I have another question. The mod adds the "both" option to the game, while there are normally 2 options. When you choose this option, does the game perceive that we have chosen both options? or just one?

Just one, the creator of said mod will usually let you know which option the game will save while allowing you to view both.

If you play mutually exclusive scenes it kinda breaks the game. Some immediate flags are set or reset based on the decision, but other flags get set and stay set. Plus any RP points earned on the numerous routes are kept.

An example is, at the DIK party if you choose to go back to see Maya and the mc ends up fingering her, the "Finger Maya" flag is set which has an impact as far down as episode 6. If then, using the mod, you go back and choose to dance with Sage instead, it will clear the flag that indicates you chose Maya over the party, but it will still leave the fingered Maya flag.

I'm not going to go through and debug the entire mod, but it definitely has the potential to mangle the game. You may never realize it has happened though, since some times the effects of these flags are subtle, or something may end up being unlocked that should have been locked and you're none-the-wiser.

Hence why I'm not a fan of the walkthrough mod. It undermines the author's intentions just so completionists can see every scene. Of course everyone has the option to install the mod or not, but it's just not widely publicized as to some of the adverse effects.

As long as you avoid that, you can use the mod no problem

Actually kinda sad to see Swyper go, TBH. Lots of funny stuff there. Also, I'm hoping MC has a chance to one-off bang the other Swyper girls, like he did with Nora. Seems like a waste, otherwise.

Best to save at pivotal decisions and reload afterwards, but even then, the mod actually removes some restraints like the Quinn encounter in Ep6. Instead of her brushing the mc off when he offers help (if he doesn't meet the criteria), the game now launches into the Quinn sex scene as long as the mc offers her help (no matter what's happened in the past).

Swyper was pretty funny, like the impossible conversation with Arieth! :rolleyes: Nora didn't do much for me, but the whole Nicole arc made Swyper a great contribution, plus it gave more depth to Cathy's situation.

Yeah, but don't forget that at the end of the game you can't get all the girls by use cheat mod. Probably making abnormal choices using cheating will cause disruptions at the end of the game. If you want to see all the scenes, I understand. But if you really want to finish the game, focus on getting the girl you like the most. In my case, she's Sage.

On the first part, I assume Bella just shot down the proposed tryst (with her trademark Icy Stare) claiming that she was a married woman. We've seen that Bella has some serious issues with infidelity even when she likes the MC, so I can easily imagine her venting if Jade and Stephen made a crude pass at her.

On the second part, it's possible Jade has an ex somewhere, but it might just refer to something like a college boyfriend. The Burkes are some of the older characters, so they could have married in their twenties and still have a child Tybalt's age. I'd classify 1 year or more as a long-term relationship, so it wouldn't be surprising if Jade had a couple before she hooked up with Stephen.

usually when we talk about long-term relationships we are referring to a marriage
as engaged or girlfriend/boyfriend the bonds that keep you tied, even when the passion is gone, are still less

this past relationship could be related to the photo we don't always see during that quarrel (according to Sage theory or otherwise)

I'd be inclined to think that the point of the reveal should be the person Jade was with before Burke (married or not) and it's not that there are all these male characters to choose from ...

So how long is the gap between updates usually? Because I gotta say, this game is incredible, as close to perfect as I've ever seen a porn game.

I used to have a save that followed my main playthrough but changed a few things along the way, i.e. changing my CHICK status to Huge DIK to get the Mona/Camila scene in Ep 3 and then changing it back afterwards. But I gave it up because I couldn't be bothered playing this "chop-and-changing" save anymore.

I still find the mod useful though because it's the easiest way to unlock scenes by just loading up the game before a scene, changing some variables, and then playing through to unlock it. I don't use the "unlock all scenes" button though, because I did that before the Ep 5 update and it seems like it messes with updating the game on a clean version.

Whilst certain constraints should matter to get that scene, being able to help Quinn whilst on a Neutral/CHICK run, even if it's with the help of the mod, just feels right.

Same here. I've been known to edit my affinity to get that Jill shower scene :sneaky:.
