I was considering giving COM3D2.5 a try, KCES and all.. despite the warnings. I like some of its features, like the breast features but mainly the quality of life. I have over 600GB of free space and extreme patience, I can back up if needed. Can't mess up too much.. Well, no. I looked into it. Some of this has been already stated but I did this for my own sake to discourage myself from wasting my time, for those who are considering it, be aware it means all this (and maybe more).
- The body used in the new Kiss Character Edit System (newer version of CR Edit) is called High Poly Body. Only the default three maids + newly created maids can use High Poly Body. Extra Maids / NPCs cannot use this body.
- A handful of H-Events cannot be played (~35) due to various reasons; they include reasons such as the High Poly Body straight up not supporting positions or the scene containing maids that mix normal and high poly bodies (they only work if they all have the same body), or scenes containing maids wearing clothing for the normal body.
- Same thing applies for a handful of Yotogi skills, specifically Harem and Yuri. They only work if all maids use the same body type, no mixing.
- The following additional facilities introduced after COM3D2 base game as DLC or w/e are not compatible with the High Poly Body, therefore you cannot assign maids with this body to these facilities: Sea Cafe, Pool, Shrine, Pole Dance Stage, Ski Resort, Adventurer's Tavern and Spring Park.
- Costumes/clothing mods for the Normal Body (COM3D2 Body) are not compatible with High Poly Body, which means you realistically can't use the entirety of the R4.7 modpack, and pretty can't use many mods at all unless it's for HPB. This also means pain for a lot of DLC too I believe, unless it's X0 and up and specifically for 2.5.
- Some of the new features on KCES will not work or perfectly work with hairstyles from COM3D2, due to having different edit parts.
- As said, plugin support will be limited. You will miss out on a bunch of plugins, such as MTAccelerator, XTMasterSlave, VibeYourMaid, SmoothAnimation, etc. See CMI.
- No uncensor for the male body, or straight up for both? I'm not sure.
- Who knows what else
So yeah, not too sure about this. I'll just get the full 2.x.x experience going again with Ultimate 2022 version.
