I am in the interior of the house and neither Aunt Maggie or cousin Mindy are visible, like they are not loaded but I am in the house. I have completed Brenda's recess quest and have visited her at her house to give the hair dye, outfit, panties, etc.
I am where you listed on Section 23: Step 4 where I am supposed to return the costumes.
"Does this mean that the interior of the house is displayed but there are no characters? If so, which floor?"
Are there multiple floors in her house? I only seem to know about the one with her room where the quest starts? Maybe i'm just blind? I have attached a picture of what I am seeing.
