I'll be too busy taking college classes in my mid-thirties to walk in on them doing anything.

If there's interest, it wouldn't be that hard, despite the source code not being available, to maintain a modded version of CoT that reverses unpopular changes. I was able to decompile the game and recompile it back (took some investigation to realize which build of sugarcube it uses, and a manual fix of a decompilation issue), and the result works. The inconvenient part is that tweego produces a single 8 megabyte sourcefile instead of splitting it in some sane way, which will make version control messy. But it's totally possible.
I don't think there's anything stopping anyone from making non-con mods for CoT and hosting them on F95zone. You can also "restore" older non-con content, but I'm going to point out that my understanding is there wasn't a huge amount of non-con content before they removed it in the first place (Two... maybe Three scenes?). Honestly I'd prefer some non-con content with a switch to turn it off like other fetishes, but the developer chose to pursue the path they did as it was the path of least resistance.
parent landlord, sibling housemate, Adopted parent/sibling? (I think that appease the anti-incest rules), and the protag having sex with this person and their identical twin clone. A lot of those also have third party patches secretly done by the dev to revert those changes, though it's also something easy patch so.
I guess what I'm saying is you're right, but also I can't blame the dev for deciding to take that money and run, and censor the content to be dubcon only instead. At this point I've gotten used to game devs here doing what they can to keep monetization operating.
Sure, and it also ends my suspension of disbelief with how many protagonists in games on this site live in a family house with their

Definitely would be interested in a mod with more non con's added in.
Does anyone have a save file for completed river rat progress? I'm finding it hard to grind through that
A non-con-ish scene was released on discord. Still has the end button and there's no sad scene talking to the best friend afterwards about being forced into things so not in full.
I'm fairly certain that in one playthrough I hooked up with the roommate's bf from a bar encounter but there was no special dialogue or anything.

Bra This game is beyond ridiculous in the gameplay section; the sheer amount of repetition and in-game months required to progress some quests is mad, and there aren't enough events or things to do for those in-game months, so overall it's an empty slog just to see more bare-bones writing. And the worst part is I can't even roleplay as a big-dick trap due to how weirdly all those genders, pronouns, and preferences are set.

Regardless of whether it's rape or not, I wish CoT had things to worry about or actively try to avoid so that it could be more like a game. There's almost no pressure, consequence, or lasting effects for anything, and the only goal is to find new content. Maintaining your needs is trivial, making money is trivial, and getting perfect grades is trivial. Rather than a lifesim, it overall feels more like some sort of grindy CG hunter except the CGs are purely in text form. The only true resource in the game is your patience, and you simply spend those patience points to raise money, level skills, or go through the motions of the near meaningless quasi-lifesim busy work to let time pass so that you can see more scenes or extended variants of the same scenes.
The new update is one of the mildest of all, not to say that it doesn't bring more than clothes and a few other things (spending money on NPCs and birthdays) and the rest didn't add much else, to be honest. Not having a game on patreon as promised is kind of boring, and I speak from the point of view that I contribute my dollar to the game and I have it. But it's getting a bit boring, to be honest. It needs some spark or magic to draw you in again.

Good observation, but I would like to disagree in parts. The devs always have surprising twists and funny ideas that you look for in vain elsewhere. At least they don't try to jump from one cliché to the next. I'm an absolute fan of this game because of all the funny little ideas. Still, I am somewhat frustrated because a lot of good plot threads are not continued (D&D path, media production lab, streaming or streaking or skimpy clothes vs reputation (?), special tasks for professors vs reputation (?), content of study courses and life outside the courses in general (???), study subjects and influence on game progress (???), jobs and influence on game progress (???), promiscuity and game progress (???).
The worst thing so far is that consequences of reputation for anything are hardly recognizable. This is due to the fact that the individual plot threads are not recognizably related to each other. Studying, streaming, jobs - everything happens in isolation.
I don't mind a lack of inter-connectivity. It can lead to an incestuous tree of development hell, but I do agree it feels like we're starting a ton of things without any sign of finishing them in sight.
It can be argued they want to get the systems down first before really committing to any story, but it's hard for me to have faith when it doesn't feel like they show any interest in continuing these paths they've laid down.
This might be in the realm of just making shit up, but sometimes I feel like the devs get off to the systems they're building more than the porn. I feel like there's so many avenues they've created that are ripe with just slotting in more porn, but they want to make more systems instead.

it's a sims game with porn, in the sims you make your family and keep having children till you create a huge family tree, i dont see how the devs can create some sort of pressure other than the mom's payment, without including some sort of mafia a la summertime saga, or some fantasy a la DoL, maybe they need to create a short main story you can complete and after that you roam the game having sex or working in what you like, the game is great as a simple life sim that ends when you want
Any chance for some of the mods, like the pregnancy mod, to get updated to work in the newer versions of the game ?

The problem is in the structure of the game itself, not necessarily the difficulty. Making it difficult to maintain your needs would still not fix the problem that there aren't enough uniquely generated *storylines* that make it worth playing. It doesn't matter how many randomly generated characters are made with their own unique features if those characters aren't able to take part in extended storylines. Think about it this way, if the amount of generated NPCs you could interact with was reduced to ones in specialized roles (like admirer, bully, best-friend, etc), there could probably be a lot more depth added as each character's storyline progressed throughout the semester. Shallow progression with hundreds of NPCs just seems like a massive bugfixing headache down the line.

This is a very common occurrence in life sim games on here. They're often very wide in terms of features but very lacking in terms of depth of content. Stuff like adding descriptors for the minutiae of everyone's physical features is rendered pointless when those aspects of characters don't apply to the story much. Same thing with all the inclinations, which mostly just serve to modify stats and make it easier/harder to juggle the needs values.
If you look at games like Dwarf Fortress, Rimworld, or even the Sims, you'll find that the most memorable moments that players chase are the ones where a storyline is created. Systems like inclinations, needs, and the appearance descriptors should exist for the sake of telling stories, not to serve as statjuggling minigames that space out h-content. The h-content and scenes should be woven into the standard gameplay loop.
The lack of noncon scenes isn't a big issue imo, especially for games like this they break immersion since it just makes serious events like rape a mere inconvenience. What needs to be there are more scenes that build off or connect to each other. If that means pruning a bunch of dead end scenes that have planned content coming Soon™ then so be it. Just focus on a core bunch of scenes with multiple variants depending on the different game states that are relevant narratively, and build more scenes off of each other.
