By hunky dory I don't mean stuff being addressed about Eric, I mean addressing of the treatment of Max because they turned on him so quickly and Alice and Ann were being bitches to him to be real. Alice takes top bitchyness but Ann comes in second especially when Eric was there. I just want some apologetic dialogue from the girls about the immediate betrayal and treatment. There is the dialogue with Ann at the balcony but it's more about her self-loathing and talking about the girls than Max but it's still something I guess, it just felt kind of lackluster.That's actually a good suggestion/addition. It would not be connected to any opportunity, just a talk at dinner or something like that.
But then many kids would complain that they should at least blow him to make up for it or Max should get to spank naked all of them at the same time or better team up with Kira in order to do so.
However, the situation was not ignored. There's Ann you can have a talk with two times when she talkes about Eric and pretty much does what you asked for with hugs and all. This will lead to progress in the Yoga opportunity in a future update.
Lisa resumed kissing lessons, I do believe that there was a word about Eric, but I am not sure about that - I might mix something up. Also the situation came up when it comes to Olivia. Lisa was worried that after Eric, Ann would not want Olivia at the house being naked.
Alice got no new conten since that situation, so maybe there will be something in the next update.
And about motherly warmth ... Ann spends way too much time whining about what a bad mother she is rather than trying to be a good mother, that's true.
btw ... I hoped Ann would not be quite as dumb in this game. But the first encounter when she saw Olivia naked: "Oh! Lisa, why didn't you give her at least your old swimsuit?" THAT was what came to her mind? Really? That she is naked because she had no swimsuit? Most people in that case would wear underwear. And of course it was way too easy for max to convince her.
I would've just liked Max to get a clear apology and thank you for what he did it would have been nice to read but he doesn't maybe even just Max being a little miffed about the attitude change and showing it, he's not even a little mad. I don't mean for Max to be like "Man fuck these bitches. They betrayed and turned on me so easily I'll show them their place." but more of a " I think I deserve an apology and a thank you from you girls, some remorse about how you treated me. I think that's fair."
And yeah...Ann is kind of really fucking dumb forreal. Alice and Max must take more after their father because I see where Lisa gets her "Smarts" from and even then it sometimes peeks through for Max and Alice too. My question is how Lisa and Ann haven't already been taking advantage of, especially with Ann's backstory. I have two ideas, either they haven't come across anyone who would by sheer luck or even before Eric came in Max has been running interference for the longest time trying to stop people from taking advantage of his family.
