Beauty and the Thug
Beauty and the Thug 4.1 is here!
Yep, it’s finally out! Beauty and the Thug 4.1 has officially dropped—woohoo!
What’s New?
This update packs a massive punch:
1,277 new renders, 282 new animations, and even two brand-new music tracks!
Long-time players might remember that, after tons of requests, I promised to finally add some male partners for Lisa. Many of you weren’t thrilled that Hunter was her only option before.
So, I ran a poll on my Patreon and Subscribestar to see who you wanted to see with Lisa first.
The winner? None other than Jose from the car wash!
Honestly, it wasn’t easy.
Originally, Jose wasn’t planned as a sexual partner at all—he’s a loving husband, devoted dad, and basically a role model.
But Lisa—being the caring future doctor she is—decided that Jose clearly needs a little helping hand… and not just the hand, if you know what I mean.
I added four lengthy, multi-stage events with Jose, each featuring plenty of steamy animations and multiple choices for how Lisa behaves.
(Confession time: I just realized I forgot to block Jose’s route if Lisa is dating Hunter… Oops! Oh well, I’ll fix that in the next release. For now, you get a little extra freedom—enjoy it while it lasts!)
During their “relationship,” Jose also gifts Lisa a brand-new work outfit that fits her… personality perfectly. I think you’ll love it.
Oh, and I slipped in a couple of spicy mini-adventures for Lisa on her way home in that daring new outfit.
To fully finish Jose’s storyline, you’ll have to dip your toes into a bit of “Groundhog Day” time-looping. I’ll be adding new normal days in the next update, covering at least June 27th to July 4th.
Not sure how to unlock the new stuff? No worries—check the in-game hint screen by clicking the “?” icon at the top bar.
Pro tip: Lisa will need a high Exhibitionism skill, and let’s just say it wouldn’t hurt if she’s also skilled in Anal Play… Jose has his preferences.
UI Upgrades!
The last update brought a complete UI overhaul, making the game way more dynamic—and yeah, sexier too.
Most of your feedback was positive, but a few common issues came up:
- Some of you accidentally skipped new content because the game didn’t pause at the bonus event selection screen.
- Others wanted better indicators for whether they’d seen certain content before, especially since unlocking everything takes multiple playthroughs.
I listened! Here’s what’s new:
- Stop at Bonus Events
This new option in Preferences lets you decide whether the game should pause when a bonus event pops up:
- Always pause
- Only pause if new content is available
- Or keep it like before (no pause).
- Check Visited Content
This setting upgrades the New Content indicators. Now you’ll know:
- Gold “New” = Content you’ve never seen in any playthrough.
- Bright red “New” = Content you’ve missed this playthrough, but saw before.
- Faded red = Locked content you can’t access yet (due to low stats, etc.).
I also added the same system to the Lewd Videos screen! Now videos you’ve never watched will also show a gold “New” label.
Other Tweaks & Fixes
• Achievements updated to include all the new juicy stuff.
• Added two new sliders in the Cheat Menu to adjust Hunter’s and Amy’s Love
Points—changing their relationship scores is now a breeze.
• Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, and German translations are updated and fully cover the new content.
• Squashed about 100 typos, weird lines, and small bugs—huge thanks to LTFlea for reporting most of them!
Visual Quality Boost!
Toward the end of this update, I made a big leap in image quality. The new process is more complex and time-consuming, but—personally—I think it’s 100% worth it.
And my supporters agreed during the poll!
Here’s a quick before-and-after comparison:
Notice the difference?
Oh, and by the way—Lisa’s feet got an upgrade too! They’re much more detailed now:
This process involves several steps: post-processing with various tools (some powered by AI), layering effects with fancy (and expensive) software, and more. Honestly, keeping all my apps running costs a ton every month… I couldn’t do it without your support.
Oh, and just FYI: Only the latest two Jose events were rendered using this new method (and even then, some parts only partially). I’m still fine-tuning my workflow—and figuring out which parts I’ll handle myself and which parts Aqwaa will take care of. But we’re getting there!
What’s Next?
Right after this release, I’m jumping straight into the next update: Amy’s storyline!
Personally, I think Lisa’s realization that she loves Hunter turned out pretty great.
But—honestly?—the next part, where Lisa and Amy become a couple, might be even better.
Combined with the new image quality, I’m aiming for something really special.
If you’re following the pure lesbian route, you might want to wait for that—this update has no new lesbian content.
But for everyone else… don’t miss this one! Dive in and have fun!
With love,
Your zegamez & Aqwaa

The new images look amazing, great work! Can't wait to see the Amy update with this quality.
With all the advancements, would it be possible to update some of the climax scene from the evening. Compared to the new content, they look a bit dated. If the time would allow it, maybe update two or three of the scene with a new content update. Not to much, to really delay the new stuff.
Just a couple of things... The new images look fantastic. It was almost a shock how much better they were.
The second is... when the game downloads, the zip file has only the game name, and not the version number.
I have a LOT of games and it is hard to keep track of which version I have as it is.
I can add the version number myself but it would be better for me if you could include it.
I can be easily confused 😄.
Thank you!
Maybe I forgot to add the version, thank you for mentioning this
