Ok thanks for the answer guys, well that suck also did anyone know if Maim Lain recent 16.2 update is stable and finished
No idea regarding stability…
However on a side note running ANY mod will cause these types of occurrences to pop up from time to time. Often the ONLY answer is to post the “bug” or problem into the threads of the various mods and wait for an update … however that creates a significant lag time between the “latest version” of HH and a stable modded version of HH.

So by using mods you put yourself into the place you are in right now.

It’s a chasm of meh.

One side being unmodded latest version with the least amount of bugs.

The other side being an older version with whatever it is that makes you want to use X mod (whether it’s a money cheat or extra scenes or enhanced tips or whatever)

The key to remember is that YOU choose your side of the chasm and that YOU bear it’s benefits, costs, and/or problems.

What will NEVER happen is the dream that causes these questions in the first place which is for the Latest version with X mod “Stable & Finished”

I would expect 16.2 versions of mods to be great right now on 16.2 versions of the game but only because ver 17 of HH is due out almost immediately.
After some unknown interval (between 2 days and 6months) a modded version of ver 17 will probably be mostly stable again.

The joys of an ever moving target.

Imo I prefer to run un-modded until a game is “completed“ unless it’s an absolute necessity. Fortunately HH is well done enough that the mods while nice they aren’t a necessity.

Something to think about because in a couple days us without mods will have ver 17 in our hot little un-modded hands … :love:
and so will the Mod folks (but theirs will throw up the broken bits) … just a cost of running with mods.

Yeah not appreciate it man, you didn't answer my question and just reiterate what c3p0 said with unnecessary detail and turn it into a long read, what i want to know since Runey change a lot of the early game in recent update is if Lain new mod for this game after more than a year is up to date and the walkthrough is accurate not whenever i should or shouldn't play unmodded, i know, i already play this game for a few years and someone already told me the consequences in less than 10 paragraph

Lain is not the person that works on the mod for this game anymore, and has not worked on it for a long time.
Lain abandoned it.
c3po's response did answer your question by telling you to go to LordAshrams mod thread.
"Go in Lord Ashram tmod thread and ask there"
It is LordAshram that has kept the mod alive, "EXCEPT" for the mod for version 16, because he was going through cancer therapy. And since Runey changed so much of the earlier scenes in the game, LordAshram has been playing hell catching up, and he is still not 100% well.
Especially, since LordAshram worked on mods for a lot of other games, and Harem Hotels mod is a far more complex mod.
Since so much was changed in the early game, along with the complexity, and LordAshrams health, the mod for version 16.2 may never be finished to a bug free state. Since version 17.0 will soon be released here, which also has more older content that has been changed according to Runey, so working more on version 16.2 would be a waste of time.
And any kind of an ETA for a mod for version 17.0 would be impossible to give, because of the above stated reasons.

If you have questions about the mod, go to LordAshrams mod thread.

Did I encounter bug with Moon and Maria? I've just replaying the game to refresh my mind and I'm stuck at relationship lvl 4 of Moon and I didn't even spank her. On Maria's case didn't she was supposed to work for the bar I didn't got that scene anymore. Anyway I could fix this?
Yap and also it was stated the "I should wait till evening" but nothing happens
Yeah, it says weekday evening, Maria needs the bartender outfit, and you might need to have trained Moon. Can't remember if she needs the catgirl outfit.

She did put out a new one not too long ago, it's here not too far back. It's up in the air who will do it going forward, or if it will be needed at all. We will have to wait and see what happens in the next update, and how much the phone and calendar change things.

I completely missed that post of it being released again by lain, and it never got added to the OP, but because of the abandonment, I completely gave up using any mods except for gallery unlocking mods.

OK, I just looked and saw the announcement that Lain was returning to working on mods, but there was no posted mod.
Which explains why I could not find it posted in the OP.
As you mentioned, Runeys planned cellphone feature that will be in the new version, may just make mods for Harem Hotel pointless.

Here are the links...

https://f95zone.to/threads/harem-hotel-expanded-mod-lains-walkthrough-mod-v0-16-2-maid-lain.19954/

It will make the walkthrough part unneeded, but the parts that add the removed content (like the old exhibitionism scenes or the succubus) back, those could still be fun to have at some point, and maybe less of a problem, without the hints.

I think the thing to remember is, even if the v0.16.2 version of the mod was made to fully function with the game, v0.17 of HH is right around the corner. The moment the update comes out the mod will no longer work, and we'll have to deal with the onslaught of players wondering why their saves aren't working until the mod is updated to v0.17. Also, remember that each game update is usually followed by one or two bugfix patches causing even more problems with the mod creators. This is why Lain would typically wait until those patches came out before releasing her mod (assuming the rumors are true and she's returning).

The safest thing for everyone to do is try to play HH without the mod for a while. If you decide to add the mod later, that's okay because you will (hopefully) have a vanilla save backed up should there be problems with the mod later.

Oh, haven't played the game myself and from the thread I didn't see any link to a gallery mod so I thought it doesn't have one.

So, I just need a save file and I can browse the gallery without playing it, that right?
I suppose you could, but I think you'd miss out on how rich the storyline is when actually playing the game.

You also could decompile the game altogether and use only the picture, but as others already pointed out, why then this game and not simple one of 999 image galleries on the net?

You asked the same question twice.

The first time the answer was … go ask in mod thread.
The second time you asked the same question I provided more detail because you are to thick to understand that the answer is the same.

I even shared experience that demonstrates that at this point in time your question is … bad (twice).

Specifically that we are at the point where the mod makers have had the full 6 month window to polish up all the mods for 16.2 so if they aren’t working by this point its a problem without a solution because the focus will soon be on 17.

Thank yall, downloading the game right now:4Head::4Head::4Head:
You will probably be dl-ing again in ~week unless you went and supported Runey.(to DL ver 17)
Very soon ver 17 will drop and if you are DL-ing now you are getting 16.2.

Regardless of version you will enjoy the game!

From the current version(16.2)
you can pick up the incremental update next (which is usually available)
when you DL the 2nd time (which may be available next week).

OH damn... I'll just wait for the incremental update to 1.17 (the update sounds huge BTW)

Thanks for letting me know!
