Content

An unofficial patch for HoneySelect2 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.

Read the full HF Patch manual to learn more about what it is, what it does, how to use it, and how to solve common issues.

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

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 can use qBittorrent or a similar torrent client to open the magnet link. Old patch versions are available in direct download links.

Full patch (Everything is included, most people should use this)

Light patch (Smaller size, only use if you regularly update with KKManager or never download character cards)

Read before installing

  • If you want to install the DX update, do it before installing HF Patch (DX is already included in the Steam version).
  • Steam only: only Japanese and English localizations are fully supported at the moment, if you play in Chinese then translations will become worse after installing the patch.
  • Steam only: do not install special patch or update on Steam after installing HF Patch! The patch makes the game compatible with original jp updates (for studio and mod support) but that means it's no longer compatible with updates specific to the Steam version. If Steam auto updates the game, you will have to install HF Patch again to fix it.
  • 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 full readme and the source code here, and information about included plugins here.

Not gonna lie, This patch had a lot more in it then I thought! Great work Marco! The install went relatively smoothly after getting everything downloaded. I did have to deal with mediafire's nasty quirk of putting the files into a .zip file when you try and download everything at once. Solved this by downloading everything one by one so easy fix. but still a very easy install!

ManlyMarco

You can just extract the zip file mediafire creates to get the proper patch files.

Hello, I meet pb of hashs at the installation (source mediafire). Has anyone ever had this kind of problem? PS: recently I put all my content +18 in a veracrypt file. Do you think that may be the cause? I drop back again by storing on a standard HD and it works. What do you think ? Otherwise congratulations for the work provided :)

ManlyMarco

So it works fine in the end? Depending on how the encryption works it can mess with the verification process, yes.

The magnet link seems not to work. When I copy it, torrent cannot find it and also you cannot click on it. Could you please look if the link is correctly put in? :) And thank you for the patch, looks like allot of amazing work

Anonymous

Ok I solved it by using the qBittorrent, which you have mentioned in your Github release, instead of Utorrent. Thank you for all this work!

Anonymous

hi srry to bug you but ive been trying to get this mod running but it keeps saying that it cant not be located in the folder and pls insert the correct disc, nevermind figured it out <3

Anonymous

where do I put these files. I looked at the text instructions and video but I'm totally lost. I downloaded the steam version.

Anonymous

So I have done this before with Koikatsu on the Steam Deck. Runs fine and everything. With this though, I decided to go with PC since it's way easier to do so. It is a brand new PC so I don't want to fiddle with things too much. However, Windows is preventing me from running the .exe file that you get when you download and extract the zip files. How do I go about preventing Windows from blocking the installer from booting up? I'm guessing but maybe run with administrator privileges? Will that even work?

ManlyMarco

If it's saying it's an unknown file or whatever, there should be a small link near the bottom to run it anyways.

ManlyMarco

Download to wherever you want and run the patch .exe, then point it to where your game is installed.

when i try to start insalling it is it normal to say not responding and take a while?

Hi! I have downloaded the mod but there is a option in eyelash which shows weird in McM82 AerithFF7r and Skarlet_Mk11 how can I fix that?

Anonymous

hi im new to this but after i installed the patch vr mod isnt working i made sure i clicked on the options for them ... plz help

ManlyMarco

The patch doesn't come with any VR mod, only the official VR module. You have to have the official VR installed before installing the patch for it to work. If you used a VR mod then you'll have to install it again after using the patch.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but is there a way to optimize graphics with graphics mod. I run a pretty good, not great laptop and have some trouble with fps. I’ve read that disabling graphics mod helps but that has issues with some of the other mod skins and so forth. Just hoping to get best performance while minimizing hit to graphics? Thanks

Anonymous

if I have the better repack version of the game, should I still get the HF patch?

ManlyMarco

If the patch was released after the repack, yes you can use it with the repack.

Anonymous

After updating the game is in japanese entirely.

ManlyMarco

Try rebooting your computer and installing the patch again with default settings (English language). If that doesn't help, try moving the game to a different directory like "D:\HS2".

Anonymous

so this patch is also a english translations?

After updating the game is in japanese entirely,What should I do to change this back to Chinese?

Hello! I wonder if you could explain what is the difference between "Honey Select 2 Libido" and "Honey Select 2 Libido DX"?

ManlyMarco

DX is an optional paid expansion that adds some new maps, clothes and h positions.

Spartanb125

I purchased both the base game and the dlc but for the life of me I can't figure out how to install the base game.

Satu

Thank you for the patch :D

ManlyMarco

Check this guide if you downloaded from DMM, the process is pretty similar even though it's a different game https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2144965669

Hello Marco. I have installed HS2 & this HF patch, and I'm noticing the English translations in the dialogs when the ladies are speaking are so horrible, that I cannot even understand what they are trying to communicate... Thus, I'm wondering if the patch may not have installed correctly, or if the dialog is just that bad. E.g. "By the way, what are you? Do you have anything to think about?" Game options then pop up: "Give Affectionate/Optimistic/Sadistic reply". "Optimistic Reply" is chosen and she says, "That's right... I'm not the same as me..." ??? As you can see, the dialog is not even trackable; it makes no sense. Is this normal for HS2? Thanks.

ManlyMarco

There are no official translations, it's almost all machine translated as far as dialog goes, so this is normal. Fan translations cover only UI and small parts of dialogue. I'll include better machine translations that should make more sense in the next version of the patch. I'll post just the improved translation on patreon later.

ajino

HI, I applied this HF patch(v1.6), then Height control-bar disappeared in MALE char-maker. How can i fix it? Thanks.

ManlyMarco

Make sure it's turned on in bottom right menu. Make sure it's enabled when installing the patch also.

Anonymous

I can no longer swap characters during a scene after installing this mod. I can select new costumes but no option for characters. Any idea what the issue could be?

ManlyMarco

Can you send your log file? Open plugin settings and click the Log button. It's best to send it on discord to the help channel on the discord server or to my DMs.

ManlyMarco

Use the included .exe to extract the patch. If you really need the password it's in the post.

Dyo-Anima

I have a question in studio it doesn't load the bodymask of top type clothes, do you think this patch will fix it? I don't have this problem in character creation and maingame.

SKETV2

こちらをアップデートしたらMODが反映されません。他のパッチを試した結果v1.4なら反映されました。できれば新しいバージョンにアップデートしたいのですが、どうすればいいでしょうか?

ManlyMarco

Make sure the game path doesn't have any non-English letters in it. Try moving it to somewhere like D:\HS2\

Anonymous

Hey man appreciate the stuff you do here Just having an issue so my copy came from fakku which was just a ZIP file which was then extracted. I've installed the DLC as well and when i try to install the patch and direct to the folder with all the game files it says it cannot locate the files. Any advice you can give me would be great thanks.

ManlyMarco

You most likely extracted something to the wrong folder, the abdata folders of the game and all DLC should end up in the root directory. The patch also needs to be pointed to this directory.

hello,I downloaded the latest patch but found that whether my female character is newly created or already created, there will be a strange bug in the battle screen. As long as I move to other places, my feet cannot move completely. My feet are like pulled gum. No matter if I use the extra parts or clothes, I can’t improve the situation. How can I solve this problem?

Anonymous

Is there something I can do to stop the white screen lock up after h scenes. I've reapplied the hf patch but don't want to do a fresh lnstall because I downloaded all the updated plug ins.

ManlyMarco

Hello! What battle screen are you referring to? What do you mean by feet not moving completely when moving to other places? As far as I know there's no way to actually walk around in HS2

ManlyMarco

This should have been fixed by a recent version of HF Patch. If you updated your sideloader modpacks recently there might be something in them that causes it, or one of your plugins might be causing it. I suggest sending your output_log.txt in the help channel on the discord server.

TheProfessorsLeft

I've noticed that the Studio just goes unresponsive when I try to take a screenshot. Is this something that's happened before?

CrowNest

I got a Runtime error (at 33:669) Internal error: unknown custom message name "MsgDeepPath" in "cm" constant. while selecting a destination. What should I do? noted that I already have HS 2 DX pack about 2 years ago, with the then-version of plugins already in it. No it's not the steam version.

I get a white screen after conversation before a sex scene everytime. Already tried reinstalling without adding any additional mods

How do I use the first person mode ? I cant figure it out

SirSixShooter95

Does this mod only require the base game or will I have to purchase the main game along with its DLC?

Simple Jack

Do I need to reinstall the bin files and exe when updating?

Consortium2022

Will this work If I already have Honest select 2 from Keyzone? I do not have the steam version.

Does this patch now allow to install it on the STEAM version?

Is TrendMicro complaining about 2.1 patcher for anyone else? 2.0 didn't trigger anything, but 2.1 seems to an issue.

im not able to get other player made characters. any suggestions?

None of this makes any sense to me. Went to the github page but I have zero clue how to actually run this installer. It is 3am here maybe I am just tired but I have the slightest clue on how to get the new software to work. Oh well

Am I doing something wrong? When I load a card from Modpack (NextGenSkin) they are all a dark grey...I probably don't understand something.

ManlyMarco

Try updating the normal sideloader modpack through game launcher and see if the card loads correctly.

ManlyMarco

Don't download anything from github, download from the magnet link in the post above, it's got an explanation next to it.

ManlyMarco

You can get cards from db.bepis.moe or from the discord server. The in-game browser doesn't work in a modded game currently.

ManlyMarco

To install the patch you need both the exe and all bins in a single folder. Afterwards you can delete them.

Anonymous

how do you load a card from the modpacks? i see there are characters ending with zipmods but how do i turn them into cards

ManlyMarco

zipmods are mods like custom clothes, not character cards. Check db.bepis.moe or the discord server for those.

Orange Potato

I got to the last instal and program keeps becoming unresponsive idk what to do about this

Where should the HF patch for Honey Select 2 be installed?

ManlyMarco

Download to anywhere and install to where the game is installed, it won't let you install to the wrong folder.

Anonymous

Hey I'm having trouble installing HF Patchv2.1 it's saying can't locate bin1-1 even though it's in the folder what should I do?

ManlyMarco

Make sure the file names and extensions didn't get changed by whatever you used to download the patch.

Anonymous

it did I ended up figuring it out thank you!

Anonymous

When I made a desktop shortcut it changed the name of the patch so it was shearching for bin(1)-1 instead of 1-1

Hello, I broght HS2 on Steam. I downlaod the HF Patch. When I tried to install it in the game folder, it says this patch is inside of the game directory, and I tried move the patch files to a folder like "D:\HFP", it says "HS2 were not found ", how to solve this? thanks

ManlyMarco

Put the patch files anywhere other than the game directory, like in your downloads folder. When the patch runs you have to point it to where the game is installed to.

Anonymous

Hello, is the patch compatible with illusion's "secret patch" from their main website or will the mods be overwritten and cause issues? Thanks.

ManlyMarco

Hello, you don't need to install the secret patch if you install HF Patch. Don't install any official updates for steam ver after the patch, they can break the game install.

So, is there any way to make the download quicker? I am a subscriber, I use a VPN, but the KKManager Update is still just downloading in KB, mostly 50-500. Doesn't matter what time of day it is, left it overnight to download 150gb and 14 hours later it's still just 4,5%

ManlyMarco

Did you try using the alternative sources at the bottom of the KKManager release post?

Anonymous

Sorry, I've seen you say this to others as well, but what do you mean? Is the link to this somewhere in this specific post? When I start up the game via Steam, the box with a picture of Fur pops up, and I can start the game regular or in VR, and on the bottom left there's links to Patreon and Discord. I press Update, and this is what I'm talking about. Are you saying I should download a different patch? I can't exactly change the updater

Anonymous

I installed the HF patch but I can't run my downloaded cards. The game just don't detect any of them even if i put it in the right file. Can someone help me pls ?

ManlyMarco

Did the cards work before installing the patch? Make sure you download the full unaltered card files, many websites will remove the character data when showing the image. Try dragging the cards into the game window while in maker and see if there's any error on screen.

do i need to download all files ? it shows 2.1-1 untill 12? which is 23gb

Tim Conway

i found the post but this lead me down a rabbit hole to where i have no clue what to download. I am not sure i want to sub to another just get the updates. 220gb shouldnt take 2 to 14 days to download. Help us out here man

Anonymous

Agreed, I had to start and restart the download, seems it becomes slower the longer I leave it on. Everyday for over a week, and still not even 20%. I gave up. Marco doesn't seem to think it's worth an answer, even though several other people are asking the same. He doesn't want our money I guess

Do I need to install the KK Manager before installing this, or do I not need it?

Anonymous

Hi! I am using this to get uncensored models, and whenever I installed and launched game with mods, I could no longer customize characters ): Is there a way to fix this?

ManlyMarco

Reboot and install the patch again, if that fails reinstall the game and only the latest patch.

Matt

Are there any plan for another update in the near future? Recently downloaded the latest patch but KKmanager is looking to download 40+GB of things and it just doesn't quite work.

ManlyMarco

Yes, the patch will get future updates. You don't need to update any of the studio modpacks if you don't use studio.

Matt

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that's what I mainly use the game for. So I guess I have to sit though those download at some point. Would downloading them directly from their corresponding sources and installing through KKmanager circumvent the slow download of KKmanager?

Anonymous

for whatever reason i cannot run the exe file, It tells me i have to get something special to run it. Has anyone else had this issue and if so how did it get fixed.

ManlyMarco

KKManager uses the same servers so it'll probably be similar. In a week or so there should be an update to KKManager that should help with download speeds a fair bit so you can wait until then.

Matt

Thank you very much! Looking forward to it.

Anonymous

hi, for some kind of reason it says could not be located, and please insert the correct disk or select another file, I have tried it many times and still doesn't work

ManlyMarco

Make sure you downloaded all parts to the same directory and the file names did not get changed.
