Any way to unlock all the bonus contents?

 

[Chucke1992]

Very few.

I see. So, then, what the optimal character paths to get the most of content?

You have to replay a few times as some endings exclude each other. Or use the gallery unlocker.

Please stop answering without reading. WE HAVE SAVED! It is not finding the save!

then you didn't either play to end or something bugged and no that save made, either replay end of week 1 again and try to get that save or answer to questions about what you did (i did that).

I just played through the latest version of week 1 and wasn't able to transfer my savegame to week 2 as well, so I looked further into the issue and noticed that the endgame save of week 1 actually gets successfully written into the multipersistent save file in %APPDATA%\RenPy\persistent\FetishLocator, but unfortunately it gets overwritten with an empty copy when you start the new week 2 game. In my case, the file size got reduced from about 5 KB to barely a 100 Bytes. This happens during the initialization of the FetishLocatorSaveSystem class, so the endgame save from week 1 is already lost by the time you get to see the main menu of week 2.

Took me a while to track the exact location of the bug down but I haven't found a fix for it yet. I'm not that proficient with Python or Renpy, maybe someone else can find a solution for this or forward my findings to the dev.

However, in that case it should be possible to circumvent the issue, at least in theory (do at your own risk, I am not paying any compensation for lost love)

(1) Save FL 1 final save
(2) locate the persistent save file and rename it (e. g. change the type to backup or similar)
(3) boot up FL 2
(4) rename the persistent back, delete any newly created one

That was my first thought as well, but that doesn't work unfortunately. The FetishLocatorSaveSystem class only checks for the week 1 saves during the initialization phase (when it empties the file), so changing it back while the game is already running won't have any effect. The game will still think there aren't any saves from week 1.

To choose the characters that you will actually like the content.
The only mutual exclusive characters are:

You can choose 2 between Maria (Sharing), Min (Watersports and romance) and Lyssa (Trans and romance)

The other group is Daisy (MaleDom) and Dahlia (FemDom)

Lastly there is NTR Lydia (NTR and both Femdom ending and MaleDom ending) and LC Lydia (Cuckquean and vanilla romance content, and Harem ending)

well answer questions then, doubt there'll be fix.

you can try to make that save read only and see if that helps.

Which gallery unlocker?

With version 10.0.60 I also did not work, but I had somewhere else old 10.0.40 and from it I was able to transfer saves to the second week. In the folder persistent also at startup overwrote the file FetishLocator, at the moment I managed to transfer files and now there are two files FetishLocator and FetishLocator 2. What helped me exactly do not know, maybe rollback to an older version, maybe it was necessary to play a little in the second game. Now with a successful transfer the FetishLocator file weighs 5kb, and FetishLocator 2 weighs 1kb.

I downloaded Fetish.Locator.W1.EXTENDED.v1.0.60.-market, and for some reason I already have bunch of stuff unlocked in Gallery, Reply Room and Bonus Content. How I can reset that to clean slate ?

Go to (USERNAME)\AppData\Roaming\RenPy, find the FL1 folder and delete it. Or better rename it in case there is more changed than you wanted, so you can restore it.

Saw these posts and tried your suggestion to make the file read only. The game will force close because it detected the file as read only.

The point is not that we can do it as if we had not played the first week. The point is that the function is Broken.

Sending both files made at that time.

Thank you for actually looking into this.

I wonder if this inability to load week one is a trap coded in to check for piracy. I did notince in the log file I uploaded a few days ago a reference to Steam.

well very few devs approve that their content is uploaded here.

anyways answering those easy questions can play week 2 and on week 3 can use autosave.

Game's decent but it is pretty vanilla, there are not many fetishes. It is mostly urination.

there are plenty of fetishes, you just haven't unlocked those.
