Does anyone know how I can stop dating Nicole sometime in S3? And not just by rolling with Lily, I mean neither of them.
don't start dating her in the first place? :ROFLMAO:
Anyway if you don't want to start from the beginning, here is a screen of my Nicole variables where I'm dating her until end of EP11, change the true/false values to the opposite and should probably be fine like it never happened.

The RP itself doesn't need to be higher, just the percentage of the overall RP for each girl. That one there, for example, has Josy at 73% (49/67) and Maya at 83% (62/74). You could make Josy 57 and it would have a higher percentage than Maya's and then you'd get her scene.
I'm aware. I have a post earlier that goes into all the calculation details.

But if all they care about is getting Josy's scene, setting it higher than Maya is a surefire way to get it without having to explain the whole % calculation. :KEK:

Man it's like this season is begging for people to use the console... like who can even track of RP in such a specific way at this point of the game? =/

Ah well, I just want to have a separate route/save where I'm not dating anyone in the likely case that Nikita becomes an LI. Also, how to get that truth table? It's been over a year since I last played so I have kind of forgotten many of the mechanics lol.

You can date both fully up to when you have to make the choice between them, thing is that you better make sure you're not DIK affinity then the save can go for either of them and you won't have to do the whole run again.

Honestly, I think the main "problem" is that it's the penultimate episode, DPC loves drama (especially leading into a Season finale), and without the loan issue there wasn't a ton of drama remaining in the throuple other than Maya and Josy's personal issues and how others (like parents) might react to their poly relationship. It would not surprise me at all if the JM drama this episode was to keep things from getting "boring", but it does also make sense from a development and narrative perspective to focus on it now that the loan is resolved. How many of the other main girl paths had some drama this episode? I've not played them all, but I know at least a few did so the JM branch is not unusual in that regard.

From a development branching perspective, having one "path" in this Episode for multiple different outcomes in future Episodes is efficient. It's easier to just have one path this Episode where issues arise and then perhaps split into branches later on depending on the resolution than it is to have multiple branches already where on one path everything's sunshine and rainbows and on the other path there's trouble brewing. This is particularly true since there's so much other branching already in the game.

It also make sense narratively to show the issues this episode no matter what. Regardless of if the throuple can be saved or not, the issues that could lead to a breakup have been there this entire time. If it can be saved, it makes sense to show the problems and then how they are "solved" rather than to just gloss over their issues entirely. Assuming the throuple can be saved, showing issues to resolve essentially shows the reader the "bullet" they dodged. Seeing problems and then saving the relationship can lead to a feeling of accomplishment in the reader, whereas not seeing any problems in the first place would not as much.
I suppose it makes some sense that DPC might have felt the need to inject some kind of new drama into things with them since the loan issue had now been resolved, and I suppose it also does make some sense that the new drama for them is to figure out where they go from here because the MC coming along has introduced an element to their relationship they didn't think possible which has confused and complicated their feelings for each other. It's also true, I suppose, that the relationshp with all 3 hasn't really been able to develop and flourish quite so smoothly because, at first, they had to hide it and then when it got found out, there was still the loan issue hanging over everything, and now they have a real chance of making a proper go at it.

If this is just going to be all about DPC showing people there are issues in their relationship and that whether you tried to keep things even or you favored one girl, either a little or a lot, the issues also relate to his actions within the relationship with a view to allowing us the players to have chances to set things right and ultimately achieve "success" with this relationship in the end, fine, and I hope it does, but this episode still doesn't feel good from the perspective of throuple fans even with all that taken into account, especially when it railroads you into a scene with one of them the way that it does.

Of course, this is the same dev that made AL, so who knows. Maybe he'll doom the throuple path no matter what again. I've already expressed my feelings on that here though, so won't repeat myself.
Well, I'll say my piece; it would be shit. Megan & Melissa never even got off the ground in AL, we weren't in a throuple for more than a few minutes in that game. Here, we're so much more involved and it's even considered a main branch to be with both of these girls. So if DPC doesn't allow for their to be a successful path to the throuple then he's just a massive troll for doing this kind of thing twice.

Does anyone know how to get #19 render of Lily without using a mod? It's placed in the same spot as a right direction arrow, and I keep going into the next room instead of picking it up.

Now you get to enjoy the wait for Ep12 wondering where it's going to lead :HideThePain:
Mhm, and she's made quite an impression on everyone. Still in my Top 3, and got her own sig :giggle:
Well it is certainly another detail to plan new runs for. The Others path branched A LOT.

I really wasn't expecting the Heather situation to get that extreme. I need to plan a new Chick Others run to see what difference that might make.

But while I wait for ep 12 there's a 94.7% that I need to bring to a 100%.
