Hello everyone. Having sunk several days worth of playtime into this gem of a game, I have sadly reached a piece of content that I wish I could do without, namely, the 'forced' content with Emily. Unfortunately, you have to follow her path to gain access to renovating your own house and you have to start some form of a sexual relationship with her. I don't know whether it is her character, her age compared to the MC, her mooching of the MC's money/influence just like she mooched off his "guardian", the fact that her hair looks like straw or just my own distaste for MILFs in general, but I personally find Emily utterly unattractive and even slightly repulsive.
However, I do not mean to be disrespectful, truly. I searched through 50 pages of results, I know she has many fans too and I respect their desires and preferences. Also, I don't "hate" her, I'd certainly have the MC help her out, if only to help save her daughters from destitution. She just isn't my cup of tea sexually.
On page 1171 of this thread it is mentioned that a 'platonic' option for her is on the table, with another rework update. My question for anyone who might know, is this development still in consideration? If so, what kind of rework update is meant there? Some years away update for Emily or just the next update in general? I gritted my teeth and finished building the orphanage, so I could just stay away forever from her now on, but I'd revert to a previous save and even consider a full restart if a 'legitimate' option to avoid her will available any time (relatively) soon.
