The folder name within the mod folder has to be "AricsExpansion" exactly with no space at the front or back of the name. Sometimes depending on how you extract it, it may also extract to a subfolder (where you have a folder structure of "AricsExpansion/AricsExpansion"). 

There is a current bug that we discovered due to the XP Boost system. Until I can figure out the fix on this one, you can circumvent it for now by using Constants mod or expansionsettings.gd in the mod files and setting disable_levelup_gate to true.

I'll look into it. Thanks for the report!

Version 1.9 has released. Check out details HERE

Hey again! I ended up having to get a new PC and still have to reinstall everything to be able to finish up the latest update. It's definitely been put on the backburner over the last year, but I do still intend to finish it and at least release all the changes pushed onto the github branch when I can get enough time to while juggling jobs. I can't give an ETA at the moment though.

This version was a very old one for a version of the game that you may not be able to track down. Ralph's is now integrated into the overall Aric's mod.

Absolutely! Join the discord at: https://discord.gg/Yha2g38DEe

There isn't a way to completely toggle it off, however you can toggle off portions of the feature. Under expansionsettings.gd (or in the Constants mod if you prefer editting it that way), look for "uniqueslavesautopartyconsent" and toggle that to true. That disables the consent system for all unique characters (basically by having them autoaccept everything).

Having the whole system toggled off is something that's feasible but it isn't in place currently. However, if you hit them with an Entrancement spell before talking to them, it should drastically increase the chance of them consenting.

Notepad++ will be perfectly sufficient for it. If you add it in the mod files, just remember to reapply the mod (fully deactivate, restart, reactivate, and restart). If you do it in the game files it'll take place next time you start the game but if you ever reload the mod it'll have to be redone. The safest option is adding it to both.

The first thing I’d check is that in expansionsettings.gd (or using the constants mod to adjust it) that ”perfect info” is set to true.

The hairstyle showing bald sounds like an old bug that should have been corrected already. Are you using the latest version of the mod or the main branch from GitHub?

If you’re using the debug mod, can you post the error code you’re getting? That’ll help us narrow down what’s going on.

Between you and me, I'm afraid it'll never be finished too. Fortunately we've got an awesome team working on it consistently for when I get pulled away.

I am indeed. It's been sitting partially done for a while as I just haven't had the time to dedicate to the mod that I hoped for some time, but it's not fallen off the radar. There have been several updates with some cool features like Enchanting on the github, but I've still been trying to hold off the next release until I can finish the Talk system as promised.

There’s not a lot of compatible mods as this is pretty much an overhaul mod for Strive. Which 3 have you found? I may be able to recommend others.

Unfortunately not at this time. I’ve been working on a rework for the entire talk system (which is why it’s been radio silence for a bit) but that isn’t done as of yet.

You can, however, set it up so unique characters automatically consent to joining your party. But not a full system disable.

There aren’t any watersports sex actions added, it was the actions via the farm and within a dialogue event. But that is a good idea to look into adding another sex action!

There is only one Nursery in the facility in the game which allows you to retain offspring.  Breeder is a specialization that the player can choose at the start of the game which automatically unlocks the nursery, increases the sell price for slaves born within the mansion, etc. It's an option alongside the Mage/Alchemist/etc. There aren't any issues with it as far as I'm aware.

However, if you're looking to breed slaves automatically or similar to a job, unlocking the farm will allow you to choose a lot of options on your slave when they are submitted. You can set them up with a stud there to breed daily.

That is a solid idea and it’s been bounced around on the Discord, but it’s not currently scheduled. It is definitely on the radar though!

There’s no major issues with the nursery that I am aware of. What issues are you encountering? If you’re using the debug mod, any screenshots of your errors would be helpful.

Also, are you only using this and the BugFix mod or are other mods installed as well?

I believe there are individual images on the discords but I don’t believe there’s a compiled pack for them as of yet. 

The virgin birth portion is rather odd. NPCs are designed to have offspring in the wild, especially if they are fucked by the player or their allies and released from the mansion or let go post combat. However the remaining a virgin portion is interesting as I’m not aware of a way for npc pregnancy to trigger without having sex first.

I’ll look into the code, but you may want to start working on some solid doctrine for that virgin birthed daughter wandering the wild. Either it’s a bug or a miracle, better safe than sorry!

The only way to have sex in Strive is either in the mansion (for the full sex system), post-combat with the generated scene, or in specific scenes/events. There isn't a way to have sex in the street in towns.

Keeping them undressed is fairly simple. The tooltip when hovering over the "Strip Immediately" option should explain, but it is only a temporary "Strip Now" option. The standard "Always Remain Nude" rule is still accessible from giving an NPC the Advanced Brand and it'll show up under Customize. The other option is just an easy way of stripping them down while talking to them but I was trying not to override the base game's intention on that.

I've given permissions to another modder to try porting this expansion to Conquest. I believe he's made some progress and gotten some features implemented, but I haven't checked it out personally yet.

Thanks for pointing that out! I think the page's link changed so I'll have to hunt down the updated link to that post.

Version 1.8d released. More bugfixes and goodness!

v1.8d is Released!

Thanks mate!

Hop in the Discord and we can likely sort out what's happening. A lot of times if the folder has been renamed or the folder structure changed it will CTD.

Thanks mate!

I'm not sure how that would have happened either, but the fix has been added for the next version. Thanks for the catch and the fix respectively!

That's a fine question! I think most people are still commenting in either the original thread on the main Strive page or in one of the two Discords. I see most questions/ideas/etc in either the Strive discord or the mod's Discord as it typically gets a quicker response there.

The hairstyle issues with Bald are a known issue. It was a feature added in by another teammate so I tried fixing it to the point of functionality so it’s not CTDing or throwing up errors but haven’t hammered out a better fix for what it was intended to do yet.

I restructured the sentence to not use the text replacers it was trying to and ensure it’s only using those present in the other functioning quests instead. There’s no replacer for $rare or $he in this one I could find so I just reworked it.

Fixed in the next version. Thanks!

That's how you know they are NICE nice. It's corrected in the next version, thanks mate!

I'll keep in mind your preference for lowercase in the future.

Capture Changes and Random Awareness are default of 0 which are what it appears they were in the released version for v1.8c. That's always been intended to be left as is for the release, so I'm not sure where it would have changed. I'll admit that those aren't the values I use on my personal playthroughs, so if it went from -3,3 or the multiplier of 10, I might have accidentally left in my personal changes into one of the old releases.

Version 1.8c has released. It primarily fixes the bugs reported from the v1.8 features.

I will actually swap that coloration to have the Tier 1 be aqua as well to make it stand out more in the next version. Thanks!

Fixed in the next version. Thanks!

It got missed when I was copying them into it. Images are kind of a pain that involve like 5 steps. Fixed in the next version, thanks for the report!
