I figured that; Ashley's trip to the cabin and her party were both great, and happened after she'd resolved her first major character arc.
As for the lewd stuff, I agree those need to flow organically. Lin & Android makes sense pretty early, as does Emma & Felicity, for example, but a Kali & Autumn threesome is going to require a whole lot more groundwork before it makes sense.
I'd also like to see little interactions between the girls on the periphery of a scene. For example, as you're walking through the lobby on your way somewhere with Kali, you walk past Maria and Android sitting on the couch together, watching TV. Or an event where you're taking Lin out to the park, and Maria and Emma ask you to give them a lift to the gym for their workout. Or seeing Kali, Lucia and Moon going to the hot spring together (or Kali, Lucia, Maria and Hana, who all live about fifty feet from one another). Or when you knock on Ashley's door to start an event, you go into her room where she's been trying on new clothes with Felicity, who excuses herself when the event starts. Just little touches that show these girls are spending time together as friends even when you're not around, and you're just catching little glimpses of them doing so.
I've also got to ask, because I'm curious; was the Goth Ashley outfit (which looks great) intended as a compromise to get people to stop asking about Juliet? Sort of a "here's a pretty little Goth chick for you, you degenerates, now stop asking about a background character I've no interest in expanding"?
