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.

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.
