For new players want to know about patch, 18+, uncensored, VR etc.

[Jacklyn]

For those players who haven't played Illusion games before you need to know the followings:

1. You can download patch from official Illusion website for 18+ content and VR mode. But it is still censored.
2. You can download HF Patch or Better Repack for free to get the uncensored version.
3. There are tons of addons and mods for you to customise the characters and if you like that you will spend a lot of time to play this game.
4. Yes this game is expensive but I consider that this is the best porn games you can find in steam provided that you patch it with HF patch.
5. I recommend to use HF patch instead of Better Repack because you can have a lot of options to choose. Before that you need to read about the details in GitHub or Patreon.
6. There is a studio in the patched version so you can make your own animation with tons of addons.

Verdict: As a steam version vanilla game, it is overpriced. However, it is absolutely worth the price if you install HF patch which you can download for free to play with mods, plugins and studio.

btw HF Patch was not updated for the Steam Version yet it will just crash the game if you install it

The Better Repack version for the steam version of HS2 Libido DX is Release SB1. Make sure you download the right version.
The HF patch is not ready yet and I am still waiting for it.

i downloaded the SB Steam patch on mega and then placed them in the C Local file, still no uncensored.

Did you install it though? This is not one of those games where the patch is just a file that you have to put in a place and that's all, you have to install the exe file, be aware that sometimes Windows 8 and Windows 10 (and probably 11) deletes the exe file when you download it because it thinks it is a virus.

Again, Windows will not tell you or ask you before doing it so you need to keep an eye on it, I know because it did it to me yesterday and I had to download it twice.

Better Repack work and do uncensored, but i do question how better repack got it done so fast within game came out, thought. If it because older version, I wonder it's mess up gameplay or bug.

There are apparently problems with the VR buttons. Apart from that it seems to work fine so far.

Rather than uncensoring the steam version, it turns the steam version into the Japanese version and applies the uncensoring to that just like they've been doing with the Japanese version for a while. So, assuming that that was done correctly, it should be the same as using the Japanese version with the uncensoring applied. There are apparently issues with any characters created with the steam version before converting it due to something the steam version does differently, but in theory, it should work just like the Japanese version does. However, it's certainly possible that there are bugs in the conversion process that will be found later.

The only difference with the Japanese version AFAIK is that it keeps the official translation in place, but the guy doing the better repack is actually taking the official translation and replacing the fan translation that they've been using with the official one. So, going forward, running better repack on the steam version should result in the same thing as running it on the Japanese version.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that the HF Patch will be applying the uncensoring and other included mods to the steam version without converting it wholesale into the Japanese version (though we'll have to wait for the steam version of the patch to see exactly what we'll be getting). Either way, the approach that the repack guy took would be faster to figure out, because it would largely be a matter of diffing the two versions then applying the diffs to the steam version, and that would largely be an automated process.

Just checked and this is correct, in fact I just noticed it includes StudioNeo as well, so it technically should be compatible with any mods now.

I wonder if, since the Skull and bones version is rather lite, if installing the HF patch to a BR Steam version will cause the incompatibilities it usually does.

First game didn't have it, does this have orgy option?

Only threesomes like the first game, but more limited since MMF options are removed. Only Illusion game I know with orgies is HaremMate.

[Erenussocrates]

The first game had it? I didn't know. I had found no way to do that. Wish illusion did more of that stuff.

Yes, in Honey Select 1 you could select 2 girls in the lobby, go to Special and you had a (very limited) ammount of positions, you could also have the girls do lesbian, and, if you selected another male character, you could have male male female threesomes too.

Here you can only select one guy, and threesomes trigger when you find two girls by walking around the hotel and I think you can unlock them with some girls for when you just call them to the lobby. It works similarly to how they work in Koikatsu but they don't run away if they feel embarassed so it is a little simpler.

is there a difference between the HF patch and whats included in the betterrepack skull & bones patch ? i have the skull & bones installed and everything is uncensored and text in english plus it included the studio. i see people talking about the HF patch like it is something different or adds something else, is that correct ?
