Too bad you're having so many issues
Moxines , even after starting all over new.
Sorry I can't help you. I totally overlooked your statement of using the Hardcode mod. I don't use that, so my post offered no solution for you unfortunately.
I am still struggling with basic things like how to get the girls wear multiple outfits (so they don't use the same 1 everytime) and tried a lot but failed everytime. Saving as new cards, updating them/ whatever: whenever I change them they'll swap into the last ones I saved and stick to that.
Just as like I try to get 4+ girls on the island (setting in options is at 6 right now) but no clue on how to do it. The pods don't give me any option to add 1 over the 4 total.
Overall I really like this game (may not seem that way because of the issues I report). It looks great and I love the AI-mechanics.
Got some interesting characters I've 'built' through the method I posted before and enjoy watching them develop.
I've built myself 2 full glass houses so I can keep track of the girls easily. Before I had the huge 2 story house from the uploader but I kept losing track of them in that place (with all those different rooms and solid walls).
Edit: Oh yeah and one more thing: although the latest translations are perfect I 'hate' it that the girls seem to have a lot to tell during echi. Some of them keep rambling along and it kinda bums me out not knowing what they're japping about all the time.
(Might be time for a Japanese language course for me.
