HF Patch for HS2 v1.2 (mods up to 2020/10/16)

An unofficial patch for HS2 that installs the latest fan-made English translations and essential mods. It also fixes many common issues with the game.

It will allow you to load all character cards and scenes and give you countless content creation and gameplay improvements while still keeping the original, uncluttered feel of the game. All content is tested and fixed (or removed) as needed before each update, providing a stable platform for further modding.

Honey Select 2 can be split into two parts: character and scene creation tools (character maker and Studio), and a simple "pick and play" game (it can use your custom characters, but not scenes).

HF Patch does not contain the full game, paid expansions or any other pirated content. You have to buy the game and expansions separately.

The base game (Honey Select 2), and by extension this patch are not suitable for minors. If you are under 18 years old you can not use this patch. The base game and this patch contain only characters of age 18 or higher. The creator of this patch is not responsible for creations of its users and prohibits any unlawful use of this software.

Downloads

This download contains the entire HF Patch and can be used offline. You have to use a torrent client to open the magnet link (qBittorrent is recommended, only use one link).

If you need any help, check the wiki, visit the Illusion Soft Discord server and ask in the #hs2-help channel, or ask in comments under this post. The #hs2-help channel is the fastest way to get help, you can even search it for your issue to see if someone already answered it. There are also chat and card sharing channels on the server!

To keep the download size reasonable, some of the less used mods are not included (mostly studio-only mods). To download them you can use the KKManager mod updater - run it at the end of HF Patch or from the game's launcher.

You can see the source code here and information about included plugins here.

Solutions to common issues

• If after installing the patch you have issues running the game, restart your PC and try to install the patch again with default settings.
• If after installing the patch Studio hangs when loading, start KKManager (it's in a folder in game directory) and click "Look for updates" at the top, then tell it to update the Studio modpack.
• If you have trouble downloading by using the magnet link, try updating your torrent client or use the latest qBittorrent (it's known to work well).
• Make sure you downloaded ALL parts to the same folder and that the parts all have the same name. You need ALL parts for the patch to work. If the installer asks you for another disc it means that your download was not extracted correctly and is missing files, or you renamed or removed some of the extracted files.
• If you see any messages about corrupted files you'll have to re-download the offending part (or all of the parts).  If you downloaded the torrent, most torrent clients can "force recheck" the downloaded files so you don't have to re-download the whole thing.
• If your antivirus is flagging the .exe file make sure that you've downloaded the patch by following links in this post. If you are sure the download came from the right place, it's most likely a false positive (it's a common issue with non-signed application installers).
