Talk:Life Hacks/Send the girls off ahead of you, use the duck to find a way out of this mess
What does the rape shield package include that gets the points so high? --Notsooldpervert (talk) 07:24, 25 January 2018 (CET)
It also has incest pass (500), PDA pass (500), age pass 1 and 2 (1500 total) and "above the law" (2000) in addition to the 1000 for rape shield. Basically, all the things to prevent you from actually getting in trouble if you take any given girl at the park over age 2, including Roni or Charity, and rape her right in front of everybody. In other words, it lets you do for rape what "getting away with murder" does for both rape and murder, which actually makes it a bit of a bargain if you don't want to have to get away with murdering someone and you only want the rape side of it.

I just updated those cheats as well as the crime pays cheats to be purchased by area, but also halved their standard price while I was at it. 1/2 X 3 = 1.5, so the prices for that set of cheats and the crime pays cheat got boosted up by 50%. Jemini (talk) 14:55, 25 January 2018 (CET)
I love the options on this page. There's quite a bit to play with. Adding Rape Fantasyland might be an option instead of the forgiveness cheats. Also If I remember correctly Rapeshield doesn't prevent the girl from hating you for raping her, it just makes it socially ok to do so. Xander sort of seems like he would want Charity to act friendly towards him, or at least not hostile. Maybe an option that is like the Rapeshield with all the passes but swap Rape Fantasyland instead. Quiller (talk) 16:29, 25 January 2018 (CET)
I was actually planning to have rape fantasyland as a follow-up option for that leg of it. Basically, with any of the options on the lower section, he's full of irritation since he's realized what really made him snap and teetering on going either way. If you follow up by adding in something the likes of "rape fantasyland" then it means he managed to come back from the brink, whereas if you leave it like that it means the dark side has won over for the time being. I wanted there to be at least some route to explore his darker side just a bit, even if it's just an implied path that never actually gets written. Jemini (talk) 17:54, 25 January 2018 (CET)
Sounds good. I look forward to both. Quiller (talk) 18:01, 25 January 2018 (CET)
Wow! You don't think that makes those cheats cost prohibitive? He's highly likely to stray outside any region he's able to purchase. I assume this is a way to offset his rapid accumulation of points? Remember, he doesn't get the 1st time bonuses again so that type of climb is unlikely to continue. --Notsooldpervert (talk) 20:18, 25 January 2018 (CET)
Actually, if anything, this is a drop in price. Remember, Xander has the life hack, meaning he can change the area focused on by the cheat. Also, the only reason it's a 50% price increase is because he's trying to do it outdoors in a common meeting area like the park, a venue that he only has the points for due to how insanely many points he scored for raping Charity in front of Roni with Roni none the wiser. At any rate, Xander doesn't actually spend that much time in such venues with his exploits. Most of the story so far is between the Holiday house and the Wells house. Remember, the price for a singe family or household is 1/2 price, and the prices have already been dropped by half as well. This means you actually get a 75% discount on most routes whereas this is about the only route in the game so far where it would be a cost increase and he has plenty of points to afford it on this route.

I didn't realize that if bought for a specific area, that it could be changed like that. Why not just make it a radius around himself then? --Notsooldpervert (talk) 04:35, 26 January 2018 (CET)
That would make sense for certain cheats but not others, such as the one making other lifies not compete sexually (will not have sex with each other but will have sex with you,) and cheats bought for lifies such as complication free pregnancy. While the majority will work at a radius around "the purchaser," it is just easier to blanket make all of them operate by the same rules. However, there could be an "area around purchaser" option added to the area option cheats. I will probably make that one X2 since that would bring those ones back to their original price and they were meant to operate like that originally when I had them at the X2 price.
