I agree, this is a great update!
Also, I just re-read the first thirty pages of the guide, which is really well-written, and I strongly recommend it to new players.
Bantry - you should give yourself a "byline" at the start of the guide, because you don't give yourself enough credit as is. Your forum avatar appears toward the end of the document, but I hope you'd consider adding your name to the very beginning, because it's apparent a ton of work went into it.
Anyway, on re-reading the guide, I learned a couple things I didn't know -- in particular, why I might want to invite Faye to my island. So now I'm trying to figure out if I should ask a girl to leave so that I can invite Faye, and if so whom. I've always had the same 9 girls on my island: Amy, Yvette, Aly (my plane girl), Jessica, Heather, Brenda, Delizia, Eva, and Desire. Believe it or not, I haven't finished the Achievements for any of them, even though I've been playing for many months; what can I say, I like the slow burn, and I don't use spoilers. So I haven't even met any girls other than my first 9 and the special girls. I like it this way -- I always have more content to look forward to.
But now I'm wondering if I should excuse one of my nine girls and invite Faye, and if so whom to excuse? I'd hate to lose any of them, lol. I'm closest to finishing the achievements for Brenda and Delizia, so I guess they are likely candidates. Maybe I'll wait til I've finished the achievements for one of them.
On a separate note, I like making my own models in Daz, and I'd love to make some fan art for this game. But hair is what trips me up. I can generate pretty models with G8 and ZBrush, but my efforts to make my own hair have always been lacking, even using ZBrush's fiber hair or Daz's new strand-based hair. Yet I see fan art here that is pretty amazing. Any tips on how I can approximate the girls' hair for fan art? (Er, we are allowed to post fan art here, right?) Thanks.
