The new version requires at least .NET 8.0. You can download it from Microsoft.
(The Desktop Runtime is enough, you don't need the SDK)

The old version used the .NET Framework 4.8, which was automatically installed with Windows.

The new version allows us to write cleaner and more efficient code and is also the first step towards making the game officially cross-platform. I aim to have an official Linux version by the end of the year. (Also for selfish reasons, since I'll rather switch to Linux than to Windows 11 when the support for Windows 10 ends.)
In the interim, do you know of a way to get the most recent version running on linux with wine? Installed 9.0 .net both through wine with commands as well as through winetricks and the game still yells at me to install "microsoft.NETcore.app version 8.0.0"

Really like this game and honestly havent been able to find anything close to it. Is there any and I'm just missing them?
IMO the most similar experience you will find is the continuation of Lab Rats: 2. You play as a start-up business owner making mind control serums. Hire and seduce/corrupt your employees, family, and friends. Highly recommended. My only negative for the game is that it isn't finished.

just wanted to comment that no matter how i followed the instructions to get the AI generation for the free cities pregmod i could never get it to work. did the feature in that game even actually work?
It worked for me. Ideally you'd want a moderately powerful GPU as well so the portraits generate in a short enough time.

I believe the difficulty might be in accounting for all hardware configurations. Maybe the implementation could be improved in general as well but it's a hobby project for a few people.

But this was an edge case example, there are many AI image tools that could be added to a game much more easily.

Fun game. Although I wish we didn't have to play as a principle. I'd prefer either a student, parent, or a random citizen of the town. Then this could be like a life simulator of sorts.

I wish the moderator wouldn't have updated the main thread yet. We are still in the stabilizing phase and every 2-4 days comes another hotfix. Now people will grab the buggy releases from here unless we take care of constantly updating the main post (and I am not going to seed the release to other hosters every few days).

I think I will just add a remark to the OP to check the official release thread for updates first.

Not saying none of the padding can't be removed, but rather tell us what is being padded and we can try to adjust if we agree(since I'm not the only one working on this I can't just say 'yes it will be fixed'), a lot of these events have had at best one or two touch-ups since they were added, and could simply be a reflection of when less content existed.
For example: the detective needs a full week to do an investigation and you have to do those investigations on multiple characters. Would it ruin the game if he could get the job done in a couple of days?

It's not strictly a hard limit. There is a native event called "GameOverCheck.ve.xml" that runs on every passing minute in the game and checks if the conditions for a game over are met. That includes the end-date. So one could edit that event to prevent the game from ending after 2.5 years. We can't guarantee the stability or plausibility in those cases, though, since the game wasn't designed with it in mind.
could you please share how to change it to extend it? which line I am suppose to change? thanks

Quickly looked up the typical range and we're firmly in the middle of either a day or two to a week in terms of IRL Private detective's length of time needed. With the number of teachers, we probably could look and see which ones would need longer or shorter in real life and modify them, but I don't see it being completely removed. Simply because while it is a porn game, there is a strive to have a balance.

I ran into this bug not sure what caused it
FunctionLibrary\GenSexHandling\SetEffectsOnObservers [TRY] caused an exception at operation SeqAct_PersonLocation (ID: 492).
called by Location\School\Swimming Pool\SwimmingTease at SeqActLat_RemoteEvent (ID: 412)
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Anyone know how to fix it?

If you open it in the Event Debug menu of your active game, there should be a connection in there somewhere that leads to a big fat "Game Over" operation. Just remove the connection. Or just delete everything in the event, so it does nothing.

You can also call her. Useful when you wouldn't make it to the school in time to the deadline to get it scheduled the following day.
In the debug menu, under global variables, cheats section, check the box for 'FastPTAscheduler'. Enables scheduling PTA meetings for the same day.

She shows up once you build the Biology Lab, her and the future Chem teacher (WIP) are locked behind it as once they subject update occurs/is finished, they're basically meant to be specialists for their respective classes (not limited to only them but will start off better than the rest).
