The grind is real with every new update, even to change anything with save editor is a real pain in the ass because there are so many characters & stats...the devs should make inbuilt cheat to reduce the grind or make the game fun. The game is great but the grind makes it less fun.
It's not bad tbh, I started a new game on 49.2
Guess it depends on what your goal is. Fuck Steph with your starting serums to get started on clarity, hire your first crew, do Nora quests for a quick boost in money and you're "set."

So what you are saying is I need to make a patch where when my mom asks that and I agree to hire my sister it clones my sister so that I have 2 of them. Got it. Should be do able. ROFL.
far as i know, threesomes arent in the base game (you'd need the mod for threesome functionality), and the mod already has a sanity-check in place to prevent the whole "recruit your children or relatives' later/additional children" going by their github threads, which cuts this whole angle off at the pass really.

I think the greatest problem the game has at this point is, that i needs a refactoring. But at this point i am not sure that vren has the vision to how it should look like at the end.
If he had a development plan, user storys and so on a refactoring could be started. But if he don't have it, every refactoring could be in vain with the next update. So the only thing he can do is to make it more modular and restructure how and from who he is calling functions and to make sure that are not two functions in place that do the same stuff but for different purposes.
And as ever it has to few content beside the mechanics ... but i accept that with some of the changings yet more content would only mean more problems for the future development. *sigh*

I don't recall putting a sanity check in my mod to prevent me from recruiting family.
The base game 49.2 makes that possible.

i could swear a couple weeks ago i saw a thread/change on the github about making it so you cant recruit your kids from age-appropriate-for-the-recruit-crisis women--which admittedly is only partially related to your mom being a candidate for the event (since your character doesnt count on her child count, much like your kids dont exist on other women's when the event fires, just the woman's age and her children counter).

then again you're the mod author, and since my history's been cleared since then and i can't track that down again, i may just have the brainworms!

also the lack of easy threesome access for the phantom sibling is due to wonky housing generation for the phantom sibling (it jsut makes a room in the visit tab marked as your mother's room, which just checks your mother's room and the phantom sibling doesn't occupy) making it hard/impossible to find the phantom outside of work hours/weekdays for the usual 'follow me'->initiate threesome process, which presumably your mod could address.

There are two mods. I'm the author of one.
You might be right in reference to the other mod.

I was making a point of that by pointing to my mod page.
There is nothing stopping anyone who has an inclination to make a change from doing so other than their own skills.

Frankly, the issue with the siblings could be handled easy enough. Make them full fledged characters. They could always share a room. Your sister shared a room with your cousin in the game so why not two sisters in the same room.

If they really have that big of issue. It would be simple enough to check if it is your mom and instead of making another character it simply changes the sisters schedule and she comes to work and stops school. Or should go to school the first half the day and work for you from afternoon to night. Or any other schedule.

There is so much that could be done if we just fixed the underlying frame work of this game.

I have my own project I'm working on for money. But in my spare time I am writing a demo for testing to convert this games base system.

Any ideas how to get the InstaPic details for mother?
I have her number, but I can't complete a quest from sister unless I have the InstaPic account of mother,

mom doesn't have an InstaPic account, anal taboo is broken through sis InstaPic path. Mom's OPINION matters

Assuming you have console enabled, the following should work
crisis_list.__setitem__(crisis_list.index(next(x for x in crisis_list if x[0].name == "Daughter Work Crisis")),[next(x for x in crisis_list if x[0].name == "Daughter Work Crisis")[0],200])
The highlighted yellow "200" represents a 100-fold increase in the weight of this crisis occurring (i.e the default weight of this crisis being selected is 2). The other crises' weights range from 1 to 20, but not all are active on any given turn, so the exact proportion varies from turn to turn and throughout the game as crisis are unlocked or locked. Tinker with the weight and see what happens as I haven't tested this change.
Also bear in mind that this does not change the 10% chance of a crisis occurring at all. To do that, you'd need to edit the line of script.rpy that reads:
if renpy.random.randint(0,100) < 10: #ie. run a crisis 10% of the time.
Increasing the "10" will increase the likelihood of any crisis occurring.
