I'm literally having issues even attempting to wrap my head around installing the mod; i followed your 'READ ME' instructions to the letter, but i feel like there were steps missing or i'm just a dumb-dumb because im not seeing any changes to the game - like, at all - and its not showing up correctly in the 'mod' list in the main menu.

I would join the discord but discord and i are taking a break - purely mutual, i assure you. so i'm just kinda hoping to glean any and every little bit of information about how to correctly download this thing without turning my computer into a schnitzel.

hey, so, just want to make sure i've finally done it right - should the mod main menu screen look like this?

so, been playing with the mod and i noticed some things that i thought felt off, and i'm not sure anyone else has mentioned them yet so i'm just gonna list some things i noticed.

1. despite there being an incest scene with Emily and Tisha, and Emily expressing enjoyment over the act, when I 'Talk' to her and ask her how she feels about incest she expresses disgust.

2. Less of an issue and more of an idea; with the option to 'erase' people's personality's and in-game memories (Using amnesia potion on Chloe, getting the bad end of Cali's sidequest and turning her into a pet, etc) i was thinking that you should add a whole new trait to them. For example, you get 'Gratitude' from any NPC you help out in their sidequests, but you can also get it by erasing their memories and turning them into sex-pets; which bothered me for some reason. So maybe you could make a new trait; call it, i dunno, something like 'Ingrained' or 'indebted' or something, for if you take that kind of route when finishing up a character's sidequest.

3. some grammar errors with the 'sex-text' and some issues where instead of flavour text i just get 'error/colour/sample/text_yellow' or something like that.

4. this could just be a base-game issue and i'm being dumb but hey, figured I'd mentioned it. I got a pop-up letting me know about an 'abuse' feature, something about being able to 'abuse' prisoners, and i think its supposed to act as an extra option in the interaction menu but im not sure. Anyway, if this is an option i'm not seeing it show up anywhere, and searching the game's guide and wiki dont bring up anything so i'm leaning toward it being a mod thing.  I'd just like tyo know what that actually is, because i can't do it. Whatever 'it' even is.

5. I noticed that if i stuff a character's vagina with nut-butter, she inflates. not an issue. when i nut exclusively in her vagina and the text says "she has started drooling and coughing up cum working its way up from her ass" I'm like 'bruh, bodies don't be like that doe'. pliz explain.

6. I gave my character a massively massive long-schlong, okay? his name is big-dick silver-prick and he aint no small boi in the nut compartment either. I adore Maple. Maple is tiny. I fucked Maple. "Maple's pussy has been stretched, it is now 'tiny'." My long-john-big-schlong should have left that tiny fairy girl gaping like a bystander of 9/11, yet she just struts about all happy and stuff while the text torments me with " Maple's pussy has been stretched. It is now tiny". C e a s e  this torment

that's about it. apart from that though, this mod is great! 

Is there a plan to add gendered animals to the kennels? Like a choice to choose between male or female horses and dogs?

I'm looking through your modifications to the Mansion.gd.  If it is not too much to ask, what problems did you run into when modding it?

I think I found a bug basicly whenever I have a threesome and fuck them in turns it say that I have undersized penis when my character have a big one but if i fuck them the ass it doesnt say anything.

My laboratory appears to be broken:

Normally I'd try to figure out the issue myself but this one has me stumped

I've loaded this up for the first time and my first impression is that it is a little cluttered with information, particularly with the new traits. I think the movement trait can be hidden for walkers so only flyers and crawlers are shown. The genital traits could be in the character description, alongside the genital description, instead of in the trait summary.

Alright, so I have been adoring this mod so far. It gets a little clunky here and there, but not any major complaints about that here. One thing that  is really bugging me though is that a few of my girls (particularly the ones with good milk flow traits) lactate so much in a single day that it gives them 800+ stress, even after I've done everything in my power to alleviate it from the previous day.  You can imagine how frustrating it is to have your favorites have a mental breakdown each damn day. While I am rolling in cash from a couple of them, the ones I actually want to keep around the mansion are fucked. And not in the good way. Is there any way to help with this (since I'm an absolute dumbass and might not have seen an obvious solution) or should I just wait for updates? I know a few people have asked similar things, but I didn't want to get rid of the mod in the meantime since I'm enjoying it. sincerely, a horny on main lesbian who hopes this comment isn't too unbearably annoying. 

just a thought i figured would be nice to throw out there.

SFP is like, the only game of this kind. with enslavement and impregnation and noncon and all sorts of other fetishes; i haven't come across a single other game even remotely similar to this yet and trust me, i've been looking.

just thought i'd throw that out there. makes you appreciate Strive a little bit more.

One thing that really annoyed me in the base game was the amount of time the slaves spent outside the mansion after level up requests. You could easily find half your slaves away on rotation all game long with grade increases and holidays. I fixed this in my own mod and it would be quite easy to put into other mods too.

In jobs&specs.gd, var leveluprequests, add a vacation requirement of 'person.metrics.ownership >= 7' and a slave won't ask for a holiday until they've been with you seven days. Add improvegrade requirement of person.level >= 4 and only the experienced slaves will be asking for a grade increase.

Since you mentioned you're doing a combat overhaul, a nice QoL feature would be if we could set a "standard inventory" the game would try to fill at the start of each day.  So, something like automatically put 2 ropes, 5 bandages and 3 supplies in our inventory and put everything else in the mansion at the start of the day.

so, a friend of mine who plays strive almost religiously - he has 14,000 in game days worth of gameplay - told me he was making a mod for it; i didnt catch it all, because he's weird and talks like his mouth is attached to an F1 racing car, but apparently he's making a mod that makes the game more...wholesome?

like, proper wholesome stuff - holding hands and skipping through daisy fields, marriage, monogamy with the person you married, etcetera.

just thought i'd let you all know in case it ever does get done and it shows up here.

I found a bug months ago where the farm panel was opened in background behind the character detail in the mansion, but only when a character was selected in the character list. I think Ankh fixed this in the main code but this mod still carries the original bug (presumably as it copied an older version of the file).

At the start of on_farm_pressed in mansion.gd you can add the lines

    _on_mansion_pressed()
    yield(self, 'animfinished')

and this seems to act as a general reset for the UI, fixing this problem.

I have a request, I really like Darin's Chastity mod but its not compatible with the newest version of rebirth. and given his last activity was over 2 months ago I was wondering if you were think of creating something similar, or maybe you could ask if he wants to just have is mod be picked up by you? I really like the idea of orgasm blockers and it kinda sucks that I have to choose between the 2.

honestly, im looking forward to the growth of this mod, or rather expansion, than i was the the original completed game. I'm super hyped.

@AricTriton  I don't suppose there is a MacOS version of this modding guide, if not it's still good for me to run on my PC, but would like to use mac track pad. Just let me know soon as ya can, thanks mate
