Progress with Ashley is stuck for me, I just get the "Complete the boobjob and subsequent blowjob training events" message when trying to see any position other than foreplay. 95 days in, her love/sluttiness/obedience are all quite high. Did I miss or break an event with her?

There's an event that spawns inconsistently (or at least, I haven't been able to determine how to MAKE it be consistent) where you meet her in your office at the end of the day. It'll proc eventually - in the meantime, improving her opinion of boobjobs and blowjobs and of being submissive would not be bad ideas. ;)

The dinner dosing option used to let you choose who to dose individually.
Oh, did that change so it's one for everyone? Weird. I would ask about that in the discord, if I were you; personally, I was trained by just about every prior version to not bother dosing people at night if it can be avoided since (historically; this appears to be different now maybe?) overnight sapped multiple turns of serum and was a worse investment.

Is there a way to change body tan without using cheats?
Not that I'm aware of, no. Might be plans for a tanning salon somewhere, but there's plans for *LOTS* of stuff and very few people working on the coding for 'em.

What does that new little icon signify that appears next to girls you've been intimate with? Is that all it means?
Yep!

There is a bug I think that you need to deselect current personal serum to see the tooltip on hover over with description of the serums.
Anyhow for Libido enhancement You need Refined Stimulants
Workaholic - Quick Release Nootropics
2nd "Aura" column:
Aura of Compliance - Obedience Enhancer
Aura of Arousal - Pleasure Center Stimulator
Aura of Fertility - Fertility Enhancement

I also have a question about the new version.
What happened to the option to convince mother to quit her job ?
Is it now part of some quest chain or was it removed?
What are the requirements for personal serums to kick in? I don't seem to have the events about them to fire. Possibly related to Ashley / Steph changes, as I chose FWB option.
Some of her events mention her bringing serums into CEO office.

It's affected by the "novelty" stat - basically, you're penalized for being monogamous. Slightly longer version: there's a stat called "novelty" (visible in the girl's summary screen at the bottom of the "sex skills" box:
View attachment 3622981
) which degrades by I think 5% per girl each time you have a sex scene with her, and regens by like 1 or 2% each day. Lust * Novelty (or something like that) = total clarity gained. So, if you sleep with someone 5 times in a day, the next time will produce 75% the clarity you'd get if it was a brand new person. The stat changes also show up in the summary pop-up at the bottom-right of the screen - here's after interacting with someone at 100%...

...and here's after with someone at 85%:

If you're seeing weirdness outside of this, let us know!
Novelty reduces by 5 every time MC cums, I'm sure.
The Novelty mechanic does punish monogamy for some ridiculous reason.
Married couples have more frequent and better sex.
Thankfully, you can get Clarity from Researcher Duties; and if you are monogamous, once you're done modifying an LI you can focus Clarity on Trait Research exclusively.

Novelty reduces by 5 as stated. It improves by 1/day. The point is novelty and having fun in a relation is anything but novel.

Also it is couples (or even groups) not just married couples. And being a couple is not a guarantee, you still need to figure out what buttons to push meaning you need a healthy relationship so you can talk about what works and what doesn't.

At some point girls start pester MC with "take my relative to work here too PLEEAAASEE"
Is it possible to widen that list of relatives with... sisters??

FYI, had a strange event, in case someone else encounters it. I was noodling around with the outfits, and created one sort of inspired by the Elvira character Cassandra Peterson used to play. When I tried to save it as Elvira, it refused, demanding a name which had not been used. I put Gown after it, no change, no way to cancel, go back or otherwise get out of this, added a string of numbers after Gown, no change, deleted everything and it changed to complaining that it couldn't save blank names, tried Elvira Gown 0000, went back to saying I couldn't use the same name twice, tried Night Mistress Gown, no change, I then began looking for a way to get past this and after clicking everything to the side to look for something I could go to which would then let me get back to the game, I accidentally found one. It went to the unhandled exception screen, and ignore a couple of times got me back to where I wanted to be, without a derivative costume, so no real loss.

For General information, I hade trouble with getting all fetishes for the IT Girl. You can use "person.add_role(exhibition_fetish_role)" in the console (shift+O) while talking to her, to give her the missing fetish. 1715441966962.png

Hello, guys!

I think I found a bug.
I got Alexia Farrowsdotter into a very deep trance and I select that special option of 'cum fetish'.
I tried it like 3 times already. Clarify is substracted, but fetish is not being added.
This must be a bug, right?!

Thanks!

I might be wrong as I haven't played this game for a long while. I recently just started playing the last update. I think after you complete the hair saloon girl get over her ex, she will offer you discount for your employees, I think she will add tanning saloon and you can change girl's body tan.

Since the money is not a problem, tell me an unambiguously understandable algorithm, so that you can give mother money to ransom the mortgaged housing? And the mother also mentioned the need to repair the car. But for some reason, this aspect does not always pop up from passing to passage. Yes, Sogdasen, the sequence of passage is different, for an element of randomness. But nevertheless, since the money in the game is not a problem, how can you raise a conversation with your mother about the redemption of the mortgaged housing? Why can you make room renovation but you can’t buy housing? Some inconsistency is obtained.
It's all just excuses to do sexual things with/to people you wouldn't otherwise have been able to, man. Let it ride. :)

The cum fetish in particular, if memory serves, can take several attempts before it locks in. No idea why it behaves differently from the others; might've been part of an attempt to make there be more game in the late-game? Maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's still available from the phone. Just wait few days after the game starts for option to renovate your room.
Specifically, you need to wait for an event where you think to yourself "man, my room looks like shit - I should pay someone to fix that."

You know, essentially. I'm paraphrasing that a little.

That all being said, I had a run not too long ago in which I got like 4 or 5 months in and hadn't seen it pop yet, so while it SHOULD pop up fairly early on, your mileage may vary.

If you look at the Bottem right you will see the the person gains Traits coresponding to Cum.
The "Cum fetish" dose not have visable Requerements like the other fetishes.

in the Code i found that it will require the Traits loves "drinking cum" and "being covered in cum"

It's all just excuses to do sex
why i need excuses? i love my mom as she loves me - unconditionally and without any barriers - she is my bedding that I regularly breed - no one suffers from this (with the exception perhaps of those who have completely lost their minds on hypocritical religious morality - but we will leave them “outside the brackets of our formula”). she is satisfied, she is happy - so why do I need an apology? but it wouldn’t hurt to pay a deposit for the apartment. I don’t like having debts or loans, especially if I can afford not to have debts.
