This game...I'm dumbfounded. So muhc time spent on making pointless cloths (when 99% of hte game they'll be off) and making specif sub-sub morphs for furry auists. I wish more priority wason accual contenand story.
Actually, most of that are contributions done by modders. The skeptical in me says adding other people's content (with their permission) is a good way to pad what would otherwise be small, boring updates.
For the past few months, the developer has been primarily busy with bug fixes and tweaking and exporting the code into XML to facilitate and open new avenues for modding (which is important, so I can't blame her too much). Oh and some content for Elis... small content. Inno is kind of stuck in development hell with a lot of "personal issues" going on and it's all causing delays like mad, on top of the "regular" delays. Then came Christmas and New Years's eve, which is when people usually take a break.
Companions were originally modder content but were causing too many issues and making it harder to move the game forward so they got cut. They can still be enabled in the game's options but without support or new content, it is not recommended, as they can break the game more so than it already does. Not sure about tracking your grand-kids. Also, yes, the game is unoptimized in a lot of areas, saves included.
