That girl's parents probably found her name in a rare names book, idk.
You never know. The male form generally made its way into the US as Felix, which is also a pretty uncommon name these days. I did go to school with an Estelle, though. We all felt bad for the girl who had an old woman's name when she was 16.

The house matches, none of the women do.

We know the names of all three of Lynette’s friends. None are called Amelia which we know is Jill’s mothers name.

Jill’s mother isn’t Lynette’s “best friend” as far as we know. Nothing has indicated they even know one another. There’s other explanations for the house.
It's probably just wishful thinking, mate. At least he didn't bring in that destiny bullshit into it, as if MC and Jill are destined to be together.

Most likely option is that Lynette's dad owned the mansion, but ended up selling it to the Royces (as it's mentioned in the diary that her dad indeed sells their house).

Since I started playing BaDIK close to 3 years ago, I have replayed the game many times, mostly to have a CHICK, DIK, and neutral playthrough. But after THE CHOICE at the end of episode 8 made some of my previous playthroughs quite problematic, I am doing another series of playthroughs, with my focus now leading up to all of the big end-of-chapter-8 decision options.

Playing the game is always enjoyable, but I'd prefer not to have to spend days of my life setting up for episode 9. I know the story so well that I skip most dialogues and even lewd scenes, but the minigames, free roams, and phone games (to keep your cash flow going) are a bottleneck, as they require a fair amount of time and focus. What this game needs is a save creator or something, but I don't see one on the landing page, and there are so many choices that only a colossal save creator could capture everything. I see there is a "skip mod," which was last updated in April 2021, which would likely help at least somewhat, but I'm wondering if this mod will break my saves. If this mod, like other mods, breaks saves then using it would completely cancel out my whole reason for using it in the first place, and I would be forced to replay everything yet again.

Some other kind players out there have provided saves, and I tried those, but unfortunately they all contain at least a few (mostly minor) choices that I would prefer not to have in my playthroughs.

Has anyone else tried the skip mod? Did it break your saves? Any other suggestions for how to streamline this process?

Can't be as bad as a kid that was in my class in elementary school that was named Stalin (this happens in the first years after the fall of USSR, so those kind of names weren't that uncommon then). We split up after elementary school and I have no idea what happened with him, but I'm assuming he changed his name at one point.

It did work perfectly like 2-3 updates ago, but I haven't tried it since. I used it once during the first HOT mansion free roam because it annoyed the hell out of me and it was working fine and I never had any problems with it.

So tell me: who took the picture?

her 2 friends came to see her, then they go to the cinema and meet MC's dad. Then we see Lynette ending the story with this picture in her hands (picture with her 2 friends).
Now, who took the picture? I guess it was taken by someone living in that mansion. Remember: as Jill says, EVERYTHING around that mansion is Royce's private property. They weren't allowed to be there unless they were invited.

You guess... you guess it was taken by someone that is living in the mansion? That isn't actually proof.

You're making a boatload of assumptions. Firstly, Who's to say it even is the Royce's home? Houses can be bought and sold. They change hands. The house is currently theirs but who's to say it was back then? Also, given (in your scenario) the 3 people in the photo don't live in the mansion who are we to assume the mythical fourth person does?

There's other explanations like I said. How about the house belonging to Miranda (the red head). That way the photo is of her and her friends on her property. The fact it changes hands to the Royces even makes some sense given Miranda is the spitting image of Bianca (Jill's childhood friend) and they share a necklace.

You have no proof of anything, you're guessing. Theories are nice, it's like 80% of what we do here but don't call them facts.

Let's delve into dalli_x territory with this one. Why would the house be such a focal point, but only really be relevant on the Jill path? Because banging Jill will likely get MC access to the house. Why would that matter? Something he finds in the diary.

A clue to recovering, perhaps, something of significant value from the house, even if it's just a copy of his birth certificate (or hers) that gives him solid proof of who his family actually is? A buried safe that she knew the combination to, that was covered in renovations before the Royce family moved in? An actual fat stack of old cash in a nice bundle that's hidden behind the air duct in the basement on a supporting i-beam?

What could it be?!
(edit: While I am being sarcastic, this could be the key to MC's real wealth being revealed, so he absolutely gets to rub it into Tybalt's face. He's better looking, he's more well hung, he's legitimately nicer to Jill, and he's filthy fucking rich, something Tybalt only plays at being).
it is interesting that an MC who has not courted Jill, at least until the picnic, cannot recognize the house in any way, but then again even if he has been there he still does not recognize it, at least the first time he sees the photo

this leads me to think that in the end it will still be Jill directly who will recognize the photo by somehow becoming aware of it, the road to discovering the "truth" about Lynette will still have to go through Jill, hopefully nothing too unnecessarily dramatic

the only thing we know about Lynette is that because of her father she has had to move house often, which leads me to two considerations:
  • the house in the picture could be Lynette's house at that time
  • how close could the friendship between Lynette and the other girls be if she was constantly moving?

Jill said: "this is where I grew up". Lynette eloped with MC's dad soon after they met and she got pregnant.

Man, you've just written that you think that Bianca's mom was MC's mom best friend. So tell me: why do you think that Jill's mom wasn't Lynette's friend? (remember: Jill told MC that Bianca is her friend because their families are acquaintances).

In this damn game every damn Rich family is acquainted with every damn rich family. The Royces are acquainted with Lynette's family. I bet she knew the Burgmeisters too.

I'll stick to the theory that Bianca will be the key for we and MC discover who was his mother. This is one of the main plots so it can't be tied just to Jill path. Probably Jill will introduce MC and Bianca in the non-Jill branches too.

Bianca, however, is even more connected to Jill in the story, without dinner at her friends' house MC has no idea who she is (the reverse is not)

Yeah, i wonder if she can got a interest in MC during the recital and ask Jill who is the guy that save her recital.

Either way, MC and Jill are good friends when we don't pursue her. Because of that i hold my breath that Jill can be a bridge to MC and Biaca, if she will be a relevant character for the main story. We'll see.

Because I have an in-game photograph of Miranda and Lynette next to each other. She explicitly calls her her "best friend". I then freely admit it is a THEORY that Miranda is Bianca's mother based on the fact they're the absolute spitting image of one another and they share an identical necklace. I'm using in game evidence to suggest a theory.

This is opposed to your idea (that you're presenting as fact) where Lynette has never been seen with Amelia, has never said anything regarding Amelia and her only link is a photograph in a location Amelia has spent time in.

Also, we don't know when the photograph was taken and saying you grew up somewhere doesn't mean it was from birth. The diary entry says it came from a photo album Lynette was given. There's no evidence that photo is recent beyond their similar appearances. Viv and Miranda visit Lynette in her new home. It's safe to assume it was taken before she left for the new home. There's time for the Royce home to change hands between whenever that photo was taken, her moving house, her meeting Neil and her getting knocked up and giving birth. Jill could have actually been born into that home without it belonging to the Royce's when then photo was taken. She's only 3 years older than the MC.

For the record... I'm not saying I don't believe Jill's mother knew Lynette. I'm saying there's no proof thus far. My issue (and other peoples) is you claiming it to be a known fact. It isn't.

This is not dalli_x. :rolleyes:

My MC is not fucking Jill and is not on his way to her. Besides, the MC has the picture with the house in the background and would recognize it if he were standing in front of it.:p

How could he get there? The MC helps Jill with her concert, and Amelia is in the audience. The Royce family invites the MC, Maya, Josy, and Derek to dinner because the MC made Jill's dream come true. This would also clear up the Maya preview. You need something nice to wear if you're already invited to the Royces' house. :unsure:

The MC doesn't need to find a birth certificate or a safe. He has a contact person and can also ask who the previous owners were. The Royces should know the name of the previous owners if they bought the mansion. :rolleyes:

If it has always been the Royce mansion, the Royce will know Lynette because there is a photo of Lynette making an ass of herself in front of the mansion.:ROFLMAO:

Are you saying it because Lisa is brunette Jaye :Kappa:
They are similar, but Jaye's model seems to take parts from others as well, while also being heavily modified.

To be honest, Lisa's model reminds me a lot of Bella's. They are similar, but Bella's extensively modified.

Maybe I do have something for girls that look like Bella and Jaye. :ROFLMAO: :Kappa:

I agree with you, so there is no proof that Lynette and Amelia knew each other. (y)
But someone must have taken the photo?:unsure:
Yes. It could have been them. It could merely be a camera on resting on a fence post, with a timer. It could be any number of things. Having it be this magical invisible Amelia is simply impractical to draw from what's presented. If she was such a good friend you'd think they'd have mentioned here when the three of them (Lyn, Miranda, and Viv) were out on the town, or virtually at any point before this in the diary when she mentions her friends.

Lisa IS Quinn; Lisa is the boss, Bro
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

So people could say "Bye, Felicia" to her during her whole life? man, that's cruel :cry:
It IS cruel, because the quote from the movie is literally "Bye, Felisha", so not only does she get a life-long repetition of a stupid quote, it's being assigned incorrectly based merely on the phonetics. That poor girl.

As for Lisa...
Second best girl in Chasing Sunsets. After Jaye The Goddess, of course. :love:
Are you saying it because Lisa is brunette Jaye :Kappa:
Thank you! The only differences that I see between Jaye & Lisa are the hair and eye colors(brown/blue vs. red/green). I'm half wondering if the Crucible stuff didn't start even earlier, and there's a touch of not quite cloning action going on with those two as well.

However, if this Lisa were to slip into a B&R party with her friend, I, uh.. I'd be really glad my main save is the Others path.

Why not? You know it was inevitable! Not a chance that his effort would be wasted. I don't think even a zombie apocalypse could have prevented an NTR post from happening here.
It wasn't meant like that I loved it :ROFLMAO: It was just waaay too fast to be originally intended to me ;)

I don't even get this whole NTR bullshit... knowing you are lurking on a pirated PORN ( game ) site dealing with porn all the time... so WTF is the big deal here ?!? :oops: Guess most of those who have this issue missed the target when they decided they would explore the land of porn :KEK:
