The game's been around for four or five years and has never not been fucked. Don't hold your breath.
He's not the only one experiencing issues (although it's not as serious as fucked), and as you can see the forum is full of them.
I've always had minor issues in this game and only experience a few problems that preventing me from continuing or crashing, but all of that was solved through updates or patches.
I just downloaded the newest a few hours ago. Figured I'd start a new game since it's been awhile and one issue after another.
Talked to mom a few times and it gave me the Try on new uderwear!, did that and now all I can do with her is chat. Relationship stuck at 28, and the other options say I'm not femine enough (Try on Some Clothes!) while the other says I'm too feminine (Tease!). As far as I can tell this bug pertains to Mom and Dad only, although I stopped after about a month of ingame play because there are a few key quests at home I cannot do now IF they ever show in this state. Tried this from mas/fem 0, to 100 fem, to 42 mas, and nothing changed.
Dad is stuck at chat with Relationship locked at 33.
After getting the car and going to the city, I went to sleep, woke up in the apartment room, but as I left, I'm back in the house.
The scene after Chloe splashes you, you take a shower, and wake up in your room, the rest of the scene with the worried mom telling you Chloe brought you home never played.
Simply walking into chloes room produces an error " Error: cannot find a closing tag for macro <<if>> "
Ring doesn't work anymore.
Still find it funny that no matter what you wear (even if you're naked)or changes you make, they mean nothing to any event. That issue (although minor really) has been around since the first release.
After 20+ restarts to try and solve or skip past I've given up myself. Wish I had not deleted or overwriten my older copy.
