what am I doing wrong? I cant countinue with Ashley.
Have you made any modifications to the save by changing any of the flags or stats for her or any of the other girls? Ashley's love stat has an unusual number for it and her homework flag is extremely high.

Then you would have to either start from the beginning or use an earlier save since yours is bugged by the modifications you made. MotH heavily relies on the stats and flags for story progression. So any changes you make in the save, no matter how slight, will cause problems such as this. So unless you're directed to do so, by me or one of the other guys on Faerin's staff, don't mess with the saves.

Appendix: locations may open on specific stats. So you can’t progress, when you skip certain stat points.
Locations aren't stat related, those are related only to the flags.

<Flag>
<Name>discovered_casino</Name>
<Value>1</Value>
<ResetTime>0</ResetTime>
<ResetTimer>0</ResetTimer>
</Flag>

<Flag>
<Name>discovered_casino_on_map</Name>
<Value>1</Value>
<ResetTime>0</ResetTime>
<ResetTimer>0</ResetTimer>
</Flag>

If you change the second flag from 1 to 0, the casino isn't on the map anymore. The first flag I think is tied to the advertisement that you find on the public transportation.

Now the hints for the girls OTOH are indeed stat related. Some to love and others to arousal (or a combo of both).

Then it could be one of several possibilities.
  1. Outdated video card/GPU drivers. Verify that you have the latest drivers installed.
  2. Missing Visual C++ Redistributable runtimes. the runtimes archive from a mirror site close to you then extract the files to a temporary folder (which you can delete later). Then run the included "install_all.bat" file and see if the animation still freezes. No system restart required.
  3. Download and install the basic . Use the default installation method. There's no configuration or system restart required.
  4. Check the game's path. If the game is buried under several sub-folders, that can also cause issues with the animation. Make sure the game's full path is: "C:\Man of the House v1.0.2c (Extra)" or whatever drive letter the game is on.
  5. In some cases, if you have an Nvidia GPU/video card, go into the Nvidia Control Panel and disable G-Sync.
It's not 245 Since I already tried out those Methods at Steam.

About the 1 and 3. 1. Idk How to Update it. and 2. Idk Which one to Download.

What brand/model is your video card/GPU? If you're unsure, go to Control Panel >> Device Manager >> Display Adapters. If you see two devices showing, disable one of them. Otherwise, let me know and I'll look up the drivers for you.

As far as #3, download and install from any of the 3 mirror sites.

I know that, but the conditions to set that flag seem to be checked every time the game increments the stat of a girl.
So if you set the relation for all on max, locations like the Bunker or the park may not be available then, hence you can’t visit them and never view the scenes found there.
Imho that’s the usual way, people use editors to modify the savegames.

Your point is not wrong tho!

Here's an example of the conditions required for meeting Pam for the very first time when you have the pizzeria unlocked on the map.

<Hints>
<Hint>
<Description>Maybe I should try working at the pizzaria to earn some cash.</Description>
<Conditions>
<Condition>
<ConditionType>no_contact</ConditionType>
<Param>6</Param>
<OperatorType>equal</OperatorType>
<Value />
<Target />
</Condition>
<Condition>
<ConditionType>no_contact</ConditionType>
<Param>17</Param>
<OperatorType>equal</OperatorType>
<Value />
<Target />
</Condition>
</Conditions>
</Hint>

So in this instance, if the right conditions aren't met, (i.e: Working at the pizza shop at least once) you won't encounter the Urban Angel at night when that time comes (hence the "no_contact" condition). Stats aren't needed for that to take place (as far as working there goes, anyway). I won't explain why so as not to spoil it for new players though..

As an aside, you don't need to use an online save editor or anything special to view the MotH saves. They're basically text files just like the mapping file. All you need is Notepad or Notepad ++ (basically any standard text editor will do).

Now, with regard to the park, there's two conditions required for that to unlock. Either A) rewarding Veronica by taking her there or B) meeting Emma there in the mornings to jog with her (but you have to have met her first). The tennis courts are unlocked by clicking on Debby's tennis racket when she's changing at the police station in the morning. Neither of these are stat driven, but by progressing their stories.

For example, Debby's hint would state that she takes her bag to work with her in the morning and that's dependent on where her stats are at. At this point, the tennis court isn't unlocked yet. So when you go there at 9 a.m and peek in on her getting changed for work, that's when you see a collectable, her tennis racket (that unlocks the tennis courts) and a zoomed in shot of her ass (extra gallery images).

Now, if you want to have some fun experimenting, try starting a new game, get through the introduction and change Veronica's stats to 40 love, 0 arousal then give her the laundry chore and check on her. She should be sitting on the bathroom floor with clothes scattered everywhere. Take her to your room, tell her to remove her panties. Save where you are then go into the save, drop her love stat back to 0 and see if she takes your coffee or if you get the late night phone call to bail her out of jail. Chances are you might be able to do the coffee one, but you probably won't be able to get her I.D to bail her out of jail.

Unlocking the police station on the map is contingent on one thing; getting Veronica's I.D and at this point, there are no stats for Veronica yet.

It's HD Graphics 620.

As For #3 I already Installed one from the Mirror Sites and Idk what to do after that.

Here's a direct link to the latest for your Intel GPU.

If you have installed K-Lite, there's nothing else you will need to do other than reloading the game and seeing if you still have problems with the animation like before.

In your prior message, you said you're playing the Steam version? Or are you playing the version from here?

Welp, I'm not going to change or update my Adaptor without Professional Help.

Why must be the System of the animation on this game be so complicated, smh.

TBH, our job basically is to support the game only, not the operating system on which the games are installed. That is left up to the individual users to maintain. However, players are getting the benefit of our knowledge, expertise and experience with help in their operating systems. Installing device drivers for your hardware is routine as updates become available for them (which is common in the industry) and does not require a "professional" to do.

I've spent over 20+ years doing IT, and I find your comment with regard to installing a simple device driver for your hardware offensive. I would not recommend installing anything if I had no clue as to what I was talking about. So if you don't want to update the drivers as I suggested, then I'm not able to help you.

If you install the Intel DSA (Driver Support Assistant), it will install the relevant drivers for you without you having to do more than a few clicks of the mouse.

As for professional help, you won't get much better than Sycho; he's been doing this for a very long time. :)

Intel DSA - or

Is this windows only?
No, there is a Mac version that is available on the and . If you're playing in Linux, you would need to play it in Wine or a VM.
