Gameplay

Modding

MODs is short for "modifications", with them you can introduce new features to the game such as new functions, parameters, clothes, and hairstyles.

If you have installed a mod, never use the official cards uploader thereafter. Access will be prohibited, and the official uploader will not be available.

Please understand that modifying your game is risky by nature and requires some safeguards such as backing up the game data. Also always read carefully what each thing does before using it.

If you are coming from Honey Select 1

The modding structure is pretty different in Honey Select 2 since it uses the softmod method, differently from Honey Select 1 which used the HardMod method. Please read the Terminology below to understand what is happening.

In short: Never touch games folder such as abdata. Now we have a better modding system that does not mess with abdata and does not make id conflicts at all, making HSResolveMoreSlotID obsolete. Also never extract .zipmod files, read below for more instructions.

Terminology

  1. Vanilla
    • It's a game without introducing any MOD. It’s like an ice cream (game) without toppings (MODs)
  2. HardMod
    • This method of modding overwrites game files, which was the main method used in Honey Select 1 but is not used anymore in Honey Select 2. This approach is likely to introduce errors and if any mod breaks your game it’s hard to seek the problem and its more likely that you'll need to reinstall everything again. It also leads to ID conflicts making harder assets management.
  3. Softmod
    • This method introduces new features to the game without any modifications to the game files. With this method Mods are installed in different files and folders from the original game, making it easy to troubleshoot and manage mods overall. This is the method used in Honey Select 2.
  4. Plugin
    • Plugins modify the game code and behavior, proceed with caution when installing them. Luckily in Honey Select 2, the plugins are also softmoded, so it’s easy to troubleshoot if something goes wrong. In Honey Select 2 they are installed in BepInEx\Plugins folder
  5. Zipmod
    • Mainly used to add clothes, items, and maps to the game, a file with extension .zipmod it’s a .zip file packed without compression. It’s a softmod that contains a folder structure that imitates the game's original folders, but without in fact changing them. Zipmods are made in a way that never needs to be extracted, you just need to copy the .zipmod file to the mods folder and the modded game will automatically recognize it in the next launch. In Honey Select 2 they are installed in mods\MyMods folder
  6. Sideloader
    • Sideloader is the plugin used by the modded game to load .zipmod files. It comes with the Base Mods listed below.
  7. Sideloader Modpack
    • Sideloader Modpack is a package with hundreds of assets made in .zipmod format. This package is made and maintained by the community and contains mods that are open to distribution. In a modded Honey Select 2 there are several "Sideloader Modpack" subfolders in the "mods" folder which are managed with the update tool. Note that when you update the Sideloader Modpack all mods that are different from the community list are excluded, so don’t put your own mods in Sideloader Modpack folders.

Installing mods and plugins

  • Zipmods files have .zipmod extension and must be copied to "mods\MyMods" folder. If the folder doesn't exist, create it. They are mainly used to add clothes, items, and maps to the game. NEVER EXTRACT A ZIPMOD!
  • Plugins have .dll extension and must be placed in "BepInEx\Plugins" folder. Some good hearted developers put the right folder inside their packages, so if a plugin file has BepInEx folder you just need to extract it to the game's main folder.

A quick guide to zipmods

Zipmods are an easy way to add assets like clothes, items, and maps to the game without generating ID conflicts and messing around with the game structure.

In order to you game reads .zipmod files you need to have a properly modded game such as BetterRepack, HF Patch, or your own self managed modded game with sideloader.

To install a .zipmod file you need just to put the file in "mods\MyMods" folder. DO NOT EXTRACT!

Some zipmods must have a HS2-specific version like Roy12 ones, others you can try to port from AI-Girl with this workaround, but do it at your own risk:

Open the .zipmod file with 7-zip, right click on manifest.xml and select Edit, remove the line <game>AI Girl</game>, save and close notepad, and select OK to update the file

HF Patch: The easiest way to install mods

By far the easiest way to install mods in a vanilla game is by using HF Patch. This package includes all free illusion DLCs, the base mods, and essential plugins. Also, the extra plugins are cautiously selected to not generate any conflicts.

HF Pacth also comes with Sideloader Modpack, including over 500 .zipmod assets such as clothes, accessories, and items. It’s The ideal package if you intend to open character cards from Illusion Booru, Kenzato or yuki-portal.

  • Note: Do not Install HF Path if you use any kind of Repack.

To install HF Patch, follow this page and read carefully the "Readme, help and download" link: https://github.com/ManlyMarco/HS2-HF_Patch/releases/ . You can also copy the magnet link and paste it on your torrent client, such as qBittorrent.

Updating a modded game

If you are using some kind of pack like HF-Patch or BetterRepack there are 2 types of updates: Sideloader Modpack and Game Version.

  • Sideloader Modpack: Updates only sideloader zipmods, such as clothes, items, and maps. It's like updating the apps on your smartphone. Usually, it's a button in "initsettings.exe", it will open a window called "KKManager StandaloneUpdater", where you can select what to update. It's part of the KKManager utility, read more in Utilities.
  • Game Version: Updates plugins and the game itself. Its like updating iOS or Android version. You need to do it manually. Usually is recommended to download the new version, install it in a new folder, and then transfer your old data (like save and cards) to the new folder.

Transferring your old data to a new install

  • To transfer your old data from an old installation to a new one you need to copy the sub folders "chara", "coordinate", "studio", and "save" from the old "UserData" folder to the new one.

Advanced way to install mods

If you want to install each mod one by one, you must first install the base mods. Without them, your modded game will not even launch. Its highly recommended to also install the essential mods since several other plugins and .zipmods rely on them to work.
