Aric's Expansion Rebred v1.8d: Holiday Bugfixes!

Version Game-Breaking Bug Risk Level: Low
Previous Save Compatible: v1 (If using Ralph's Tweaks - New Save Recommended)\

Version v1.8d is here in time for the holidays! The AE team's elves worked overtime this year, but I think the sheer volume of bugfixes, tweaks, and Quality of Life updates were worth the numerous Health and Safety risks. There's still a big update to the dialogue system in the works to round out the release of v1.9, but hopefully this adds that special something to your eggnog. Happy Winter holiday of your choice, everyone!

Click Here to Download (v1.8d)

IMPORTANT (Ignore if just Updating): If you are installing this mod fresh (without having played it before on Strive4Power version 1d), this mod now requires Ankmairdor's BugFix v6b. It is mandatory and makes the new, far easier method of installing this game work, this mod won't install correctly without it. Please leave him a like/positive comment, his fixed mod framework is what eliminated that old 10-12 step process to install this massive mod. Once you have the Ankmairdor's BugFix v6b and AricsExpansion downloaded, all of the installation details are in the info.txt file (or you can read the updated version below).

Download Ankmairdor's BugFix v6b (Required!)

Smart people make backups of their save files: If you are using a non-backed up save file, it might become damaged while playing with a modded game. If your 50+ hours story mode campaign is lost and your favorite virtual waifu is gone forever because you DIDN'T copy and paste your save file somewhere nice and safe, please note that THIS is your warning that could have prevented it.  Pro move? Back up your Progress Data as well.

Installation and Update Instructions - IMPORTANT

Any time that a new version of the mod is released or on a fresh install, you absolutely must do the following:

  1.  Extract Ankmairdor's BugFix v6b and this mod, AricsExpansion, into your %AppData%/Strive/mods folder
  2.  Verify that the extracted folders are "Strive-1.0d-Bugfix-V6b" and "AricsExpansion" (If they aren't, the correct folders are likely within the ones you extracted.)
  3.  Start the Game; Activate BugFix v6b (and ONLY this). Hit the Exit Game button.
  4.  Start the Game; Activate AricsExpansion BENEATH BugFix v6b. Hit the Exit Game button.
  5.  Start the Game; Make a New Game. Immediately SAVE (as soon as possible). LOAD that game you just Saved.
  6.  You are ready to play! Have fun and enjoy the new features. If you have any Bugs, please use the Debug mod to give me the specific error so we can resolve it.
  7. To upgrade BugFix 5a to v6b: Walk backwards through the steps. Fully deselect/uninstall ONLY AricsExpansion, Restart, THEN uninstall the Bugfix, restart, then start back at step 1 to reinstall all the new goodies. Take it slow, don't skip steps, and you won't break things.
  8. If you are using RalphsTweaks or want to enable/disable any features, please go to %AppData%/Strive/mods/customScripts/expansionsettings.gd and enable/disable your features. Custom Settings in expansionsettings.gd currently don't preserve through mod updates (but we're working on a solution to that).

Changelog and Updates

Changelog for v1.8d

All Changelogs (All Changelogs leading up to v1.8, the rest are on the itch.io mod page under Dev Logs)

GitHub and Discord

  • If you are interested in keeping up with the very latest work as we update the mod, check out our GitHub. You can download the latest working version there with all bugfixes and new features, but you MUST rename the folder to AricsExpansion (as GitHub adds a '-main' to the folder name).
  • If you're interested in talking to us regarding the mod, bugs, new features, etc; swing by our Discord.

Only Install This Mod IF:

  1. You backed up your saves and Progress Data. I don't want to get blamed for breaking any games.
  2. You are willing to deal with the occasional bug and report those to me in this thread. I try to stay on bug-fixes when they are reported and will do my best, but please keep in mind that I do this on the side for fun and don't get too pissed off if I don't get to one right away.

I couldn't do this without you guys!

•Mod Compatibility• 

Note: It is fairly obvious, but I highly recommend releasing any patches as a separate downloadable option and not doing this process for the original mod files, as that will cause an error if the user doesn’t have Aric’s installed and active.

Note 2: This mod touches a LOT of files, due to the project to make full hybrid race support. 

To make Aric’s Expansion compatible with another mod: 1) Compare the files that the two mods alter from the base game (generally under “scripts”). Note any that both mods touch. 2) Find the alterations Aric’s Expansion made to the script. These are always between the “#—-Added by Expansion—-#” and the end marked by #—-Expansion End—-#”. 3) Copy and paste each section from Aric’s Expansion into the mod’s files. 4) Modify any “#Changed By Expansion#” parts of the script to match Aric’s Mod (usually by placing # in front of the changed part) 5) Ensure the mod (or patch of a separate patch was created instead) loads after Aric’s Expansion (which should override Aric’s with the patched mods files).

Files that could not be specifically marked (Items and Traits) have their Modified script added to the end of their relative scripts.


---------------------------------------------------General Features---------------------------------------------------

Note: I've removed several of the "Explanations" for the new systems as some were out of date or just lengthy and replaced with the general Overview below for those requesting it. I plan on starting to work on a fleshed out "ReadMe" document with the detailed look at the explanations after the new update.

•Overview•

What is Aric's Expansion Rebred? At this point, its pretty much a Strive 4 Power expansion. It touches, changes, and updates most things in the game and adds multiple new systems. Some examples of the new systems or changes are:

  • NPCs Expanded - Genital/Breast/Lip Sizes, Stripping/Nudity (including new supported Image Types), Expanded Talk Functions (Consent, Fetishes, Dialogue Events, Randomized Master Nouns, etc), Lactation Overhaul + Traits, Personality Flaws/Traits (for Dialogue variance), New Movement Options (Flying, Walking, Crawling, Immobile) with Combat Support, New General Traits (Ditzy, Lisp, etc)
  • Sex Expanded - Kinsey Scale Sexuality System (for wider options than Straight/Bi/Gay) with shifting sexualities based on actions, Attraction System, Cum Tracking, New Sexual Requests, New Sex Dialogue, Genital Wear and Tear, Incest
  • Pregnancy Expanded - Overhaul of the Pregnancy System, Pregnancy Speed Changes, Offspring Stat Boosting, and more
  • Character Customization - New Specializations and Starting Slave Specializations, Sizing Support
  • World Expansion - Persistent NPCs with personal reputations and interaction tracking, Town Events, Town Reputation Changes
  • Farm Expansion - A brand new reworked farm panel, ways of milking/breeding, new jobs, a variable Milk Economy, trait lines, snail breeding, and items!

•Consent•

One of the most common questions now is: "Why won't anyone join my party?"

You haven't asked them to (in the new consent system). The Consent System is found under the "Talk > Lets talk about Consent" area. This will show you any topics you can ask for consent for that you haven't gotten consent for OR asked and been refused that same day. To join a party, they must agree to Travel/Fight with you (in v.07 Unique Characters can always join, even without consent). Sex consent can be obtained through this method or the standard Dating method. The rest have a chance based on their obedience, loyalty, and possibly their opinion of the fetish (ie: Incest/Pregnancy). If they refuse you, you can ask again the following day.

•New Image Types: Nude & Pregnant•
You know how in the main gate there are images for the characters Clothed, Naked, Etc? Do you have that favorite Slave that you wish you could have a naked or pregnant image show for without manually changing it?

This mod will now look for a picture of any Slave that has a Body Image Set and either try to find, in this order:
A pregnant image if Pregnant Duration > 0
Otherwise a naked image if at least 2 of out of the 3 are exposed (Chest, Genitals, Ass).
If the Slave isn’t pregnant, isn’t naked, or there isn’t a valid image for either than it will try to reset the original body image if it was changed or leave it alone if it was not.

You, the player, will have to go into the folder where your Portraits/Bodies/Mods are and add pictures to the following folders:
bodiesnaked
bodiespreg

The game will then look in those folders, HOWEVER, keep in mind that all images (portrait, bodies, bodiesnaked, and bodiespreg) will have to have the exact same name and extension (ie: sexyslave.png) or the game wont find it.

Let me know the inevitable series of problems this will cause, and hopefully, Enjoy!

Sex, Stretching, and Wear & Tear

Size matters during sex! Each partner's lust and sensitivity increases or decreases by 10% for each level of difference between the holes. Larger members = larger arousal gains, but also the potential to Stretch or even Tear the hole.

Check Changelog for v.05

•Pregnancy•
Pregnancy Consent
You know what sucks? Being a Slave, getting fucked (willingly or not), then BOOM, you’re pregnant.
Or it did. Because now you have a say!

Consent
Because Consent matters, slaves now have the option to be asked for consent to impregnate them. You still can without consent, but the pregnancy is going to be a lot more stressful for them as they carry an unwanted child. With their consent, having a baby can be a Loyalty building experience instead!
But what if you aren’t the one impregnating them? What if you want one of your Breeding Studs to, or even crazier, one of their family members?
They can be asked about that and give consent for that as well.

Wanted Pregnancies
Unwanted Pregnancy - +Stress for the duration of the pregnancy
Wanted Pregnancy - +Loyalty for the duration of the pregnancy

Consent Types
Through interaction system:
Sex (with you) - They will have sex with you
Through the Dialogue System
Pregnancy (Must have Sex Consent) - They will have a baby with you.
Breeding Stud - They’ll breed others for you without having to have sex with you first (so no more forced M/M unless you want to)
Breeder - They’ll willingly get pregnant with any Studs
(Incest supersedes the above)
Incest - They will willingly have sex with family members (you included)
Incest Breeder - They will be willing to get pregnant with their relatives offspring

Note: If the Slave has an incredible stressful pregnancy OR has reached their desired number of children, they may revoke Pregnancy Consent after birth.

Consent Factors
Pregnancy -
Desired Number of Offspring:
Slaves now have a Desired Number of Offspring randomly decided for them (Modified by their race, some races just breed more).
#Note: Currently not playing nice
Biological Clock - 
Slaves have a Biological Clock that, depending on their age, spurs them toward wanting to procreate IF their number of children is less than their Desired Number of Children

Mansion Upgrades
The Nursery can be upgraded to 2 different levels.
The first level will unlock the ability to keep the children (as per vanilla game), as well as the Breeder and Stud Jobs.
The second level will allow you to adjust the speed of Pregnancies by talking to your Head Girl.

#Future Plans: A third level that will allow you to unlock specific Traits or open up multiple Baby pregnancies.

•Sex•
This is a harder one to define as a lot ties in together. Then again, I suppose all of it does to some extent.

Sexuality (and the Kinsey Scale)
Sexuality is a spectrum. Just not in this game. Well, that’s fixed. No longer are you “Bisexual”, “Homosexual”, or “Other”. Detailed in the in-game Library.

•Combat Changes•

Movement comes in a few different flavors. This is (hopefully) the template to build off some new, cool combat options. For now, if a unit can fly, isn't encumbered (via items, titsize, or pregnancy/inflation), and isn't exhausted, they will. If a unit is exhausted or restrained, they will crawl. Too exhausted, restrained, or overweight, they will only be able to lay there.

Movement Types
Flying - Speed/Attack Increased 125%
Walking - Normal
Crawling - Speed/Attack Decreased 50%
None - Speed/Attack are 0

Combat Stress Reworked - Combat stress has been reworked from a flat amount every time to a chance to gain stress each time the unit takes damage depending on their courage and the amount of damage taken. This allows for longer expeditions as well as adding more functionality to the “Protect” action.

v1.2 Changelog

NEW FEATURES

<Person Expanded>

  • Once Per Day Notifications: Shows a list of once per day notifications at the bottom of the Person Inspection in the Mansion Updated the Consent Criteria to be more intuitive, like not being able to ask about pregnancy until you've gotten consent for sex. This should help with the frustration of trying to optimize your day and feel like you've missed one of your once per day options. (description.gd / statstab.gd)
  • Improved Dialogue: Improved the Fetish checks for better immersion. Reorganized Chat Buttons to be more intuitive. Added a Return to Previous Screen to Sexual Topics. Added the current Sexuality to the Sexuality Talk Options. (statstab.gd)

<Mansion Improvements>

  • Facility Descriptions: Set the Facility Description for the Dimensional Crystal behind a setting called show_facilities_details_in_mansion, default true. If enabled, it will show the familiar Dimensional Crystal mansion text as well as the new Training Grounds. It is set up to easily add text descriptions added for any other facilities in the future for a full, quick detailed glance at your entire mansion's facilities. (mansion.gd)
  • Fixed/Added the Jobs and PlayerGroup Panel for some QOL.
  • Farm Panel Improvements (including in-game help/guide).
  • Made the Farm Start easier by reducing the cost of Vats, shifting most of that to Field, and reducing the starting cost for the first Vat to 0. Improving Vats retains a cost.

<Exploration>

  • Improved Text for the post-combat scene for easier reading. (exploration.gd)

<Fetishes>

  • The game will now automatically update Traits per Fetishes (specifically for Dominance, Submission, Sadism, and Masochism). Discovering, Encouraging, and Discouraging Fetishes can manipulate these traits now.
  • These traits will be hinted at with a trait called "Undiscovered Trait"

<Childbirth>

  • Altered Panel. You now have 3 primary "Raise" options: 500 Gold, 250 Gold and 25 Mana, or 50 Mana. You also have 2 "give away" options, though the second (sacrifice the baby to the dark crystal) is hidden until the relevant ability is researched at the Crystal.
  • Added Mother's Portrait to the Panel. Enabled BBText and added coloration to the Panel for legibility.

BUGFIXES

Several by Ankmairdor (unlisted)

<Slave Inspect>

  • Fixed the duplicated "her breasts are" text. (description.gd)

v.05.1 Changelog

Hotfix

General Changes

Corrected Sizing Arrays in Outside for Repeatable Quests Changed all expansion-trait tags to expansiontrait in my traits
Fixed Restrained check in DailyUpdate (Still using Boolean from prior to String switch).
Fixed Intro Name color to Aqua instead of Green. Implemented expansion version element to upgrade existing games
Fixed the Soreness bug (should have been lactating.sore
Realized you call it via globals.state not globals.progress and it fixed so many things.
Set groundwork for new Id/Ego system and Treatment system (for corruption gameplay)
Resolved several issues from the new features.
Moved all Expansion Setup and One-Time run functions to a separate file for easier navigation.


SHINY NEW FEATURES

Better Bandits (ie: Aric's Nemesis System)
Isn't it weird how none of the bandits or baddies you fight know each other? Not one guard has an opinion about their comrade in arms? Not one person on the road is related to another? Well, not anymore!

Enemies that are the same race will have a strong chance to be related. There may be the rare, occasional funkiness (I have seen one person be both their partner's sister and mother at the same time, though I think I fixed that bug). If it throws up and error or breaks your game, just let me know. I THINK I got most of the kinks worked out, and I tested it a fair bit.

Enemies that aren't related still have an opinion about their friends. I mean, ya don't rob travelers together and not get to know someone. They will start off with a random opinion towards the other members of their group (though typically lower than relatives).

Persistant Enemies
This is the part that had me pulling my hair out. Enemies and battled road-folk (I mean, if ya fight or enslave them, they are your enemy) are tracked and persistant. That means that, for example, if you fight 2-3 elves that are related to each other and one gets away, not only will the two you capture have their relation filled by that absent member, there will be a chance to meet them again in the area you fought them. This chance does grow over time, so eventually you will have another chance to fight and enslave that person. This also works if you release the person, so if you get stuck out there with no ropes and are kicking yourself for not grabbing that awesome slave? No worries, you'll bump into them again.

My only untested concern on this system currently is late game save bloating. I haven't experienced it but can't play from start to finish to have a full mansion and hundreds of battles under my belt. If this is experienced, let me know and I can impliment a "flee the area" counter of sorts that will remove them after X number of times. I think it may balance itself, however, as if you fight 50-100 battles in an area you will "populate" that area with familiar faces. Eventually the area will just pull encountered enemies unless you start killing them off or capturing/selling them instead of releasing them.

Needless to say, if you see someone who you just hate and don't want to encounter again? Kill 'em and they are gone.

Stretching (New to v0.5)

While previously part of Wear&Tear, Stretching has been separated into its own entity. The likelihood of stretching has been slightly lessened, but can occur multiple times during sex. Have no fear though, it doesn't have to be permanent! The hole may bounce back after sex or while orgasming without being penetrated in that holedepending on the person's Elasticity and only gain some or even none of the stretching as permanent damage to the hole.

Note: Only Penis penetration is currently tracked for stretching. For immersion sake, just imagine the dildos are all the exact size for the person.

How does this change things?

Stretching during sex is less detrimental. It also means that as sex continues, the hole will likely conform to the size of the member (if larger) and reduce the large arousal gains. It also means that switching holes will provide a greater overall benefit as it will allow holes to recover (giving a larger bonus due to their smaller size) during orgasms and hopefully encourage people to use a variety of actions more often.

New Traitlines

Pliability: Reduces the chance to Tear from Stretching

Elasticity: Reduces the chance for Stretching to be permanent after Sex


Wear&Tear (New to v0.5)

Depending on the Pliability of a hole (which is currently shared between both the vagina and asshole), a hole may tear when stretched. This will cause immediate stress, then will apply a 25% penalty on all future penetrative actions using that hole until the next day. A hole can be stretched and torn even further, which will cause another stress penalty at double the original amount.

What are the penalties?

Stress: The Initial Tear and Subsequent Tears

25% Arousal/Lust Loss per Action: Any penetration using that hole until the next day

Updates/Fixes

Breeding (Pregnancy Content)

Split Dimensional Crystal off of Nursery. Existing Nursery level 2-3 will transfer to the Crystal instead.
Added new Dialogue Event: Wanted Pregnancy
Fixed DesiredOffspring features for WantedPregnancies
Fixed Cum Tracking (and Description/Scenes needing it)
Slaves born in the mansion sell for 25% more than found or bought slaves and receive the same increase in upgrade points. This can be increased to 200% with the Breeder specialization (To allow that to be a viable Gameplay focus).

Family Matters (Incest)

New Better Bandits system
Added Relationship rank to Relation Values (Obsessed)
Added Relationship next to Character's Relations values under Statistics (for easier reference) (ie: Sister shows next to Affection rating)
Added a splash of color (it was drab)
Added Incest Orgasm, Incestlike, and Incest slave dialogue
Altered the IncestOrgasm tracker in the sex system to display resistance, forced orgasm, and end of encounter opinion change content.

Sex Changes

Some new Sex Requests have been added for greater variety, including a series based on the Cum Tracking features.
Altered and cleaned up the End of Encounter a bit to make it less numerical and more story-based
Reduced the frequency of tearing slightly per action.
Clarified the Pussy/Ass Sore message to only Penetration.
Fixed the "Desired Fulfilled" format to display correctly on another line. Realized that there is a second Orgasm function inside the participant class which should fix Cum Tracking.
Added specific Arousal Gains to text and a trigger to disable via globals.progress.perfectinfo if unwanted. Will add PerfectInfo disable into options in the future.
Some fetishes and traits will now trigger Requests during sex.

Size Matters
Added 20%-30% Tightening Chance each night (minimum of Average) depending on how gaped it is.

Descriptions
Slightly more reorganization
Gave Breasts a header
Gave Ass Size the aqua color to match the others

Consent Issue

Fixed a really stupid error with Incest Consent removing itself if the fetish was below half, even if it was given already.
Changed to only remove if the fetish hits the minimum (taboo) and trigger the conversation event.
Fixed Pregnancy Consent not triggering issue

New Player Specializations

Breeder - Starts with a Nursery, all Fertility is increased by 25%, and slaves born in the mansion sell for 200% more gold and upgrade points than found or bought slaves.

New Starting Slave Specializations

Genius - Start with Clever and Randomly Responsive or Gifted. Start with randomly either Weak, Clumsy, or Frail

New Dialogue Events
Want the Baby - She'll explain that she has decided that she wants the baby, even if no consent was given.
Incest Consent Given - She'll ask you your opinion on Incest (as her opinion on it has grown more positive).
Incest Consent Removed - She'll ask you your opinion on Incest (as her opinion on it has grown more negative).

Bugfix v.05.1
Elf Quest for the Brothel had another issue. Corrected it.

Resolved v.02 Bugs
Image Replacer switched Full Body to Null - Reported by Darkness >Found and resolved the issue
Penis Size still loops. Anus Potion option not showing. Reported by Cobbly >Couldn't replicate, but changed from pulling from the array size to Expressly Stated options.
Futa not assigning correctly at birth. Penis is attaching but showing Female. Reported by Targardevelyne >Found and resolved issue.
Male Size Req for Quest only takes Average. Reported by Targardevelyne >I believe this was corrected in the Sizing Arrays for Repeatable but asked for clarification to ensure it isn't a specific request I'm forgetting.
Stretching is showing without penetration -  Reported by Taygardevelyne >Tested and stretching occurred during oversized penis, not with undersized, and went away the next day correctly. Check if issue in V.02 still (may not have been clearing previously).
Taurus for Quest Stage 3 invalid if Tits are greater than Huge. Reported by MrMud7 > Found and Resolved
Same-Sex caused Stress for a Gay Participant - Reported by Maou Emilio > Found the cause. Incest check had a missing elif (if instead) and caused the else to always apply some stress to an incest check no matter what. Resolved

Changelog v.06

Known Issues

Orgy Scenes read weird (showing both names for each line in the +/- Arousal text)

Traitlines aren't working correctly on impregnation. If you see an error called trait during impregnation, that's why. It shouldn't affect gameplay

Note
I played on an old save and it seemed to work without issue. Tested the town, slaves, and multiple exploration runs. Hopefully there's nothing I'm missing this time, but tell me if you find it.

Bug-Tested Prior to this Release (I'm trying, folks):
Town Mage's Order, Slaver's Guild (all functions), Market District, Red Lantern & Brothel Services, Outside/Combat with People and Beasts, Dating Scenes, Sex Scenes, Talk Functions, 

Settings (NEW to v.06)
Located at the top of Expansion.gd (eventually will have an ingame menu)
Will be able to disable Brutal or Messy (lots of fluids) content if those aren't your thing (partially implimented).
Can disable "Perfect Info" to use the new Knowledge System (half-implimented, coming very soon)

Brothel Services (NEW to v.06)
Wimborn Brothel now has 2 services for its discerning clients. You can enjoy a Fairy to gain 25 energy for 50 gold and a Dark Elf to gain 10 mana for 50 gold.
The Fairy only shows if the Player's Energy is less that 100 (as more than that will be lost with no benefit).
#There are more "scenes", girls, and interaction coming with Towns Expanded

True Savegame Backwards Compatibility (NEW to v.06) - Partial
This one is going to be a process, but I'm working on getting the UpdatePerson to add each component that every new version adds to that person if they are from an existing save.
The ones I've found have seemed to work, but my "old" saves are relatively new still.
Wish me luck on this one, boys. This one is for you. If you have lots of bugs in the invalid string/index in base ('Dictionary') errors for the person class, please please please share them in detail so I can find if it is a component needing to be manually checked and added.

NPCs Expanded
Level-Up:
Enemies have a chance to gain levels each time that you fight them. Want a strong slave? Keep releasing/letting one escape and they might come back stronger every time


Improved Orgy Scene & Execution Scene:
Orgy scenes after combat have been updated and there is a slight chance to impregnate enemies (if possible).
Added features to have the NPC birth the child and keep it with her until defeated and captured in combat, where the player will have the usual options.

Variables:
Added Variables for all aspects of the Re-Encounter chances to the top of the Expansion.gd file. Those should be safe to alter to your tastes if you want more or less of the content.
Cleaned up the Relation function quite a bit. Related members should share relatives now. For Example: Siblings will try to have the same parents. It should eliminate the nuclear family dilemna.
Differentiated between Citizens and Enemies (as best I could). Freed/Released should show them properly.
Set Tracking info for times met, times fought, etc.

Added Statistics on times met, fought, rescued, raped, and released into the Statistics Panel and the mindread effect (to see it in the field in the capture screen easily).

Added a daily chance for the Town Guard to capture slaves from the persistant baddie group and then either kill them or sell them to the slaver's guild.

V.06.1 Hotfix

Reported Issues

Brothel Elves don’t accept (Dark Elves either).

Pregnancy Dialogue won’t color (remove yellow, extend \n)

Milk Leak shows ]n instead of \n

EventLactation globalfromarray not pulling

findbaddie(id) still populates a “Cant find id in string” error - Try Anks insttodict/load from dict

Expansion traits won’t increase the baby’s trait level based on their parents having that trait rank.

Resolved Issues

V.06.1 Hotfix

NPC Expanded
NPCs discovered in the wilds during v.06 may be lost forever on a save/load, and their relatives will through a "find id" error. However, they are saving and loading correctly now thanks to Ank's suggestion.
If the bugs annoy you, reload to the backed up save before v.05/v.06. I'll try to figure out erasing them later, though, if you'd made a lot of progress in v.06. Tried to catch it early!

Stretching
Modified the Daily Retightening check to use the following criteria: Age, Height*25%, Elasticity, and a % of -1
Based on the difference between the person's age (1-3) + height(0,1) - Elasticity and % of -1 < person.vagina/asshole, it will tighten by 1. This means that Elastic 5 will always tighten to the smallest possible variable (may change later)

Pregnancy Expanded
Removed vanilla Guild Rank Requirement of 2 to raise babies to allow full Breeder Playthroughs

Other Changes
New Setting: Crystal Change Dialogue (for Pregnancy Speeds) can be editted in expansion.gd. Still naturally 4+, but setting to 0 will disable for all but the Headgirl.
New Setting: If you don't like the swollen/pregnancy swelling/cum inflation content, you can disable it via the SwollenEnabled variable in expansion.gd

BugFixes
"Traitlines: As brought to you fixed by Ankmairdor"
Implimented Fetish code cleanup suggested by Ankmairdor
Removed the malfunctioning yellow dialogue coloring on childbirth
Changed "resource" to "resources" in FarmManagerTopics
Changed to \n from ]n in Milk Leak Dialogue
Added "DaysUnmilked" to Backwards Compatibility
Changed "selectedslave" to "person" in Outside to resolve the Elf Brothel Quest issue
Fixed Fertility function being reversed (Fertile gave less change of pregnancy, etc)
Disabled Crystal Change dialogue for anyone in Jail.

(1 edit)

v.06.2.1 Hotfix

Milking issue from v.06.2 fixed

NPCs Expanded
Added option to re-catch Escaped Slaves by adding them into the nearest outdoor location.

Pregnancy Expanded
Added Crystal Descriptor in Mansion
Fixed Trimesters
Fixed Father/Mother not displaying

Existing Save Games Note:
Bug Display
If you are loading a save into v.06.2 for the first time, you will have an error stating "Invalid get index 'allnpcs' (on base: 'Dictionary')."
Just save the game and reload it, and the error should not reoccur.

NPC Expanded Relations (Mentioned in v.06.1)
NPCs prior to v.06.1 that were not enslaved in your mansion would not save/load correctly. They do now, so enemies persist throughout save games and non-Mansion relations will persist as well. Those save games may show a "findBaddie(id)" error and/or not display the non-captured Relations and Relationship Scores. There doesn't seem to be a way to restore those after the fact, but it should be resolved from here on out.

Bug Fix
Several various smaller bugs resolved
Fixed Beastkin/Halfkin races bugging out the Inventory due to not checking for halfkin/beastkin replacements
Canceled Hybrid Image Loader attempt which may contribute to that error
Added new "String Avoidance" to load for AllNPCs to improve backwards compatibility for saves prior to v.06.1
Fixed dailyTighten clamp error

v.07: Hidden Pregnancies, Crouching Dragonkin

Known Issues

The pregnancy text for swollen breasts triggers twice. The effect doesn't seem to, just the text. Can't figure out why yet.

General Changes
Split Movement Changes into a separate getMovement function to have dailyNPC call it.
Renamed getMovement into getMovementText for the old movement descriptors
Restored the 5.25 Mansion Screen (I hadn't realized it'd changed and it was using the old still in the mod)

Total Conversation Events
Pregnancy Reveal, Pregnancy Wanted/Unwanted, Lactation Reveal

Consent Expanded
Removed the Consent Check for any unique characters (temporarily) to eliminate quest immersion breaking blocks

Size Matters
Changed the Movement Weight Calculation
Changed the Swollen Calculation.
Updated Capacity formula for Swelling. Base Modifer (default 5, edittable in Expansion.Settings.baseholdcapacity if you want more/less) +/- hole size +/- 3 based on their current Lust (100 lust is 3, 0 is -3). Should proc less, you can make it even less or turn it off via the settings.
Carry Capacity for Titweight now is Strength + (Endurance+2) - (Titsize-3) meaning below average make it easier to carry
Carry Capacity for Swollen is Strength + (Endurance+2) + (Height+1) vs Swollen

Pregnancy Expanded

Note: Pregnancies with short durations (ie: 3 days or shorter) are very unlikely to have time to trigger the "Pregnancy Reveal", "Lactation Reveal", and "Wanted Pregnancy Reveal". If you want to maintain wanted pregnancies, ask prior to impregnation.

Set up the Pregnancy Reveal conversation (works just like the Lactation Reveal).
"Plump Belly" doesn't mention Baby/Fetus/Uterus until discovered
PregMetrics only shows when the pregnancy is discovered (or on Dimensional Crystal level 3)
Dimensional Crystal has been expanded to level 3, which prevents pregnancies from being hidden from you.

NPCs Expanded
NPCs have reputations now that track. This should prevent rescued from becoming criminals as regularly.
Changed the npclastlocation to offscreennpcs with new features such as action, reputation, and status to ideally build more functionality in the future with the system
Fixed baddiedeath to erase all instances
Lowered the chance increase to 1-3% per call and added a reputation system to call Citizens and Criminals separately
Heavily altered the Offscreen NPC action system. Provided for a reputation system, travel system, and basic needs systems. 
Ideally you should see NPCs in various areas depending on their current needs/activities.

Action Breakdowns
Defeated, Raped, and Childbirth all will place the NPC into Recovery with a -10% chance to find them. They have a chance to recover each turn based on the setting in npcreactions in expansions.gd
Slaves may also Shop for food, Rape

Towns Expanded
Added Town Report/Get Town News to each city. Its just a framework to build on.
Added Execution Scene to Wimborn. You can use your reputation and/or gold with the town to buy criminals scheduled to be executed, encourage harsher punishments to gain reputation with the bloodthirsty crowd, or merely watch.
Updated Town Guards to check for new actions and append to execution arrays

Bugfixes
Corrected a few Spelling issues
Findbaddie changed to findnpc
Corrected all getitemfromarrays
Corrected all unclamped items in newsexsystem with new function
Corrected unclamped SetFetishes
Found and converted more IDs in setFamily to strings
Corrected the daysumilked issue
Corrected the resource instead of resources issues
Corrected expansion.quirk issue in statstab
Added Type Replacer for person.restrained
Corrected farmmanager.jobskills.farmmanager == null error
Fixed Captured variable to captured = 0
Excluded player from the secondary daily Strip/Dress check
Fixed a couple "givers/takers" flipped around for orgasms

v.0.8: Look mod, no clones!

TLDR:
Crystal Level 4 with Death Prevention and possible events, Mod Integration, Bug Fixes, General Tweaks

General Changes
Added a Aric's Expansion version print into the error tracker to verify version numbers on bug reports
Added a tooltip in the Group Choice menu explaining why a slave may not be available for travel (for both Expansion and Vanilla reasons)

Dimensional Crystal
The Dimensional Crystal may be upgraded to Level 4. This provides an option to prevent the deaths of anyone inside of the mansion. Surely there can be no reprecussions for this secret to immortality, right?
Two new Crystal modes (Light, Dark)
Three total Crystal Abilities (Pregnancy Speed, Immortality, Secret)
New Crystal Conversation with option to Research the Crystal

Research
The Crystal's Research level will provide a chance to unlock a new ability (if the Crystal is strong enough to allow it, via the normal "Upgrade"). If a slave's Magical Affinity is equal or higher than the Crystal's Power Level (again, the upgraded level), then the daily research level is equal to the slave's Wit. Otherwise, it is a random % of the slave's wit. A slave must at least have a MAF of 1 to Research.
Multiple slaves may research the Crystal, but only the highest number will apply. Each slave will have a chance to increase the difficulty of researching the Crystal for the day.

*MINOR SPOILER*
If the Crystal has darkened, I suggest choosing your crystal adjuster carefully. Magically stronger is better. Immortality may not be as free as you would think.
*MINOR SPOILER OVER*

Character Creation
Added new Starting Slave specializations:
Socialite
Waifu
Perfect Specimen

Sex Expanded
Changed Sexuality Shifts from 50% of Shift Value to 20% to lessen impact
Altered the formula so Futa may now be treated as "bi" (Default), "male", or "female" for the Kinsey Scale Sexuality Shifts. Changable through Expansion.gd settings option "futasexualityshift"
Added Tied check to prevent Incest Consent from being blocked
Fixed the Incest Forced bugs

Integrated MinorTweaks by Dabros

Keys
Page Up/Page Down to Navigate the SlaveList in the Mansion

Better Slavegear Sorting

Bugfix
Fixed the Execution Scene on buying with Gold/Rep. Works correctly now (per multiple tested saves)
Fixed the Duplication Bug with a Duplicated array and Breaking after found
Added secondary Null Person check to BuildSlave to fix the Null error for some Combats
Removed the currently unused Items file to try to prevent the item error-code bug
Simplified the "Tracking" feature that may be resulting in duplicated NPCs
Set Quirk text to run Dictionary first to keep lisps and replacers from blocking dictionary code
Fixed ATypical grade displays
Fix Grammer issue on Fetish Discussion
Excluded animals from consent checks and end of encounter checks
Added more Surname null checks to the Family Matters formula
Discovered that FutaBalls wasn't triggering because of an Or check instead of And check for null balls
Discovered the "End of Combat" failure was due to Items not equipping/unequipping right from the permanent NPCs. Created a series of checks/fixes to try and catch and counter that.
Fixed DailyMilking issue (string instead of Boolean)
Disabled Taker Incest Consent for now as it was blocking the Subdue action as well. Corrected the Taker Consent options.
Items unequip errors should be mostly gone. There may be the occasional bug in the report, but it should no longer cause the gamebreaking issues from its failure if it happens.
Runaway Slaves should now drop all gear when recaptured.
Fixed WantedPregnancy check
Stopped Pregnant convo from repeating
Fixed Incest Breeder convo not applying correct consent
Fixed Secrets not triggering for Preg/Lactation correctly
Fixed Milk Regen not displaying or triggering correctly for the new lactation system (traits were overriding it)
Lowered Execution slave price to 100gp each

v.08.1 Hotfix

General Changes
Slightly lessened the chance of tearing when stretching

Bugfix
Implimented Ank's fix for the DailyMilk error
Set a continue catch for if the location isn't tied to a town for the town report (eliminate 'plains' issue) for dailyNPCs
Added Continue catch for locations in dailyTownGuard (again, the plains issue that doesn't have a referenced code location for some reason)
Tried to patch the atypical issue by removing the #var array (which Ank said was likely the cause) and then patching it in the expandGame so that each atypical person is changed to commoner
Manually declared jobskills dictionary (despite having the code to add it in) to resolve farmmanager missing error
Added new taker/giver size restriction on the sex scenes to better display text for multiple partner scenes
Fixed a few decimal spot errors causing waaaay too much milk
Lowered the pregnancy stress modifiers
Upped the Fetish Check slightly for convos
Made Lactating Stops a setting so it can be enabled for realism desired (default: disabled)

So, I'm a little confused

This mod is intended for the latest version of Strive V5.25, and its basically a much more improved version of Aric's Expansion Mod.  My main point of confusion is what the mods overall goal is? I'm just curious if anyone has a general overview summary of the mod? I.E. Why should I give up on my current modded saves in V5.22b for this mod, and is it well enough along to be worth it?

Updated the main post with a general overview of the mod with examples of the new systems and some changes. Keep in mind that you can always try it out by making a second game data file (just name it 5.25) and Strive Folder in App Data. Just rename the one you aren't using to something else and let the 5.25 make a new App Data folder, then you just rename to switch back and forth easily enough.

(+1)

Thank you for your help, i'm going to try try it tomorrow. 

I installed the mod and saw some changes in the game but on the farm there was no change, the mod looks installed correctly but I don't know if that should happen.

The farm update is the one that is being worked on now. It’s not out yet

I don't really have any problems or bugs to report, just a question. Hows the next update going? I'm really looking forward to it.

You're always fine to just check in without bugs! I'm trying to finish up the Bottling Panel tonight, then just a couple more codes and 2-3 smaller panels, then we should be homefree for the release (bugs/obvious issues pending).

Sorry for the late reply, Its good to here that the Mod is about to get even better. Many thanks!

v0.9.2: The Night of the Multiple Bugfixes

Bugfixes from v0.9 to v0.9.2

Note: The only change from v0.9 to v0.9.1 is that it adds in Ank's patches from Bugfix v4 to Bugfix v4a. If you happened to download v0.9, only the outside.gd file changed.

v0.9.2 fixes the misnamed folder path, the Ghostrep error in global, and shaves out all of the base game images that had been included in .import (causing the folder to bloat to 700mb) and getting it back down to about 45mb.

General Changes
Integrated Ankmairdor's BugFixes v4a (Going from v4 to v4a is why it's v0.9.1 instead of v0.9)
-NOTE: It is already merged into this mod. DO NOT re-merge any of Ank's bugpatches past this point is will override and break things-
Added Setting to use MinorTweak's Gear Sorting or Ank's BugFix Gear Sorting
Lessened the Stress from Tit Growth
Changed the daily Fetish Lower chance to a Setting (default off). Set fetishescanlower to true to re-enable. - Per Popular Request
The Coward trait now lowers Courage by 20
Added Leonais' Vacation level up suggestion of limiting vacations to slaves who have been owned for 7+ days of level 2 or higher and Improve Grade to level 4 or higher.

Combat Changes
Combat Stress Reworked
Combatants (on the player side) no longer suffer a base 3/6 Stress each turn. Now Combatants only receive combat stress if they are damaged and their health lost is greater than their Courage.
New Combat Abilities

Arachna Web Attacks
Arachna's should have the ability to learn a free Web Attack that has a chance of slowing all targets. This is the first test to see if I can effectively expand Racial combat abilities.

How It Works
Please note that all incoming damage is weighted 20% more than previously taken HP damage (Effectively giving a Courage penalty to a massive strike).
If the person loses health, it first checks if they are currently below 25% health OR if their health lost is greater than their total Courage. If so, if the Random 0-100 is greater than their Courage + Confidence/4 (for a max of 50 with 100 in each), they take 2-4 stress (twice if Cowardly).
Otherwise, if their health lost is greater than their Courage/2, it checks if the Random 0-100 is greater than their Courage + Confidence/2 (for a max of 100 with 100 in each). If so, they take 2-4 stress (twice if Cowardly).
If their lost health is less than half of their Courage, they shrug it off and no Stress is gained.

Stress is still gained upon losing allies, however. That just seems fitting.

Benefits of the New Stress System
Beyond making stress management in combat slightly more intuitive and less of a chore, this also provides a lot more functionality to the Protect action. As the only ones who will be making Stress checks are those who take damage, having a Bodyguard with high Courage and Confidence will mean that they are not only soaking up the damage for weaker allies, they are also preventing stress.

Pregnancy Expanded
Fixed the Wanted Pregnancy functions (should trigger correctly now). There is a chance for them to decide to want the pregnancy on Impregnation, Discovery, then daily after discovery.
Altered the TitGrowth chances to now reflect Pregnancy Duration. The chance is chancetitsgrow (in settings) + current swelling / (total pregnancy length + current pregnancy duration). This should reflect as a far greater chance of growth toward the end and far less towards the beginning, but overall less chance of occurance. - Requested by ElPresidente/Centerflag982
Lowered Pregnancy Event Chances (Editable in Settings): Morning Sickness (30) and TitsGrow (35). Moved both into Settings.

Sex Expanded
Added Vaginal Wetness (listed as Lubrication). Standard is 1-4ml but can get up to 10ml. Currently used in: Farm Lube Extraction/Storage
Added Trait: Soaker which doubles the Lubrication value when arousal is over 50%.

Altered the Compare values to allow it to reach the maximum of 500 (previously impossible) with a Mindblowing Incest and either 100 Lust+57 Beauty (in partner) (Beauty/Lust fluctuate, Lewdness is also calculated as a bonus). Issue brought up by CenterFlag982
Fixed Sex Milking (tracks and empties correctly now) using the Milker option. Reported by CenterFlag982
Set Slime Pliability/Elasticity to natural max (5) via BackwardsCompatibility (should update all), though they can be enhanced further via the traits. - Requested by Cobbly/Tommiboy595

Sexuality Shifts
Per requests, I halved the Sexuality Shift modifier (again) to try and prevent the major shifts in sexuality. I have also added in a Sexuality Shift "lock" that prevents sexualities from changing despite sexual partners. You can "lock" or "unlock" the sexuality shifts under Talk>General Slave Topics>"Regarding redefining your sexuality..."

Lactation Changes
There are now two types of Lactation: Normal and Hyperlactation
Normal is triggered by Pregancy. A woman will only produce enough to feed her offspring, so there is no more Stress or Stretching from Normal. It also has a chance to automatically stop when unmilked.

Hyperlactation can be triggered by giving Lactating Slaves a Hyperlactation potion (created from 1 Nursing Potion and 2 Bottled Milk, from the Farm). Hyperlactation is the "Production" level lactation and can cause breasts to stretch to accommodate (up to immobilizing the slave), cause stress (still less than before) if unmilked, and is permanent. I do not recommend giving Hyperlactation to slaves that will not be milked daily.

In-Game Help
The Library has several entries that explain new elements of the game added by Aric's Expansion for in-game assistance and clarification. More are pending.

Farm Modifications
Increased the TitSize Increase chance from titsize*2 < pressure to *3
Halved the Pressure stress/lust impact
Fetish Acceptance (Lactation): Added lactationacceptancemultiplier setting to provide an alternate method of slaves gaining the lactation fetish while lactating.
Fetish Acceptance (Being Milked): Fetish may increase daily based on 1/4 of the Milk Stored + 100% of the Pressure (as it is relieved via milking)
The entire Farm Panel has been reworked allowing multiple changes. There is a lot of information regarding this in the in-game library (when the farm is unlocked). I'll show some highlights here.
Note: The Farm Manager conversation topics have been disabled temporarily pending a rework to meet the new changes in the Farm. Most of what those were for are now better represented and easier to navigate via the farm anyways.

One Panel Fits All
You now have the option to specify multiple "extractions" on each cattle, including Milk, Cum (either semen, lube, or both for futa), and Piss. Every cow can also (with a functioning vagina/womb) be used to breed with your studs or with snails (but only one or the other per womb) including the option to specify certain studs and breeders to pair off. There are different extraction methods with varying efficiency and rewards (higher tiers of which can be purchased from the Farm Manager/Farm Store). Different quality of containers will allow your milkmaids to carry more and minimize the risk of spilling on the way to the Vats (the central storage which you can use to bottle, refine, sell, etc on a mass-level).

Farmhands/Milkmaid/MilkMerchant (+ Settings)
There are 4 new jobs: Farm Hands, Milk Maids, Bottlers, and Milk Merchants. There are also 3 settings for choosing how the pool of workers split up the work of managing your farm. A Farm Manager can typically cover for any missing positions in a pinch, but they can only do so much.
Farm Hands: Handle struggling cattle, general cleanup
Milk Maids: Milk the cattle, deliver to the Vats
Studs: Breed the cattle
Milk Merchants: Take the bottled liquids and sell them in either specific locations or shift from town to town to maximize profits in the new, evolving Milk Economy.

Bottlers: They bottle the liquids per your orders (in the Vats panel)

Consent, Workstations, and Resistance
Cattle can follow two "paths". Consentual cattle can be asked/convinced to join, be put in, and will have a pleasant time with little resistance. Non-Consentual cattle can be forced in and follow a resistance/breaking cattle path. They will use a combination of mental/physical resistance to try to negatively affect your ability to milk them. They'll drain more energy from your farm-hands/farm manager, etc. There are Work Stations which will apply various bonuses/consequences on the cattle.

Relationships
Cattle will form relationships (and vice-versa) with their Farmhands, Milk Maids, and Studs.
Cattle will like Farmhands with a 0-100 chance based on (Cattle Obedience-100) + Farmhand Confidence+Job Skill OR if the cattle struggles and they have the Submissive or Masochistic traits. Farmhands will like Cattle that don't struggle or if that do struggle if they have the Dominant or Sadistic traits.
Cattle have a similar check based on the Milkmaid's charm instead. Studs and Breeders gain/lose based on attraction.

Contentment
Livestock have certain levels of Contentment with how you are treating them. High Contentment will result in the Livestock gaining loyalty, obedience, and losing stress daily. Very high contentment may automatically have them consent to be your livestock if they hadn't before. Low Contentment removes loyalty, obedience, and adds stress. Very low contentment may cause fear of you and may even result in them revoking their consent to be your livestock, resulting in them resisting you. The auto-removal may be triggered on or off (default on).
Daily Actions are the largest factor in Contentment
Keeping cattle restrained has a high chance to lower contentment but is effective at stopping struggling.
Beds and the daily action to Pamper add Contentment each day.

Contentment Check Difficulties (If it rolls under the number, Contentment lowers by 1)
High - Roll 0-100 <= Confidence + Wits)
Medium - Roll 0-100 <= (Confidence + Wits)/2
Low - Roll 0-100 <= (Confidence + Wits)/4

Snails and Breeding
Cattle can now breed while also being milked. You can set cattle to breeders (get pregnant), studs (impregnate), or both depending on their relevant genitalia. One thing to keep in mind for studs, however, is they must be free to move. Restraints, racks, and cages will prevent them from making it to their breeders.
Specific partners can be set for breeders/studs.
Cattle can also breed snails instead of offspring, but this will have potential complications based on their interest in pregnancy and more importantly oviposition (new fetish listed). If they don't, there's a chance they will fight back and potentially hurt the snail that is trying to breed them. Restraining unwilling snail breeders can prevent this loss.
The Snail Pit has been added with it's own panel. This comes with options such as Incubators which can be used to hatch snail eggs (to get more snails, yay!), set how many snail eggs to cook, sell, or set aside to hatch. There is also an option to automatically do any of those options, as well as an option to cook snail eggs without a Chef. Be warned, cooking without a chef will get you 1 for 1 on Eggs to Food, while a chef will be able to net 3 food per egg.

Daily Actions
Cattle are assigned one daily action that can apply a various beneficial or detrimental effect to the cow. Most actions require an available Farmhand to successfully show up in the list of options. If there aren't enough farmhands available, the options will be very restricted. The pool of farmhands can spend their mornings Exhausting or Inspecting, then the rest of the day Stimulating, Prodding, or Pampering cattle. These actions each effect their levels of Contentment with their new life as livestock.
#Checked at the beginning of the day
Exhaust - Lowers their energy before they have the chance to "Struggle" for the day. Physically fit cattle (Endurance) are less exhausted than weak cattle. Medium chance of Contentment loss.
Inspection - High chance to lower confidence (if non-exhibitionist) or raise confidence (if exhibitionist). Chance of Contentment Loss depends on Exhibitionism
#Checked during the day
Stimulate - Increases arousal after being stimulated all day causing more orgasms.
Pamper - Raise contentment level
Prod (Prods must be available) - High chance to lower Courage after the day's work from being prodded all day.
#Checked at the end of the day
Moo (No Farmhand required) - High chance to lower Wits after day's work from being forced to Moo all day. Medium Contentment Loss chance
Rest (No Farmhand Required) - Regain energy and a little health

Items
There are 6 new items
(Alchemy Lab)
Hyperlactation Potion - Add the Hyperlactation trait for heavy producers
Sedative - Lose Energy and Wit (if Energy bottoms out)
(Refined via Bottling in Farm)
Bottled Milk - High Energy/Stress Recovery
Bottled Semen/Lube - Energy/Stress Recovery and Lewdness Gain
Bottled Piss - High Lewdness Gain

BugFix v0.9.3: Is It Stable? Are any of us?

Changed _virgin_press to look for any vagina, not just "normal" regarding Virgin checkbox not working for starting slave - Reported by Abyss12 and Ankmairdor

Disabled r's as being "Stuttered" as that can mess up the text color code - Back in due to Ank's new Text Replacer function
Fixed 'knew' to 'new' on Curious startup - Reported by Redle
Renamed "Watch the gathering in Town Square" to "Gathering in the Square" to minimize button run-over - Reported by Redle

Added the randReplace function from Ankmairdor and altered all "Quirk" text to use the formula to fix some of the stutter issues and the "too many meows on this mother-fucking text box" issues - Fixed provided by Ankmairdor
Clamped the Sexuality Shift so it will do a maximum of 1 shift per sexual session (so no more "Fully Gay" to "Fully Straight" in 1 encounter)
Daily Hole Tightening Changes (see below)
set "expansion.gd > settings.perfectinfo" to false to disable it, but you can re-enable it (to see things like Pregnancy prior to them having that conversation with you) by setting it to true - Reported by Redle
Combat Consent for Uniques. - Reported by Redle

Fixed type "far" to "far more" in milk storage traits - Reported by Redle
Fixed Warrior status (not implimented yet) mind master title to require party consent (&& instead of ||) - Reported by Redle
Moved Master title randomizer around so family checks lower to proc more readily for relatives

Daily Hole Tightening Changes
Clamped the Asshole Tightening script so it won't tighten past "Tiny" (like Vagina). Increased the Average size slightly (from Age + Height*25 + mod to age + ((1+height)*5) + mod). Modifiers are Elasticity, Races like Fairies or Gnomes, and a random -1 to 1 chance.
Added a Random Chance equal to 25 for vagina/20 for anus times their inverse age (ie: adults= *1, teens = *2, etc)

Combat Consent for Uniques
Combat Consent has been added to check for a trigger (disabled by default) in expansion.gd settings that will let you put Unique slaves into your party without asking for consent first. This will automatically give combat consent to avoid the situations where they say they won't fight with you while already in your party. If left disabled, only the Starting Slave and Cali will be giving automatic consent to fight with you without asking first (per their backstories).

Fixed Toxicity for milk/semen/lube/piss bottles

Dialogue Menu
Cleaned up the Fetish Menu slightly. You will now notice that the Return button is at the TOP of the Fetish options (per popular request). In addition, the Fetishes have been broken down into "Unknown" and "Known" fetishes and can be selected from those two groups to lessen the wall of buttons to find the one you want. Finally, unimplimented fetishes have been noted per popular request (though this is only currently 'milking' and 'pissing' as both were implimented using more specific verage of beingmilked, otherspissing, etc. Removal may disrupt backwards compatibility so they will remain for now until I'm certain it won't disrupt existing savegames to remove them.)

Sex Expanded Tweaks
Added in a chance for a vagina/ass to recover from the "Torn" condition during a sexual encounter IF the person orgasms while the hole is unoccupied. Elasticity increases the chance of recovery (by 20% per).
Added the added functionality of Elasticity into the Trait text.

Cheat Button
Ever want to just test out an item? Ever want to just goof off? Let me introduce you to...the Cheat button!
It will be disabled in expansion.gd>settings by default, but if you turn it on you'll have a new dialogue option under Talk that can add items at your command. It's really a testing feature for me to use, but I figured I'd leave the code in there this time in case anyone wanted to goof around. It works for everything but Gear (ie: equippables)
To enable it -  expansion.gd>settings>enablecheatbutton = true

Pregnancy Expanded and Pregnancy Changes
Provided by Deviate
Note: All existing babies in existing save games will be removed when this update is applied to maintain compatibility! Finish your pregnancies if you don't want them terminated prior to updating.

Ovulation Cycle:
Added a Ovulation Cycle [Add Details/Add Cycle Variable]
From Deviate - The ovulation system completely replaces the current impregnation system. The vanilla function calls are repurposed to now use the new system, allowing for all previous code to continue to work.

There are two types of ovulation. The standard ovulation type ovulates for 8 days and then rests for 15. The extended type ovulates for 12 days then rests for 15. The ovulation type is determined by the person's race. Each time a male ejaculates into a female an entry is made in an array. This simulates semen remaining in the womb. After 5 days, semen begins to "die off" and is removed from the array. The amount of semen is based on the values used in the expansion for each balls size. The size of the penis determines how much of that semen initially enters the womb. The virility of the male at the time of ejaculation is also stored in the womb to be used later in determining if the semen reaches the egg. If is possible for the semen of multiple males to be simultaneously in the womb competing for the egg.

Each night the female is ovulating the womb array is looped over and each deposit is given a chance to impregnate the egg. This means that a single ejaculation could potential try to fertilize the egg 5-6 times. Also, if there is cum still in the pussy, each night a small percentage will enter into the womb, thus increasing the chances of reaching the egg.

To fertilize the egg, semen must first pass a check to determine if they reach it. Then, the egg must pass a check to determine if it is successfully fertilized. The chance of actually fertilizing the egg is based on:

Male - penis size, balls size, base fertility, racial fertility bonus/negative, viritility, fertile trait
Female - breast size, butt size, base fertility, racial fertility bonus/negative,, egg strength, fertile trait
Scores are determine for both the male and the female. The difficulty of this check is reduced by 25% if the player is a breeder

It is possible for multi-children births. In order for this to happen multiple eggs must be fertilized on the same night. There is also a limit on the number of possible children in a single birth based on the race type.

Improved Metrics
Displayed metrics and person information is changed in multiple locations to accommodate the hybrid and ovulation systems.

Mentals over 100
Provided by Deviate
Racial bonuses to mentals added by Deviate's code

Naked Body Images for Uniques
Provided by Deviate
Added support for all Unique character's to have their unique body images called by the strip code.

Expanded Daily Cum Cleaning
Provided by Deviate
Added Deviate's Cum Tracking expansion that ties the fetish system into the slave's daily response to the cum on/in their body.

From Deviate -
modifies how the expansion handles cum removal from body
removal is based on bath rule (for body and face), pregnancy desire (for pussy) and fetishes
slaves will want to remove cum from themselves unless they have a desire or fetish
a decay will gradually reduce cum no matter what desire or fetish is, simulates minimum daily cleaning

Cheat Button
Fixed the Cheat Button to allow equippable items - Code to fix provided by Ankmairdor
Added prompt to load if CheatButton is enabled with directions to access it
Added Farm Category with Snail and SnailEggs to Cheat Button options
Stopped Gear option from showing all gear items before showing categories

Spells Expanded: Leak
Added in DeathnDekay's Leak Spell for anyone who wants to keep slaves drained. It has been a bit modified for functionality as the over-lactation issue has been resolved.
If the slave is lactating and has milk built up in their breasts, it will drain them. It'll then check their enjoyment of lactation and of being milked. If either passes, they'll gain minor lust from it. Otherwise they'll gain minor fear.
If they aren't lactating, it has a chance (default 50%, edittable in settings) to start lactating. If so, it does the above check as well.
Finally, if they aren't lactating and don't start, they just gain a slight amount of stress (3-5) from the attempt.

And MORE!
Integrated Deviate's AricsExpansion_Addons. Details from the author here: https://itch.io/post/147656
Genealogy
Racial Bonuses (make races feel different!)
New Pregnancy mechanics with multiple birth, different birth types, and cum that can impregnate through realistic fertility cycles!

New Kennel sleep location and animals!
Other stuff!

Fixed the 'futa' to 'futanari' issue that caused futa issues - Reported/Fixed by Centerflag982
Changed the TitsGrow feature in pregnancies to cap at vanilla sizes unless you give the girl Hyperlactation potions, so even if she's bred again before the pregnancy breasts have a chance to shrink it'll still keep from debilitating her. - Reported by Bananaman
Fixed the "snail breeding" toggle not ever re-enabling once disabled.
New Cheat Button options to debug pregnancies

Deviate Changes
Implimented v2 of Deviate's code

Rewrote the Genealogy code. Removed the restrictions on common/uncommon races interbreeding, weighted the changes via variables in expansion.gd>settings, and changed it to a slightly more streamlined code. Also added 3 basic "primary" genealogy types, Purebreed, Primary_Mixed, and Primary. Purebreed is always 100 and will be applied to all unique slaves, the player, Slimes, and has a chance in settings (default 10). Purebreed Mixed is all Halfkins or with a chance of default 30 and can have the primary go down to 50% (losing the primary race bonus), and Primary works the same with a base of 70 guaranteeing a primary race with that bonus.

Changed the Ovulation Cycles to the following: Live Birth and Egg Cycles. They are both calculated based on a specific time cycle (Default of 14 days to match the default pregnancy cycle) and if they are below the specific percentage of the time (default of 60%) they are fertile, if above it they are not. All of this is edittable within expansion.gd > settings

Removed the "Races can only breed with the same races" penalty. It breaks breeder playstyles and player choice
Changed the constructor newbaby female check to random to apply sexes correctly - Reported by Banana

Fixed the Wanted Pregnancy issue as it wasn't adding in. It'll trigger per egg fertilized instead of on Impregnation (as impregnation just adds the semen into the womb now). Resolved for player, breeder, and incest breeder consents.

Multiple Births is fixed - Helped by Ank, Pallington, and Banana
Baths now clear out Semen from wombs

Modified Racial Stat Bonuses
This entire system can be disabled by turning globals.expansion.settings.racialstatbonuses to false. If set to true (per default), an explanation of the racial stat bonuses can be found in the Library. This system can be safely disabled/reenabled midgame (everyone will update per the next End of Day) or when Interacted with.
All penalties have been removed, all randomization of the Racial stat bonuses have been removed, and each have been simplified down to the following formula.
If a racial genealogy is over 70%, it will provide up to a +2 in one stat, +1 in 2 Stats, or a Mental/Beauty/Fertility bonus. If it is over 50% instead, it will provide up to +1 in 1 stat, and either a minor mental bonus or a partial increase in another (.4). If over 30%, it will provide a flat +1 to a Stat. Finally, for any that are under 30% but over 0%, they will provide a .2 increase in their primary stat.
Everything is rounded before being applied, so theoretically a "mixed" race with a lot of geneologies in their background can still get an increase in another stat.

Note: This is not 100% determined that it is how it'll stay and may be subject to rebalancing

Crystal Changes
Added in a check so the Crystal can revert to light IF it has positive lifeforce and no hunger. It will gain 1 hunger each day while dark, however, and 2 additional hunger each day to restore 1 lifeforce automatically with an 80% chance by default (changable via crystallifeforcerestorechance).

Added the "Understanding Sacrifice" ability (discovered via Dark Crystal research or via Sacrificing)

Bloody Good Taste
I never thought we'd have this discussion...but apparently the names 'fanny', 'cunny', 'todger', and other britishisms for body parts is distracting for some. So if any bloody Yanks want to admit that they have terrible taste in names for genitals, you can go into 'expansion.gd' > settings > Find 'ihavebloodygoodtaste' and set it to false. For you would be admitting to NOT having good taste in naming schemes. I added a proper execution as well to the post-combat scene.
But for real, it'll turn those off. It's on by default (and might be a little over the top silly with Britishisms). I will assume that most of you have bloody good taste, but feel free to turn it off for more serious terminology in gameplay.

New Writer: Kiroberos
Library racial descriptions for the Lamia, Slimes, and all Beastkin races were provided by Kiroberos

v0.9.7

Fixed the Backwards Compatibility message from triggering and eliminating existing pregnancies unless the upgraded person is from a save prior to v0.9.5
Fixed the person.id and person.unique to father_id and father_unique - Reported by Comemon777, fixed by Ankmairdor
Replaced the set_race_by_genealogy with setRace in constructor.gd to sort and pick races more efficiently from Genealogies. It should now pick the race with the highest genealogy despite being below 50%.
Tweaked the globals.fertilize_egg function to correctly apply genealogies to uniques (for Kennel/Prostitution impregnation) and only set_genealogy for non-animal "fathers". - Reported by Darkness/Shadowsonger/Comeon777 / Fixed by Ankmairdor
Genealogies are reset to 0 before being built in constructor.gd.set_genealogy to fix the Kennel/Prostitution impregnation issue. -Reported/Fixed by Ankmairdor
Fleshed out build_genealogy_equalize to resolve the negative (undisplayed) genealogies. Added a clamp and break to stop the processing. -Reported/Fixed by Ankmairdor
Altered the Race Display and Genealogy Display texts in person and constructor to more accurately represent the racial blends.
Set the newbaby function in constructor.gd to create female instead of random so it can transition to male if needed. -Fixed by Ankmairdor

Added female beast to male slave End of Day kennel scene per request
Scrolling issue with more participants than the screen allowed - Reported and Fixed by Redle
Added Ankmairdor's sex description optimization file. - Reported by Darkness, Created by Ankmairdor, Tweaked by Aric

Childbirth now clears all remaining semen in the womb, avoiding multiple pregnancies from 1 session. -Reported by Ralphomayo
Unique Slaves were still having mixed genealogy. Fixed with a new function in gallery.gd as uniques are created slightly differently. -Reported by Bananaman+Multiple Others
Increased the Hyperlactating Regen bonus to 20-40% of the total Days Lactating. -Reported by 5_pandas

Impregnation:
Added a bonus to virility if the father hasn't had sex today (for the first impregnation change). Changed the virility modifier from a flat 0.5 to a 0.3-1 for having had sex today and 0.5-1.5 for not having had sex that same day (clamps the virility at 100).
Infertile no longer means that the person can't get pregnant, it is simply far harder for it to happen (Fertility/2) for mothers and fathers
Split the Egg Reached and Fertilized Egg checked. If the egg is reached (due to high virility or semen count) it regains one day, giving it another chance should the fertility check fail.
Lowered the rolled chances from 751 to 75 and 1001 to 100.
Updated the Stud and Breeder checks slightly
Changed the father_id = null for non-real father's to father_id = '-1' to resolve failed id passing issues

Talk Button Changes:
Added randomized dialogue to Refused Consent to join Party
Reorganized some of the Topics into the 'Sex Topics' Category to avoid confusion and minimize having to search for talk functions.
Added "Job Skills" conversation under General Slave Conversations, along with explanations of what some of the Job Skills actually do. More pending.

Cum Draining Scene -
There is now a "Cum Draining" scene from within the new Sex Topics category under the Talk menu. You can use this to simply drain the slave's pussy or go further and drain their womb as well. This scene and the slave's reaction depends upon the slaves' creampie, pregnancy, and drinkcum fetish. You can use this to drain a slave's cum to avoid bloating, pregnancy, etc. It is available once per day per slave

Job Skills:
Job Skills have been updated and somewhat expanded. All Job Skills now have the chance equal to their Wit to double the gained skill amount. More Job Skills have been implemented mechanically and the Job Skill conversation was added to the Talk Menu.
Updated Sex Worker job skill to provide bonus gold per the person's body, sexuality, etc for all sexual jobs.
Added Hunter, Forager, Cook, Trainer, Trainee, Sex Worker (Whore/Fucktoy/Escort), Nurse, Combat (Guardian), Entertainer, Merchant, Mage, Pet, and Maid. Updated all Farm Related Job Skills gains.
Added a few End of Day events to Slaving and Guardian jobs for a critical success bonus (and dash of variety).

Modified/New Feature: Movement Icons
Gone are the days of Movement Traits! They were intended as a placeholder and served their purpose well, but it is now time for the grand reveal of...Movement Icons!
Instead of the tried and true traits taking tons of topography in your slaves panel, the icon will now appear next to the specialization icon in the Slave panel as well as on your slave's character sheet in battle.
All icons were made by me (so...sorry about that if you dislike them) in Kisekae. There are separate icons for men and woman (futa will use the women's icons), clothed vs naked (naked checks for if 2 of the 3 areas between chest, ass, and genitals are exposed), and varying degrees of pregnancy/swelling (women only for now unless heavily requested otherwise).
Backwards Compatibility SHOULD theoretically work, but to make the icons display the actual reason for the modified movement (ie: tits oversized, swollen, energy low, etc) I had to add another variable into the person class. Worst case, if your save game complains about it, add into your savegame "movementreasons = []" for each active person. Should fix it up right as rain.

New Feature: Training Grounds
Adds Training Ground Location, Trainer & Trainee Jobs
This feature is a new location geared towards end-game to minimize end-game grinding. A new location can be purchased from Facilities called the Training Grounds. It can be upgraded 4 times at 10 upgrade points and 5k (times the level) a pop.
The Grounds unlocks the Trainer job, which allows you to set a dedicated Combat Trainer. They can teach a number of slaves of lower level who have won less total battles than the trainer and give them a daily amount of XP as well as a chance for Learning Points (to unlock abilities).
The Trainer requires Commoner or Higher, Level 3 or higher, and has to have participated in 5+ battles. The details on exactly how much XP is granted (to each Trainee), the chance of Learning Points and Amount granted, etc is all listed in the Upgrade and/or the Job Panels. The Trainer can teach a total number of slaves equal to twice his/her level.
Added Job Skills for Trainer and Trainee

New Feature: Slime Breeding (Option 1 of 2) "Conversion"
Slimes now have the first of their two breeding methods implimented. The first method, Conversion, happens when a slime with a penis cums into an unsuspecting pregnant woman. Instead of a normal impregnation check, a slime will instead try to "convert" the pregnant woman's baby into a Slime. The "stronger" the offspring's DNA with one race, the higher the chance to resist this conversion. The level of the slime and the last day that that slime has had sex also comes into play as well. If the baby is successfully converted, it will ooze out of the mother the following day. The mother will be hurt and stressed by the time lost by her rapid pregnancy.
The inspiration behind this method is the "monstrous" side of the Slimes and why they are feared by normal sentient society. Their abilities to "steal" babies and add them to their own ranks adds to the horrific element of these creatures.
Note: I THINK this works, I've tested it 3 times and it seems to in those cases but definitely let me know if there's any issues with it. There is very likely to be some. The "Split" method is coming soon to a monster near you.

That... is... freaking cooool.  I can't wait to try out 9.7!

Hopefully it all works well! Let me know what you think. :)

If you need to redownload Strive v5.25 to use this mod, want a pre-merged version that is easier to use, or want the 7ish bugfixes that have been added since v0.9.7 was released, check this thread: https://itch.io/t/975848/strive-v525-arics-expansion-v097-pre-merged

Any idea where I can get Strive v5.25 for a 32-bit PC? Any idea if the 32-bit version will work with this mod? The reason I ask is, I've got a 64-bit iMac that can't even run earlier versions of this mod, and a 32-bit Windows 7 PC. That's it. Downloaded pre-merged game and mod from above link onto my 32-bit system, tried to run it and got an error message saying the program is meant for a 64-bit PC, which I don't have.

(+1)

32-bit windows can run the mod, all of the files for the 64-bit game are the same except for the .exe, which you will need from a semi-recent 32-bit version of the game. If you have a 32-bit version of the game from 0.5.24  to 0.5.25 you can simply copy the .exe into Aric's pre-merged version and it will work.

Macs require special setup to run mods (https://itch.io/t/628179/how-to-make-mods-work-on-mac-osx-without-wine), but so long as you have the OSX version of the game from 0.5.24  to 0.5.25 you should be able run Aric's pre-merged version with this setup.

If you lack one of those copies of the game from 0.5.24  to 0.5.25, then I would recommend googling the terms "strive for power 0.5.25 download" (this approach works for a frightening number of things). I saw a copy at lewdzone, no idea if the links work.

Thank you. Appreciate you responding so quickly. Found a 32-bit version of 0.5.25 (not sure, may be 05.24c?) Moved Arics 0.9.7 to the mods folder, and the game launches now. Thanks. But now I can't start a new game.

Loading an old save is also not an option, since I missed the last few updates of the mod. But when I try to start a new game (after clicking on  'New Game', whether in Story mode or Sandbox mode, I can only progress through the game setup options up to the point where I begin character creation (i.e. the black and white portrait for the PC appears at the bottom of the screen) backward and forward arrows beside character portrait are clickable, but clicking them doesn't do anything; 'Confirm' button is also clickable, but doesn't do anything. When I try to select 'Quick Start' instead of 'Customized Start', this button is clickable, but clicking it does nothing.

Once again, I appreciate your willingness to go back and forth with anonymous noobs like me, even though I know there's nothing really in it for you; but in light of that, I wonder if there isn't some way for me to seek answers to my technical issues without having to bother a real person every time I get stuck? I've seen the changelogs posted on this thread, but I'm wondering if there is perhaps a searchable list of Problems and solutions somewhere, if anybody else has had the above problem? Somewhere you could refer me to? Would Discord be the place to look?

Anyway, thanks again for your continued help.

When you start the 32-bit version that you found, the game version will be displayed in the bottom left of the window. If you found 0.5.24c, then that will be fine as the .exe is the same version of Godot as 0.5.25.

Your problems with starting a new game are most likely identical to this thread https://itch.io/post/2043492. Basically you are missing some critical files, which is causing a cascade of errors; see thread for details.

Currently there is no list of technical issues, but this entire topic is filled with threads that a mostly similar issues. If you had time, then simply reading them all starting at the end would probably find the solution to most problems. But that also would require you to understand some of the concepts behind your problems, which would probably give you a fair chance of having solved them yourself. So I don't know how much good that actually does, besides being tedious.

The Strive Discord is a great place to ask for help for quick answers, but I wouldn't expect to simply find your solutions there anymore than here.

Changelog v1.1: Overcompensatingly Quick

New(ish) Features

<Settings>

  • Set ihavebloodygoodtaste to default of false. It's there to be enabled if you'd like it still, though.
  • Added Print Reports on game load showing when Perfect Info and BloodyGood Taste are enabled in addition to Cheat Button (need DebugMod to see the log though). All can still be enabled/disabled in customScripts\expansionsettings.gd
  • Renamed minortweaknicknames to use_nickname_plus_first_name to clarify its function. Set to false by default. (expansionsettings.gd)

<Interactions>

  • Set the Meet Interactions to 20 as a default - (variables.gd)

<Slave Inspect>

  • Added better descriptors to Sexuality icon along with a hint if Sexuality is unknown - (slave_tab.gd)

<Sex System>

  • Changed Feature: Fixed Cum Expulsion text to only show if there's cum in her pussy or ass greater than 6-the hole's size. The Mansion loses Condition equal to 1/2 the amount of cum lost. (newsexsystem.gd)
  • Sexuality Shifting: After Non-Consentual Sex, the person's Sexuality is now likely to shift away from their aggressor's unless they have the traits "Masochist", "Deviant", "Pervert", "Submissive", "Sex-crazed", or "Likes it rough". (newsexsystem.gd)
  • Player Sexuality Shifting: Added Setting "player_sexuality_shift" in customScripts\expansionsettings.gd. It is set to True by default to allow Player's sexualities to shift. Setting it to false will disable the system. (newsexsystem.gd)
  • Removed vagTorn and assTorn from person.gd as it no longer is needed to track. Handled by person.dailyevents.append('vagTorn') or person.dailyevents.append('assTorn') instead.
  • Sex Dialogue Results: Updated Sex Results to compile rewards earned under a header for ease of reading. Also added slightly more variety in sexual shifting dialogue. Changed the few lines of dialogue that come in as lime to yellow to match. Added color coding to point out "not" attractions in the sidebar. (newsexsystem.gd)

<Towns Expanded>

  • New Setting 'minimum_npcs_to_detain': Guards will only activate to catch "baddies" if the total number of unseen NPCs it above this number. Default is 10. This lets you delay the town guard zealously capturing all of your enemies and nemesis', especially in the early game. - (expansion.gd)
  • Added "Cruelty" numbers next to each of the execution options to clarify which will be perceived as easier or harsher punishments. - (outside.gd)

<Genealogy>

  • Sibling Match: If there is an existing sibling created in the world, the genes should match the sibling identically unless they were born in the mansion. This should hopefully cut down on the immersion breaking of siblings having different genes. (constructor.gd)
  • Increased PureBlood chances to 20 and Mixed to 40 by default. (expansionsettings.gd)

BUGFIXES

<Slave Inspect>

  • Fixed issue with incorrect names in View Relationship between Player and Sibling (for both) - (slave_tab.gd and mansion.gd)

  • Fixed Line 1698 Issue with Crashes on Fondle Chest action for multiple nipples. Reported by JulianK, Fixed by Ankmairdor - (sexdescription.gd)
  • Fixed line 2190 Issue with the Player's sexuality never shifting. - (newsexsystem.gd)
  • Trimmed down the Wear and Tear unused text in sidebar - (newsexsystem.gd)

<Traits>

  • Fixed Line 348 indentation issue with Blemished - (traits.gd)

<End of Day>

  • Lips will no longer gain Lisp unless they are "huge" or larger. - (expansion.gd)

  • Fixed Farmhand and Cattle Name displays to be consistent in End of Day report

<Pregnancy Tooltip>

  • Added a Pregnancy Icon to the Slave Tooltip (when you hover over them in the list) to let you know at a glance who is pregnant or not. (Requested Feature)

<ExpansionSettings>

  • Added an option called "unwantedfetishes". Add any fetishes from the list above it into the array to prevent them from showing up in the Fetishes Talk Menu.

<Fetishes>

  • Fixed the Fetishes Attached to Traits for Dominance and Sadism not triggering correctly.
  • Switches Unite! Dominance/Submission and Sadism/Masochism are no longer mutually exclusive. Just like real like, Switches can be a thing.
  • Added a Hint feature to guide players towards what may be "Undiscovered" about the trait in the Talk menu.
  • Fetishes can now be Discovered (New Fetish) and Changed (Encourage/Discouraged) Once Per Day (ie: 1 New, 1 Changed). It was slowing things down a little too much.

<Farm>

<Merged Ralph's Additions>

<Items>

  • New Images: Thanks to Rendrassa, we now have custom artwork that matches the in-game feel for Milk, Cum, Lube, Piss, Sedative and Hyperlactation. The age of reused art assets for milk bottles are over!
  • New Item: Sex Change Potion (by Rendrassa). It is heavy Toxicity potion needing cum and lube that changes a slave from Male to Female or Female to Male. Custom artwork included. It may expand further to add some "resistance" to the change in the future.
  • Added a simple Talk event that will show up once after someone's potion-based sex change.

<Fetish>

  • Transformation: Currently only used to sway their acceptance of the Sex Change potion. Will add Laboratory changes later.

<Farm>

  • Increased the base "Milk Value" costs to reflect variety per city

<Towns Expanded: Public Nudity>

  • Note: System can be disabled by setting "expansionsettings.gd's enable_public_nudity_system" to false

>Town Hall:

Jobs in Towns now have an option for "Public Nudity":

  • Towns now have their first interactable "Law": Public Nudity. This starts off as illegal for all towns. You can go to the town and try to speak to a Town Official. You can only gain entry if your reputation with that town is 10+ (ie: Positive or Great). The town has a natural "Sway" towards accepting a Law that varies from town to town. You can request to change a law at the cost of some Reputation. That cost is default 5 Reputation per attempt. Once the change has been requested, the council will "Vote" at the end of the day. If successful, the law will have been changed successfully.

Slave Interaction:

  • Slaves will have a chance to expose themselves (if clothed) if they don't already walk around naked per their rules. This affects them in the following ways.

Bonus - Charm and Beauty:

  • If the slave is naked while working in a town, they have a chance to receive Bonus Pay (+ a percentage equal to their Charm) equal to their Beauty.
  • Penalty -  However, if the roll is 50 above their beauty (ie: the 1-100 roll is 80 and their beauty is 30), they receive less money instead (Percentage equal to 100-Charm).
  • TLDR; Beauty is their chance to get a bonus (or critically fail due to being ugly) while Charm increases the amount received or reduces the amount lost.

Fines:

  • If they are naked in a town with Illegal Public Nudity, they have a chance to receive a fine of 50 gold, which they have a chance equal to their charm to reduce to 25. That chance is equal to the guard's skill for that town.
  • You can select to have these fines "autopaid" immediately or have them stored in the town council for you to manually pay by going to the town, town council, and Pay Fines. Manually paying allows you to pay with some reputation instead of gold. Not paying within 3 days takes a heavier reputation hit.

>Brothel

  • Added back the old Brothel Services that got missed on the v1 update. Brought the text and coloration of the brothel back to the current standardization goal. Added variety of text for the "seen slave working" description

<Crystal>

  • The Crystal's Immortality feature now prevents death if enabled. - Added by Pallington

BUGFIXES

A ton of minor bugfixes and code cleanup by Ankmairdor

<Lisp Trait>

  • Per Request, changed the default Lisp chance to 20 from 25 (editable in expansionsettings). It won't start checking until their lips are above Plump.

<Fetishes>

  • Fetishes can no longer increase via the "Generate Request" function during sex. It was previously checking each new turn with a chance to increase, so even a low chance still could after its checked after every sex round. Reported by GhostMD.

<Brothel>

  • Apparently all of the Brothel's services added by the mod were missing since version 1 came out. Whoops! They are back from all the way back in v9.25.

<Farm>

  • Fixed Incorrect Lubricant spill text

<Quest Fix>

  • Prevented giving away tribal or dark elves to the witch for the Elf choice - Found by Futur Planet

<Combat Text>

  • Removed the "tribal" from the elven warrior scouting text for clarity - Found by Futur Planet

NEW CONTRIBUTOR

Rendrassa - Images for Bottles, Text, New Potion

(1 edit)

Changelog v1.6

NEW FEATURES

<Integrated Name Coloration>

  • Added by Whims
  • You can now customize the color of a slave's name so you can color code your slave list. (This is a really awesome feature he added in)

<Trait Sorting>

  • Recommended by Whims
  • Traits will now be sorted Alphabetically in the Slave's list to make it easier to compare at a glance

BUGFIXES

  • Fixed Commented out NewSexSystem decoder
  • Many various bugfixes by Ankmairdor and other Collaborators
  • Fixed Pretty Voice to Pretty voice in expansionsettings

<Start Slave>

  • Fixed Commented out startSlave traits
  • Replaced the Submissive trait on Waifu specialization with a preset submission and dominance fetish along with automatic knowledge of it.

<Public Nudity System>

  • Fixed typo in the EOD report - Reported by DSS_Blacky

<Sex System>

  • New Attraction Formula: (Beauty - 40) + (Lewdness * .25) + (Lust * .35)
  • >If Calculating towards Player: + Ownership and times they've Orgasmed
  • Removed the RNG from Attraction. It does still have a component based on Lust, however, so it may fluctuate some within sex scenes (but not nearly as much). You may see "unattracted" characters gain attraction the closer to orgasm they get, however. The Player is now automatically sexually compatible (for now) with anyone they choose to sleep with (regarding their own desire to, not the other person).
  • Generate Requests in Sex System no longer tracks every time it checks as one to add into dailyevents
  • Fixed the order in which the fetishes are checked for sexual requests

Consistently when i get to having a tarus on milking with a milk maid it crashes. Here's the debug

Not a huge deal, but you replied to the main post which is going to interrupt the pattern for the change logs. Though, these errors have been mentioned several times on the last page of the topic so I will redirect you to one: https://itch.io/post/5279909

Changelog v1.7

Full list Here: https://github.com/AricTriton/AricsExpansion/commits/main

New Features

<Jail Improvements>

  • Initial Rework of the Jail Tab. Tired of shuffling through your lists of prisoners checking the rebellious status? Now you can access your Jailer, All Prisoners, or just Prisoner's Ready to Release (ie: prisoners who have stopped rebelling) in one easy to use, already existing panel. Check out your local Jail today!
  • Went ahead and added some color around the place (ie: text).
  • More fun features are coming.
  • Added Bar Sprites over jailed slaves for portraits and bodies to instantly indicate they are in "jail" - Images provided by Rendrassa

<Interaction Hints>

  • Added a new Interaction button at the bottom of the Slave Panel with a current count of number of remaining interactions. Should be a QOL aid.

<Person Expanded - Stripping>

  • Strip Toggle: There is now a Strip Toggle in the Customize section of the Slave Tab to allow you to automatically strip slaves. This toggle reflects the slave's nudity state, so it will appear pressed if they are already nude.
  • Rule Change: Renamed the Rule "Partial Nudity" to "Maintain Nudity" for better clarification
  • Updated Stripping/Reclothing: Slaves will automatically check to see if they were ordered to reclothe or strip themselves (rule), want to reclothe or strip themselves (exhibitionism fetish), or if they can (restraints on/destroyed clothing in Talk scene). They will run this check whenever the Slave List refreshes, after sex, and at the end of the day.
  • The player has a toggle in expansionsettings to be treated like any other slave and undress/redress based on their exhibitionism (as the player can't currently toggle their own clothing, UI update pending)
  • Praise and Punishment Bonus: Added a Praise and Punishment Bonus to Dates adding 3 extra turns the first time they are Praised or Punished the day they obey or disobey the nudity rules
  • Rebels Settings: globals.expansionsettings.only_rebels_can_refuse_strip_rule is set to true by default, meaning only actual Rebellious slaves can refuse strip orders. Set to false to let any disobedient or upset slave refuse.

<Rules Hints>

  • Rewrote the Tooltips for each of the Rules under Slave Tab/Customization for clarity and consistency.

<Tia>

  • Added Images to Tia - Image Created by Rendrassa

<Ivran>

  • Added Images to Ivran/Ivrana - Images created by Rendrassa

<Ayda's Shop>

  • Added images to the Bunny Boy in Ayda's Shop (when she's gone) - Image Created by Rendrassa

<Succubus> - by Ralph

  • Added extensive "Succubus" mechanics/content for Demon (Succubus) hybrids (available when using RalphsTweaks)
  • Fixed some Ralphstweaks content: Quicksell pricing fixed to match (mainly)
  • Added additional marketup/down text for Race Price movements written by The Alchemist, Rendrassa

<Mana Market> - by Smargoos

  • You can now set your Merchant to buy Mana as well as Food (up to a specifically set supply number). This is accessible in the same menu you set your headgirl settings in the Mansion.

<Non-Combat Travel Events> - by Ralph

  • Non-Combat encounters break up combat zones on the map so it's not all just "Oops more bandits".
  • (just conditional/random text atm; see expansiontravel.gd and Projects in the Github)
  • Purpose of the addition:
  • added opportunity to add lore/immersion to the game
  • you run into less capturables potentially in a given day (it's a slight economy nerf in line with the general direction of Ralphstweaks, but applied to base Aric's mod).

Future plans:

  • Add Choose Your Own Adventure variants to the non-combat encounters
  • Add toggle/settings to adjust the rate of non-combat encounter occurrences
  • also fixed eternally pregnant MCs;
  • also added sillymode (though toggling this in expansionsettings.gd only affects the new Non-Combat Encounters so far.

<Vices (formerly known as Flaws)>

  • Expanded the Vices system, renamed from Flaws as they aren't necessarily negative. Vices have more of an effect on personal luxury now, but each that increases luxury costs also can be negated by the appropriate rule.
  • The system can be disabled by toggling expansionsettings > flaw_luxury_effects to false
  • There is a dictionary entry explaining the system in more depth. It will also show in the description once revealed.
  • Added a reveal function for Vices in dailyUpdate. It also has a chance to be revealed on Mind Read (it may take multiple casts to break their "resistance". Will add a Talk feature to "discover" it in the future.
  • Only Lust and Wrath can increase Luxury Reqs to 40 (max change) which is the base for a Rich slave. All the others are 5-20, thus can be ignored/circumvented if needed.
  • Revealing the Vices via Mind Read is a check with a chance of Player Magic * 10 + Times Attempted that Day * 10.
  • Discovery: Vices can be Discovered via Mind Reading. The chance is the Presentation Bonus (settable in expansionsettings) + (player magic * 10) + (times attempted that day * 10). There is also an option to ONLY allow them to be discovered after they randomly present themselves
  • Removal: Vices can be Removed via Amnesia Potions, which will clear them entirely.
  • >Luxury Effects:
  • Jobs "satisfy" their needs as well, negating the penalties they may incur.
  • Lust: Maximum Base Bonus is 5 + 10% of Lewdness if they were fucked that day (Max 10). Every day they aren't fucked reduces that by -2 (which can turn into a penalty after).
  • Sloth: Bath +5, Rest or Housepet +5, Maxed Energy at EOD +10 (-5 if below 25%), Stress <= 25% +5 (-5 if above 75%)
  • Pride: Headgirl, Farm Manager, or Jailer positions give +10. Cosmetics & Bath provide +5 each (but -10 each if not allowed).
  • Gluttony: Cooking Job gives +10. Better Food + 10, refused Better Food -10.
  • Greed: Merchant and Milk Merchant jobs provide +10. Spend 5 extra gold with the Pocket Money job for +10 Luxury.
  • Envy: +20 if self is the "envy target". Otherwise, +10 if Headgirl, Farm Manager, or Jailer. Compares Sleeping arangements, Last Sex Day, Stress (only if < 50* less than Envy Target), and Origins for a difference of +5/-5.

<Food Purchasing> - Smargoos

  • Implemented Food Purchasing changes to match Mana Purchasing

<Consent Chance>

  • Added Perfect Info showing the Roll to Consent Chance (specifically for Party Consent)
  • Reworked Consent Chances to be more consistent, cleaned up some code, and prepared for future modifications. Tied in more Fetishes and Flaws.
  • Rebellion reduces slightly when they agree to Fight Alongside You
  • Made the hidden Nudity consent more visible in the new stripping format

Bugfixes

  • Cleaned up lots of various bugs/typos held over from previous version's code cleanup - Ank & Smargoos
  • Cleaned up & fixed calculation for the Town Guard to better optimize it
  • Cleaned up Pregnancy and more various features - Ank
  • Fixed the Fetish: Incest Increase to only automatically give Incest consent on Enjoyable + Mindblowing
  • Fixed Fetish Prompt
  • Disabled Farm Tab EOD if there's no farm
  • Coloration issue with breasts
  • A loooot of other minor fixes and tweaks
(+1)

Changelog v1.8

    <Entrancement>

      • In Vanilla, Entrancement just ensures the slave will gain Masochist and Enjoys Anal. I've tied it in so that it guarantees the next encouragement, whether Fetish, Consent, or Number of Kids.

      • >Initial Want/More/Less Kids: Reduced both to a 75% chance (if successful) to eliminate the impossible to fail check. Added Entrancement to Auto-Succeed then remove.
      • >Fetishes: The Discovery is guaranteed. Encouraging or Discouraging is guaranteed then removes.
      • >Consent: Guarantees then removes.
      • Entrancement only costs mana if successful (why spend for no result?)

      At long last.....my wait is over!!!!! Got to start a new game now!!!

      ooh. Looks like fun!

      Majorus concoction can be... buggy. I used it on my penis when it was at full length and it looped back around to tiny again, but not micro. I tried it a few more times to return it to regular size and it eventually just fell off. Then, I tried it on my testicles, which eventually just sorta... error ed. They too looped, but never dissipated. Inspecting my looks resulted in Error finding description Testicles Big.
      Also, the wimborn slavers guild has broken dialogue for services like elevation

      Any chance of a screenshot of the broken dialogue? And good catch on the concoctus potions. I’ll have to limit those from looping so no more dicks and balls fall off. Lol

      This is what came up after I paid to elevate a slave

      Deleted 2 years ago

      Regarding the bug report where you led them to the street, was that an existing save or new? And was this day 1 or later on? Did all other locations work in the Interaction?

      It’s looking like it is acting as if the flaw isn’t being detected during the date. Each Slave has 1 of 7 flaws (Seven Deadly Sins) that give better or worse results during matching interactions and it looks like yours isn’t assigned one. I’ll have to dig into it and see why it isn’t assigning.

      Deleted 2 years ago

      All issues are resolved.

      Just FYI, multiple mods can alter the same file.  That was one of the things fixed by the 0.5.25 release.

      I appreciate the bug notifications (and no worries about spamming it, I’d rather know for sure). Just as a heads up, it’ll probably be a few days before I start cracking into these bugs but I will definitely try to look into each one reported!

      Regarding the multiple mods altering the same file, I heard it was active now but haven’t tested it. My concern was primarily multiple mods altering the same function (ie: End of Day). So I’ve tried to tag each change in case anyone wants to make two mods that alter the same function compatible.

      The download doesn't seem to be working, it gets stuck retrying and won't actually start the download.  Using the Mega desktop app and the website in Firefox.

      Sorry for missing this! Did you ever get this figured out? Chances are its either you'd downloaded more than 5gb of data via Mega that day or Firefox's cache may have needed to be emptied.

      Seems like all chat options to encourage a fetish don't work. Clicking them does literally nothing.

      Edit: Seems it can be fixed by editing line 1019 of statstab.gd (the one in the main game folder path), in the right side of the comparison it reads something like globals.tabooarray.find(person.fetish[mode]-6) but that -6 should be outside the brackets like (globals.tabooarray.find(person.fetish[mode])-6) or something like that. Not sure if the logic here is what you intended or if it should be the other way around (6 - globals.tabooarray...) but at least this way the dialogue proceeds.

      Line 1022 also needs to be changed to globals.tabooarray[globals.tabooarray.find(person.fetish[mode])+1] for it to work.

      Edit 2: In lines 1192 and 1194 of \AppData\Roaming\Strive\mods\AricsExpansion\scripts\aricsexpansion\expansion.gd seems like it should be person.restrained = true , and person.restrained = false for 1196.

      In the same file there are several instances of person.lactating.storage , however in person.gd in var lactating it is stored rather than storage. Can be fixed by replacing stored in lactating with storage. I think this broke my save game though because I started getting invalid get index errors. From what I understand if you try to use the += operator on a key that doesn't exist it will give you that error, but I think I got that fixed by setting up an if else to first check for its existence with person.lactating.has("storage") and if not then using the = operator instead to create it first. There are several other get index errors though that pop up every day change, so that might have to be done to them as well. Or I will have to test on a fresh save tomorrow.

      I never used Godot but I hope this helps in some way.

      I might love you.

      I followed your edit and the fetish encouragement works.....

      it works so well, i think it kind of ignored the random section of the code......

      maybe the intended logic is fetish[mode]-6 not fetish[mode])-6

      but, hey!! it works

      Resolved! The logic was also needing the negative to be flipped, ie 0- code so the intended negative integer flips to a positive one. I'd missed that as well, but it is corrected. Thanks again for both the detail and finding the resolution to this issue.

      I'm not sure if this is part of the mod or a new part of v5.25 but i noticed you can only interact with a slave once per day whether it's a sexual or non-sexual action. has anyone else found this? if so did you find it to be an issue or do like the change?

      That was occurring without my mod when I was testing it. I’m guessing that’s a 5.25 update as well.

      alright thank you. it's going to make things take a bit longer (which i like) but kind of annoying in some ways as well

      The image should be left alone if no matching image is found. I can’t confirm compatibility but it should only change if the matching path isn’t null

      On your testing, did you disable/reload Aric's after disabling the other mods or just disable them? It seems to be working for mine, so I am wondering if it didn't override the base file with Aric's because it was already loaded. If you didn't try that, would you mind testing it and seeing if it works for you then?

      This was part of Nukas' discovered and resolved Restrained error. Resolved!

      I never use them so honestly forgot about the horses/beasts. Lol, they will have to be excluded from dialogue and assigned bigger parts.

      None of my slaves are getting pregnant, I'm not sure if it's a bug or I'm just unlucky.

      Save before any sex scenes and then try with each slave, use mind reading on each to see if they have become pregnant. Also check and make sure your main character and slaves don't have contraceptives selected. 


      Fastest way to go through the scene is to just select a vaginal penetration position and repeatedly select it until it ends

      Still nothing, nobody is on contraceptives

      Code screenshots save the day. Issue resolved.

      what about this?I also noticed that my starting slave gets stressed whenever she has sex, is that a bug, or part of the mod/base game?

      I've managed to fix most of the errors that i get, except that one, which I don't understand

      scratch that, I fixed it there was a typo on line 680 of globals.gd where it said expansion-trait, it should say expansion_trait

      could you possibly share your fixes? until we get a proper patch these would help tremendously as a temporary fix for us with no coding experience. I'm sure Aric would love you for it too

      what if I don't want them to get stressed while having sex, can i change something in the save file or code? 

      Fair point. I'll work on adding in a toggle-able option for the stress Attraction options during sex for a future version.

      Stress can occur in the vanilla game during sex and I won't mess with that, but incestuous actions, forcing them to have sex with people they aren't attracted to, or penetration after tearing can cause stress.

      I fucked my starting slave one time and she is preg.......

      damnit, just like mistake in real life

      but she has an unusually long preg duration tho.....like 30 in game days

      do you have any other mods on?

      you can change the in game pregnancy by having constants mod active and a tab should come up in the main menu where you can change the value

      I only have Aric's and the constant mod on, but I didn't change the constant number. will check that later

      Aric's has a base time of 14 days  but is changeable after the Nursery upgrade is unlocked (Level 1 or 2, I believe) to anywhere from 1 day to 9 months. That would be either constants or an error somewhere.

      Out of curiosity, did you have Constants activated above or below Aric's?

      I have constant above aric's, haven't gotten around to test the lvl 2 nursery, 25 upgrade points are a bit too much don't you think?

      When you're right, you're right. Lets make it 20.

      Yet another of those little issues stopping the dream of truly customizable hybrid races. Lol, disabled the hybrid race code in that area for now. Hopefully that will come in a future update.

      found another error when trying to give specializations to slaves. none of the texts show up as to what the requirements are for each class. if the funds are available you can still select one, but for now try just using the wiki to see the requirements for each.

      also an error in sexual actions is that the player character will have the vagina stretched for every sexual interaction despite there being no penetration involved. error didn't appear until after having the player was penetrated (previous sex didn't involve penetration at first) but now occurs with all slaves even if they do not have a penis


      Edit: just checked again. the text comes up to display as being stretched however the size still remains the same if there is no penetration

      (1 edit)

      Specializations I'll look into. If you can provide a screenshot that'd be really helpful and I'll try to fix it prior to the upcoming bugfix release.

      Regarding Sexual actions, just for clarification, was the player ever penetrated during sex and torn? The effects will persist for a full day but SHOULD reset each evening, meaning that if your initial sexual encounter tears their ass/vagina then until that evening each sexual encounter will have arousal lessened by 40-60%. Also, is there any error codes showing in the black box that pops up with the godot launcher?

      Edit: I think I figured out the stretching issue. I believe it is displaying if the participant was ever stretched even if nothing is currently using the stretched hole. That won't apply any penalties, but that can be confusing. I'll work on that.

      special class error as I've seen it. although housekeeper is selected, the text remains the same for all classes.

      Sorry should have clarified, there was penetration at one point with the first slave however after that, there hasn't been any. All other slaves were female and were being penetrate but main player was not and it has persisted over a few in game days.

      glad to her there isn't any penalty.


      Once again, i really love your work and look forward to seeing how far this goes. best of luck man!
