Thank you so kindly for explaining this for me. I have tried to load a save before Monica picked up the gun and got "I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred."
So if I understand correctly your saves during your ep2 playthrough, that were a continuation from a ep1 save, worked fine and you were able to close down the program, restart and load the saves in ep2 and continue playing without any issues.

But now that you have started ep3, or at least run the ep3 program once, none of the saves in ep2 will load correctly when trying to play ep2 again. Is this what is happening?

Thank you for your response. I have not tried all the saves of ep2 only a couple. I will try all of them today and see what happens.

event log like this ???

Yes, that is how I knew what to do to play the game. Would you happen to know which is last save for ep2. Because I have tried the 1080 and 720 version of ep3? For example, could it be 71-3-LT1? If I know this, I can delete all saves after that are in the save folder and also on c drive under app data - Renpy and start this version of ep3. Thanks

which is last save for ep2
there are no last save in eps2
you just stop playing and load your last save in eps3
when you feel you have done everything
best are before you start revenge path
and you can also just start a new game and answer the questions
the game will ask you
like several others already told you

Yes, I posted a link to this save, but actually when we say that Ep2 v16 has no ending, it means that Ep2 v16 doesn't have a canonical ending that marks a new chapter in Monica's life. Ep1 has that ending, but ep2 doesn't, because it's not finished yet. And as I wrote earlier, Ep2 v16 is the first part of ep2 and current Ep3 is the second part of episode 2. So a save titled as " end of v16" only implies that it completes all the quests from most of the storylines that started in ep2 part 1 (and continues in Ep2 part 2 aka Episode 3.)

Please accept my apology.

You're probably playing some ancient version on the RPGM engine, which (from what I hear) was the basis for the original Fashion Business. As for the Renpy version, it was released on October 20, 2018.
p.s. As for "clicking on various objects", if that problem for you, there are cheats in episode 1 (as well as in subsequent episodes) that allow you to set any level of corruption and decency for Monica. For more details see FAQ.
i looked at the cheats they look like they are just adjusting some values for MC. I meant for gameplaywise, doesn't this have VN version ? Think like Anna Exciting Affection or the Office Wife. There is one version for both of them that you walk MC around the town with wasd or mouse and the other version is just VN, you only see the pictures and decisions.

All 3 episodes of FB are built on the RenPy engine, as far as "pictures and decisions only" style gameplay is concerned - episode 3 is the closest to that, simplified in gameplay sense compared to ep1 and 2. But no third-party RenPy remakes of the current Fashion Business (RenPy) exist yet. It's not an RPGM game engine, and Monica's movement around the city is instantaneous, not like in RPGM games where you have to painfully control the MC with the keyboard and lead the way to the next quest. Perhaps that's one of the reasons why no one made such a remake.

ok but this game has the complexity of dialog like A Wife And The Mother. To much different options/routes decisions too much scenes and dialog. In AWAM, it is very very long to finish the game when you consider there is no gameplay clicking objects etc. And I like to see different choices and their concequences. Tell me how can I play AWAM without skipping most dialogs with ctrl :D

I played Fashion Business episode 1 almost 2 hours and didn't get anything satifsfying content. How long does it take to finish episodes ?

i tried this game for about 20 minutes or so and i hate sandbox games and there was just too much fucking around trying to figure out what to do without a walkthrough so i basically gave up on it. nice character models though.

See FAQ and official walkthroughs at the links below.

Episode 1 is a prequel, it's not supposed to be "eventful", but it is important in terms of diving further into the story of Monica's fall. All the major events after her fall start in episode 2. A full playthrough of all three episodes (according to someone on the development team) could take over 50 hours. If you have any questions about the game, I recommend checking out the FAQ , which has a lot of useful information, including in-game cheats for those who want to "speed up" the game. In addition, I would like to draw your attention to point 1.3.3 of the FAQ.
