Greetings, one and all!

SimFem Suite v1.02 is now available to download. I've got a brand-new character selection interface to unveil, which I think everyone is going to enjoy, plus a few other misc. changes as well.

So, check out the changelog below, and find the ZIP installer at the bottom. Have fun!

Changelog v1.02

Feature Update: Select Characters from a New Visual Menu. The previous dropdown menu that allowed you to select characters by name alone is now gone. It’s been replaced by a launcher button that brings up a new visual interface for selecting characters by character cards. Each character card will display their portrait image with their name below it. If no portrait image is assigned or the portrait is disabled, then a simple color card will be shown in its place with the character’s first two initials displayed in center.

New Feature: Favoriting Characters. A new checkbutton is now available when creating or editing a character which allows you to set that character as a “favorite”. Once set as a favorite, that character will be displayed at the top of the new visual character selector window. Their character card in this interface will also display an outlined heart in the upper corner.

Implemented measure to help future-proof stability of character memories database. Put code in place that will help future-proof the long-term stability of the vector store backend being used by the memory storage layer (ChromaDB under Mem0). The result should be long-term stability for both storing and indexing character memories at up to 50,000+ stored memories.

Implemented more graceful error handling if user is not online when initial set-up runs. Now, a more clear error message pops up, saying the required AI models could not be downloaded, and asks the user to check their internet connection. After closing the pop-up, the application cleanly shuts down. (An internet connection is required only for initial setup.)
