Customize Val's Name & Relation To Main Char.

Easily modify game files to fit your preferences. Dislike cheating with your brother's wife? Ok you're banging your psychiatrist. Or The Mayor. Or keep the infidelity and you're banging your mom. No kinkshame here.

What You're Looking For

So easy a Simon could do it!

Most character names are hard-coded, but if you've got an issue with banging your brothers wife, want to change the names/terms for Val, or majorly alter her connection to the main character... welp, you're in luck!

I think there are some occasions where characters still refer to Val by name, however changing her relationship to Brad works perfectly and you can minimize other naming errors by focusing on a last name/title change. [IE, Professor Puzzypants]

The bullet points should be clear enough if you've done this sort of thing before.

• 1) Open Game Location & Proceed To "www" Folder
  
  
• 2) Back Up "names.txt" (If You Want.)
  
  
• 3) Change whatever terms refer to Val in "names.txt", Save, & Play

You'll also find a backup of the game's default names and example templates.
Also check the Potent Notables section. Maybe just the tip?

Detailed Instructions

1) Open Game Location & Proceed To "www" Folder

If you don't know where your game directory is saved, just right click on the game in your Steam library and click "BROWSE LOCAL FILES" to open the game directory.
Then go to the folder titled "www" and you'll find a text filed called "names.txt"

2) Back Up "names.txt" (If You Want.)

Right click copy. Right click paste. Mine is still called "names - Copy.txt" and stored in the exact same place, because why the ♥♥♥♥ not.
But if you don't, you can always re-validate the files, or copy/paste the original naming template I've listed elsewhere in the guide to restore things.

3) Change Them Names & Play

Seriously. That's it. In file labelled "names.txt" file, just replace the Val connections with whatever ones you want instead, and make sure to save.

Name Changing Guidance

So this is the default name scheme:

Simon, Val's, Val ,Brother's Wife,Husband's Brother,Older Brother,My Brother,Bro's Wife, Val.,Valerie,Valerie, Val?,Bancroft,Mendel,Denny,Katherine,Sister,President,Teacher,Nun,Priest,Parker,Father,Catholic,Church,Library,Andy,Amanda,ESU,SDU,Hurricane,School,Brad,Bradley,Buddie,Channel 4,News,

After Simon, all the relevant terms are in order...

Val's, Val ,Brother's Wife,Husband's Brother,Older Brother,My Brother,Bro's Wife, Val.,Valerie,Valerie, Val?,

...until stopping at Bancraft.

Spacing does matter, so keep consistent with what's listed.
And even though it looks like you should be able to change other names, you can't.

To really change up character dynamics, you have to get a little creative here...

Keep in mind the game always includes these concepts:
You still live with [My Brother] and [My Bro's Wife]
Val will worry about your [Older Brother]
She thinks of you as her [Husband's Brother]
I *think* her marriage is only mentioned in terms of "I'm your [Brother's Wife]"

Though this lets you change the taboo dynamic where you change [Brother's Wife] to [Older Sister] or [English Teacher] or [Nanny] or [Parole Officer] or [Divine Manifestation of The Virgin Mary]

There might be other marriage examples hard-coded, but generally if you get really creative you can make bigger changes still with her saying she's married to [My Work With Special Needs Kids]

NOTE: If you use "Val" as part of the name then other issues arise.
For example changing "Val" to "Aunt Val" ends up displaying "Aunt Aunt Val" for whatever reason, so you'll want to make the name Val. Aunt V. or Aunt., or whatever.

Default Name Backup

This is the same as the default listed above, but linked a quick reference here in case you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up or wanna revert. [using the in-game revert has screwed me up before where I couldn't change any names after that until I deleted and reinstalled]

Simon, Val's, Val ,Brother's Wife,Husband's Brother,Older Brother,My Brother,Bro's Wife, Val.,Valerie,Valerie, Val?,Bancroft,Mendel,Denny,Katherine,Sister,President,Teacher,Nun,Priest,Parker,Father,Catholic,Church,Library,Andy,Amanda,ESU,SDU,Hurricane,School,Brad,Bradley,Buddie,Channel 4,News,

Just copy/paste into the names.txt document and you're back to normal.

Easy Template Examples

For quick example, if you wanted to add the ever-popular incest kink then you'd just copy/paste the following into "names.txt" from the "www" folder.

Simon, Mom's, Mom ,Mother,Son,Dad,my Dad,Mother, Mom.,my Mom,your Mom, Mom?,Bancroft,Mendel,Denny,Katherine,Sister,President,Teacher,Nun,Priest,Parker,Father,Catholic,Church,Library,Andy,Amanda,ESU,SDU,Hurricane,School,Brad,Bradley,Buddie,Channel 4,News,

If changing, remember what I said above about defined names.
If you change Val to Aunt, Mom, Older Sister, or Queen Khaleesi = you're good
If you change Val to Aunt Val = you get "Aunt Aunt Val"


For another random template, here Val is your psychiatrist named Dr Bloom, and you happen to live with your psychiatrist and her dog. For uh, reasons?

Simon, Dr Bloom's, Dr Bloom,psychiatrist,patient,her dog,my psychiatrist's dog,Dr Bloom, Dr Bloom.,my psychiatrist,your psychiatrist,Doctor?,Bancroft,Mendel,Denny,Katherine,Sister,President,Teacher,Nun,Priest,Parker,Father,Catholic,Church,Library,Andy,Amanda,ESU,SDU,Hurricane,School,Brad,Bradley,Buddie,Channel 4,News,

Or instead of "my psychiatrist," she's...
My Mechanic
My Dog's Trainer
My Slave Trader
My Social Worker
My Self From The Future

And it's all her patients/slaves/dog who she's worried about.

I don't know, you figure it out. It's easier to just plug the terms in and figure out the errors as you go.

Potent Noteables

You DON'T need to start a new game. Or even reload actually.
Changes are immediate. You can even keep the text file open to adjust as you play (this is super helpful to make sure all your mad-libs are consistent) then save to see results on your next click as you go.

[This never caused any issues for me. However if this ♥♥♥♥♥ up your game/save in any way, then I take full responsibility and... hahaha, nah. If that happens, well, sucks to be you I guess?]

There's a modification warning (to ignore)
The game alerts you the naming files have been changed and asks if you want to revert them back.... just ignore this and eventually it'll stop asking (aside from a reminder when you save)


If trying to figure out even more specific contexts for various names, add easy variables.
Might be obvious, but for the many Val variations and finding whichever contexts to change, you can do simple changes of "ValX" "ValY" "ValZ" to track where they're used and what the ideal replacement would be.

@Crone, Unfortunately there's no easy way to change Brad's name or several of the other names as the lines in the code just contain the name outright instead of having a variable that then refers to the name file where it can easily be changed.

For example, if it were to say "[Val] thinks of Brad as her [Husband's Brother]", you could change the "[Val]" and the "[Husband's Brother]" terms, but not the "Brad".

It *should* be possible to go in and change every mention of Brad to your preference or even to a variable [Brad] so that the 'name' file would work on it. But it would require you to manually go through the entire script and change the hundreds or thousands of lines of code containing references to Brad instead of changing a variable once like this mod allows.

If you or anyone else wants to put that effort in, please post it.

[Crone]

Is threre a way to change Brad's name? I tried replacing Brad and Bradly, but no luck :(

[Biglira]

Could someone help me find 'Dig for Kamasutra page at flower cross - Valerie: Tit Fuck (5). I've been looking for this page for days without success, I used this player's guide Kilroy's .more precisely this page does not contain the photo in his guide.
I thank you in advance for your willingness to help me.

[Mr. Meeseecks]

I was able to change relations from "brother's wife" to "brother's mom."

Moral conflict avoided. Thank you so much!

[EloyOn]

Thanks for this guide. I just used the patch that restores the real "family relation with Val" available on f95zone, but it had some misspeling and sometimes Val refers to Brad as "Father" xDDD

[Brabo]

Yeah I tried it too but no luck.Thanks for the reply.

[ReptilianWorldOrder]

Unfortunately not. I've messed around with other names/terms on the list a lot, but never caught any results.

Even though there's not much voicing (as mostly for expressions/flavor rather than dialog), those recorded lines do mention characters by name. My guess is they ended up hard-coded into the game at some point despite still looking changeable.

[Brabo]

Is there also a way to change the names of the other babes?Like Bancroft,Amber and Katherine.

[Eva Unit Rico]

Thank you SO MUCH! This is a fantastic mod, and it worked wonderfully.

[ReptilianWorldOrder]

If anyone wants to add their own custom name scheme or any quick templates for turning Val into [whoever], please do feel welcome to share.

Just post the full name list for easy copy/paste, create a title/description if you'd like, and I'll go ahead and add it to the guide's list of templates and credit you too (unless you'd prefer not).
