Does anyone know a way to download an older version of strive that will work with this mod? Even with all of the improvements 5.23 + made it feels kinda lack luster not using this mod.
Tried that, and I still get "Null" in the speech. The console gives the following new error:
SCRIPT ERROR: talkKegels: Invalid operands 'Object' and 'float' in operator '/'.
At: user://mods/AricsExpansion/scripts/expansion.gd:683
Here's the current relevant line in expansion.gd (sans tabs)
if person.sstr*2 + person.lastsexday + capacity + rand_range(0,10) >+ rand_range(50,100)/capacity:
Oh hey, that fixes it. Cool.
I also fixed another bug I found in the mod that prevented slaves with wits below 0 from even talking to the PC.

Enjoy the updated mod.
[EDIT]
Woops, forgot to enable sharing. Should be open to everyone now.
Also, I've encountered some other bugs. One leads to a divide by zero issue when doing the Kegels talk.
Thanks for updating this, man! I haven’t forgotten about this mod but had some stuff pop up in my life that put it on the back burner for a few months. I plan on resuming work on it pretty soon to bring out a lot of those features previously discussed and make sure everything plays nicely with the alterations maverik made in 5.24c.
Which version of the mod (The updated to 5.24c in the comments or the main mod itself) are you using, and what is your game version? The person class changed in 5.24c, I believe, which is why the mod needs a decent overhaul to ensure that it is referencing the correct locations and dictionaries. It may be related to that
Here, I nabbed a screenshot real quick of a new game. I used quick start, so because the player is always clothed, I have no idea what my starting sizes were, and if I were to add piercings or tattoos I wouldn't be able to see them in the 'Inspect looks' section because the player's clothes are always on AFAIK. (Can't tell yourself to strip, or give yourself the 'partially naked' rule.)
As I’ve stated multiple times, I’m not just updating the released version of the mod, I’m rewriting it in addition to adding several major new features. And things have come up a few times that had left me not working on it for a while. The released version had a lot of areas that were inefficient and a pain to update every time Maverik released a new version, plus I’m trying to clean it up so other modders can make it play well with their mods (as it is not made to play well with others now).
I appreciate you updating the version as is, and I’m sure others will as well.
The unnecessary hostility? That is less appreciated. We’re all just here to have a good time, man.
I haven’t tried the conversion yet (as my game is set up for my re-write), but try deleting or moving your “progress data“. This sounds like the common error with heavy mods. Saves will show blank afterward, but they should load correctly afterwards and then show correctly upon the next save (if it’s that error).
I would recommend backing up your save data first. If you’re unfamiliar, it’ll be under the Strive folder in your App Data (around where you installed the mod).
Part of what I'm working on now (and trying to recode) in addition to cleaning up the old script is something similar to this. As breeding is (obviously) one of my favorite parts of this game, I am trying to work out a stat/traitline system similar to games like Breeding Season. Currently I've got the system working so there are multiple "trees" under one trait (Ie: Lactation has Milk Regeneration and Milk Storage) that have 1-5 positive traits and 1 possible negative per line. Based on the traitline level of the parents, the children will have increased "traitline" levels which should both encourage and give a long-term purpose to breeding.
At the moment that hasn't included stats, but eventually I'd like to have "max stat" potentials to where the children have increased maxed stats based off of their parent's race. Having starting stats higher may be game-breaking, but I think that will drive the benefit of having different races breed as well to increase the different max stats. That is merely in the idea stage though and I haven't seen what obstacles may be in the way of that yet.
Thank you for your suggestion! I appreciate the feedback!
Sounds awesome man, I can't wait. I don't think the stat thing would be too game breaking though. It's really no different than buying a slave, or capturing one that already has a few points distributed. Maybe even, instead of having them inherit some of their current stats, have them start off with a few more points to attribute instead of the default 2, to show their lineage. Like is Dad is level 10 and mom is level 5, child starts with 3 stats points and have a max of like 5 or something.
Maybe I'm weird, but I feel like my hard work in leveling and training my slaves should have more impact on their children so I can specialize and ship them off, or put them to work easier. lol
I love this game, and your mod makes it even more enjoyable. I think the only thing I'd complain about is that I wish there were more stories/scenes with the main cast or longer sex descriptions for the mini game. Multiple partners especially seems so dumbed down almost feels like a grind at times, to me, at least. Like 'Okay, they're all horny... just use this potion and bang 'em all at once. Hit this button multiple times, move on.' XD
hey dude, just wanted to say I'm loving your expansion so far. I managed to find a bug that has been bothering me on a few saves 
I'm using 5.22c (the version your provided in the mod)
basically the day "progresses" but i don't get a pop-up for the end of day information. and it prevents interactions from refreshing.
it only happens when assigning slaves to the farm, the three girls listed are all lactating, have big breast size, (the middle one is female the other two are futanari's)
I've tried putting the girls in individually, selling and not selling the produce but the error still pops up and I'd love to know what i can do to fix this as using them to produce food is much easier than sending slaves hunting.
I'd also like to know how can i get slaves to obtain the pisswhore trait line? as having them clean themselves up after sex only seems to give them the cumslut trait.
very excited to see what your next expansion overhaul will be on the next update man. love your work and look forward to hearing from ya.
Thanks for bringing that up and I really appreciate the feedback! I'll be sure to look out for that error in the new version and appreciate the details! It's been several months since I messed with the old version so I honestly can't say specifically (I completely remodeled my trait system for the new version so it works differently), but I believe there is a chance of gaining either cum or piss on cleanup as well as the primary way of force-feeding the desired potion (cum or piss) to the person until they gain the trait. The second method is far more reliable, as I recall. Hope that helps for now!
Made some more progress on it today and hopefully with have a playable version in the next week or two. I will likely release it as a separate mod (leaving the old one up for now) as it is completely rewritten from the ground up. That way the old option will still be available for those who prefer it.
If of interest, didnt notice this bug back when i was playing arics mod, however i did just find some change notesfor references to a body part in the "####Intro Restrictions" section of `statstab.gd` (in my version, actual bug on line 166, might be diff line number though). Changed it to `person.v..` and no more end day bugs.
Had thought i solved more than one end day bug, could only find any notes for that one though. Pretty stable overall, even if a milk was a little OP ;)
I can secod the bug about having people in the farm, however, it's only the milkers. Those in the hatchery with the snails don't cause the problem. The moment you put someone in the milkers though, you no longer get updates on the daily progress. So, basically I just keep them out of the milkers and have girls in the hatchery instead.
Not that I think it matters at this point, as we all await the new version! Can't wait!
I haven't tested it extensively, but I believe it starts after the first upgrade to the farm. So, the initial purchase works, but the second you upgrade it the milkers bug out. It's been a minute since I've been there though, so it might have just done it at the start. All I can say for sure is that it does do happen and it's anytime there are people (Cows) in the milker. The hatchery works fine, other than the nurseries all getting reup up with your Head Girl instead of your Farm Manager. XD
Generally, when a mod fails to change stuff after being applied through the mod screen, it means that the mod folder is incorrectly positioned. This can result from extracting a mod into a new folder if the mod already comes inside a folder, or if the game's path to the mods folder has been changed.
Please check that the info.txt file is located at position "../Roaming/Strive/mods/AricsExpansion/info.txt", if there are more or less steps in the path then it will not work.
Just in case, multiple mod support was bugged until version 0.5.25.
Version "modded" only reports that a mod was added to the list of active mods, it does not guarantee any other result.
The fastest way to check is to search the game files for a mod only script file like ".../files/scripts/expansion.gd", or open (edit: in a text editor)".../files/scripts/traits.gd" and check for mod additions like Slutty, Whore, or Bimbo traits.
I re-examined your first post and did think of some possible conflicts with existing versions, though they shouldn't prevent you from seeing mod changes. If you have removed your "../Roaming/Strive" folder before switching to this mod then this will be irrelevant. Reset the game's mods, renaming the current "../Roaming/Strive" folder to render it inactive, start the game(creates new folders), copy over to the new folders the mod and any pictures, and re-apply the mod.
Not everything is visible from the images shown, but of the information provided, it all looks correct. And the game certainly looks like it believes it has installed the mod. If you open that "AricsExpansion" folder you should see 2 folders, globals.gd, and info.txt. If that's what you see when you open that folder, then you've put it in the right place.
yea, and things don't work. I checked by going in game and buying the nursery upgrade, and it can only be bought once. Also I played about 5 hours before that with the mod installed and never saw any of the mod content.
I think the error logs hint at something going wrong. Like something can't be accessed. Could it have anything to do with windows 7 admin access?
OK guys I was able to diagnose and solve the problem. Apparently installing Strive in my Program Files directory screwed things up and denied admin access to the mod attempting to change the install directory, coz my Windows 7 install has some issues.
I simply installed the game elsewhere without admin restrictions and now I've gotten it to work. The error log no longer throws up anything except this: 
All in all I'm happy I can at last try out this mod, thanks for all the help guys :D
I think the OP makes it pretty clear that the mod works only with the version 0.5.22 that is also available in the OP.
No, it does not currently work with the most recent release. Side note, 0.5 is not a complete version number. The latest release is 0.5.25, while this mod works with 0.5.22. (although I believe the author is working on updating it)
I am most looking forward to the size matters add on. Will there be associated traits with it? It would be nice if you got birth traits like snug/loose fit and learned traits like size queen/small size lover.
Also will there be any new dialogue with the system? People reacting to the sizes in positive or negative ways?
It is going to be for 5.25.
There is going to be related Dialogue, but sizing traits aren’t going to be implemented in this version. If requested, I can make them as a Display/reference, but they are shown and described during the “Slave Description” panel and I didn’t want to overload the trait panel (as there are already other traits being added).
There is a Fetishes system that is implemented, though again it isn’t displayed in Traits and rather is shown under its own category in Statistics Panel. Same reasoning as above, but both are easily changed to Traits if that’s what people prefer. Just trying to make it feel additive without overwhelming.
Related to that, the “Incest” and “Size Matters” systems already has the potential for major arousal/lust changes during sex. I don’t want to break the system so I’m releasing the sex system changes without adding in the sizing fetish preferences, but after I think there is a decent balance with the sizing sensitivity system then they will also gain/lose arousal in certain size-related actions that match their preferences.
Hope that clarifies and don’t hesitate to ask anything else about it!
For the existing mod (5.22), there isn’t a well done changelog. That’s one thing I’m fixing in the new version as I rewrite it. The old version was a lot of me going “Ooh, wait, I can make it do this? That’d be fun!” and not writing down my changes. Looking back, that’s just as frustrating for me as it is for you guys.
Resizing can happen in the old version via the “Kegels”, but only for Vaginas.
There is a dialogue option in the new version that can resize anuses and vaginas that is tied into the new conversation checks.
it doesn't work with 5.25. The mod description says so(at least at the time) and the game crashes every time I tried. It doesn't really matter sense the Aric's Rebred Mod came out to largely overhaul Arics Mod. The overly horny slaves being the more annoying problem to have, considering you get the Heal spell after a few days in game.
This version is no longer supported as all of my effort is going into the Aric’s Expansion ReBred. Are you using that version (with 5.25) or this (with the 5.22)?
