Essential improvements

English translation

Both patches leave a large majority of the TIPs list untranslated.
Use Chaotic;Head
The currently recommended English fan translation patch that includes the fixes from Di-Patch on top of some additional improvements, including removing the requirement to use Locale Emulator, adding multiple alternative text font options and incorporating the Lingerie Conversion System fanservice DLC.
Use Di-Patch
Older translation patch that fixes typos and various other issues that the original English fan translation introduced.
Requires Locale Emulator.
Has since been superseded by the Chaotic;Head patch above.
