Like WyldAnimal,

I make registry edits when and if necessary.

The two most common edits (as I understand it) are for the location of the models (and there is system functionality to do this now) and the Data folder for which there are no system functionality.

I know the risks and what would be required if things went wrong, that is why I made the modifications to achieve what I needed.

Cheers & Beers

For Many Years, The official Virtuagirl Help and then the iStripper Help
Contained Instructions on Making Registry Edits

These were Official Support FAQ from the Team..

These inclusion is the Help FAQ have since been removed, as most of it, is now part of the Settings.
But there are a few members who want to relocate more then just the Models Repository.

And the Only way to do that, is to make a registry edit.

Back when I was much more active as a Mod, I created a Sticky topic for people giving "advice" on doing registry modifications.

In essence said that it was the responsibility of the person giving the advice to:
1. Make sure the member who was being advised was aware of potential risks if they didn't know what they were doing
2. It was the advising member's responsibility to support the member making the changes and help them correct the situation if something went wrong.
3. I was even know to bring out my club for a few whacks for "advising" members who did not follow these rules.

Back then, we had a few cowboys (and they were always guys back then) who threw out suggested changes, but didn't warn of potential risks and didn't support the member when they got it wrong and left it to Totem Support to resolve the mess, which is why the Team do not advocate making these changes because they don't know how experienced the member is.

Now with WyldAnimal, he has always, then as now, provided warnings and fully supported the member when & after they attempted the registry update.

That is why in all these years even before he became a Mod, I NEVER have had a problem with his posts on registry changes and NEVER even considered challenging him on one

Woot nice and congratulation to Eve.

There are a number of elements to iStripper on a Mac. The most important are:

1. The iStripper application file which should be in you Applications folder.

2. The data folder whose default location is an iStripper folder in home folder.

3. The models folder which defaults to the iStripper folder but can be moved anywhere using the Advanced settings of the iStripper application's user interface.

The iStripper application can be placed in either the root applications folder where it will be available to all users of the comptuer or the home folder of a single user so that other users can not see it. I have mine in the root applications folder.

1. Where is your data folder?

2. Is your models folder in the path shown in the iStripper advanced setting data sector?

I don't want to go into preference file issues until I understand your file configuration. If you haven't moved the data folder and don't want to move it, you probably don't need to do anything to the preference file. That filed is named: com.totem.Vghd.plist

I know this thread is intended for more general appreciation, and I certainly echo the sentiments that have been expressed here. But I have a specific thing that happened today which bears mentioning.

Last night, I was looking at my account details and I happened to notice that it showed that I had purchased a card "20 hours ago." I had not knowingly done so. At first, I thought that maybe I had purchased it accidentally, but then I realized I had been long ***** at that time.

Hacked? Not sure why anyone would hack my account to add a card to my collection; how would that benefit them? But just to be safe, I changed my password right away. Then I contacted Totem support.

By early this morning, the purchase had been reversed. The credits were back in my account and the card was removed from my collection after I did a server sync. No questions, no fuss, and no delay. That's good customer service.

Congratulations to all the winners! Unfortunately, I am not one of them. Oh well. There is always next time, or the time after that, or after that...

i had almost 200 tickets D:
GG to the winners

I am Dissapointed all right i had about 115 tickets. Im Starting this whole schnaz all together. Im not happy about this. There's no Win Up in here :(👎

Thanks so much for your help :)

i moved everything except the exeutable file that downloads when installed. that file is still on the desktop..i have changed location of files in settings to read: volumes/blah/blah. Yes, Harddrive is only 500G on imac desktop. Passport is 5 TB. Possibly, but not sure what preference file to edit? running 10.15.7 imac late 2012

Taylor Shay large implants and big ass which is shaking nicely

287 tickets pas un lot
Merci pour l'ARNAQUE ....

It means you get an extra 20% discount if you buy within 10 days of a card's relase date and also, you can download cards in 4K resolution if your system can handle it.. My crappy old laptop can manage it if I minimise the gui. (2.6 Ghz with 4 GB Ram). Anything much less than that might struggle with 4K clips.

It also means that you get priority Customer Service if you should ever need it. Not needed it myself so can't comment on that...

Grats! :)

@Miwd - from Totem's description of Premium membership (which, if I remember rightly, costs 65 euro a year)

Your Premium membership gives you :
20% Off new shows during 10 days after they are released
20 % Off new VR 180° shows during 10 days after they are released
Access to the 4k resolution of Crystal Clear+ shows
Priority response from the customer service
A crown near your profile avatar & Premium skin

If you already own a card for which 4k resolution is available you can upgrade it to 4k at no additional price. If you can benefit from 4k then then it will be worthwhile doing this.

Looks like I won "PRIZE 6: One Month Premium Test"

I'm not sure what it means exactly, but thank you!
I usually never win things so I'm pretty happy right now!

congrats to the winners even if I'm a little envious

i did not have the extra white bar that @spacedragon64 ***** from but the calendar did extend below my taskbar (which has the smallest height that windows allows). This does not cause any real problem (I can see and open doors on the bottom row) but does cut off the bottom of the image and it looks a little odd. This is on my laptop's 1600x900 screen. No need to do anything about it this year.

my personal preference goes to the more "natural" type of big breasts of the gorgeous models posted by @henrylee7 😉

👍Only natural breasts have the bouncing boobs effect😜

This year, Two Santa girls in lingerie? The girl from the "Winter Sale" photo is Agatha Vega?

Belle Claire has medium natural breasts

I have noticed another discrepancy.

In this weeks istripper newsletter it states about the Advent Calendar

It contains:
all the shows released in December that you get 1 day in advance,

Except as we all know it does not contain the show released on the 1st December nor the shows released after 25th December

Me? I'm just happy there's a place we can all come together and have fun, make friends and share a mutual interest that's not frowned upon by meddling, puritan outsiders.

This forum has helped me develop my artistic abilities to levels I never thought or knew I had before I joined. Not to mention the amazing ladies that keep us all hooked...

I have NEVER said anything bad about Totem and the Team. I've always gone along with what they do. Some people may see that as ass kissing. For 22 years, Totem have been providing entertainment for us fickle, sometimes ***** masses. I don't listen to most of the complaints.

I'm just thankful that iStripper and this forum exist to give me an outlet for my creativity and a REAL place to share with REAL people.

Wherever you go in life, there will always be some types who constantly bitch and moan about someting or other that's not to their liking. That will never change. They blame everyone but themselves and their weaknesses. I just try to ignore them.

TOTEM ROCKS! Keep the girls coming to fuel my inspiration... And my pleasure ;)

THANK YOU.

2. It is still Autumn not Winter.

It depends which definition of Winter you use. According to Wikipedia

Winter is often defined by meteorologists to be the three calendar months with the lowest average temperatures. This corresponds to the months of December, January and February in the Northern Hemisphere, and June, July and August in the Southern Hemisphere.

and this seems to be close to how most Europeans think of it. Other regions jave different traditions - the same Wikipedia article mentions that in China Winter is traditionally regarded as starting in early November.

The alternative, Astronimical Winter, has the counter intuitive property of begining on mid-winter's day.

@Klaken happy B-day.👍

Did anyone else see "Winter sale" & think and there'd be actual sales? 😂
I see @MrRee also noticed a slight discrepency... 😜

Est-ce que quelqu'un d'autre a lu "Winter sale" et a pensé qu'il y avait réellement des soldes ? 😂
Je vois que @MrRee a aussi remarqué un léger décalage... 😜

Grats to all the winners. Considering the amount of tickets I had the odds were astronomical. I appreciated the chance to get some jokers. Wound up getting 3 of them. I'm looking forward to getting some SEC's I've been wanting.

😄😄@MrRee, nous dirons donc; ventes de fin d'Automne👌😀😀
😄😄 @MrRee, so we'll say; end of fall sales👌😀😀

1. I did not enjoy the Black Friday Event. Do Not Presume.

2. It is still Autumn not Winter.

3. Sale - Offering of goods at reduced prices for a period. I see no evidence of reduced prices.

PS. BAH HUMBUG

As well as the examples and reasons already mentioned there was one card that featured a group of four girls. This fully justifies its extra cost.

@sbholder

A good way to search for them is to use the cosplay and special occasions tags.

@Klaken, congratulations on your lottery victory 👍 And above all: happy birthday 😊😊😊

Je ne connais aucun des gagnants, donc j'adresse des félicitations impersonnelles général aux gagnants.
Mention spéciale toutefois à la dizaine de personnes figurant dans les quatre premier prix... l'*****ée 2020 aura fini par vous sourire.

Today is my birthday.
I didn't really expect anything.
I got Prize 6: One Month Premium Test.

That's a nice gift, thanks.

Hi there !

"If the @Team could convey our thanks to the models (I know some frequent these forums too) for the work they've done for us, that would be ace too. The Community really appreciates them and the work of Totem, as @Stanston said, it's given us a patch of light during these dark times."

We will let them know and they will appreciate it, believe me !

And thanks for your kind message for the team, it was a tuff year but we made it, our girls gave strength to all of us ;)

Have a nice week-end !

Avec ce calendrier, je deviens diamant dans 13 jours (17/12/20).
D'ici là, les show qui m'interressent patienteront dans ma wishlist.

@Shamber
Félicitations 👍 Il vous reste maintenant a décider quoi en faire 😀😊

Update: sky color for Xmas_Clouds

Ok understand now sorry. Still ***** all event card. Good bye Little Caprice....

Thanks for the 5th reward ❤️

@HansSachs

but I also wouldn't find such speculations, though, a good and sufficient reason not to get some useful workarounds and so to be posted and made available here by expert users

Neither do I. I have never suggested that the information not be made available, only that when it is there should be some consideration that we are not all familar with the possible pitfalls.

As a simple, but directly relevant, example there have been a few cases where people have moved their iStripper Data folder and then months or even years later have had problems after reinstalling the program because it could not find their data (including their music, scenes, playlists and custom cards). In some cases they remembered that they had done it but could not remember how to do it again but in other cases they had no idea why they had lost their data. Although after asking here their problems could be easily fixed does not change the fact that there were problems caused by this supposedly safe procedure - albeit relatively benign ones.

It's a lottery. Whatever is the amount of tickets a member may get during the Black weeks, the total number of tickets released (summing tickets owned by all participants to such games) is huge and so, being the prizes to be drawn among such a huge number of tickets extremely few, instead, chances to win are almost null.
As they are in all lotteries on planet.

They're based on the novelty of the outfit, mostly, as usually the outfits are not repeated.

Or they're more hardcore, like Gia Ren's card.

It is the cost that goes into making the card, usually in the form of extra props or more expensive costumes.

A couple off the top of my head:

Estonika - Harley XXX
Jia Lissa - Enjoy With My Ukulele
Gia Ren - Miss Red Hood
Kaisa Nord - Warm North Side
Eva Elfie - NieR Dildomata
Kay J - Victorian Secret

A good way to search for them is to use the cosplay and special occasions tags.

Here you will find all show with higher price.

Still dont undrestand. I go to work - i came from work - You NOT win..... Its like lootbox???? Need 100 lootboxes?
and most *****, that my fav Little Caprice - event card.....

@all
It's a lottery: as in real-life lotteries, probabilities and chances to win anything are extremely limited (there might have been even hundreds of thousands of iStripper lottery tickets created during recent weeks!) - so no one should really feel disappointed or decieved by the company if he did not win anything.

others blindly follow the "recipe" and are then encouraged by their success to twiddle with things that they do not understand - and are likely to do this for other programs.

I can see your point (even if I would rather say "they might then be encouraged by their success", than your "they are then be encouraged") - but I also wouldn't find such speculations, though, a good and sufficient reason not to get some useful workarounds and so to be posted and made available here by expert users.
The company itself, moreover, looks to always have more than tolerated - in some cases they did explicitely quote and endorse them - such workarounds.
