(Mostly copied from the preexisting install instructions, thanks Bicky)
Choose the version you wish to install (Mild or Spicy)
Copy the corresponding folder (uncensor_[language] oruncensor_en_x)
Paste the copied folder onto the game's Mods directory Steam: Apparently, the game runs best under Proton, so we'll continue using that. There's a Linux Native build, but don't use it. To force the Proton build: Right click the game once it's installed, go to Properties, then Compatibility, click the box to force a specific Steam Play compatibility tool, and leave it on whatever you prefer. There will probably be an update queued after you do this, so download and install the update. Now we can find the mod folder. In your Steam library, go to the folder steamapps, then compatdata. Compatdata is where our wineprefix is, which mimics the Windows environment.The steam app id for Idol Manager is 821880 so we want that folder. So your folder path should look like the below: <your steam library>/steamapps/compatdata/821880/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Glitch Pitch/Idol Manager/Mods/
If the Mods folder isn't present, just start the game up once and it should make it, or add a Steam Workshop mod and start the game. It should be present afterward.
Make sure the patch is enabled in the in-game Mods menu. If this worked you should see it listed there.
The Upload button will likely upload this mod to Steam Workshop. So probably don't press it.
They planned to add it to the game themselves initially, but due to strict age ratings and a possible ban from selling the game in specific territories due to that NSFW content, they had to tone it down for the full release.
As for the version available on Steam: I wasn't the one who made it or uploaded it, and haven't tried it either. Use it at your own discretion.
I've been having a bit of a problem trying to install the mod, not sure if it's because of steam but when i go through appdata there is no LocalLow file. I did try searching for Glitch Pitch but that didn't show up either, only Idol Manager which lead me back to the steamapps folder.
I tried following the previous comments as best as i could but to no avail. I made a mods folder in IM_Data\StreamingAssets and inserted uncensor_en_x into the mods folder but it didn't show when i opened the game and hit f7 5 to 6 times. This is the first time i download a mod outside of steam so it's a little confusing haha.
Is your OS set to display hidden items? Your LocalLow folder could be hidden due to Window hiding certain system folders and files by default.
Additionally, please make sure you're accessing the correct user's AppData folder (as in the user that's originally installed the game via Steam).
If none of that works for you, please let me know. You could also try following these troubleshooting methods in order to get to your LocalLow folder :)
Please make sure you've extracted the desired patch's folder to the game's "mods" folder (instead of extracting the loose files from its folder into "mods" directly), so its path should look something like AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\Mods\uncensor_ru_x if you were to download and install the Russian Spicy version of the patch, for example.
Have you tried installing any other non-Steam mods to your game, such as my own IM:SOOF pack, or this other mod? Do they work appropriately?
Both versions of the mod (mild English + spicy English) display a white screen while playing the CG on Linux. Is there any way to run it properly? The added text works perfectly otherwise.
I've had confirmation from the devs about the correct folder strutcture for mod installation on Mac and Windows, but not on Linux, unfortunately. Since my first suggestion would be to make sure the mod folder is in the correct directory, I'm gonna have to trust you there.
There's no way for me to test my mod on an OS other than Windows either, so perhaps your best bet for now would be to download one of the reuploads of the patch some users have made on Steam Workshop and see if that version works properly for you - as ironic as that may sound.
i can't use the spicy mod en, what happen? when i enable it, it didn't come out, but after i put the mild mod en ( an other ) the langues change to russia, any help?
Could there be a conflict between different mods you have installed? Perhaps between different versions of the IMUP patch? Try deactivating all of your mods via Mods menu except for EN Mild version and see if if works.
If it doesn't, let me know and I'll try to walk you through the step-by-steps to see if there's any sort of issue with your installation.
Alright, so I tested it a bit more, except for the table one, none of them show up. Though I do believe it's a bug from the Mac version of the game because it shows up on Windows, and the sample mod provided on steam have the same results.
Hi, unfortunately the user who translated the spicy version of the mod to Japanese and uploaded it to Mega has deleted the files. I will try to get the link back up as soon as possible.
Spicy English Version Patch? Is it just me or do I just see what I assume to be one Mild and two Spicy but only in Russian and Japanese version? Is the English version WIW?
Japanese and Russian downloads are standalone spicy versions of the patch. English Spicy version comes with the main file. I'll update the description and make that clearer.
You can use the debug menu in order to manually trigger them (Press F7 five times in order to activate cheats and then the ' or ~ key to open the dialogues menu). Then, find one of the scenes the mod uncensors and click on it. If you emet its requirements, it'll trigger successfully and you'll be able to determine whether the mod is working or not.
If you can't find the modified scenes in the '/~ menu, press F7 a sixth time to bring up the debug menu and look for one of the scenes on the list.
Using Spicy but no spicy scenes seem to be playing, I did get the option to go home and have innuendo about tumbling in the sheets but nothing other than that. I added the mod midway, does that affect anything? IT even says "You are faithful to your wife."
so ive buy idol manager on steam but i cant seem to put your mods in. ive tried creating "mods" folder but the game not readiing the mods. also i dont install the game on drive c but on drive d so the guide is confusing me a lil bit
Did you create the 'Mods' folder in AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager? It shouldn't matter on which drive you actually install the game, that folder will always be on the same place.
Ive tried unhiding files but theres only local file in the appdata. I don't know what to do anymore, i think imma give up. Im just gonna play it without mods or with mods from workshop. Thx for replying man
Does your LocalLow directory contain a Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager folder? If it does, and all you're missing is a 'Mods' folder, try creating it manually, pasting the patch's folder inside of it and testing it out.
That happens when you use the Spicy version and you're running the game on a 16:10 aspect ratio. I'll see if I can find a way tk add those versions of the explicit to the CGs to the spicy version, but, for now, either playing with the Mild version of the mod or using a 16:9 resolution should fix the issue.
Just a heads up, some CG (date event CGs for example) are missing their 16:10 counterparts and if you are playing the game with this aspect ratio, no CG will be shown and you will be presented with a black screen. Found this out when going through the date_ambition_30_karaoke event while in a 16:10 aspect ratio (and then digging through the mods files), and I'm sure it's true with other events CGs that don't have their 16:10 counterparts. **(Correction Spicy Flavor is missing some 16:10 CG, while the Mild is fine)
Didn't play previous builds (other than the steam demo) so I don't know if they were also missing, but chances are (since it was cut from 1.0) they were probably were.
No problems with 16:9; it's the default aspect ratio anyways.
Hi there, thanks for the heads-up. I'm afraid I won't be able to at the 16:10 versions of the spicy CGs for now since they were made available as loose files as far as I'm aware, but I'll see what I can do about it;
Hey don't worry too much about it, just making it aware to others so they know of whats going on so they aren't questioning if the patch is working or not like I was.

Any idea how to install this on Steam deck? It uses linux as far as I know
Buy me one and I'll help you figure out how ;)
jk :P
I've never really used a Steam Deck, I'm not really sure how one would go about installing mods on it :/
For Linux/Steam Deck install:

Steam:

4. Enjoy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Can not download Spicy Japanese version. If the original file remains, I want you to re-upload it.
Unfortunately, the file has been deleted by the user who made the translation, and I don't have it available for reupload.
I stopped keeping up with this game a while ago, but didn't the devs say they would've released the mature content themselves?
Also there is a version of your mod on the Steam workshop but I'm not sure if it's legit or up to date.
They planned to add it to the game themselves initially, but due to strict age ratings and a possible ban from selling the game in specific territories due to that NSFW content, they had to tone it down for the full release.
As for the version available on Steam: I wasn't the one who made it or uploaded it, and haven't tried it either. Use it at your own discretion.
Can't download russian version. Link is dead.
My apologies, I'll see if I have the original files so I can reupload the translation myself.
I've reuploaded the file, sorry for the wait.
I've been having a bit of a problem trying to install the mod, not sure if it's because of steam but when i go through appdata there is no LocalLow file. I did try searching for Glitch Pitch but that didn't show up either, only Idol Manager which lead me back to the steamapps folder.

Troubleshooting did the trick.
Again, thanks for the help.
你好，请问怎么触发事件呢？安装mod后我打开菜单对话列表没有那几个事件。
我下载的游戏是最新版本
I install the mod, but i don't see the R18 in the Options and no in the Mod-Menü? I have the steam-version
Please make sure you've extracted the desired patch's folder to the game's "mods" folder (instead of extracting the loose files from its folder into "mods" directly), so its path should look something like AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\Mods\uncensor_ru_x if you were to download and install the Russian Spicy version of the patch, for example.

Getting white instead of the CG. On 16:10 resolution, using mild version.
Did it only happen while playing through that specific dialogue, or has it happened in other occasions? English version?
All the CGs, except for the table one, in that scene show up as white. Not sure about other scenarios.
And yeah, the English version.
Alright, I'll look into it and see if I can find a fix.
Alright, so I tested it a bit more, except for the table one, none of them show up.
Though I do believe it's a bug from the Mac version of the game because it shows up on Windows, and the sample mod provided on steam have the same results.
Thank you for the response!
Is there a Chinese version?
Not yet, but feel free to translate the mod if you wish to do so :)
I'm sorry. My mistake.
"Spicy Japanese"
No worries! I'll make sure to back it up this time, just in case :)
Can not download Spicy Japanese version.
Download link is dead.
Hi, unfortunately the user who translated the spicy version of the mod to Japanese and uploaded it to Mega has deleted the files. I will try to get the link back up as soon as possible.
It's back online now :)
Spicy English Version Patch? Is it just me or do I just see what I assume to be one Mild and two Spicy but only in Russian and Japanese version? Is the English version WIW?
Japanese and Russian downloads are standalone spicy versions of the patch. English Spicy version comes with the main file. I'll update the description and make that clearer.
Oh okay, thank you very much.
How do i know if its working? I dont know what to do to see the scenes
You can use the debug menu in order to manually trigger them (Press F7 five times in order to activate cheats and then the ' or ~ key to open the dialogues menu).

Hello there.
I translated "Spicy ver." into Japanese.
I'll upload it.
MEGA
Thanks! Will add it to the list of dowloadables as soon as possible :)
Hi, shiokon009
What happened to the Japanese spicy version upload? It seems to be down.
Ready to help translate "Spicy ver." into Russian.
Go ahead :)
Let me know when you're done so I can add a link to it on the mod's page.
Good afternoon, the translation is ready:
MEGA - Full pack
MEGA - Only russian spicy version
Awesome! I'll add the links to the page as soon as possible
Have you tried manually replacing the files within the Mild version folder with the files for the Spicy patch?
Using Spicy but no spicy scenes seem to be playing, I did get the option to go home and have innuendo about tumbling in the sheets but nothing other than that. I added the mod midway, does that affect anything? IT even says "You are faithful to your wife."
Is your game running on a 16:10 ratio instead of 16:9? 16:10 resolutions are only supported in Mild versions of the mod currently.
It's safe to enable this mod mid-game or I need to start a new game to avoid corruption of a save file?
You can enable it in your current save game, shouldn't cause any issues.
i need a brazilian portuguese translation please....Spicy version!
steam bad, itchio good.
so ive buy idol manager on steam but i cant seem to put your mods in. ive tried creating "mods" folder but the game not readiing the mods. also i dont install the game on drive c but on drive d so the guide is confusing me a lil bit
Did you create the 'Mods' folder in AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager? It shouldn't matter on which drive you actually install the game, that folder will always be on the same place.
I can't find the locallow and glitch pitch file. There's only appdata\local. i don't know whats wrong with my pc 😂
Have you tried unhiding files/folder your system hides by default
Ive tried unhiding files but theres only local file in the appdata. I don't know what to do anymore, i think imma give up. Im just gonna play it without mods or with mods from workshop. Thx for replying man
welp, turns out the locallow file is hiding somewhere lol. thanks for replying man
Hey, I was wondering how to put the patch on the stream version of the game?
Does your LocalLow directory contain a Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager folder? If it does, and all you're missing is a 'Mods' folder, try creating it manually, pasting the patch's folder inside of it and testing it out.
How do we install the mod if we’re using steam?
Same procedure as non-Steam version, as described in the install instructions.
Sorry, I’m not really familiar with installing mods, what folder am I suppose to paste it into when I’m trying to add it as a steam mod?
Theoretically, it should be one of these:
Windows: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\Mods
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Glitch Pitch/Idol Manager/Mods/ or ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Glitch Pitch.Idol Manager/Mods/
There’s no mod folder for the steam version except for the workshop which doesn’t work
If you don't have a Mods folder in one of those directories, you can try creating one manually and pasting the patch's folder there.
The adult scenes are all blank screens for me, the dialogue works but its just pitch black
That happens when you use the Spicy version and you're running the game on a 16:10 aspect ratio. I'll see if I can find a way tk add those versions of the explicit to the CGs to the spicy version, but, for now, either playing with the Mild version of the mod or using a 16:9 resolution should fix the issue.
Thank you.
I waiting for Japanese ver spicy.
Just a heads up, some CG (date event CGs for example) are missing their 16:10 counterparts and if you are playing the game with this aspect ratio, no CG will be shown and you will be presented with a black screen.
Found this out when going through the date_ambition_30_karaoke event while in a 16:10 aspect ratio (and then digging through the mods files), and I'm sure it's true with other events CGs that don't have their 16:10 counterparts.
**(Correction Spicy Flavor is missing some 16:10 CG, while the Mild is fine)
Didn't play previous builds (other than the steam demo) so I don't know if they were also missing, but chances are (since it was cut from 1.0) they were probably were.
No problems with 16:9; it's the default aspect ratio anyways.
Thanks for releasing the patch btw.
Hi there, thanks for the heads-up. I'm afraid I won't be able to at the 16:10 versions of the spicy CGs for now since they were made available as loose files as far as I'm aware, but I'll see what I can do about it;
Hey don't worry too much about it, just making it aware to others so they know of whats going on so they aren't questioning if the patch is working or not like I was.
By original, do you mean you made the CGs yourself?
Apologies for the misunderstanding. By original, it means they were made by the game's original artists. I'll rewrite the description :)
Are we not able to use the mod if we got the game through steam?
You are able to install it and use it like any other mod. You just have to do it manually instead of via the Worshop.
are u going to release on workshop?
I'm afraid that won't be possible due to Steam's policies.
