Custom Mode is a mode in Yandere Simulator that allows players to create their own playable scenarios and share them with others.
Gameplay[]
To open Custom Mode, select one of the new save files to create a custom mode and press the shift/LB key.
In this mode, the player can customize the protagonist, her Senpai, and the rest of the school populations as well as their routines or generate them randomly. The player can customize the events, club leaders, and confessions dialogue, change the content of the diaries and newspapers, as well as changing the textures by adding or modifying files in respective subfolders found in ...\YandereSimulator\Assets\StreamingAssets\CustomMode\. The instructions and templates are found in the same folders.
By the end of the 11th week, the protagonist will attempt to confess to her Senpai. Depending on the various factors, such as how exactly the rivals were eliminated, her reputation at school and if she attempted to make any gifts to them or not and if they were mentally affected by the past events, they will either accept the confession or reject her.
After finishing working on a custom mode or before updating the game, the author has to copy the following folders to share the mode:
YandereSimulator\Assets\StreamingAssets\CustomModeYandereSimulator\Assets\StreamingAssets\PortraitsCustomYandereSimulator\Assets\StreamingAssets\JSON\Custom.jsonYandereSimulator\Assets\StreamingAssets\JSON\CustomTopics.jsonYandereSimulator\Assets\StreamingAssets\JSON\Misc.json
In the initial release of the Custom Mode, several features only exist in basic state:
- As of February 1st, 2024 Build, it is possible to change the gender of the students, except for the faculty and the player.
- Student routines do not change from week to week. The author can customize any student's routine, but all students will repeat their "Week 1 Routine" on every week. (it will be updated soon to have a unique routine for every day)
- All Custom Mode rivals share the same "sabotagable events" as the 1980s Mode rivals. The author can edit the dialogue between Senpai and the rivals, but they can't dictate the exact criteria for sabotaging their interactions. If the player wants to eliminate a rival through sabotage, the author needs to avoid changing their routines in ways that would prevent the 1980s Mode rival events from taking place.
- It is technically possible to give a character a weird combination of traits, like giving the coward persona to a teacher, but it may result in the game encountering circumstances it has no instructions for, which could potentially cause the character to just freeze in place or run in circles forever.
Trivia[]
- This mode was initially referred to as Scenario Editor Mode.[1]
- Initially, it was planned as an additional feature that would not be included in the free demo version.[2] However, that changed with the mode being released in January 5th, 2024 build.
- YandereDev has suggested the idea of being able to create your own school inside custom mode, but it has most likely been scrapped.[3]
- Currently, it is only available for 1980s Mode, however, after Megami Saikou is finished, YandereDev will add a custom mode for 202X Mode.[4]
- If the player randomizes a student or teacher, it's possible to get Phone Addict set as their persona, despite Phone Addict being disabled when selecting a persona manually in 1980s Custom Mode due to cell phones not existing in 1989.
- When a student has the Phone Addict persona, they will flee the school and call the cops like a Loner after witnessing the protagonist murder someone due to said reason above.
- In the 1980s mode, the user mode doesn't have a year set, but there are no cell phones in the school either.
- In the 2020s, the user mode is probably "modern."[5]
