House Party v1.3.2.12199 by ALL DLCS

House Party Stable Release 0.18.2 is live!
We’ve ironed out a bunch of bugs and added a lot of polish in this update. We hope you all enjoy the extra smooth gameplay experience!
Two of the biggest changes we introduced are Brittney and Katherine’s outfit reworks. Brittney has an updated patriotic bathing suit, a cute new top for Date Night With Brittney, and her regular in-game shirt has also been reworked with a sexy new look! Katherine’s outfit rework includes a black tee, red skirt, choker, and fishnets! If you haven’t checked out any of the social media screenshots we’ve shared of those two yet, go take a look at them in-game and let us know what you think!
In addition to the usual load of bug fixes, this update also brings some great visual/UI changes such as a brand new radial menu for player choices. Now, when you click on an NPC in the game, it’ll have a new look when selecting your interactions. We also reworked and updated intimacy rewards for several characters, updated the House Party loading screen, and improved our save and load system.
The changes included with this release greatly improve the look, feel, and quality of life of House Party. We’ll catch up on unvoiced lines and translations in our next content update sometime soon after the new year.
There is so much more exciting stuff we’re working on that we can’t wait to share with all of you. For now, enjoy the polish release, check out the hot new Brittney and Katherine outfits, enjoy those new repeatable intimacy rewards, and get hyped for our upcoming updates!
Reminder Note: Though we try our best to preserve them, sometimes it’s inevitable that we have to make changes to the save system, so old saves are not compatible with this update
Thanks!

• In the Original Story: aesthetic improvements to Patrick’s little jump to retrieve his briefcase near the end of “Patty’s Striking Resemblance”
• In the Original Story: there is now a short window of a couple minutes after the “Derek Smash!” fight ends during which Leah will not magically sense that the alcohol in the liquor cabinet might be in danger when the Player Takes it into their inventory, and come waltzing over to guard it.

• In the Original Story: fixed an issue that would allow Players to exploit around Frank’s social mechanic after sneaking a booze item(s) from his liquor cabinet

In other words, you don’t need that extra ‘0’ in 99% of cases unless you or the game engine has been fucking with Default Clothing Sets
• Fixed an issue that could cause Characters to consider another Character target “reached” even if they were on uneven ground on the stairs, with the stair bannister between them, etc. This should help mitigate crowd control issues on or around the stairs

• Fixed the positioning and component values for a movement and navigation blocker inside the garage, to the left of the door, that was a bit oversized and clipped into the kitchen.

• In the Original Story: fixed an issue that would cause Frank to warn the Player about taking booze from his cabinet, and Leah to come check on the safety of Frank’s liquor cabinet, even if the Player was given a “booze pass” by Frank
• In the Original Story: it should be much harder for Patrick and Rachael to start their argument that starts “Patty’s Striking Resemblance” while Patrick is on/near the stairwell. That was just rude

• In the Original Story: minor cleanup of some Compubrah/VR-entry-related events
• In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause Katherine to prematurely walk away from a pending (repeatable) intimacy sequence
• In the Original Story: if the Player is in the master bedroom zone (includes Madison’s closet and bathroom) but not in sight of Katherine when she reaches the bed for a repeatable intimacy reward, she will go ahead and strip down to wait for the Player
• In the Original Story: fixed an issue that would temporarily prevent the Player from taking booze out of Frank’s cabinet if the Player first got Derek’s “Combat Perk” (where he can protect you from Frank), then pursued “Apply Pressure”/concussing Frank by locking the downstairs bathroom door and having him run into it, then tried to take said booze after Frank walked back to the Dining Room
• In the Original Story: Amy’s intimacy reward from completing “Chasing Amy” has been ‘modernized’ and can now make use of all available intimacy positions. This includes the ‘full’ and ‘partial’ rewards
• In the Original Story: pursuing Amy’s intimacy reward just before Madison’s “art show” for “The Muse” starts is now an option, but as expected that will prevent Amy from attending the art show
• In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause the Money Maker’s Monthly magazine to not properly trigger Patrick’s dialogue about the rainforest and environment such if he was KO’d

• In the Original Story: minor cleanup of aesthetic/emotive events before, during, and after Ashley’s intimacy rewards
• In the Original Story: there is now a short window of a couple minutes after the “Derek Smash!” fight ends during which Leah will not instinctively come to take over Frank’s guard duties if the liquor cabinet doors are opened; this was making capitalizing on the Frank-less outcome of “Derek Smash!” a bit too difficult
• In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause Leah to encounter some movement issues if she approached the Player to listen in on the Vickie conversation prior to starting “Screw Like a Bee”

• In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause the left Master Bedroom Closet Door to be openable before it should be during the finale of “Sibling Warfare”.

• In the Original Story: if the Player completes Amy’s “Scavenger Hunt” Opportunity and remains friendly enough with her, she will be just as supportive of the Player’s desire to be nude as the Player was of hers. I.e., she won’t use her snarky nudity reaction
• In the Original Story: handing the Goodbye Kitty underwear to Amy in front of Madison will result in Madison being…dissatisfied
• In the Original Story: fixed an issue where Patrick would immediately enable his Merlot in front of Leah…despite being prone to otherwise hide it in front of her
• In the Original Story: fixed an issue where Patrick could be betrayed by the Player for telling Frank to beat him up, when Patrick could not see the Player

• In the Original Story: miscellaneous cleanup of extraneous NPC actions during the Game Grumps’ painting thing
• In the Original Story: minor cleanup of Leah’s behaviors after her betrayal by Frank near the firepit that could cause awkward moments with a few other Characters
• In the Original Story: the healing food items have been buffed after a most unforgivable typo was discovered. They can now heal a maximum of 69 health, up from 68. Heavens to fucksy!
• In the Original Story: Vickie may indicate to the Player that he is a fucking weirdo for standing around in the hot tub
• In the Original Story: Patrick will now attempt to go find his Merlot if he dropped it during the Derek Smash! fight and this was the only fight he had been in during the playthrough
