Free Cities, Pytfall(although focuses more on rpg elements over slavery atm), whoremaster (use crazys mod) to name a few. IMO though, free cities and strive will be your best bet. Pytfall feels the most similar to strive. Yet entirely different. Whoremaster is very old, and I havent played it in a very long time, but crazys mod just got updated not long ago, maybe worth a shot. Personally I enjoy them all to some extent.

Right, I also use the portrait editor. It works wonders. When you use the editor it will make the sructure Race-Female-Age. Which is a good folder structure and Ive never seen it fuck up. What ive personally done in the past is basically this:
Look through folders for duplicates
If no duplicate move it to seperate folders marked P or B
once done name all something like "1" or "A"
Delete the old race folder. Then edit the images, move them back to the Bodies/Portraits folder. This helps since theres no foolproof image duplicate software thats any good, unless you want to pay. However, it becomes increasingly tediious with larger sections like Human or Elf.
As for the issue of the full bodies, as long as they are in identical folder paths, there wont be an issue. However one mistake and it doesnt work. Heres an example of what basically happened to Arachna in my last reply.
On another note, you'll want to watch your file structure. They are out of wack. While it will help you when organizing/editing, as well as help users, it also screws with the game. If a Portrait and Body are not in the exact same folders, it wont read them as their connected. Ill use Arachna as an example here.
In Bodies you have:
Adult - Empty
Adult+Teem - Empty
Blond - Empty
... etc.
Female
Inside Female you have more "Adult Adult+Teen.." Etc in it. The images are in there. 11 empty files if your counting.
However in Portraits you have:
Adult
Adult+Teen
blond - Empty
.... Etc
NO Female folder.
The images in Portrait are in the first set of ages instead of inside the female folder. The game wont read the Portrait and Body together. I can assume this was a mistake due to the amount of empty folders. You didn't move the images a folder deep enough.
I'm unsure if others have the same issue, but I do know a ton of them, if not all have a ton of empty files.
I really do appreciate the effort. Ive tried doing this shit several times on my own, and give up a few races in. What you're doing is a saints work. Since everyone who made a pack had their own way of making their folder setup, its difficult to merge them together. Unless you want a bloated file size (which does appear to slow the game down) Its only been viable to use one pack at a time. I do hope you don't get disheartened, and if I can help lemme know.
I uh, hate to say this but the beastkin/halfkin issue isnt fixed...
Halfkin is a human, looks like a human. Only has ears and tail.
Example: Halfkin-Female-Adulr= ad810df8
Beast is anything more. Fur, muzzle, different shaped limbs, color markings etc.
Example: Same folder = 6b2538b0
There are currently 5 beastkin cat pictures, while 147 in the halfkin adult alone.
While normally it isnt an issue if you dont mind furry charecters, but I think that means beastkin races will have a very low amount of images to pick from.
This may make me sound like an asshole, so I apologize in advance. Right now Strive is Aric. I would suggest any modder to think this way.
I really like Changing the date system, and can in theory fit really well in with Arics fetish system. I know that its not fully implemented yet, but some frame work has been done, giving a base.
example being kiss, hug, intimate talk could be boosted by relatives through the incest fetish.
On top of that, it potentially opens up more possibilities for more interactions later down the line. Also laying a base could potentially allow you, or someone else in the case of you burning out, to pick up where you left off (given your fine with that).
Long story short, I believe Strive suffers most from lack of complexity. The more options you have, or the more systems that interact with one another the more complex it becomes. I'm all for this mod, rather it ever ties in with the fetish system or not. Looking forward to it.
P.s. no offense to the dev or any mod author.
Aye! I was wondering how I would suggest a stress change to you. This is awesome. Heres hoping it works. Traveling with a party is a big pain as of now. Also this will help early game. Youre already trying to train your starting slave, manage food and cleanliness, its alwaya a massive hassle to level the pc early on. This should help that a lot. Bravo to you sir.
Another much smaller bug. This time after using a scroll of knowledge (reward for the second bug in op) game jumped to a charecter screen that doesnt exist, was just able to close the charecter page, which returned me to the inventory screen showing me the results of the scroll, which worked on the correct charecter. Nothing broke like the last two bugs.
Also music randomly stops, not sure the cause. Opening the options menu seems to bring it back. I believe it has something to do with combat, because it just happened again after combat.
Im sure this has already been shared, but cant be bothered to read all the threads.
the 'code' if i remember right was a quest bug. Basically after accepting a quest to kill some wolves, it didnt have a time limit and rewards showed it was just food. Was able to fight wolves, but unable to complete or abandon quest.
The last 3 was a combat bug. After initiating another quest to kill some rebels, when combat began game froze for a few seconds and combat wouldnt begin. They didnt attack, and I didnt have the option to.
(Another note: I have edited files, I simply increased the amount of starting points both PC and starting slave have, so I doubt it effected these two bugs).
First off, is there any way to lower stress gains during combat aside from the bravery stat? while it does help, it doesnt do enough as long trips still screws with them.
Lastly, the Deviant trait, is the only way to achieve it is by beastiality? I felt like I had given my slaves the trait long ago without it but cant recall the method, simple google search doesnt help. and the wiki is far from complete. Like maybe milking or something like that?
Are you open to new jobs? The marriage system could be expanded a lot.
A concubine job: For those who want their waifu to have a sex job withought fucking strangers. With marriage and loyalty, charm etc. boosting the effects of the job?
Possible bonuses:
1. Reputaion increase. Possibly that race effects this. Example a Human concubine would boost rep in whimborn more than Gorn
2. A leadership role similar to Headgirl. Possibly help remove negative traits, or get new ones?
This is just one possibility. with the marriage system, a lot of new possibilities open up. which in the eyes of a management and lewd game lover who happens to be ntrphobic is desperately needed in more adult games, mod or no mod.
additional notes for this:
While I did say d harem protag was compatible, note I did remove the spell file from the mod because I didnt want it, nor checked it. I only wanted the stats increase, until I found what file to edit myself to do this. So. it didnt get a whole lot of testing on my end. I recommend checking the files and/or testing yourself.
ive ran into two bugs.
first the cloning bug, I saw people seeing it in the market, but dunno if anyone mentioned it in wild encounters. Ive seen captured people have the same name, portrait and traits. Happens rather often actually.
The second im unsure if its related to this mod, or something is fucked up on my end. Basically seemingly randomly after a fight the UI goes haywire. Text disapears, no options available aside from hide UI, Quest log, Map, Inventory and control. The only thing I can do is restart the game. I had a potential theory that its related to events or some actions. it doesnt seem to happen all the time, so hard to test.
Basic theory: Possibly party members? Every time it occured something related to my starting slave whos apart of my party happened. She was injured, sent for promotion, or one of her three starting events happened. So maybe game thinks she should be there and bugs out?
Aditionally, after reload ive had it bug out again, but after advancing day it worked.
Also, have three mods active, Standard Harem Profagonist (removed spell tweaks), this and improved portraits. did a quick look and didnt seem to ovelap, but maybe im retarded.
Mind if I make a possible suggestion to those who are making or editing/combining packs?
Since there aren't too many futas yet, try tagging images where the person isn't fully nude, or whe can clearly see they aren't packing heat as both female and futa. Examples could be a girl wearing a dress, or having her back facing the camera, etc.
I attempted to edit the packs myself to do this, buuut... I don't have the patience nor attention span. Gave up on it after waaay to much time put in without any progress made.
