IF you are on PC, you don't have to do anything, though you can copy your save folder (HaremHotelXX\Games\Saves) and your screenshots. Though the PC has a backup folder in your system files.
Personally, I don't like to rely on that though.
Does it make a difference if the version 17.2 is modded? My version of 18.2 did not find the saves and when I moved the save folder into 18.2 they don't work.
Is it possible to just overwrite 17.2 with 18.2?

What mods were you using? Older versions of the walkthrough mod were really bad in that regard but I thought newer ones had fixed that.

It's also possible you saved at points in the game that weren't "safe spots" so to speak, and future modifications in the scenes/events can make those saves give you a lot of errors. Many of my old saves can't load properly in 0.18.2 without some rolling back or skipping error messages.

For future reference, the safest place to make saves on is in your hotel room. If you still have v0.17.2 installed, try making a save there and then making the move to v0.18.2.

I don't know about the specific mod you are using, but generally speaking mods can make save files not usable with unmodded games.

Also, have you ever played a BETA release? Saves made with BETA releases of Harem Hotel typically are NOT usable with stable releases.

Why would you want to overwrite one version with another? Just delete the old version. At least on PCs (Windows and Linux), but probably also on Macs, the save files are stored in two locations to make this work without losing your saves. If for some reason you need to manually preserve the save files (e.g. new PC and not played the game on it yet), just move the subfolder game/saves to some other location, then delete 17.2, unpack 18.2, and then move subfolder game/saves back over the new one.
Overwriting often works without issues, but it can easily lead to severe problems. Not just if you originally had a mod that breaks things if you don't update it. A lot of minor ways in which a developer might change the organization of the game can break if you do this.

Never overwrite the folder, unless you get the 'update' version, and for that to work you have to have the older one.
The best way to do this is to get the full one, extract it to a new folder, then copy over your saves and screenshots and whatnot.
TheDevian i hope you see my post as can you unblock me from discord server so i can join
I saw your last one, and like I said then, I have no power to do that, I am not an admin on that server. I have the same ability to ban or unban someone on that server as you do.
As I said before, the only way around that would be ask Runey or make a new account (what most people who get hacked end up doing).

Are you using a MOD? I've only had that Issue (uncaught exception occurred) once, just re-downloaded it and hadn't seen it at all since.
I had the game before but deleted it, cleaned up the roaming file and downloaded the latest verison. used winrar to extract it.

Windows version on v18.2
Extracted on C:\users\downloads
Winrar
First, I would move it out of your user folder, you don't want to use a system folder for these things. Try something like C:\Games\

Did you get the full version of 18.2, or the update? (if you are not sure, how big is the zip file?)

I got the full version of 18.2 from gofile. zip shows 12.3GB

TheDevian Chunl323 also reported a similar problem today trying to play MILfy City.
The issues might be linked.
You can see it in their message logs.
I see. Then if moving the folder out of the system folder doesn't fix it, then it could be a driver or codec issue maybe.

Oh, it was the bool error, yeah, I think that was drivers, but I can't remember now.

Could have also been related to the game being in a system folder.

If that is the case, is sounds like the persistent file got corrupted or something. Very odd.
