Shocking news, which will see many of us reacting like Monica after she gets bad news. :)

Hope DM takes some time off to recover, because he works very hard and the last thing he needs is a relapse from pushing too hard. Good things come to those who wait.

She really is our Bitchy Drama Queen isn't she.


Wish DM all the best!

EP 2.1 - Access to stranger blowjob/perry content
I saw a lot of posts out there about the same or a related problem and did some digging myself. If you are locked out because you denied the blowjob the first time you can make the "blowjob option" with the stranger reappear by changing the following variable:

Code:
store.ep214_slums_offer_activated = False
At least for me it worked. Hope it helps some other lost souls or completionists like myself. ;)
This didn't work for me. Would you kindly be more detailed on what you exactly did? What folder and such you went to? Only thing I could find is in the game quests folder. I changed To False the ep214_slums_offer_activated =
I couldn't find anything that started with store.ep214
Really confused how it tells you that if you do the scene it will end the slum interactions with the other bums and then when you choose not to do the BJ scene you can't go back to it. If I knew that would happen I would have not clicked it. Really annoying bug....

it's not in a folder
it's a console command
but you can try to edit your save on saveeditonline.com
it shall looks like this
ep214_slums_offer_activated 1/0 (0) ep214_slums_offer_day (0)

The console command didn't work for me either, but editing the save with this procedure worked perfectly, so thanks for that. Can also confirm the Gallery Mod causes issues, in my case making it impossible to complete the photoshoots. I've never had a problem with scrappy's Gallery Mod in other games, but Fashion Business is much more complex than most Ren'Py games and there's a lot more things that can go wrong, so its not worth the risk.

Can I get the entire save file for episode 2? I want a file with all the galleries open
You'd probably need multiple save files from someone who's played through every possible path, as well as all the decision branches that are mutually exclusive. Given that most people only play through paths that appeal to their tastes, that's going to be hard to find.

If you want to click through the scenes that are blurred out on your save, all you need to do is go to the /game/images/slides folder inside your Fashion Business folder (in Windows, anyway), find the relevant image and click through the scene. You won't get the accompanying text or music, but it'll let you see the scene. Might require a bit of effort though, because there's 22,112 pictures in that folder and you need to find the right ones to match the blurred images. :)

I use an image viewer with dedicated thumbnail support (FastStone Image Viewer) for this, because Windows sucks at thumbnail handling/viewing size when thousands are involved and FastStone stores a cache (after initial processing time) of higher resolution images, then lets you browse through them much faster than Windows Explorer. I use a 4K screen, so I really appreciate the difference.

There is an easy way to see everything at once.

Grumpy mode is on.
But I'll probably never understand people who don't play the game but open the whole gallery. What's wrong with them? No, I understand when some of the FB game content a conditional player deliberately doesn't go through (like slum prostitution or VIP Escort), but when without playing the game people want to open everything at once... I guess I don't understand such 'players'. Grumpy mode is off.

Thanks for that. Worked well for most scenes, but I occasionally ran into an uncaught exception error on scenes I hadn't played through. Not all - just some. Referencing the modified Achievements file may have triggered it, going by the context.

While running game code:
File "game/00_Functions/scene_controller.rpy", line 159, in script call
call show_achievements () from _rcall_sprites_action11
File "game/Quests/Question_Helper_Info.rpy", line 2234, in script call
call screen achievements_screen()


No real problem, as asking it to try and continue several times from the error screen bypassed the error and let me continue.

But I'll probably never understand people who don't play the game but open the whole gallery. What's wrong with them?
Especially when the Gallery only shows a selection of the scenes, rather than all of them. People who don't play the game will be missing several good scenes.

It's hard for me to tell, I didn't get any such errors (exceptions). I checked on missing scenes from the VIP Escort storyline, which my Monica didn't even start. Everything opens without errors. But here, of course, we need to look at the source code of the game and analyze the saves/persistent files (this is not my area of expertise).
Especially when the Gallery only shows a selection of the scenes, rather than all of them. People who don't play the game will be missing several good scenes.
The in-game FB gallery shows all the scenes that exist in the game. The only thing that sometimes you can not see there are some dialogues that precede the start of a random scene. But such "lost" dialogues are quite few.

I have not been lazy now and compared the number of scenes that shows scrappy mod and which shows in-game gallery, fully unlocked. I was comparing it using Episode 2 v 16 (1080p Extra) as an example.

Scrappy mod contains 66 scenes

In-game gallery:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Total in-game gallery contains: 769 scenes. Feel the difference.

And yes, now you know why the scrappy mod for FB annoys me. If you do something, do it to the end, but this dude clearly doesn't understand that and keeps releasing his crooked mod, believing that he's unlocked every scene in the game. No, "scrappy guy", you couldn't/won't open ALL the FB scenes.
