Greetings, one and all!

v1.01 of SimFem Suite is now available to the public! I want to extend a big thank you to everyone who participated in the beta. Your feedback and impressions have been invaluable. And now, everyone gets to check out the app!

Read the changelog below & find the installer in the ZIP file at the bottom. Enjoy!

Hotfix: v1.01b

Updated Sophia’s portrait art to a new “painterly” version. This was done to adhere to the A.I. content guidelines of various distribution platforms (i.e. to be more stylized and painterly, rather than photo-realistic).

Updated portrait art for all deluxe characters currently in Patreon shop. Same reason as above. Characters of Bethany and Charlie will return later, once I have new portraits prepped for them as well.

Added new <application_awareness> section to Sophia’s profile. She now has a more nuanced built-in awareness of the application she lives within, as well as her status as the de facto ambassador for that application.

v1.01b Upgrade Notes:

Only those upgrading from 1.01 to 1.01b may need to download the ‘Sophia_(a_soulful_companion).zip’ character folder. It’s for updating pre-existing instances of Sophia. Everyone else can just download the 1.01b installer.

If you wish to update an existing SimFem character to a new version, do the following:

Download the ZIP file containing the character’s data & art files. With SimFem Suite running, choose ‘Import Character’ and navigate to the download location of that character folder. Select the .json data file found inside.

The profile name (as seen in the character selection dropdown) of both characters must match to perform this upgrade, e.g. “Sophia (a soulful companion)”. When the import procedure detects this naming conflict, choose ‘Update Local Char>Update to New Version’. The portrait update will be optional, depending on the selections you make during the update process.

Changelog: v1.01

Minor UI tweaks (button size adjustments).

Updates to LICENSES folder contents.

Updates to README file packed in with exported characters.

Increased resolution size of sophia_default_portrait + added Patreon URL to bottom corner.

Added term definitions for ‘Transexual Woman’ and ‘Femboy / Femboi’ to the app’s internal knowledgebase, so that the AI will better understand the anatomy and gender presentation of any characters labeled in this manner.

Updated ‘Import Character’ function with new choices. Now, if the importing character has an identical profile name to an existing local character, the user can select ‘Update Local Char’ and find new choices for ‘Update to New Version’ or ‘Restore from Backup’. Each procedure handles updating the local character differently (as explained when these options are selected), but in short, the UPDATE procedure is intended for updating a character to a new version released on the storefront (while preserving local character memories, chat logs, and user bio), while the RESTORE procedure is for overwriting a character entirely to return them to a previously backed up state (i.e. from an exported copy).

Updated uninstaller script to properly remove all files & directories. Previous uninstaller script behavior was inadvertently leaving some files & directories behind, because it was only removing those items present at the time of installation. Items created by the app after it was installed were not being accounted for. User will now also see a confirmation pop-up before important items are deleted by the uninstaller, such as character profiles, portraits, and exported characters.

NOTE TO CLOSED BETA PARTICIPANTS: If you uninstalled SimFem v1.0 using the built-in installer, some files would be left behind. Find these under C:\Users\<user_profile>\SimFem if you wish to manually remove them (assuming you used the default install path).

Corrected issue that could cause an error when cancelling in-progress model downloads.
