[F.A.Q.] 1/2

>What is Honey Select 2?
A super simple love hotel simulator where you create your own girls and can choose to have sex with them in various settings.

>What is AI Shoujo/AI Girl?
A sandbox game where you and a bunch of girls are stranded on an island. You can start relationships with the girls and build your own home.

>What is StudioNEO?
A bundled component of most Illusion games, it allows you to create custom scenes by posing characters, props and other objects. This is what all the nice pictures are made with.

>Do Honey Select 1 cards work with HS2?
No, you'll need to remake them.

>Do AI Shoujo cards work with HS2?
Yes, and vice versa. You'll need to change their personalities, however.

>How does HS2 differ from HS1?
Newer game with better models and mod support.

>I'm new to the studio, where do I start?

>Do I need to download the 50GB mod zip?
No, optional studio mods. Check contents and download specific mods here:
https://sideload.betterrepack.com/download/AISHS2/

>How do I do XYZ in the main game?
Check the wikis.

>DHH or GraphicsMod?
DHH is simpler, GraphicsMod is more robust. You'll need GM if you want to make use of Hanmen or others' shaders.

I don't suppose anyone has Darkruler's Rio Morales mod they would be willing to share? I know it's a long shot that someone would share it, but thought I'd ask anyway.

>>8578767
Hey, it bumped in the end! I sometimes check the thread out of habit, but there has barely been anything relevant since the last few threads sadly. Since the negress is OP, I've gotten used to scrolling up from the bottom of /h/, easier to find the thread.

Girls eyes follow camera, girls head follows camera, hide player.
Don't be disappointed in VR if you're waifu is not hot, some characters look ok ingame but bad in VR. Check all your characters. The size of her head relative to the VR viewport is especially important.

I've been working with this in Studio because, like real life, I find the view angle/focal length does impact the impression of the face a lot. There is a certain favoured fov for some characters (ie 35 degrees) but it differs by design obviously.

Can anyone help me out with a problem I'm having? I just reinstalled the repack and whenever I use the Next-Gen body, there's a weird seem on the side of the right leg just below the knee. Anyone familiar with this issue and know how to fix it?

Sup bros, downloading the repack now
>first time trying an illusion game since HS1
Does the repack come with the standard community mods or do I have to install them all myself?

>>8587709
The repack is pretty thorough so you should be good with that to start. Most other things you might install manually will likely be for studio autism.

Anybody have the full list of the DALI mods?

Specifically DALI_DLDTJLCC?

That's the TVBOX gimmicks from Noble_kale. search the name and author and you should be good to go.

I have been meaning to ask for a while but does any sort of mod adding sex positions exist at all? I have changed drives and want to redownload the game once again

Did the model for Eve from Stellar Blade get ripped yet

>>8602345
Not into the main game.
>>8602561
Not exactly but her suits been ripped and the outfit is in the latest packs from what I have.

>>8602561


Pretty sure it will be ripped easy when it releases on PC... it runs off unreal engine 4 from what I heard.. the easiest tool ripping version yet

Could someone recommend me a way to filter or find unmodded scenes? I just want group shots and what not

>>8603999
Yuki portal has a tagging system that you can search and sort by which might help if you can figure out the moon runes but it's kind of a mess since people either might not tag their stuff or misuse them.

sideloader stopped working. game only launches as vanilla now in japanese. i didn't do anything to my files. wtf?

>>8604271
Launch through the initisettings
Check plugin paths in F1
Check modmanager settings paths
etc etc

>>8604972
launching through initsettings didn't help.
you mean the f1 menu in the game? everything is in japanese, i can't read it.
the directories in the mod manager are all correct.

>>8605699
I don't know. With how janky the game is, I would try launching through initsettings in a random language, then again in jap, then again in english hopefully to reset things. I think I encountered something similar way back but I don't remember.

Are there any plugins for footwear like this?

>>8603228
The demo is out and the model is out there now. Only a matter of time.

Trying to learn a bit of animation, not really happy with this one. How to improve/what is it missing?

https://files.catbox.moe/gqn8jw.mp4

Any mods that make it possible to add plap sounds in H scenes in main game?

>>8618596

if you mean the same sounds as heard here, then no, afaik its only for Studio. Modders rarely mod main game for illusion games other than some qol stuff.

>>8618592
Animation looks stiff. Trying moving the camera closer or switching angles to get closer to the action if you don’t know how to get more movement.

>>8620555

Ya, Stiff is the main reason im unhappy. Not sure how to get more physics and jiggle out of it. VaM has spoiled me with its built in physics out the box.

>>8621354
Compared to the first game the second has no movement at all. It probably has something to do with the new engine but shortly after release I remember seeing a mod that added back bouncing to the breasts and ass jiggle. The problem is if you’re using the better repack it’s not compatible with the mod something with the jiggle mod it comes with overrides it. If you really want more movement that’s probably you best bet but it’s really old and abandoned so I don’t know how well it’s gonna work out.

>>8622714
I'm no expert on studio but I'm sure jiggle physics are still included and work without major issues. I'm on the R16 update and loaded up this scene just now.

>>8623029
I’m talking about a different mod. The mod adds jiggle physics from hs1 which makes the ass and thighs have more movement. The mod the repack has for jiggle physics only applies to the breast.

Everyone, please follow me, I'm a great creator.

anyone here could share freelancer604's paywalled pose packs?

Just a word of warning.
I went out to touch grass and hooked up with 2 irl girls only to learn dick is basically not working anymore. Can't hold an erection for long with a real girl.

I have been using HS2 in VR for years now. I thought it was great it could keep you going for like 30 mins straight with a soft hole, not just a quick fap. But apparently it was too much. Maybe too much stimulation.
Now that I think about it, the virtual girls you keep are obviously all 10/10, and you can also keep switching in game, which just adds to it.
I'll (try to) put it off for a few weeks at least. But man, if it turns out to be really HS2 and I can't use it anymore, I don't want to get rid of my card collection either.

>>8628240
>tfw just got old VR given to me recently and set up
Noooooooo. BTW the HS2VR plugin orange thing isn't working for me so I've only been using the game's own VR as far as I can tell which is slightly clunky, any tips?

mod recommendations to make the game/bodies as visually realistic as possible and add more freedom when creating cards?

>>8628240

Wrong board, pajeet.

which creator do you think has the highest quality cards? I dont mind paying and sharing

How does one get started making sideloader mods? I will learn modeling on Blender first because it's something I wanna learn regardless of this game. Doesn't matter how long it takes me, I am not in a hurry. But after that, would it be necessary to learn Unity as well?
I was looking at Hooh's modding tool/guide but it seems like a "1) draw a circle, 2) draw the rest of the owl" kinda thing. The whole thing is rocket science. I wanted to look at existing mods as examples but the internet is like "the .unity3d format is not real bro". There is a long road ahead of me.

Also this is my gf, do you think she's pretty?

>>8651655
I have no clue about the modding question as someone who keeps putting off learning Blender but I think I did see people sharing tips on the big discord server so if you're feeling brave you might try shooting a question there. It might help to have some goal in mind like something specific you want to make or port to guide your questions. Regarding your second question I summon UGLY BASTARD.

HMMMM

Enjoy the honeypo-I mean server member list getting downloaded, discordfags :^)

>>8659055
Is getting restored(?)

we are so back

>>8659078
SO what's the lore behind this hacking?

>>8659091
dunno exactly. members are saying it was telegraphed right before the attack but it's a former mod that got demoted and didn't take it well (they told him he would lose powers before actually demoting him). im not super knowledgeable on who that could be but i know lydia (admin/owner i think?) was schitzoposting about another mod that approached her romantically and felt betrayed because he was friends with her for years for the sole reason of seeking a discord relationship so my best guess is it was him. pretty pathetic desu i hoped you guys archived your favorite posts because they are unrecoverable.

>>8659105
No probs, Once the thread is going back up they can be posted again, but fortunately I was up to date in the channels I had interests (the only that I will sorely miss is the useful channel)

>>8659105

I mean I still see xLyDiA is still showing up as a (mutual server) so It cant be her?

>>8659180
i was talking about the guy

>>8659091
Some mod went rogue because he hurt his feelings over getting demoted. Discord mods being discord mods, even in porn game groups.

>>8659105
>i hoped you guys archived your favorite posts because they are unrecoverable.
People don't browse the discord group for the posts, but for the mods and pictures. Most of those are hosted elsewhere.

>>8659327
idk man I really feel like there were lots of exclusive things in the discord, mainly niche scenes and overlays

>>8659327
that's literally what im talking about. there are mods that are on other places and you can use HSresolver on them but SOME mods were exclusively on the discord. plus there were several guides that were directly posted there as well, and cards also. theres lots of stuff you can't find elsewhere besides studio works. anything not backed up is just gone

the fuck?

>>8659660
>The man makes $5k a month making glorified ports and terrible "custom" jobs and still does this
This guy is such a fucking shitheel. He can't take criticism, he bullies other modders out of the community (See: K1T0 incident) and has the gall to pull stunts like this.

>>8659730
>making glorified ports and terrible "custom" jobs
Can attest that, On oh his bottom coordinates has a good mesh, but fucks up the body if goes hal-state (got pissy when noted)

>>8659730
K1T0 was bullied? Man he is one of the few who got his shit in categorized menu lol

>>8659660
This retard cant do any of that but block somebody and alter the mod. if he tries to charge for shit after blocking them its fraud.

Just got the game yesterday and got mods with hundreds of models but I'm finding it hard to find the ones I like. Are there sites where I can browse and see the model before I download it?
I'm looking for mainly overwatch characters and celebs.

>>8659660
What a faggot holy shit lmao. Can't wait to this cunt to get what's coming to him, someone will sue him. Makes me happy I leaked his whole library right here last year.

>>8660421
you got a link for that fampai?

>>8651655
yes you will have to learn unity as well. you can try emulate us hsboomers and use sb3ugs but there is no need for that now. hoohs tool covers up most use cases.
you also need a way to get your own textures, for example, substance.

http://hooh-hooah.github.io/
you can start with that. it is jank, incomplete, abandoned and sometimes straight up bullshit info, but it can get you started and cover on simple things like accessories, studio items, clothing
note that "latest" version of his tool lacks quite necessary(if you plan on making things like skinned accessory) components so you will have to download latest version + not-very-latest version that has them.
for shaders, get latest hanmen shaders:
https://github.com/Hanmen-lab/HS2-AI-ASE-Shaders/tree/master/Shaders%20ASE

if you wish to make c# mods(plugins), this is a handy reference:
https://docs.bepinex.dev/
bepinex template with this command works quite well for hs2:
dotnet new bepinex5plugin -n YourPluginName -T net46 -U 2018.4.11
get bepinex debug tools too because making plugins without that is NOPE:
https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx.Debug
read up on assembly definitions - easy way to get custom monobehaviors into game.

otherwise, the world is your oyster.

Does that mean Mr. GDC is monitoring this thread as well?

>>8660735
It wouldn't surprise me if he did. GDC, go fuck yourself you thieving cocksucker. You rip things from other games and then charge money for it? That's called theft. :)

>>8660765

ouch I ported animations for HS1 for free.. I keep getting pings from that K1to guy asking for permission to use the animations but from what looks like he took some those animations and put it on his patreon … but he got yall paying for them .. ouch.. even though I ported them first from other games for free with on hs1… unless he took my selfmade and mocap ones..not sure I can do much about it.. :/

>>8660857
I pirate all my mods because paying for mods is a crime.

>>8660399
Check the sites in the OP and lurk the big discord. People usually share screenshots in some of those places like yuki portal and the discord server (got revived but is missing old posts). The search function on bepis seems easier to use though.

Some words of warning. You're going to have to accept that there's going to be a lot of trial and error involved. Models may end up looking different on your machine because of differences in the lighting or available mods. Don't be afraid to tinker with the customization settings.

>>8660857
>yall paying
Ain't nobody here paying shit for fuckall.

>>8660439
No I catbox'd it to people as they wanted stuff. *Maybe* it's still in my downloaded folder, I'll have to check later.

No matter what I do my GPU is always at 100% when running this game. Reducing the graphics or resolution may make the game run smoother, but the GPU is still at 100%. This vanilla or with mods, doesn't make a difference.
Is this game just badly optimized or is unity always like this? I mean I've played some unity indie games that almost made my computer explode.

>>8659660
Don't think thats going to fly with the discord group. Paid mods there are strictly prohibited.

>>8661314
>Is this game just badly optimized or is unity always like this?
Its just badly optimized. You can make a modern computer choke even with the first game.

>>8661314
the japanese were always bad at optimizing PC games, but autistically efficient at optimizing handhelds, dunno why

>>8661023
I am never paying

>>8659105

people are saying its some retard named Cali that did it.......basically he hasn't been active in a long time(idk if years from what it sounds like) and they demoted due to not being active... and he got butthurt for that? idk unless he's actually retarded.. that doesn't really make sense....

I love the sexy slither of a serpentborn lady.

How do i make my 232gb HoneySelect 2 to load faster? When I click the buttons for saving a new character, loading a character, or loading clothing, it takes almost 4~5 minutes to load. It's driving me insane.

>>8668672
Put it on a SSD

My folder is 737gb and while loading the studio or game it takes a few good minutes but loading anything else is fast, i.e characters.

On a HDD btw.
