I loved Big Brother and some of the remakes. So much so I downloaded DAZ and tried to learn how to make the images and considered buying a new computer specifically to develop and render it.
My primary computer is a MAC and I have a HP laptop my employer gave me that sells for about $100 so I download on my MAC, save to a finger drive and plug into the HP.
I'm going crazy with desire to play this retelling but I can't even load the game. I get the following traceback message and I don't know how to fix it.
If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know.
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
Before loading the script.
Exception: Couldn't find file '._translate.rpi'.

I tried copying files from a working ren'py game (that didn't look to be BBAS specific) into the game but that didn't work.
I've tried downloading from the various options but always the same message, which makes sense as it is the same file.
In my MAC I can open the loader.py file and sure enough on line 649 is the message: raise Exception("Couldn't find file '%s'." % name) but I don't know what this really means.
If anyone has ideas on what I can do to make this playable on a crappy $100 laptop I would very much appreciate it.
