I think it would maybe make sense to lock Felicity and Emmas arrival in the Hotel behind Ashleys Friendship.
I have been playing from the start and have been taking things slow. Since someone here mentioned there are extra little bits if you get the girls stats up asap, I have been mostly levelling them as much as possible.
And I just got Felicity and Emma at the Hotel and they talk about being punished by their dad, when the scenes that they are suppossed to be punished for haven't happened yet. Ashley accuses them of trying to steal her boyfriend and they both know she means me, when they have never been told that so far.
It's not a big issue, as someone new to the game is very unlikely to encounter this and will likely see things in the right order naturally, but it might be a good idea nonetheless.
