I know with Aric's Mod it's good to delete the backup before applying the mod because you actually have to directly overwrite some of the main game files directly as part of the installation process. So if you don't delete the backup, it will just overwrite your changes with the original files you had before. My understanding is that if a mod has no such manually installed files for you to deal with, you shouldn't need to delete the backup, but it doesn't hurt to do so anyway.

Could you try a fresh install and tell me if this still happens?

For a fresh install: Just unzip the S4PGameFolderRMAM097 folder to a new location fresh from the .7z file and rename it S4PGameFolderRMAM097-test or similar. Then, rename your existing AricsExpansion folder in appdata/roaming/etc. to AricsExpansion-backup and copy AricsExpansion from the .7z file to your appdata/roaming/etc. in place of the one you renamed.

If you do that and open the game directly from the Strive.exe in the new S4PGameFolderRMAM097-test folder, and you still have these errors, then it's got to be a problem in my version. If the error doesn't occur anymore, then you can try copying your save over from AricsExpansion-backup to AricsExpansion and load it to see if the error reappears. If not, you're all set.

I put the game on a new one
started a new game (base) without mods
but still an error got out, there was no information about the birth again

The pregnancy error persists in different versions of the game (regular and additional, with and without mods), I replayed several times with the renamed folder, following your instructions ...

You said "before installing any mod, I delete the backup, otherwise, after installation, errors appear in the mod panel", for which he asked you to try a fresh install without deleting the backup.

The errors you posted do not appear to be related to the mod panel in any discernible way, but instead seem to be standard Aric's mod gameplay errors found on the terminal window. I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding here.

slipa6664 years ago

yes, maybe you are right, sorry, I expressed incorrectly
but, errors remain and I can't play normally
can you tell me? wait for the next fixes? or something else

Not sure when the next version with fixes will be out, Ralph would have to answer that. Though Strive's scripts are pretty easy to edit with a decent text editor, and many of those errors have solutions identified in either Aric's mod topic or on the Strive Discord (https://itch.io/t/284398/discord), which is a great place for fixing bugs fast.

I wanted to ask everything ... a folder called: "IMPORTANT - READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLING" you need to do something with it, or is it there for beauty, so to speak? I just didn't do anything with it ... maybe I should have?

Ralph probably made a low effort derivation of Aric's mod, which required multiple install steps. The only things you might need from that folder are the "Put in AppData.Roaming.Strive" folders for expanded slave images. The rest is already included in his Strive program folder.

Slipa666, I've tried every combo of install per my instructions using the latest files which the links on my post will get you and I can't duplicate your errors. You shouldn't need to do anything except what's in the instructions on the edited original post. You should not copy any files from "IMPORTANT - READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLING" b/c those are just copied from the original Aric's Mod and have already been applied and also altered in their final location to fit in with the rest of my changes. You don't need to (nor should you) apply any mods in-game using the mod panel (they're already activated on the version I've uploaded). My best guess is this is an install error and some of the files are getting mixed up.

In case something went wrong before, I suggest you try a 100% fresh install (maybe backup all of your previous installs to a separate .zip or something to be sure they are out of the way?). Literally all you should do is copy 2 folders - the main game (S4PGameFolderRMAM097) folder can go just about anywhere as long as you have read/write enabled there. The AricsExpansion folder needs to go where it would normally (which I assume you have figured out else I expect you'd have bigger problems, but see instructions again if needed). Make sure you are using the Strive.exe from the latest S4PGameFolderRMAM097 too (not from a previous install or shortcut thereto) which you should download from the mega link in the original post (I did update it to fix some errors as noted).

Once you have those 2 folders copied over and working, then you could try applying my optional tweaks and/or other mods. I hope that helps, otherwise I'm at a loss. I really hope it works out for you. Best of luck!
