damn he must have changed it well nvm then.
The reason for removing the girls cheat stat was because it was more trouble than it was worth as people would get access to the cheat menu Max the girls and then wonder why certain scenes where not triggering and then asking here I cant get this or that to work the games broken or bugged.
At this moment in time the only way to increase the girls stats is to play the game a good majority of the grind has been taken out so its a lot easier to increase the girls stats.
Now a friendly warning if you use Cheat Engine you will break the game, if you manually edit your save you will break the game, the flag menu is there so if there is a bug we can fix the game on the go if you like and will not increase the girls stats and if you play in there you will break the game.
There is no way round it other than to play the game or just bypass the first day go into Cheat Menu and click Unlock all Memories and you have all the content.
Heres a link to the save game thread where there is a selection of saves from 0.83 up to the present Version if you dont want to start from scratch again
