The biggest money sink is Jacob's art, but since it is persistent across all playthroughs, you don't have to buy it all at once. Quinn's restaurant could also be a money pit, but I ignore it since there are scenes with all of those girls in other ways and SanchoGallery. I have used the console to cheat money a few times, but with the free roam guides, nerd payments, and minigame cheats, it was out of convenience instead of necessity.

For Season 1 / Season 2 - If you want to start from scratch, like you've never played before you need to do two things:

Delete your persistent file from both the "game/saves" directory AND "AppData/Roaming/RenPy/BeingaDIK-1535311494".

Alternatively you can delete those folders entirely which will remove the persistent files and your old saves.

The above is the same if you plan on playing modded or unmodded... it's a reset, removing all known RenPy hard personal data that the VN was ever played before.

Hey, Sancho1969 . I have played the entirety of seasons 1 and 2 with your mod, a great addition I must say. The problem is that I've been getting errors with chapter 9. I could play the Interlude, just couldn't advance. I tried using the save fixer in the OP, but it didn't work. Am I doing something wrong? Once again, congratulations on your work.

Code:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

That's not the mod, you're missing OEM (original VN) images. It appears you have mod installation to VN versions mixed up. Remember, version numbers must match exactly VN and mod. In other words insure your installing SanchoMod v0.9.1 inside VN v0.9.1.

If I were you I'd start my Season 3 installation from scratch. Install v0.9.1 of the VN (either original or compressed doesn't matter) then inside that VN's "game" folder copy all the contents of SanchoMod's S3 v0.9.1 inside. Report back please so I can further assist as needed.

I know SanchoSplits doesn't really affect choice/ending in the grand scheme of thing, only gives more options. But is it possible to disable it? Thanks...

You don't have to choose the split option. If it's something like "go with Jojo" or "go with Maya" and a SanchoSplit is offered, you could just choose Jojo and move on.

The above post by deuxrayme exactly. If you don't want to see the SanchoSplit choices they are tied to the ChoiceGuide. So, if the ChoiceGuide is toggled Off then you won't see any SanchoSplits. Otherwise simply don't select them during your playthrough. It's not mandatory of course. The only thing inside SanchoMod currently that is NOT toggle enabled is the SanchoHotKeys (due to RenPy limitations) so you have to deal with my preferences on those keys... screenshots use "Shift+s" or "Alt+s" for those picky screenshot folks that bitch at me from time to time... it is what it is. :ROFLMAO:

I should add that if you don't want to see SanchoSplits and toggle the ChoiceGuide "Off", then you must do so BEFORE the choice menu appears. It's a RenPy limitation since menu boxes aren't populated or changed in real time (other than the text inside them, there's nothing I can do about that). So, if the player has ChoiceGuide "Off" before the choice menu ever appears then they will not see a choice menu box for the SanchoSplit.

I hope that makes it more clear how it works behind the scenes... for what it's worth. RenPy still has it's quirks but it's way better than it was 2 or more years ago.

I will disable ChoiceGuide then. Just my pain-in-the-ass OCD wanting the "perfect" play-through with every single dialogue happens in the exact order that DPC intended. Thanks, everyone (y)

Bud, I get it. The whole point of me coding the mod the way I did is so that I could personally select only those features I want for a particular VN. Because of that you get the same choices... play how you want to play. The whole point is to set and forget... forget that a mod is even installed... that the VN is just like you prefer so you can be then immersed into the story the dev is trying to tell. That's how a VN should be enjoyed in my opinion anyway, hopefully any one of the many features of the mod gets you closer to that point.

Good morning. You guys kill me. In possibly hundreds of playthroughs of S1/S2 I've never ever needed additional money. If you don't like a particular minigame then use it's SanchoCheat for it (Tests, Brawler, etc). If I find time I guess I'll code something simple to allow the player to have up to 4 or 5 if they have less than that currently (to insure you don't break anything that might be important later in S3). No promises, I still have VN's to update and tricks to pull off for the S3 mod (yeah, I have a few more ideas but that's for another day). Regards.
what are the cheat options, can you edit love points of the girls, money, dik or chick points etc? :unsure:

I was going to take a screenshot of the cheat menu to share it, but it caused an error. I loaded a save from the end of the episode, rolled back one screen and hit 'c' to bring up the cheat menu and got the error in the attached traceback. It doesn't happen if I hit that key on the screen loaded though.

Anyhow, this is how it looks for the others path, for an example of what can be changed, I click on the orange 'Others' and I can change it to Isabella as seen below

Depends on the Season (two separate mods with different features). See OP's "GUI/Features S1/S2" and "SanchoCheats S1/S2" for pic representations (both those in the SanchoCheats screen and the MiniGames while in-game).

Bud, that issue was resolved. See update post here. Simply re-DL the mod and install over the existing installation. You'll be good to go.

I have the December 28 version from Mega that I downloaded today before making that post installed. The problem doesn't exist on the screen loaded from a save but if I rollback, it happens.

I won't have the problem in gameplay, because I have no reason to do those rollbacks on my completed runs.

That's the thing, in the pictures of the op I can't see if there is an option to + or - love points, dik or chick points etc
it doesn't show if we can change money either so I don't know if you added it either. :unsure:

What deuxrayne showed is that we can change affinity but what about the points?¿

You can change the DIK affinity by clicking on the word like I said with the branch. The status can be changed using the white bar under the score. Money is not an offered cheat as has been stated many times in this thread.
