After installing this mod, I no longer get the daily update when I finish the day.
A new progress may get you around that first error. The cause is an error resulting from a slave, which does not have "captured" effect, being given the nudity rule. The line "var captured" doesn't provide a initial value, but tries to use that variable for math in an "if" statement regardless.
Line 1682 of expansion.gd should be something like: var captured = 0
The mod is not designed to treat "pregnant" or "naked" as a tags, only alternate directories to "bodies". In order for them to work, they must be located in the "bodiespreg" or "bodiesnaked" folders provided by the mod and they must have identical relative paths inside of their top level folder("bodies", "bodiespreg", or "bodiesnaked"). For example:
.../bodies/Human/Female/Teen/Black SkinL TitsH AssB [f688dac6].png
.../bodiespreg/Human/Female/Teen/Black SkinL TitsH AssB [f688dac6].png
.../bodiesnaked/Human/Female/Teen/Black SkinL TitsH AssB [f688dac6].png
I appreciate the feedback! I'll try to respond to each point as you made them.
The amount being in Oz was 100% just a testing/flavor thing and not at all supported by math. The system is pending enhancement anyways, but then I may math out what the actual numerical values would be. Possibly. I'll always choose fun over reality in my mods and the reality of fetishes like cum inflation haven't really met reality, so I may just remove the oz part and leave it to imagination.
The consent system is fairly rudimentary right now, but should be using a new check function that will check obedience, loyalty, fear, lust, etc vs the request to add a lot of other factors and variety into the system. It is fairly flat with a basic check right now, but until I work the kinks out on that I will recommend checking their loyalty and obedience. That is the biggest factor at the moment, with Loyalty far over Obedience. Keep in mind that just because they accepted you as their master (no captured effect), they may not want to willingly risk their life for you yet!
The "secrets" are revealed in the stats tab, though v.07 is expanding on that even further. The Dimensional Crystal 2 will allow you to shorten the time down to a single day pregnancy if you want and it also compares the maximum potential stats from the mother/father and will give the baby the stronger of the two. That means you could breed hyper-intelligent orcs or any other weird game-breaking offspring you desire. All that to say...it is very game-breaking, but hopefully fun! It (hopefully) will provide either a different game-play style entirely (using the Breeder Specialization) or, like you said, add additional game-play options for after the main story.
Regarding Cali - I'll work on patching that for v.07. That would be immersion breaking
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I'm with you when it comes to the fantasy. The thing is when sexed my females are going into the mode of being immobilized. I can't even change their occupation to rest. They still do the jobs they were assigned to, prior to the sex, but are immovable, cum-coughing balloons until they deliver their child, when pregnant.
So, the question is: is this working as intended? I think there should be a way for them to walk maybe one or two days later. As I said, I'm fine with the fantasy as long as it doesn't block any action for 13 days. It works quite differently for males - one of my guys took 10 loads and he's walking just fine.
on a sidenote: the first children are born in my mansion! A dark elf-/wolfkin-breed with slutty and quick - not maxed out, I know, but I like her! :D
I hope you have a good day.
Congrats on the new offspring! It isn’t operating as intended with the immediate immobilization, for sure. In v.07 I’ve heavily reworked the Swollen system as part of implementing the “hidden pregnancies” feature. That is still in testing but should ideally fix the quick immobilization issues.
Regarding that, however, what is the Endurance of the immobilized Slaves? The new system calculates endurance and Strength, but the old one heavily relied on their endurance to “support” their increased weight.
Regarding the males, the old system calculated anal capacity as double that of vaginal, which is likely a large component of why they were less effected. Did the system feel more natural for them?
When you mentioned Endurance I thought that's it because my females are really just breeding stock, never being part of any serious leveling, but the Dark Elf, inflated and immobilized for 13 days, actually had max Endurance (4).
When your females blow up, what is the intended system for them to deflate again? Because it looked like they were just stuck.
Since the guys were never incapacitated because of sexual interaction I would say it felt better. The flavour text could mention them blowing up more, as long as they maybe wash themselves over night and are able to walk.
If you have a cum inflation kink when it comes to guys, it looks difficult to produce the more hefty flavour texts. You would have to keep low Endurance guys around and hope high Beauty, high level dudes come with a low endurance preset.
They are supposed to auto-deflate at night, except for due to pregnancies, but that seems to only partially trigger due to the option for them to want to keep it in to get pregnant. Eventually I intend for it to be enforced via Rules (keep it in/wash), conversations (Release it), or items (plugging it up).
That’s still pending though. Hopefully v.07 will fix a lot of the larger issues with inflation not resetting or occurring too sporadically and the extra features will resolve the rest.
The pregnancy speeds can be altered by talking to your Headgirl OR a slave with over 4 Magical Affinity (configurable through the expansion.gd settings).
Regarding the 5.25 status, where was it telling you that prior to mod installation? Most of the files modified came from a fresh 5.25 install but there may be something that carried over that changed a new vanilla option.
if you are using a windows then I can help you! (I was confused at first). Firstly, put the AricsExpansion folder in C:\Users\*your_username*\AppData\Roaming\Strive\mods. Then after go into the folder *IMPORTANT - READ...*. for the first one (name is appdata roaming), put it before the mods folder (so C:\Users\*your_username*\AppData\Roaming\Strive). As for the second one, take the files and put it in the root directory of the game (which you will see strive.exe and other stuff, and there is a folder with the same name as files)! After that, go into the game and don't forget to put the mod in priority of all others.)
edit: there is no .exe, only some files..?
I have had the same issue, I also encountered something similar with the Captured status for Slaves where it never goes away like it normally would when the game would say ".... has grown accustom to your ownership." or something like that. @feral_dragon if you know how to edit your save file you can fix it that way, at least that is how I do it.
Here's a sendspace link to the culprit save :D

Let me know if it works.
Thanks!
I had no problem with it, but put Improved Random Portratis v1.0 in the mod list in second place (Aric's should be the one on top)
This is, how I got it working, maybe it helps:
1.) put the whole mod from the zip, the folder AricsExpansion in AppData/Roaming/Strive/mods/ folder.
2.) do the "IMPORTANT -..."stuff, that means the two empty folder bodiespreg and bodiesnaked in AppData/Roaming/Strive/ folder
and the files folder from the "Put in Strive Game Files" in the game folder with the strive.exe
3.) start the game, activate the mod within the main menu: just use the "Mods"Option in the main menu, then klick on the entry AricsExpansion and then on the "Apply" button.
4.) restart the game and enjoy
The errors in the picture state that the source of the problems is that it could not find the file "user://mods/AricsExpansion/scripts/aricsexpansion/expansion.gd". Given that it appears to have successfully modified the game files so that they will request the file, the issue appears to be acutely related to the "aricsexpansion" folder and it's contents.
My path to this file(Windows 7, no itch.io launcher) is "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Strive\mods\AricsExpansion\scripts\aricsexpansion", and it contains the files:
"expansion.gd", "expansionfarm.gd", "expansionraces.gd", "expansionsetup.gd", "expansiontalk.gd", "old - expansion.gd", "old - expansiontalk.gd"
