Only thing I could think of is turning scene frequency in the settings all the way down and I doubt that stops them from happening
This is a loading issue I believe. Depending on how long it takes to load models, it could take at least ten seconds for them to appear. It sometimes happens to me when I reload a game. As for them not being in their rooms, try different times of the day.
This is what I would recommend.
The last part of your post is answered in the tutorial I believe. I think it even says it when you right click during a sex scene. Unless you mean just during activities in which the answer would probably be no. Sometimes the characters fall through the floor or just seem to be invisible.
It does depend on your employer stats. It has to be the ones that are your actual employees and not the ones that were working there before you bought the business. The issue is that it takes decades in real time to up their stats, so it is always better to just cheat to up the stats unless you just want to do it as a grind while waiting for events. As for your bug, I had that too. All I can say is reload to try and fix it. I luckily saved my character's appearance so I just loaded that up and it fixed the issue. It for some reason loaded an NPC as your character, but you aren't playing as them. You can tell as they will still be there with you being able to interact with them. If loading doesn't work, just change the appearance and stats back to your character. If you are too lazy for the future, then just save the appearance in the character appearance settings for next time. You could in fact do that for any character you want to be a cuck or a bull and just switch as needed.
I turned down the event multiplier. iirc it's set to 10 by default and i moved it to 1.
thanks. I reloaded and I'm stuck. I didn't save my character and tbh I'm not sure how to remake them (I went random bc I couldn't figure out how to change body proportions). a couple of my relationships seem newly jank as well soooo I'mma probably just have to burn this world and learn to keep a second save file on hand for when I want to fuck around with cheats in the future
I didn't mean the character models. I mean that whenever I finish the "spend time with the family" action, no family member is ever in any of their rooms. I tried all times of the day already. Like I said, even at night they're not sleeping in their rooms, as they usually would. The game says they're "probably _ing in the _.", which suggests they are caught in an undefined activity that never ends or something similarly buggy.
You don't need the save file, just use the save/load character buttons. It can work for NPCs as well if you want to easily put someone in a different save or a city without bringing the whole town along. The proportions are easy, either use the basic sliders or the advanced ones for a more specified character. All you would need is usually just hair, skintone, sexy parts, and perhaps muscle/fat.
Load? I have never scene this, but sometimes restarting the game fixes some issues.
Maybe try inviting them to hangout and saying goodbye?
In addition to the scene frequency multiplier, you can time out specific scenes when they show up, so that they won't show up again in X hours. The button is at the bottom right and is set to 168 by default. You can crank that up to ridiculous numbers to basically block a scene from ever showing up again. But you need to click the "time out" text next to the field with the number after you've entered a value.
Good idea. But that also doesn't work, because I have invited one family member to train in the gym multiple times and they also keep being affected by this bug. There is only one family member that still seems to have a scedule where they show up in their rooms or others. But I don't know why they are unaffected when everyone else is.
Did you impregnate them? If they don't have a kid then save the character and stats, then delete and re-create them. It is annoying and tedious, but it may fix the bug. I would get rid of every family member first to hopefully clear any goof code.
Just save them, then load them after you delete the NPCs. It will save you a lot of time.
