Nah It's not on Black Screen, it still has its art but the Animation just won't work. I could set it to Slow Normal Fast but the MC is just stuck.

Then it could be one of several possibilities.
- Outdated video card/GPU drivers. Verify that you have the latest drivers installed.
- Missing Visual C++ Redistributable runtimes.
You must be registered to see the linksthe 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.
- Download and install the basic
You must be registered to see the links. Use the default installation method. There's no configuration or system restart required.
- 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.
- In some cases, if you have an Nvidia GPU/video card, go into the Nvidia Control Panel and disable G-Sync.

Like in C:\users\yourusername\downloads\stuff\private\games\fsk18\moth
The amount of folders counts for that!

Is it the amount, too? I thought it was only string length.
So c:\g\18\xxx\dl\f95\moth would be better than c:\supersecretfolderwhichyoudonothavetocheckbecauseitcertainlyisntmanofthehousethatwouldbegross
But yeah, one way or the other, windows despises digging too deep with your folder structure and can lead to troubles.

You are right. A full qualified path can only have 256 characters. The number of subdirectories is not important. It really makes no significant difference. You just loose potential file name characters for all the backslashes.
The file path could actually be longer, but most programs that interpret the text representation to fetch file objects - including the windows file explorer - can't handle it.

Also, IIRC, if you stray from ASCII characters, like using the diacritics your non English language has, they will be stored not as a single character, so will take away more letters.

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).

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.
