Custom Mode is a mode in Yandere Simulator that allows players to create their own playable scenarios and share them with others.
Currently, it is only available for 1980s Mode, however, after Megami Saikou is finished, YandereDev will add a custom mode for 202X Mode.[1]
Select one of the new save files to create a custom mode and press the shift/LB key.
Gameplay[]
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. Additionally, the player can add their cutscenes at the beginning of each week; to do that, they have to drag all the necessary images, music, and text to YandereSimulator\Assets\StreamingAssets\CustomMode\Cutscenes. To change the dialogue between the rivals and Senpai, they have to change the text inside YandereSimulator\Assets\StreamingAssets\CustomMode\Events; however, the events themselves are currently based on 1980s Mode rivals' events.
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\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 1, 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.
- 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.[2]
- Initially, it was planned as an additional feature that would not be included in the free demo version.[3] However, that changed with the mode being released in January 5th, 2024 build.
- This mode have a idea to make your owned school, but it will most likely be scratch and not be added.[4]
Quotes[]
I fell in love with a boy. I love him so much that I want to kill any girl who speaks to him. One of my classmates plans to confess her love to him at 6:00 PM on Friday. I have to stop her before that happens. Drowning her...poisoning her...stabbing her...even burning her to death... There is nothing I won't do for him. I won't let anyone come between us. I don't care what I have to do. I don't care who I have to hurt. I don't care whose blood I have to spill. I won't let anyone take him from me. Nothing else matters. No one else matters. He. Will. Be. Mine. He doesn't have a choice.
I eliminated the girl who was planning to confess to my Senpai... ...but another girl has fallen in love with him. Just like the last girl, she plans to confess to him at 6:00 PM on Friday. I can't let her take him from me. One way or another, I must eliminate her before the end of the week...
I finally did it... I eliminated all of the girls who were trying to steal my Senpai from me. And, now... I finally have the courage to tell him how I feel. Senpai...please, accept my feelings!
The day has finally come. She takes a deep breath...and confesses her feelings to him. She describes how he makes her feel...and how she can't live without him. When she is finally finished...she waits eagerly for his response.
With great enthusiasm...he smiles warmly...and says he loves her, too! Her love confession...has been accepted!
With a look of irritation...he shakes his head...and says he would never date her. Her love confession...has been rejected. She failed. She was not able...to win his heart. This story does not have...a happy ending.
He said yes! At long last...Senpai is finally mine! We'll be together forever... ...he doesn't have a choice, after all. Ah, ha ha ha...
