Updating the Clothing and Uniform System
Added 2018-07-09 09:18:12 +0000 UTCI've made great progress with v0.7 over the last couple of days, with the majority of the work going towards a new clothing and uniform system.
In previous version of LR2 clothing was all handled as a single outfit. A girl would pick an outfit to wear at the start of the day and wear every single item in the outfit. That caused two significant problems: First, it limited the number of outfits to what I pre-designed or were submitted by patrons. Second, it meant that defining a uniform meant defining what kind of underwear a girl might be wearing. That might make sense towards the end of the game, but early on when you're setting very conservative dress codes it was jarring to have the ability to decide that.
The new system changes the way wardrobes are handled. There are now three classes of "outfits" in the game. Full outfits, overwear, and underwear. Full outfits are identical to what they were previously - fully described outfits with nothing to add. Overwear outfits contain only pieces of clothing on layer 2 and 3, the shirt/pants and coats layers. Underwear outfits contain only pieces of clothing on layer 1 (or 0, for when I add skin level items). When a girl picks out an outfit for the day she will now sometimes assemble a new outfit by combining an overwear and an underwear set.
This change has benefited uniforms as well. Early levels of the uniform policy now only allow you to set an overwear set - the girl will be allowed to wear any underwear set she wants with it. If a uniform is sluttier than a girl is comfortable with she will also try and wear the least slutty underwear set she can to compensate.
There has been a second major change to how uniforms are handled. Instead of each division having a single uniform each division now has a full wardrobe of uniforms, including full outfits, underwear sets, and overwear sets, just like a girls personal wardrobe. Girls will assemble their uniform in the same way as their personal clothing, allowing you to set up a theme of uniforms without every girl being dressed exactly the same.
I've still got a few bugs to squash with the new system, but I'm hoping to have it completely finished and tested by tomorrow. Once it's finished I will be turning my attention towards getting the cumshot logic implemented.

With that said this is not necessarily a good idea, on one hand it keeps the spirit of the game and it kind of takes advantage of things already present in the game, on the other hand it may feel like you are doing the same thing in too many places and a proper character progression may be more refreshing

I notice serums boost stats now, I'd love to have one that boosts my charisma before I have sex, so she gets more arousal each tick. Having a +1 stamina drug was what brought the idea up, just don't name it something with a V for copy-write purposes. Any way we could get a drug that boosts arousal, so when you start she is already ready?

Started to do the mod myself (increased max stamina to 3) but stopped because I didn't want to break my copy of the game. Anyway... What I'd love to see is two times during the day that you regain 1 stamina if you have less than max-and a max stamina of 3. In the long run you get about the same amount of sex, but you have more control, and it feels more realistic. Wake up, add one stamina, get off work (at start of "evening" time chunk" add one stamina.
