Can someone help me with the Ellie IT director plotline? I can't seem to actually hire her. I've finished the blackmail stuff, confronted her and offered her a job. She was supposed to visit on Friday and start Monday, but it's been over a week in-game and haven't seen her again. The character progress screen says she's been hired, but she's not in my staff directory or phone and I can't add the IT director position in company policies. I do have open employee positions, I'm at 38/40. Any thoughts on what might be going on? Is there some sort of event I'm missing or precondition I haven't met?

It took about 2 weeks game time for her to show up. Patience Grasshopper......

Should I play lab rats 1 first?
Just started this one and MC seems to reference his previous experience a bit, seems like I'm missing out.

You don't really need to play the original Lab Rats first. There are several characters who carry over, but the first game (albeit very good) isn't necessary to understand or succeed in LR2.

In my opinion no. Its very basic and there is some story links but it was a good game in its time but it could be completed quickly so download and play it if you want but your asking from others so I say no.

Honey Select is way different from Koikatsu.

I really don't care to argue something so subjective. Obviously, my point was that I think both of them are ugly as hell, and arguing about their similarities or differences doesn't change that at all. The reason I've never played Lab Rats 1 is because I think the art is unappealing to look at, and that remains true whether it's Koikatsu, Honey Select, or anything else.

I guess maybe I think of Koikatsu and Honey Select as being similar just in the sense that my brain logs both of them as "too ugly to be interested in playing the game," and leaves it at that. I don't believe my quality of life would be improved in any way by learning to tell the difference between them. If you like one and not the other, bully for you, but they are similarly unappealing to me, so I don't see the point in nitpicking about this.

I chose not to blackmail the cousin and now I can't get the event to be the owner of the strip club since it's closing event doesn't trigger, any way to change cousins path to blackmail? I've unlocked almost everything in this playthrough except the club!

Normally its Starbucks that unlocks that, unless its been changed.

When I use to play this I never blackmail the cousin and it still allowed me to buy the strip joint after getting Starbucks quest leveled up.

i have two questions ,
1. is the bimbo serum really permanent? i have used it twice and the girl dialogue just after using it changes, but it reverts after you go into a sex scene and after the serum ends, so what does it changes?
2. can you get rid of the recently orgasmed "debuff" permanently? i was told to check "sex_mechanics.rpy - #recently orgasmed = true - " but i cannot find that .rpy file, is not where it usually is. I downloaded the full modded game, so maybe its on a different location or it was removed?
Click to expand...
you can put in console mc.recently_orgasmed = False, just copy-past it (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V), but it's only temporally, you need to do it every time, no permanent solution in modded version, not yet anyway, but i hope they'll add it soon

She runs the adult store that you can invest in and after several times investing and having fun with her she is the one that tells you about the strip club closing or something like that.

I downloaded the latest BETA version and tried to load a save. Got this error. Anyone knows what the issue is and how to fix it? Sorry I am new to Git so not sure if I need to roll back to a prev version, or how to do that. Thanks

The issue is generally that new versions are not compatible with old saves.
