i want adult games but i also want them better hidden

[LUEK79]

i would like to suggest, or say that i hope that in the future that steam has a better way to hide games, after hiding games they still show up right under library, under hidden and they still show up on steam vr home, if i have friends and family(like kids) over and i let them play the vr headset, it would help if i could hide games in a way that makes them a little less accessible maybe even just a folder space where you have to use a password to even see what is in the folder(including titles), i didn't get vr kanojo and dominatrix simulator off of my home screen in vr untill i uninstalled them. My real hope is that steam has an adult only sister/brother site in the future, that is as trustworthy and reliable as steam is that is less moderated. The password hidden games where titles are also hidden is a good idea too. having family friendly seperate from personal games, would be a great thing, even if you just want to hide rated M games from your kids.

You could create two accounts with different usernames and passwords. One for your adult games. One for your normal ones. Nobody would be able to see the adult ones then.

i may try that later down the road, i usually end up in hang ups these days like, an account is already linked to that email, that email is linked to that email that is already used, that phone number is already used(when i go to create a new email) , so on and so on .... havn't tried creating two accounts on steam, it is a good suggestion.



.If i could go back i would have tried the few games i did get from a different site, that would have probably been the best.

it would be a cool feature, though , be able to lock away games and their titles with a password, depending on who your letting on your computer.

even a E, M, 18+ rating tab to click on and off with a password. to hide all M and 18+ rated games in your own library.

You can have as many accounts as you want hanging off a single email. You can also use the same mobile authenticator and phone number for multiple accounts (but you will share VAC bans if you get any between both accounts).

Most games don't have ratings (in fact if you look at most of the Adult games they don't have a rating at all). Ratings cost money most smaller developers cannot afford them and they have limited value outside of retail stores (which won't stock unrated games).

Problem is though that normally steam will detect installed games and then show in your library because they are on that PC. So you may still run into instances where the names appear.

You could use two different Steam installs to cover that. Each has it's own libraryfolders.vdf and will only look there. You have the default install be your family friendly one and just shut that down and manually start the other when you want to enjoy your adult games.

It is a bit of effort, but doable. I think it would also if each was only logged into with the right account auto login to the correct account when you run the right Steam.exe but I've never tested that bit myself.

Install Main/1st account Steam on C: and install second on D:/E: or any other partition/drive. That way both Steam shortcuts can save login details and won't need to login and out every time OP wants to switch accounts.

Plus as OP doesn't want certain games available OP just needs to setup a different library folder used only for the second account.


I have 2 accounts.

Main, this one, install on C: with games on C: and D:
other Installed on E: with games on E:

Neither sees each others games. Other is also on a seperate windows user account. This is to prevent my young Nieces and Nephews messing around in of my system, accessing the internet and also to keep little kiddie games and all account associations seperate from my account. Sorry but I don't want recommendations for games they like.
