Hi everyone, new fan of the game here.

I have a question that I don't think is covered in the game guide--how random is the selection of girls who seem to show up of their own accord on the island, either immediately, or a week or two down the line? For example, I've started the game a couple times while experimenting and noticed that Alice seems to be on the island in the beginning every time, and Delizia seems to show up right away each time, but this is not the case with Desire or Ivy. Do your starting physical preferences not only affect the so-called "initial plane girl," but also everyone else to some extent (barring special characters like Jennifer, Yumiko, etc)?

It's mainly not random.
Your choices and preferences in the intro define who will be on the island in the beginning and also who will join a little later.
Based on your choices, a ranking is created and the game selects the girls based on the ranking.
There are some tweaks to make the game work and to get a better game experience.
Examples: You get at least one doctor and one massage girl. You won't only get girls with little/lower amount of content.

Ah, thanks for the quick reply, darkhound1! That really gives agency to the player to create a "unique" sandbox experience, so I salute that.

Yup. Someone asked for it and I thought it's a good idea.
Got a wee bug for you darkhound1: Heather can visit your room for sun cream and then go to the pool during the rain. She was also in her dark bikini for the event then changed to her blue bikini for rubbing the cream into her back because that's what I had her wearing at the time.

Yes, that is correct. I reported that one two months ago also: https://f95zone.to/threads/holiday-island-v0-3-5-1-darkhound1.3782/post-7705209
Darkhound reacted to it at the time but it is not in the list of bug fixes Bantry posted yesterday. So what is the status on that one? Or maybe it is not a bug :)

Is Amy bugged or something? Her affection and love doesn't go above 35
Read the Companion Guide linked on the first page. It will explain everything, including how to raise her stats. Before you ask, Amy's stats CANNOT be raised by any other means. No mods, no console codes, you have to play the game and complete her quests.

After updating I've noticed the sauna isn't unlocked and I can't get the bet with faye to trigger when having her do pull-ups in the gym in her skimpy bikini. Anyone got any ideas? I set it up as a date twice at the latest time so we'd be alone.
good to see all the responses regarding this (/s)

I’ve experienced this as well.
Faye always max stats…

scheduled an appointment…pull-ups no trigger
caught her (with others) then sent others away … pull-ups no trigger
Im guessing that we have to “catch” that one day of the week where she goes to gym and is by herself naturally … but with her getting duty as dr or massage or whatever … I’ve gone through 3+ weeks without “catching” the right time.

was this borked by an update??

An update did not BORK any of the events in the game. For starters, as it says on page 102 of the Companion Guide, you need to have Faye give you access to the shower first and then repeat the pull-ups a couple times, before you'll get her to bet and lose thus getting sauna access. If you haven't tried so already, try visiting the gym from different locations. What I mean is, save your game prior to going to the gym when you know Faye is there. Then visit the gym and follow the steps for the shower/pull ups (whichever part you're trying to get) and see what happens. No luck? Reload your save and go to a different location and save again. Then visit the gym and find Faye and try again. No time needs to pass, but arriving from a different location (like the beach instead of the pool) may be what helps you get the result you seek. Good luck.

Thanks…
and yes I used the companion guide to attempt to find the magic path to trigger the event … it’s possible I might have an older copy of guide if the fix for this issue was a recent addition to the guide. I have the shower unlocked so first thing you mentioned checked off the list.

I’ve done pull ups with her at least 4 times 3 where it was only her and I were in the gym once Jennifer was “training” so dunno bout that one … the other 3 times it was Faye max stat and no erection but starting the attempt from different locations thing I haven’t tried yet …

this exact type of issue was also preventing Yvette from triggering at reception at midnight … I think it finally worked when coming ONLY from bedroom I’m fuzzy how I finally got it to pop but it feels similar.

Any idea why i do not have the option to call girls to the island at the reception, only to send them home?
