I think AI Girl turned off a lot of people due to the whole survival crafting aspect that will give people PTSD simply because of how open world survival crafting games are still being shat out.
Also the truth is a lot of modders rather do something simple instead of overall reworks since those are time intensive and dont really pay off, a low res texture might be too complicated to fix and with Patreonbux being in the picture its more tempting to mod Tifa Lockhart into the game that to create high res grass.
i think most people didnt liked (like) Ai because its very limited on girls.
the amount of girls you can have simultaneaously on the island is ridiculous compared to others illusions game (and even more compared to HS).
that's a big point.
being stuck in an island and crafting shit isnt really bad, but having to live with the same girls forever is a pain in the butt.
of course we can change her anytime, but that's basically similar to house play (or home play, i forget exact name) and end pretty annoying.
easy to s ee that the most popular illusion games are the ones that allow tons of girls all around, such as AA, HS, SB etc.
