded-arics-mod-097-standalone-hybrid-expansio...
Also, double check that you have the latest version and that you didn't mix up the files between the 2 mods.
I guess I should clarify, you have the same issue now as you dd then and the same solution. The first line of your screenshot says "Godot Engine v3.1.2..., which only appears in version 1.0a of Strive and Aric's mod still only works for version 0.5.25 of Strive. The sub-thread beginning with the linked post explains this same issue and provides a link to the solution (https://itch.io/t/975848/strive-v525-arics-expansion-v097-pre-merged).
It's difficult to figure out the source of the problem from the errors posted because the top portion is cut off and all of those errors are secondary errors. Think of it like an avalanche of errors that grows larger the more it tumbles through the program. The errors you posted only show the mess afterwards and not the cause.
Common errors are using Strive v1.0a as a base instead of v0.5.25 (or the "pre-merged" version of Arics), using the wrong files from the mod folder to patch the game if not using the "pre-merged" version, or having the mod folder in the wrong position. Strive is VERY strict about where it expects mods to be located; unless you changed the setup, your Strive AppData should have this exact path to the info.txt file "\Strive\mods\AricsExpansion\info.txt".
This mod does not work with the current version of Strive(v1.0d). As it says in the title and in top post, this will only work for v0.5.25, so he has provided a copy in another topic(https://itch.io/t/975848/strive-v525-arics-expansion-v097-pre-merged). However, installation of this mod is rather complex and not recommended for those having trouble with simpler mods.
Aric never changed abortions to support his mod, so any attempt to abort a baby will result in a reset pregnancy timer and an error rather than removing the baby. So as long as you keep trying to abort the baby, it will never be born and she will stay pregnant.
The easiest way to fix this is to open person.gd (.../STRIVE_PROGRAM_FOLDER/files/scripts/person/person.gd) and change the contents (the 5 lines after header) of "func abortion():" to:
while !preg.unborn_baby.empty(): globals.miscarriage(self)
Be sure to make a backup of the file first and use a decent text editor. Each line should have leading tabs instead of leading spaces(1 tab instead of 4 spaces) so you will need to change that if you copy and paste this code.
It is not compatible with 1.0 and I ASSUME it's still being updated but Aric has been silent for a bit. Dunno what's up.
Mostly life, job, pursuit of happiness, and a deep dread of what all is involved in changing every element of this mod to make it 1.0 compatible. But its on the list
Psst! If you need already done 1.0d bugfix 3 compatible version, also with my fixes, feel free to ask.
I mean, I’m not one to reinvent the wheel. If you’re okay with me giving it the once over, tweaking it if and where needed, and releasing it (crediting you, obviously), I’d be down to. Honestly, the frustration of having to redo work I’ve already done instead of getting to add new, fun things is the biggest holdup on it so far for me.

Seems like a lot of cleanup work will be needed, as a fair number of things were broken or excluded. Many of those were bugfixes made between v1.0a and v1.0d. It's understandable since there is a lot of code and it can be quite difficult to know all of the nuances of the code.
In expansionfarm.gd , the change from "for cattle in allcattle:" to "for i in allcattle:" breaks everything, since i is never used and cattle is never assigned.
In newsexsystem.gd, there are many issues. In startequence, all the modded member characteristics are updated for an object that is discarded; those should be moved to the member _init function. In actioneffect, augmented tongue code was excluded and duplicate code exists for handling the 'pervert' tag. The rope recovery after sex is missing near the end of endencounter:
for action in ongoingactions: stopongoingaction(action)
In Mansion.gd, the infinite effect duration bug still exists because "(!i.code in ['bandaged','sedated', 'drunk'] && randf() > 0.5)" is used twice instead of "i.code in ['bandaged','sedated', 'drunk'] || randf() > 0.5". updatedescription has not been updated.
In exploration.gd, the Adya jewel duplication fix is missing, and the old uncivilized-tamer resolution still exists (reduces chance of capturing a tamer).
In outside.gd, in _on_slavesellbutton_pressed
else: globals.state.reputation[globals.weightedrandom(reputationloss)] -= 4
should be
reputationloss = globals.weightedrandom(reputationloss) globals.state.reputation[reputationloss] -= 4
There are probably some more issues, but those are what I saw after skimming through the code.
"broken or excluded" Thats might be bc of few things: when 1.0a is out, i update my mod from 5.25 game version and then idea come to my mind: "Hey, there is this Aric's popular mod, how about to finally play it and see how my mod work with his?" And 3 days of my life vent lost for making Aric's mod work for 1.0a. =) There is a lot of decision i make, to do it, like leave Aric's code in few places instead of 1.0, change some functions, cut unnecessary thing like too long descriptions in mansion panel to fit 1.0 new ui(really, Aric, this descriptions of crystal is too long), etc.
"bugfixes made between v1.0a and v1.0d" I might miss something bc, i apply bugfixes by hand, and if there is big arics code i preffered not to mess with it.
"In expansionfarm.gd" Dunno why, but when i try to run game with "cattle" game tell me that "cattle" is already defined before. Same goes for "parent" which i change for "y". During my playing in this mod i didn't use cattles and i didn't use Dimension crystal, just research it, so i cant find this before. I might miss some part of updated code bc for reference i use my mod updated to 1.0d and merged with Aric's, and update 1.0a with copy of 1.0d and hand applied bugfix v2, v3 come out few days ago and i apply it by hand in freshly made copy of 1.0d.
"In newsexsystem.gd" There is a big and scary Aric's code xD, when i do merging i might miss duplicating thing, "augmented tongue code was excluded" and "duplicate code exists for handling the 'pervert' tag" is my bad, its leftovers of 5.25 game version. "rope" my bad, miss this string when merging.
"In Mansion.gd" Again, my bad, i leave merging this string for later and totally forgot. "updatedescription" I may leave this section for later and totally forgot about it =D. Now i wonder if "updatedescription has not been updated" is main cause for broken player relatives in original Aric's mod.
"In outside.gd, in _on_slavesellbutton_pressed" again, slipped past me. Thx for pointing.
Right now i compare 5.25 bf5, 1.0d bf3 and 1.0d bf3 aric mod, to see what else is missing.
Thx for pointing in my flaws, i appreciate it.
As far as the "cattle" and "parent" are concerned, in prior versions of Godot it was fine to do something like this:
var cattle do something with cattle #code considers this scope to be cattle_1 for cattle in allcattle: do something with cattle #code considers this scope to be cattle_2
But in the current version of Godot, they simplified the code by preventing multiple local scope definitions of a single variable name. For "cattle" it would be fine to delete "var cattle" since it was unused, but both "parent" were used so renaming was necessary, though you missed 4 cases of parent within the "for y in ['father','mother']:" loops(2 in first, 1 in each of the last 2).
I use a diff utility to compare files which makes it far easier to see what has changed. TortoiseGit includes a graphical diff utility so I use that, but there are other options.
It is not possible to determine the exact cause of the problem from these errors. Most likely the originating error occurred during a different gameplay session. The save file may have information that can lead to the cause, but it is just as likely to be missing critical data, in which case the best approach will be to simply delete that person.
There isn't enough information to determine the cause of your problem. If you tried to play the mod using the current version(1.0d) of Strive, then the game will tend to crash rather than produce error messages on the debug terminal (the terminal does not appear for every OS). This mod should be installed using https://itch.io/t/975848/strive-v525-arics-expansion-v097-pre-merged.
Otherwise, if you used the correct versions to install, then the source of crash and failure to open would most likely be your OS or anti-virus.
You have somehow messed up the installation process. The most obvious sign is that it claims that your first error is on line 2594 of sexdescriptions.gd, which should only have 1846 lines. All of the other errors appear to be derived from that first error. It feels a bit like it tried to append the contents of the same file to the end of the file. I'm not certain of the cause, as I'm not aware of any normal processes that lead to this result. I would need to know very precisely what steps were taken to reach that result to understand it, but that is likely far more work that it is worth for either of us.
I suggest deleting the mod folder in appdata and the modded program folder to start over from the beginning. If you need further help running through the process I recommend the Strive Discord (https://itch.io/t/284398/discord) as you will get much faster responses. We've gone through the process many times, so it should only take a few minutes to iron out all of the wrinkles.
I haven't dug into Conquest yet but it is in an alpha state to my knowledge. If you're like the rest of us, you pat yourself on the back, step away for a few days, then get the itch and start a new save with a different playstyle. And thus the cycle continues.
Nah, just got delayed over the last week due to some irl stuff. It’s about 2 scripts and 1 change to future proof a system from hitting alpha bug testing
The amount of horny entitlement in this comment is astounding.
Aric's last reply on these threads was less than 2 weeks ago, they're still going through the bug-testing for v1.0.
Please wait patiently like the rest of us, I don't care what you feel like you're owed.
"He said a couple weeks" doesn't matter, Aric doesn't owe you or I anything no matter what he said.
I think you are reading into this things that aren't there. If you check out the comments above this in the thread, FuturPlanet has been quite patient and understanding. This mod is almost a year behind the vanilla game in updates and a couple months ago Aric gave an approximate release date of a couple weeks. Progress appears to be quite slow, even on the Discord.
Also, FuturPlanet was planning to create an updated install video for this mod since the steps were quite complex, but that has recently been resolved. Installing this mod for the most recent version of the game is now 3 easy steps.
Hey, I appreciate all of your patience. Hey look, you are all correct! We are so far past my assessments (multiple) of how long that would take that it's crazy. I don't owe anyone anything, but appreciate you all, especially as I kept estimating deadlines and missing them. Aaaand...progress was super slow. But you might have noticed that.
See? We're all correct, winners, and friends here. Go team! Now, let's go be horny.
ankmairdor and AricTriton, you're both absolutely right. I think I was reading way too far into things. That comment from FuturPlanet just read to me like the horny equivalent of the "Well, we're waiting" meme, which would be completely out of line for a free mod that understandably took lots of time, work, and energy. Which, again, I'm more than likely reading too much into that and I 100% apologize if that's the case. It's hard to get the nuance from text.
Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication.
Hey, no problem at all and I really appreciate the support. People standing up for others is always a good thing, but in this situation I don't believe any ill-will was meant by anyone involved. Even more-so, acknowledging it shows good character as well. I'm grateful to have you in the community!
There is always that side of modding of it being done for free by people who have lives, jobs, etc all pulling away from their time. That said, waiting for a mod release (even with that in mind) can be incredibly frustrating to all involved. I may be experiencing that myself on another game waiting for a mod release to catch up, so its definitely a shared experience.
Thanks! It isn’t compatible but maybe there’ll be a future change on that.
The “final version” basically incorporated most of the BugFixes that were included in this mod already into an official release along with a few other tweaks and changes (such as renaming Drow to Dark Elf and Dark Elf to Tribal Elf). To my knowledge, no actual content was released in v1 besides some code cleanup in some areas for a little less lag in some parts like sex scenes and that name change.
oh yep remember it was different about ivran !
Well it's sure that it would be nice cause having the female characther only abble to fuck someone with a strap on it's quit depressing when your right hand is a dominant female =(
But yep i was kinda nervous to try this one as i have a bad experience with another big mod like this one (leo mod i think) as not comp with the last vers, so have crash as soon i have exit the city lol =), but yeah so far not problem and the change make the game less repetitiv, the event and the dialog with the npc are nice, havent see much of that crystal thing as most of my servant are brainless orc and troll =) and the future plan (buy a brothel, ... sure will be interessing =) exept maybe the fact that create hybrid is really tricky, mutation is like your parent when you are 6year old and you want a pet lol so yeah spend so much mana trying that i have to use the cheat to boost my mana, it would be nice to make it possible to alter their gen with the lab =)
After about that part maybe it's just me that havent see a obvious hint or something like that (i'm not a really smart person =) but yeah until now with the help of the decription in some quest given by the guild's, and when one pop at a market havent be abble to create one myself

Thanks mate! I believe this one adds several images to both of the added folders: https://itch.io/t/988503/small-portrait-pack-arics-compatible
There’s a couple of tweaks and bug fixes, but primarily that is the purpose of it. The biggest in game change is the separation of the settings into its own script so it can be modified manually & easier (like variables), have a ui created for it in game soon, and make it easier for other modders to set “toggles” into their features in the future.
Lactation never stops in vanilla, but it was added to this mod as an optional feature. https://itch.io/post/1079646
Pubic style is not just text, it alters the GUI by providing a selection control. It is very difficult to create a mod system that can apply multiple mods that change the GUI directly. Though it shouldn't be too difficult to add it by hand.
Chastity Belt mod is a large mod and has been updated for the current version of the game so it cannot be compatible with Aric's mod.
Ty for the speedy reply I didn't really expect Chastity to work because it seems complex, but about the Pubic Style, I know it changed the GUI but it shouldn't be much right? You could make a button similar to tattoos and Piercings and it could work, I'm just making the argument at this point not telling you to do it, as I said I haven't tried to mod this game yet so I have no idea how complicated it is
It seems like you are misunderstanding some things.
I'm not the author of this mod; I'm the author of the current (fixed and improved) mod system.
I said it was not difficult to add the changes by hand, as in adding in that button to the GUI with the Godot editor or possibly with a diff utility. If Aric wants to add it, then it should only take a couple hours.
However, the file format for GUI scenes is not handled by the mod system, I don't know the exact syntax(though it doesn't look complex) for writing a scene file, and it uses a tree hierarchy which would require a slightly more structural approach to inserting new text. On top of that, Aric's mod uses an out of date modding system because it is still on an older version of Strive. Mods have gotten around this issue by replacing the scene files with edited ones, but this restricts the player to a single GUI changing mod. GUI changes can also be added using code, but few modders are comfortable with that approach.
Unique NPCs should be checked and their genetics forced to full blooded unless they are explicitly halfbreeds in the game’s lore, but that should occur on game start instead of game load. I’ll dig into this further and see if I can find a workable solution fir the next release of the current forced genetics scripts aren’t working right.
Well to give some intel about my experience, basically for ivran i have reload the day before i collect him so the next day i have been abble to get "him" full blooded, usually i wasnt the case, so i will look into it for emily, her sister, and cally (if it her name not sure), and basically make a save before start their quest
40 days ago it was in early bug testing... so probably another few weeks until it's public. But I can't wait either xD
Go Go AricTriton
Well, there were some major changes made even from 1 to BugFix v1d that threw some complications, but we're past those for the most part. The first alpha bugtest version has been in the hands of some of the modders helping out on the project for a week or two, but the bad news is that they encountered an error that I can't replicate. The good news is that I believe I fixed that error and its back in their hands. As soon as I am sure that it will load a playable game, I'll open it to public bugtesting. :)
I gave Aric a pre-release version of the Bugfix mod since there was a vanilla bug that prevents his mod from installing. I figured his mod could be distributed with mine since the mod system and his mod both support packed mod folders. I planned to properly update the bugfix mod later since there was other issues to consider.
The bugfix mod has been updated to V5a, you will need to download it as Aric's mod will not work without at least that version.
Same issue here,
more of a step by step of what I did
1. Extract the mods to a custom mod folder
2. Start the game, enable bugfix v5, apply, exit
3. Start the game active aric below bugfix, apply (get some warnings but no errors), exit (bugfix and aric are the only mods active, order bugfix 0, aric 1)
Now after this when I try to start the game, it crashes during load (the music starts playing but the menu doesn't pop up) and it just closes down.
I figured it might be some issue with the path, so I did the same again but step 1 extract to %AppData%/Strive/mods folder like I was told to, same issue.
Note: Out of desperation I tried it with a fresh x32 copy as well, but had the same issue, except this time the music doesn't even get to start before the initial load crashes.
I get the same warning as described above when applying arics but I figured it was not an issue as it's not an error.
A simple vanilla error, one that has managed to be preserved in Aric's mod and slip by despite having been found a long time ago. It's actually the skin cover that is causing it, not the multple nipples. Line 1698 in sexdescriptions.gd is:
return getRandStr(descTitsBodyType[3])
but should be:
return getRandStr(descTitsBodyType[1])
The index 3 should be 1.
It's a pretty simple bug, but it's related to Aric's mod not vanilla. Aric forgot to increase the clamped index range when adding his new sizes to sexdescription.gd. In line 1250 it says:
return getRandStr( descPenisSize[ clamp(limitsPenis[0],0,2) * 2 + int(areAllAttrib_E_val(group, C_AGE, C_CHILD)) ])
but it should be:
return getRandStr( descPenisSize[ clamp(limitsPenis[0],0,5) * 2 + int(areAllAttrib_E_val(group, C_AGE, C_CHILD)) ])
It just changes the max size from 2 to 5.
Thank you very much, I will test that.
I assumed it was a simple error, that's why I tried to fix it myself. That, however, was more difficult that I thought. I didn't even recognise the langage used, so I thought that it would be better if someone who knows what they are doing takes a look at that. (Btw what is the name of the programmig language?)
Her breasts are too large. The structure of the conditions changed between versions and his changes were lost.
Line 1827 of outside.gd is
this happens when requesting intimacy through the meet action
is there anyway to fix these errors?
New bug here, I have the latest versions of everything correctly installed but it still happens.
{reqs = [['race','eq','Taurus'],['sex','neq','male'],['lactation','eq',true],['titssize','eq',5],['titsextradeveloped','eq',true],['titsextra','gte',3]]},
but should be
{reqs = [['race','eq','Taurus'],['sex','neq','male'],['lactation','eq',true],['titssize','gte',5],['titsextradeveloped','eq',true],['titsextra','gte',3]]},
Basically changing the tit size check from equals ('eq') to greater than or equal ('gte').
Thanks, I appreciate it! Installation is much simpler now, fortunately, but your video was a huge help for a lot of people for a very long time. Congrats and good luck on your studying coding. I hope you don’t feel like you’re not welcome in the community because the video may not be needed currently; I hope you enjoy the mod and always feel free to swing by the discord or forums and say hello!
This information is too generic to be helpful, since the end of day is probably the largest section of code in the game. There is a Debug mod which can reveal the error message rather than the game crashing. Note that just because the game will not crash does not mean the problem is gone, so it is possible to permanently corrupt your data if you save after an error.
You can find it here: https://itch.io/t/1137280/debugmod-v1
If you get the error code for whatever is happening, feel free to post it so we can get that bug fixed!
This ones a bit tricky, but basically it's complaining that a person was created with an id of '-1' and the code mentioned in the error tried to access a non-existant entry in relativesdata. '-1' is not a standard id as they should all be positive numbers, which means that it was set to '-1' by the mod. This leads us to globals.gd where essentially non-existent fathers, or fathers that are actually animals rather than people, are given ids of '-1' before calling the function that gives the error. In vanilla people do not get relativesdata unless they have relatives, but Aric's mod changes that in expansionsetup.gd by giving it to everyone (I would also note that it attempts to exclude the player, but this fails as "globals.player" is not set until after the person object has been returned, and it would've caused this error if it worked). As the non-existent fathers do not need relativesdata , I will conclude that the fault lies with the constructor code as it incorrectly assumes that everyone would have relativesdata.
The simplest fix is to alter the if statement on line 546 of constructor.gd from
if person.npcexpanded.mansionbred == false:
to
if person.npcexpanded.mansionbred == false && globals.state.relativesdata.has(person.id):
Hi. Maybe I'm blind but I don't see this line in the 1.1 version of the mod. in the Constructor.gd on line 546 I see:
if person.genealogy[temprace] == 0 && rand_range(0,100) <= globals.expansionsettings.secondarybeastracialchance + sametypeweight:
Its in your mod folder right? under directory:
Users\NAME\AppData\Roaming\Strive\mods\AricsExpansion\scripts\characters\constructor.gd
Closest line I can find that matches yours in the constructor.gd is under 406:
#Sibling Match Relatives
if person.npcexpanded.mansionbred == false:
Sorry, I gave the line number for the script after it had been applied. Line 406 is indeed the correct line for the file in the mod folder.
The slave guild abortion and miscarriage potion both use the abortion function. Any attempt at removing a pregnant slave from the mansion results in them using the abortion function. Thus all 3 cases call the same function that was the cause of the old pregnancy resets bug, which in Strive v1.0d results in crashing as the game is no longer running in debug mode. So unless you have already implemented the fix yourself, this is the cause: https://itch.io/post/2931544 The Bugfix mod attempts to clean up loose ends by not keeping unnecessary data, which in this case is babies that will never be born.
Edit: just woke up and overlooked a call of abortion function
The strap-on size is an oversight in the vanilla sex descriptions. It is trying to produce a description of the penis, for which the strap-on acts as a substitute in most conditions requiring a penis. However, the text description function for penis size does not allocate a size for the strap-on (because it has none), so it simply uses the smallest description.
The text function can be easily altered to either produce no text or the largest size. Choosing an custom size of strap-on would likely require and re-working of the concept and a separate action per size. Also, Aric's mod adds functional stuff like stretching, which will also have a size problem with strap-ons. Though this slightly less tricky to resolve, there are 8 instances that need to be changed.
If you edit the file in the mod folder rather than in the program folder, then you will indeed need to re-apply the mod. But there is no reason relevant to this that you would need to start a new save file, as it doesn't effect the save data. It shouldn't even require a restart of the program as returning to the main menu to re-apply the mod would reload the changed file.
The strap-on crash happens because the mod adds code that generates text based on the opposite side of the interaction. When applying strap-ons the action does not require any receivers, so that side will be empty and the new code will crash. The easy fix is to simply add someone to the receivers side of the action. Otherwise open up newsexsystem.gd and replace
var relation = globals.expansion.relatedCheck(cp, partner.person)
with(this can like 2 lines but it's just one line):
var relation = 'unrelated' if partner == null else globals.expansion.relatedCheck(cp, partner.person)
Basically it just adds a new if condition to prevent using a non-existent partner and adds 1 tab to each of those lines under it. The site converts leading tabs to spaces, so copying this text without converting them back to tabs will break it.
The human slave you attempted to give away was likely pregnant, thus triggered this error: https://itch.io/post/4914936
Edit: I failed to notice that the variable 'relation' was used in more locations, fixed the code replacement.
Edit final: Sorry, made a lot of mistakes on this one. I think I got this cleaned up now.
There are 2 Strive games, Strive for Power and Strive: Conquest, which use "Strive" and "Strive for Power 2" respectively. There is no game that uses "Strive 2", though it is possible to rename the "Strive" folder or change the path in project.godot to that. But for a vanilla install it's simpler to just stick with "Strive", which should generate when you start the game. Ignore folders by any other name, at least until you have a better idea of what you are doing
The current version of Aric's mod is 1.1. The current version of Strive is 1.0d, but the next version is pre-released by the Bugfix mod which alters v1.0d. Neither of the mods is compatible with 0.5.25, you will need v1.0d. The Bugfix mod is required to be pre-installed before Aric's mod can be applied, as there were some bugs in the mod system of vanilla 1.0d.
If a slave is pregnant when you use them for a quest it will crash: https://itch.io/post/4914936
Fixed for the next version. Good catch! If you care to fix it manually, just change the "him" to "$him" in traits.gd
Fixed in the next version. Thanks for catching that. It'll default to Master (male) or Mistress (female/futa) if it ever is going to display Null.
The Improved Random Portraits mod is not included in this mod. The vanilla game has a very basic random portraits functionality; it will only match the race. The IRP mod should be applied below Aric's mod, otherwise Aric's will erase parts of IRP.
There should be no need to delete the "backup" folder anymore. The only reason to do so is to permanently change the code of Strive, but if the mod applied a patch then this can create a situation of missing code or files. The current mod system is designed around resetting every file to the vanilla files every time the mod system applies or resets. If there are concerns that the "backup" folder may be incorrect, then the entire program folder should be deleted and a new one extracted.
In this context the pussy and womb are different objects, pussy is part of the description and womb is related to impregnation. It appears that currently the personal baths should remove all cum from the body(except pussy) of slaves. Even without a bath, slaves may remove cum from parts of their bodies(except the womb) if they don't enjoy it or too much accumulates. Also, each day the amount of cum on their body is reduced by a very small amount.
There is no wiki for this mod and Aric prefers people find out through experience, but the mod scripts are text files and gdscript is fairly easy to read even with little experience in programming.
For tracking down the error, I recommend using the Debug mod ( https://itch.io/t/1137280/debugmod-v1 ) as it will usually provide error messages that identify what happened and where. Note that with the Debug mod the game may not crash from errors, but game data can be corrupted and the game will attempt to keep running anyways. If you play with the Debug mod, check for errors before saving.
Please let us know if you do encounter that again so we can make sure any CTD are fully eliminated. Regarding the clean up, the Bath was supposed to fully clean them, but I think that was messed up in the upgrade to v1 so it only partially cleans them daily. That will be addressed in the next update. Thanks for the report!
If you are working on new sex positions that correct this, hop on in the discord, make a fork for it on GitHub, and let’s mod that annoyance out. I know we’d originally planned on implementing your changes before the big version release, but I’m assuming they’d need to be checked and updated now. If you’ve got any working again on v1d then we can definitely get those included!
Seems there's a Sex Expansion mod already that seems to work (once you remove 3 files - specified in the thread). I doubt my attempt is better, so you can just roll that one in easily (it only needs the NEW action files added)
Regarding my items - I tested them with this update. They work a-is.
Mind you, I didn't change or test the item exchange in Umbra yet, nor did I add the bit of code that adds items to enemies/mobs yet, but I doubt anything changed there either.
It's a known issue, Futa sexuality was unhandled in 3 cases, which resulted in them considering sex with male or female to both be the opposite sex regardless of the options. Not sure how it will be resolved, but the next version will have a fix.
This one was tricky, it is likely attempting to find the father but they are not appearing in either the mansion slaves or the mod's NPC list. It seems certain that your description of the cause is correct because if it was the player then it is easy to find or if it was an animal then it would create a temporary replacement. The best cause for this that I can come up with is that the male slave had sex with the other two slaves and then was removed from the mansion and vanishing from the world (if the slave was sold to a slave guild, then they will not exist as far as the search is concerned, but may be bought back as a quick fix). The fertilize_egg function cannot handle slave fathers that did exist during sex but not later when the egg is fertilized. The fix for this is easy; open globals.gd(if you edit the one in the mod folder, then you need to re-apply the mod) with a decent text editor and after(use the Find or Search function):
father = globals.state.findslave(father_id)
Add the lines:
if father == null: # father disappeared from world father = globals.newslave(randomfromarray(globals.allracesarray), 'adult', 'male')
These two lines will need the spaces in front of them replaced with tabs(2 and 3 respectively), since this site replaces tabs with spaces.
It should look like this:
if father_id != null && father_id != '-1' && !father_unique in ['','dog','horse']: father = globals.state.findslave(father_id) if father == null: # father disappeared from world father = globals.newslave(randomfromarray(globals.allracesarray), 'adult', 'male') else:
The first may take some investigation to verify alternate sources of problems, but the cause is that the relativesdata does not update when a slave is renamed and Aric's mod attempts to fix that but only when the slave is not away. There is a fix which was supposed to be in this version of the Bugfix mod, but due to the rushed out version it was missed.
The milk issue was reported a long time ago, but I forget what the cause was. I tracked it down and posted about it, but I don't remember if that was for Aric's or Ralph's.
Definitely not OK.
One cow (taurus, big tits) produced 5 milk, the other (Tisha) producted 1200??? No hyperlactation. None of them are futa, but both are being bred and 600 semen was collected from each. I'm going bankrupt by buying bottles.
Also, profits are weird. 10 empty bottles are 100 gold,I seem to be losing money if 54 bottles yield 270???
Seeling them directly on the market seem far better.
This is very odd. I will investigate further. If you’re comfortable dming or posting your save game, that would help. I haven’t ever encountered that in my farm.
Regarding bottle sales; it’s honestly a placeholder system that was not perfected to try and give the option to generate income and simulate the economy without dragging out the version release back when the farm expansion took so long. It’s on the chopping block to give a lot more interactivity and control over sales, town interactions, etc. My goal is to find the issue here then will likely increase the priority on the updated system originally intended for sales.
Scratch that, definitely found the issue. The extractors should have been running between 0-1 to give a nice .25 or .5 to multiply the resulting production by. What was happening was some had 0-100 as the range, especially in the milkmaids checks, and a couple even have rounding on to give up to 100 times the produced amount. I corrected it in v1.3 and will try pushing that out as soon as I ensure no more bugs related to that, to get that fix out.
As a patch for the milk merchants for now, there’s a final check that will ensure they never sell for less than the cost of a bottle. Just a temp patch to make sure you don’t lose money in case the milk merchant bombs out a towns interest until the rework concludes.
Also fixed the issue of the farm not running at all if no cattle were found. Sneaky little “return text” snuck in there near the top. Corrected. Thanks for the detailed reports mate, they helped me track it down immediately.
I’m definitely down to check it out, not a bad idea at all. More post battle options are always appreciated.
Penile Virginity (and separating Anal/Oral virginity) is something that I’ve considered in the past but put on the back burner just due to the fact it would involve adding several more scene elements to main menu to be able to set that for the player and starter. It’s definitely feasible, it would just be time consuming.
I put the code in the discord. I know it worked with the older builds, back when I made it.
What I have is the copy-pasted code I put in a .txt and stashed way in my modding folder. Seem to have a formatting/identation issue, but other than that, should be good.
You are missing the file "user://mods/AricsExpansion/customScripts/expansion.gd" from your AricExpansion folder. As there are no problems with the paths or line numbers, I must conclude that the failure likely occurred when extracting or moving the folder/files into the "mods" folder. There are no means of achieving these errors through any failed install process within the game.
I suggest deleting your AricsExpansion folder and your Strive program folder (you can keep the Strive user data folder, there appears to be nothing wrong with it), and then start over with extracting each from their folders.
Fetishes can only reveal once perday I think, update at v 1.2 https://itch.io/post/4933703
That’s correct, fetishes can only be revealed once per day at the moment.
An Undiscovered Fetish means that your characters either have a (or possible a couple) Dominant, Submission, Sadistic, or Masochistic traits. The best way to “discover” that trait is to talk to them about how they feel about inflicting pain, feeling pain, taking control, or giving up control. When you find their fetish that has acceptable/mindblowing, it will change from Undiscovered to the actual trait’s name.
Of course, I give you those details right before I update the system. Just as a heads up, that is changing to one “new” and one “changed” fetish per person per day (to speed up the flow a bit) in the new version I’m releasing soon.
Great works. When slave equip with Ancient Sword then I press End Day, error appear, end day notif not appear. Slave's confidence or fear not increased too.
Line 1632 of items.gd should say "conf" not "conf_base".
Part of playing with the Debug mod is that the game does not crash when errors occur, but as a result it aborts the current function and usually creates an avalanche of errors that continue until there is no more code in its path. As a result of the item typo, the rest of the end of day was skipped, including any slaves lower in the slave list than the slave holding the sword.
Yes, if they have Dominant, Submissive, Sadist, or Masochist it starts off hidden until discovered.
Yup, everyone! They are discoverable by talking to them about their fetishes. Just made more sense to tie them together (so you don’t have someone saying they hate losing control while being submissive, etc).
good to know thank =)
especially with the fact that gain a good trait can take a lot of try with the mutate spell so dont have to take a trait when he can be discover like that might help too in my case =)
Futa are known to be not handled correctly in the current version, the mod is undergoing some significant re-works, including how sex and attraction work. I have noticed some inconsistencies in the text during and after the sex interaction, but we have not gotten to that yet. It will be at least a few days till the next version is out.
Hey. I'm getting this error with your mod. Don't really have much information about it, I have no idea how it happened, and unfortunately I don't have a save because the autosaves already got ovewritten.

Also off topic. Is there a way to disable some abilities from appearing in the combat menu? Like disabling/hiding Mind Read? I swore I could do it in a prior build.
Click on the ? over your units portrait and you can enable/disable there. The other issue is being investigated
Great Addon, thanks for this stuff. Unfortunately my whores don't bring back all the money they earned. As you can see in Job Report they earned a few hundert golds.. but I receive only the 52 gold as reported in Global Report.
Disabling your mod would fix this issue (but saves seem not backward compatible, the game crashes when one tries to continue without your mod)
There appears to be no bugs with gold earned, though perhaps some parts of the report could be clarified. Your reports suggest that you were led astray by the fancy coloring and the fact that some tasks that don't report their numbers.
Based on only what I can see, your slaves earned 371 gold, 20 was spent on luxury rules, 52 was the earned gold for the day. Thus there is 299 gold visibly unaccounted for, but the Job Report seems to scroll further down and I don't know how many slaves are not visible.
The job report also says you have a cook that went shopping for food and the Global Report says that "Market pricing for slaves increased", which means that Ralph's tweaks are enabled. Normally the price for food is 10 gold for 20 food, but Ralph's tweaks change that to 40 gold for 20 food. Assuming that you haven't changed how much food is bought by the cook, then you likely bought the default of 200 food for 400 gold. You only gained 61 food that day, that would suggest that you had at least 14 slaves since they eat 10 food each by default, but probably you had a few more due the reduced consumption as a result of the cook.
As not all of the slaves are visible in the report and the default purchase of food would leave our unaccounted for gold at -101, I am going to assume that the remaining slaves in that report earned that much.
As of Strive 1.0d, the game was no longer released in debug mode. To remedy this, the Debug Mod was released to provide debug mode again. https://itch.io/t/1137280/debugmod-v1
Make sure that you have the most recent version of both mods as it should no longer crash for that event.
Thanks for this. I thought I'd had updated version of both mods, but apparently I downloaded right before one of them got an update posted. (For now) no crash to desktop, and now I also have the debug window back. Yay!
I noticed this particular Typo as well, when I recently played with this new version of the mod. It stems from a missing '$' before the 'He' in line 1618 of the file 'jobs&Specs.gd', which can be found under '/mods/AricsExpansion/patch/files/scripts/', for the original file, or '/files/scripts/' in the modded game folder. The same error can also be found in line 1626 in the same script, which I'd guess came from a copy and past action when writing the negative outcome when the placer loses money.
Cheers and happy new year!
Fixed, thanks mate!
Regarding the freezing/crashing, is this a longterm-ish save or one that you've fought a lot in? The only thing I could think of that would slow anything down would be if the NPC pool has grown too large and bloated the save file size. If you go into expansionsettings.gd and change minimum_npcs_to_detain to a lower number like 5-10 and up the townguardefficiency, it should reduce the pool on the next End of Day. See if that fixes the freezing issue
I found the logs in the application data file, but they are cryptic to me. Still here they are.

Sorry I have no clue what any of this means but I think there is an answer in there somewhere.
The logs you posted are completely useless. If you want useful information, then see this post: https://itch.io/post/5136034
The debug changes how the game reacts to errors, it does not remove them. In debug mode it allows for corrupt behavior and data instead of crashing on error. If you save after the point where you get an error, then your data will most likely be corrupt and require file editing to fix.
The debug mod will provide a terminal that lists errors so that you can find out exactly what is going wrong, but I suspect that your errors were caused by playing the previous version of Aric's mod, which was the cause of crashing for the person who received that post originally.
In the current version you have to spend a turn that does not involve that person as either a giver or taker; however, they can only fulfill a request if they are either a giver or taker, so it's simply not possible. This will probably be changed in the future.
Are you saying you have only found what Wimborn has? if so doing the mage guild quest line will lead to new weapons or if you need them right away if you go to Gorn (Wimborn Outskirts, Prairies, Gorn Outskirts, Gorn) there are more powerful weapons there but you need to have some gold saved up. Otherwise for early game it would be defeating bandits in the local area which can have very good drops.
have gone to gorn multiple time and nothin new at the market, so i may have fucked up the installation of the new vers =(
Instructions on installations and upgrades on front page rather clear, you wouldn't be able to get pass new game menu if you bonk it unless game non-modded.
Only thing I can add is the file line User/Username/AppData <- this mark as hidden so will need check Hidden items box from view menu that is on top toolbar to access rest of the line, should be able to follow instructions from there on.
If talking about about getting better weapons Gorn has hammers and Frostford has greatswords about strongest weapons player can buy and better versions from chests.
If you mean new gear like Rune sword, Archmage robes, Book of Life etc and more they all obtain from chest found in mountain cave, marsh, underground ruins and elite bosses. Also get new elven gear from elf guards/grove.
Thanks for the reports, I already found the repeatable quest one and I'll be working on farm ones today.
For the settings, "true" means the content is enabled and "false" means it is disabled. "brutalcontent" allows explicit npc executions. "messycontent" appears not to be implemented yet.
The game comes with a modding guide in the "Mods" menu, just click the "Help" button, but there is no guide for mods compatible with Aric's mod. The main reason is that this mod is not designed with the intent of being compatible with other mods and Strive's mod system has limited ability for mods to coexist. Also, this mod is currently in active development so any mods made to work with this could become outdated within a week or two. If you wish to add content as part of this mod, it's easiest to simply join the development on Discord, link in the first post.
Just to echo what Ank said, the best way to get involved is to join the mod's Discord (linked in the main post). We have an awesome, active community working together on it who would be happy to teach you the ropes and walk you through implementing your ideas.
For the current version of this mod, please download Strive version 1.0d, the Bugfix mod version 6b, and this mod version 1.5a and install them in that order. The previous versions of this mod are no longer supported nor required. The Bugfix mod is the only one that offers several versions, for compatibility reasons.
All 3 versions I gave are currently the latest versions, but not necessary the final version. There will likely be a new version of Strive in a few weeks.
it's just a typo, there are still quite a few bugs in the current version. Many of them have been resolved for the next version, but I'm in the middle of cleaning up the farm.
Thanks a lot! So it kind of depends on several factors, but as a general rule for a purely optimized build (which isn't required in Strive, but always fun to do), Purebreeds are where to do for the highest total stat, Hybrids are better for more evenly distributed and generalized stats, and Ralph's special hybrids put a further unique spin on it with some unique traits and stat changes that really just depend on the hybrid itself. Some of the specials are stronger than purebreeds, some far weaker. The last type, Mutts, can actually turn out to be the strongest possible build if you can get a pretty even split over multiple genealogies and have fractional percentages of them all. That takes some careful breeding, however. The elemental side is a whole different level to that, of course.
There's a lot more bugs in this last version (though I believe most if not all of the reported bugs are resolved for this upcoming release) as we were reintegrating a massive mod on this mod that had just now been updated from the old game version before a lot of code was reworked. That tweak mod had a lot of conflicts with this mod that we had to resolve and the contributors did an awesome job with setting all of the major conflicts and alterations behind tweaks inside of the mod's settings file. However, though we each did a bugtest run, we figured with the scope of the merger, natural conflicts, and added systems that there would be bugs that cropped up between that release and this. Basically, bugs suck but it wasn't unexpected.
Regarding contributing, we'd love to have you! We have an awesome team working at their own pace on multiple different ideas and levels. If you have an idea to add in or just want to help bugfixing, hop in the discord listed on the front page and we'll be happy to work with you.
Godot provides decent error handling and warnings through the Godot Engine editor. I don't know about the rest of the group but I almost never use the editor for anything except the GUI as I have a text editor with a more comfortable interface. Strive 1.0d is distributed in release mode (non-debug), but there is a Debug mod that provides the Debug mode executable for those that want to debug without the editor, which is how I do it.
That said, many of the errors that make it to the users in a mod release are typos in the data structures not in the code. It is quite easy for Godot to catch code typos when files are initialized, but it does not proofread the data as that is a difficult task to anticipate. Thus, that responsibility falls to those that work on Strive and usually it is accomplished by playing the game. It is possible to write proofreading functions for the data, but nobody has bothered yet.
Hey, yeah, join us on the discord. gdscript is pretty easy to learn - I had zero experience with it before getting involved with Aric's mod on my own mostly (though with lots of help as I went along from folks on the Strive discord). I use the Godot Engine and it's nice vs plain Notepad++ as it does flag simple errors (missing ":"'s, bad indents, etc.) I'm working with Capitualize on revamping the hybrid system currently too and input/collaboration is welcome.
Also there is another bug I noticed, if you finish a fight against 3 (2 bad, 1 bystander) and you do: Rape, Rape, Ignore. But then decide to capture the second person the actions are set back to Ignore, Ignore and when you set them back to Rape, Ignore and commit, the last person is getting raped too.
This appears to be a vanilla bug, the GUI is recreated when you perform certain actions on the slaves, but it does not update the option buttons with any prior changes. The changes to those buttons are stored in a data structure, but that data structure does not update when a slave is captured and removed from the list.
I have not seen duplicate slaves happen in recent versions, nor has it been reported by anyone else so I would expect that it is specific to something you have done or to your save file. The most likely cause would be installing additional mods besides the 2 required, Improved Random Portraits, and Constants; so if there are any additional mods, then please list them or remove them.
I would recommend not saving any progress with duplicated slaves as there can be multiple causes that can behave in weird ways, such as having two buttons for only a single slave. You may also want to consider getting the Debug mod to check for errors.
Just to piggie-back of Ank's explanation, if we get a little more detail we can probably help further as this is the first I've heard of anyone having this error. Let's run through a few of the typical issues:
Just let us know and we'll be happy to help get it sorted for you asap
That feature was not fully implemented in 1.5a, so the best solution is simply to remove it. In explorationregions.gd you should be able to find 'nereidgroup'. Simply delete the entry it is apart of with the comma.
Hey, so I downloaded 1.3, followed the install instructions and was getting a crash before Main Menu. Downloaded the Debug Mod, and I'm getting this error.
,{value = 'nereidgroup', weight = 1}If you make the change in the mod folder, then you will need to re-apply the mod.
Looks like I forgot to update some copied code, line 2130 of newsexsystem.gd (in the program folder) has
!member.person.traits.has('Likes it rough')
but it should be
!i.person.traits.has('Likes it rough')
For the issue Strap-ons being undersized, while the text does sound rather awkward there appears to be no issues. Your taker simply has a 'gaping' sized vagina, which is size 5, and I gave strap-ons a size of 4 to deal with a previous issue of them having a size of -1. The text sounds more severe than it actually is; there is only a 10% reduction is pleasure from the strap-on due to the size differences.

Great, I look forward to your findings.
Something I also saw: at first I wasn't able to tick "Breed Snails" off after it was set, then somehow it worked. Playing around with it I recognized when Breed Snails is set "on" at the first girl it also shows "on" at the other girl. I tried to switch it off on the second girl (because I had only 1 snail), which didn't work.. and going back to the first girl I couldn't set it back to off anymore. Saving and restarting the game brought it back to work, also finding another snail miracously allowed me to tick that box on and off again. Funny enough the description of breast size changes whenever one sets Snail Breeding on and off. No debug messages shown while fiddling with that tick box.
Now I got curious about the whole breeding thing and brought a guy into the farm. I saw I could set his Breeding to stud, which gives me a list of all girls as potential partners.. and me! WTF, I'm a guy.. Mean as I am I set him to Breed snails.. which changed his state from stud to Breeding Snails.. ah well.. guess guys can't do both at once, eh?
The whole stud breeding is still confusing to me. Shouldn't the list of possible partners only show slaves who gave consent to breeding? Does female lifestock get breed by studs living in the mansion or should those studs also been set into the farm? And same question with male lifestock, do they breed girls living in mansion or should the breed girls also been set into the farm? In my opinion, I would expect consent would be needed from slaves living in mansion while everything could be forced upon farm lifestock.
Sorry for all those questions but I hope you could put some light on it.
That is a fascinating test and part of what I enjoy about people playtesting this mod. I have genuinely never even thought about (at least not as far as I can recall) flipping the script and having the male as the primary in the “cattle” slot. Yes, the only options should logically be those that gave breeding Consent. Thanks for pointing that out!
Mute is a mental trait so the Elixir of Clarity by itself can remove it. That is vanilla and not altered by this mod, so yes there is a way to do that in this mod.
Edit: I should note that this mod currently does not support transitioning vanilla progresses to modded progresses.
Thank! I though that the Elixir of Clarity are only use in Laboratory so I didnt try to applies the potion directly, my bad.
also would it be nice if the mod add deaf and blind trait that can find naturally or manually add or remove it with the Lab?
or the action to add trait with the Lab would also be interesting.
anyway thank for your help!
The first mod should be the Bugfix mod not the Debug mod (both my mods, but quite different), though many people get it right and simply state it wrong. At the start of this text should have been the green text `No errors recorded.` The long post install report with many overlaps is expected and is simply too long to get any useful information from it. It is simply a result of both mods having become rather huge. The most important thing is whether or not the game crashes or gives error messages when you start the game or a progress. Note there are still quite a few bugs in the current version, some fixes are mentioned in the posts above, but the best approach is to get the current code from the Github page (just be careful of the folder name).
okay so got some issue
the part of the genetic of character dont seem to work correctly, even with the library fullly upgraded the text"aric expansion racial bonus" still is blank as my bank account. And when cliking on the name of any race i got that =(
despite that some of my slave have some bonus (in green like when you use a enchanted gear, from the start, especially full blooded one's, so it work kinda
i have up with constant the number of skill pt gained per level, but yeah she was having decent stat from the start (starting slave), but yeah she have no gear who up her stat and havent get the lab yet, and a lot of new feature seem to work, got the new training facility, the town hall, etc
So if someone can tell me how to give more information it would be nice =)
There isn't an easy DIY fix for that error, a typo in another section creates improper data structures that get added to the save file. I'd recommend either waiting for the next version, which should be out in a few days or so, or getting the current main branch from the Github as most of the known issues have already been addressed there (just be careful of the mod folder name). The Debug mod prevents most crashing by aborting the current function as soon as things go wrong, so it doesn't crash but doesn't do much either. Though a side effect of the aborted function is that it causes errors in functions that were depending on the results of that function, which is 2/3 of those errors are.
For the empty studs array I recommend this: https://itch.io/profile/ankmairdor
The farm sales have yet to be investigated.
The spider trap encounter had testing data leftover so it will appear most of the time in the current release.
There are steps in the customization process where the game regenerates the player, specifically if you change the race, sex, or age or back up from that step. When the person is regenerated you will get new genetics. That said, the bonus for 100% fox is +2 agility. Apparently there is some crude genetics work happening at the end of the customization process that always forces the player and starting slave to be purebloods and the player's racial bonuses are not updated afterwards.
damn in that case it might be that my instalation is fked up, but got the new trait, the new item, specialisation, the training ground and the colorful name, so it's strange
or do that mean that it can be re enabled by change it to true ?
also have start from vers 1.6, with debug and all if that relevant to my question.
The traits/items/specializations are fully separate from Ralphs, Ralphs just gives the unique hybrid races and some additional race alterations (along with the option for difficulty tweaks). If you were playing with Ralphs beforehand, it wouldn't automatically save your changes to expansionsettings.gd, so any changes (like enabling ralphs via the line above) would need to be readded. We're trying to come up with a solution to having to re-add all of your tweaks/changes/customizations in expansionsettings but haven't gotten there yet. You can enable it now by setting it to true though, yes.
The Debug mod is not applied through the mod system and only works for 64 bit Windows.
I'd recommend either waiting for the next version, which should be out in a few days or so, or getting the current main branch from the Github as most of the known issues have already been addressed there (just be careful of the mod folder name).
I'm tried to use var use_ralphs_tweaks = true in AricsExpansion\customScripts\expansionsettings.gd. Sorry I just wanna ask, can I enable bonus race for my MC, in ralph tweak bonus race for MC not visible.
And I'm sorry if ask silly question, how can I make my MC wearing clothes, as you can see MC not wearing it, but not catch by town law nudity.
At the moment, there isn't an easy disable for the change to the player's racial bonus stats. The code responsible for it is in scripts/person/person.gd in the cleartraits function under globals.useRalphsTweaks. It causes them to be removed from the player during creation.
I don't think there is any way to manually toggle the cloths for the player, but there may be a way to have it happen automatically, though it will limit your description of the player. In AricsExpansion/expansionsettings.gd you can change player_treats_clothing_like_slave to true and edit the save file to make sure that the player's exhibitionism fetish opinion is low. You'll want a JSON editor, find the player, find fetish, find exhibitionism, and set it to "unacceptable". In theory this should cause the player to automatically re-dress after sex, though this was just from a quick read of the code.
I'm using aric's mod v. 1.6. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding.
Sorry if I'm asking too much, but can ankmairdor make script to changeplayer.exposed value to false when I preesing button leave to town or C button at mansion. I'm novice in coding, I've tried it so many times but failed. If too many code will change the mods then don't bother to make it.
It appears that the addition of new items included a regression of effects for the Armor Breaker. To trigger the built in fix you will need to edit the save file with a text editor(you will want one with a Find tool) and change the "currentversion" from "1.0d" to "1.0" (any change will work, but this keeps it simple). I recommend making a backup of the save file as mistakes are hard to fix.
New update seems to be doing fine so far I havent gotten through my entire play-through yet , I did find a few grammar errors in the non combat encounters.
Oh also, I've seen this pop up quite a few times, and futanari are disabled in my game and my character is perfectly fine being male so why would my MC randomly think this? lol
Great catch! We're still adding in more travel events and some potential settings checks like that weren't thought of. I also believe that one is one of the ones added by the "sillymode" setting that is on by default but can be disabled in expansionsettings, but am not 100%. Feel free to let us know about any grammar mistakes that slipped by as well!
The stripped down Mac version was shared in the Mac without Wine topic; however, it appears that that topic no longer exists.
https://mega.nz/file/3MJQVJ4Y#w1vLnCqyJ8v9AMdiRLz1lf5ZJHGW9dyNgFaMdp5hIb0
This is the stripped down Mac version, you need either the Windows or Linux version for its files. There is an older copy of the MacOS mod setup in Strive's Mods menu, or in the wiki's modding guide.
Thanks for the report. It is fixed, but for the meantime it's an easy fix on your end. Go into description.gd, find showVice(), then replace:
if person.mind.vice_known == false || globals.expansionsettings.vices_luxury_effects == false:
with
if person == globals.player || person.mind.vice_known == false || globals.expansionsettings.vices_luxury_effects == false:
Sorry, it was renamed to vice_luxury_effects. It’s in customScripts/expansionsettings.gd
Thanks for the best wishes, they are well received and returned. Regarding the second dong, unfortunately I'm not sure exactly how that would play into actually being used in Sex Scenes. It's an interesting concept, but unless the dong was almost treated like a second male/futa it would involve some serious retooling of the sex scenes to actually let it be used as more than a line of text in the inspect screen. It's an interesting concept though and I'll keep it in mind as a factor when we're looking at revamping elements of the sex system to see if there's any way to set the groundwork for it without redoing the whole system.
well my first idea was how to deal with melissa cause even if i was naming the slave she kill "sacrifice" well i was quit pissed at her
and then after i was like it would be actually a interessing idea especially with the interessing feature that is the lab =)
Well that would be amazing if that was possible =)
Make sure you have the current version of the mod from itch.io (not GitHub) installed. Use the steps: un-apply Aric's mod, delete the mod folder, move the new mod folder, and apply Aric's mod.
Otherwise install the Debug mod(https://itch.io/t/1137280/debugmod-v1) and post the error message you get. The Debug mod will stop the crashing but that does not mean that your problem is gone, rather the game accepts corrupted states in order to keep going no matter what.
Alright figured out the issue it was user error.
When downloading the bug fix, I downloaded v5 because v6 explicitly said it does not work with Alaric's mod 1.4. I misunderstood that as meaning I should use 1.5.
Nope, this is 1.7 and works just fine with bugfix v6
In the previous version, the player and start slave would basically never display pureblood(100%) genes but would always be forced to be pureblood when the game was started, so re-rolling the displayed genes never mattered. The code for assigning genes to unique characters was cleaned up so that the displayed genes are always what you will receive when the game starts. It was also reported by a player that it didn't make sense for halfkins to be purebloods, so halfkins were added as exceptions to the pureblood rule unless Furry was disabled in the Options menu, in which case halfkin would take the place of beastkin in terms of genetics. The 69% animal and 31% human was hard coded for halfkin starting characters when Furry is enabled.
Unique characters will have random genes if you do not have Ralph's Tweaks enabled. (Edit: apparently this was changed and unique characters no longer get random genes) Previous versions did not support Constants mod for changing settings like Ralph's Tweaks so the files had to be manually edited every time. Though if you use Constants mod you will need to restart the game for Ralph's Tweaks to go into effect.
I don't exactly understand your problem related to getting a non-demon child. In the previous version, the race chosen for a child had an un-intended bias. It is intended that the child's race will be a random selection of one of the highest percentages if there is more than one. In the case 25/25/25/25, each race will have 1 in 4 chance to be selected. If you have a reason for wanting a different result, then you will need to clarify why and what you would prefer.
Fetishes were expanded to include several vanilla traits such as "Submissive". Vanilla systems for acquiring those traits such as the start slave's quest line and the sex interact have not been corrected, thus those traits will still be added and then later removed. Currently it is not possible to acquire and keep those traits outside of the daily fetish opinion updates.
Didn't play the previous version since was too minor an update for me to bother with (since all it changed was name colour and a few bugs, as I understand), but in the last one before that used to re-roll, hence confusion. Can understand the change to halfkin too, just seemed odd to me given the rather obscure nature of the chosen numbers.
Double checked Ralph's tweaks were on, and they are, but still experiencing the same issue with unique characters. Emily, as previously mentioned, has a ludicrously long list of genetics that doesn't seem to change for me even when start a new game. Just tried it and got the exact same list (below).
Those numbers were chosen by Ralph, I have no idea why those were specifically chosen over a random range.
Also, those genes for Emily were chosen by Ralph, it was something about being optimized for breeding, though that may no longer apply unless the equalizer setting is changed.
There are a couple solutions to your Demon breeding problem. Edit the save file to give the player something like 80% demon and 20% human; it won't update the genetic bonuses but you'll get the children you wanted. Change "player_secondaryrace" and "player_secondaryracepercent" in expansionsettings.gd and start a new progress, though I'm not certain that it works well in every case.
The fetish system is still rather new, so I expect that it will change a bit in future versions and the other issues will eventually get addressed. If you wanted to make sure the start slave quest ends as expected, then you could influence them to have the fetish opinion high enough to get that trait.
Edit: The save file is JSON formatted, so I recommend using an online JSON editor for editing the save file. Also make a backup if you do, it's hard to fix save files.
It seems that in the process of removing the old milking system, I failed to notice that "person.lactating.daysunmilked" was only updated in the old system. There are currently no safe and easy methods to stop lactation. The only way that exists at the moment is the mutation spell.
There is not an exact match to that old system's code format so the update of that value is somewhat complicated.
The zero-ing of that value would need to be added to extractMilk in expansionFarm.gd.
person.lactating.daysunmilked = 0 #add var milkproduced = 0
The incrementing(+= 1) of the value would need to be added to dailyLactation in expansion.gd just after the code checking if they are lactating.
if person.lactation == false: return text person.lactating.daysunmilked += 1 #add
Note that the leading tabs are turned into spaces and I have excluded one layer of tabs, so you cannot simply copy this code into your file.
Also, if you use the leak spell on them, suck on their nipples or use a milker during sex it will reset the timer.
I just went back through the library and didn't see it there. I must have read it someplace else. So the Library is all good. Sorry about that. Even though the new farm is a complete overhaul, I noticed that the farm manager does still perform similarly to its old way by subbing in as a farm hand and milk maid if you don't have any. Would it also be possible to add Milk Merchant to the farm manager's duties if no one else is doing it? At least then all the original farm functionality would be back. Maybe with whatever energy the manager has left being a negative multiplier towards profits. With higher energy, the manager would be more willing to deal with getting good prices, lower energy and they'd just want to get everything sold so they could go home and sleep, lol.
The Milk Merchant position is actually pending a fairly substantial overhaul itself to get it closer to where the original intention was. It should allow more direct control over milk sales, city interests, etc. However, I will keep that in mind as a strong possibility to see how easily I can tie that feature into what is planned. That's a good suggestion and I appreciate the feedback.
The “strip immediately” options (from Talk or the toggle in customize) are just for them to strip right then. If you want them to remain nude, you have to brand them and use the nudity rule (like in vanilla). The tooltip from hovering over the customization toggle button should explain that as well as the nudity rule toggle (if unlocked via brand).
Lip sizes do add lisps if at the extreme side of the scale, but reducing doesn’t immediately remove lisps. I believe there’s a chance every day, but the quickest way is to just the lab to remove it (as it is a physical trait).
If you mouse over the left side of the character names, it shows the character’s body image.
Something may be broken on your save if you can’t open your self-inspect menu. I haven’t heard of or seen a bug around that in this version. It may be fixable though. If you aren’t already, download and start the game with the debug exe. See if you’re getting an error when trying to open self-inspect in that. We may be able to talk you through fixing the save, though if it’s just a mid installation it may also work if you just reinstall it fresh and reattempt the save.
That’s the order, that may be part of what messed it up. Technically you have to go in exact reverse order of installation. It would have to be uninstall Aric’s to uninstall the bugfix and reinstall the bugfix before reinstalling Aric’s. If you uninstalled the bugfix while Aric’s was active, that did likely Bork things up.
I’d recommend to uninstall both, download/extract a new game and reinstall to be safe. If it still happens from there, try going to in your AppData/Strive/mods/AricsExpansion/customScripts/expansionsettings and changing the version number to something higher like 17a or something. It’ll force the game to rerun backwards compatibility and hopefully fix the issue if it’s related to the save game.
