Well, that is the issue. The mixed ideology behind this game. It was pushed as being "free". But people took advantage of that loophole and sold pictures, videos, etc based off this game. When those that are "modding" the game, brought this issue to the "devs" (or leader), they were push to the side and told to shut up. So what did those people do? The either stopped modding, deleted there work, or just moved on to a secretive site made by a couple of disgruntled modders.

Personally, I do not think it was fair for people to make money off other people work and they never repayed back the community.

Its not hard to mod but greed will always get people to think different.

At one point you would see it. But like I mentioned, once content creators left, it dried out. They either went to blender renders, daz, honey select, VaM, etc. That said, I think it is possible to have a balance and see this game climb back up there but as mentioned, greed will always change a persons way of thinking.

true, and this is the nature of internet, the same can also apply to other games or media, like skyrim for example.

any game with a modding community will eventually has to walk on this painful path, even in the best scenerio, when they actively seek out the modders and ask for their permission or actually paying them, it will still came down to: "what's the exact standard and concessions?“

like, how much are they making off of these modder's work, what methods are they monetizing it (completely free and patreon/donation, or all behind a paywall), to what degree are they modifying the modder's mod (which itself was also a modifying to the original stuff), etc.

when deciding if it's acceptable i guess it's really if they can reach an agreement or not, so it can be really situational.

but nope, the most popular one i could think of was "my new life", and that's about it.

most of the stuff i've seen are clips/GIFs/videos/comics, but not a lot games using these.

guess TK17 is just too difficult to mod and get it right, compare to something like honey select, which has been very abundantly used in various games.

not that it was expensive in the first place, but H5 extended now only needs 1 dollar on his patreon, so definitely go give it a look

Hey! Let me try to help you!

You have a game with H5 Basics. To increase ghraphics level you need to install a few things.

1. Body4XMod by @MrOllyK on this site: 

Or you can use my version of this (I take 4X textures from TK4R Repack (7.5.1.5) and adapted it for VX https://mega.nz/file/xiwTCIpJ#99orGWuiM7jL6-OvZ4CI3QL7QnnmS8Vssfx1-W79zNs

This unpzck it and place to Addons folder

This addon contain 4X textures of eyelashes, brows, makeup, tears and other face and body details.

2. 4x Resolution ActiveMod Stockings

There are two texture packs by @MrOllyK

 

 

Unpack both packs and place folders to your ActiveMod

3. SKINS with 4X resolution

There are many 4X skins: https://mega.nz/folder/wYVXVQqR#ph5zmE_qzFilpR4LY_EV5Q

I use this Skins for body https://mega.nz/file/Ez4HVKjQ#y-ywLB8IgsuMq9Ht_pLALjcqgyRPAIQm2kF-2L6Kbm0

Unpack skin and place it to Mod/ActiveMod folder

ATTENTION! Name of each diffuse map and _pass files of skin must have a prefix "mod_"

After launch the game customize your model: in Skin menu choose 4X Skin/Face and reload the room or press Alt+R

4. Hairs with Hook 5 maps

Thare are many Addons and H5 Textures of Hairs https://mega.nz/folder/IJNkCBDR#RfvjfaM2hBbtW9Koqp7r8A

Unpack it and place addons to Addons folder, texture and H5 files to Mod/ActiveMod folder

5. Eyes for VX with H5 files

I use this Eyes in VX https://mega.nz/file/02Bh3IQb#QAUKvCVv8TE0N4ZwlbqIklrSjVU_JCAYS5OAYUF93vg

Unpack it and place to Mod/ActiveMod folder

6. Cum textures for VX with H5 files

I use this textures https://mega.nz/file/xjoBDIxQ#lWSAZ0kk6WUFCTQ5P7H1KRJjV9AI50JG94y8MELrIxc

Unpack it and place to Mod/ActiveMod folder

7. H5 Rooms 

There are many base room retextures or custom rooms with H5 files on this site.

You must remember, that H5 room folder should contain diffuse textures, normal maps, specular maps and _pass files (with paths to norm and spec maps).

For placing Hook 5 Objetcs and working lighting in the H5 room, room folder must have a level_definition file, else lighting will be like on your screenshot.

Place H5 Room folder to Mod/ActiveMod folder

8. H5 Clothes

Same as H5 Rooms

=============================================================================================================

VERY IMPORTANT!!!

After installing all mods for H5 in game folder, launch TK17_OptionsMan.exe in Binaries folder and make sure that 4Gb patch is enabled, then press Go! button.

If you add or delete any addon in Addons folder or any files in ActiveMod folder, launch TK17_OptionsMan.exe in Binaries folder and make sure that 4Gb patch is enabled, then press Go! button.

 

this is the kind of good work that needs to be spreaded for new comers to learn modding stuff 

tons, F95 is usually the go-to place for finding all these stuff, tho mostly unfinished and half-arsed

feeling ya man, imagine wake up one day and had a sudden urge of going back to MG for more TK17 stuff, only to find it went down and replaced by a AD provider. how much of a fuckery even lead to this is baffling.
