Mia is a main LI and it's pretty challenging to get on her path. a few posts before you I explained how to get on her path. It's been a while since I played this game so I don't know the conversations anymore, but I'm sure that if we're on her path, even if she doesn't want a relationship now, she will want one in the future.
Just about every girl we come in contact with (except for the college slut) seem to be a main LI. If not now, then in the future.

Oof I didn't do high on the leaderboard since I was more focused on turning other girls down since I wanted to see more Mia. I'm not really down for another playthrough since there's way too many free roams for my taste so I'll just dip out. Appreciate your advice. She barely has any content anyways so I doubt I missed much.

i believe you miss a very hot sex scene if you're into rough sex, but currently that's about it. We can be pretty sure however that in the future she will have a lot more content. Her romance path just starts late.

Goddamnit fine, since I stalked your posts here a bit I noticed you like Molly as well which is the other girl I liked. Can I have a playthrough focused on Molly/Alice and still get Mia's content? I'll deny Clara and Jas and focus on the leaderboard.

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be possible. As far as I can find, at any point the game checks for it, your major alignment is either too high forMia or too low for Molly when trying to go for both. Alice doesn't seem to care.

This game sucks. Fine I'll figure out something I appreciate the help. Getting my dad to love me was easier than getting on Mia's path.
You know what? I'll respond to this. Also "This game sucks" hurts my soul
Mia's path is the one and ONLY time I have ever adjusted things in the story based on player feedback (And as far as story content goes? Probably the only time). I'll explain!
Mia was original intended to be an extremely minor side path. If you play through the Candice/Mira path, you'll have some idea of about the level Mia's path was originally supposed to be. After CH1 was released, Mia was the far and away favorite. (That's changed since, but she still tends to rank fairly highly). As I was working on CH2, I thought about what would I want to do with her path if I made one that was more than just a few random encounters. After CH2 was released, again - tons of Mia love.
As I worked on CH3, I decided to pull the trigger on it. I took Mia's story, and went to work seeing how I could make her story work with an actual path. As I built the path, I decided to make it the most difficult path in AVN history as a big fuck you to everyone making me do actual work. Okay that last part was a lie - although I've heard more than once from people it is the most difficult path they've ever played.
What really happened was simply a consequence of essentially creating a full path for Mia partway through. One of my main requirements for it, was I didn't want her path to actually change anything in the story, and I didn't want to have to make changes to anything based on it. Some things I ended up having to expand, and some things I had to... duplicate? for lack of a better word? This will make more sense after you've played CH6, 7, and 8 (Obviously none of them are out yet, so you can't!).
The result was in order to have her path make sense, without changing anything or having to make major modifications, it needed to meet a LOT of requirements. If I had lowered the requirements for the path, it would have meant needing to change parts of the story. In some cases minor, in other cases major ones - and I wasn't willing to do that. Trying to lower the requirements without changing anything, would have meant some things just wouldn't make any sense - again, I wasn't okay with that. So having her path be way more difficult than usual, was a result of the above - deciding partway to give her an actual path, and not wanting to have to make any actual story changes in doing so.
Had I stuck to my original plans, you would have had a chance for 1 Mia encounter already, with 1 more in future content, and that would have been it. Allowing her to have an actual path is a lot of extra work - not just in simply the extra content that needs to be produced, but always making sure it always makes sense and in no way contradicts anything else - but at the end of the day, it is what it is. If I could go back I'd probably not have added her path - because it really *IS* a healthy amount of work to maintain it, and I already have quite a lot on my plate with this game - but it exists now, so some day you'll see the conclusion of it all.

C'mon, let's not go into extremes. You might've had different expectations going into it but the game definitely doesn't suck.
Don't let it get to you, Cskin! You've made a really fun game with a compelling story which a lot of people, me included, really like

It doesn't suck I was just being sarcastic . I appreciate the very detailed response as well as your effort into this game, I can tell it was made with a lot of love. I sat down last night and kept reloading saves until I finally got on her path thanks to some of the advice from this thread. I also noticed you mentioned saves possibly being broken sometime in the future so I'll make sure to add this to my top 10 anime betrayals compilation sometime this year.You know what? I'll respond to this. Also "This game sucks" hurts my soul

Just to be clear - I don't plan on doing anything that would break normal saves. I *DO* plan on doing things that may very well break modded saves. It's not guaranteed, but it is likely in the future.
i support you cuz of Mia. its okay even if the path is hard.

You're well in you're right to do so. Devs shouldn't consider mods at all during production of their games and only code, test and fix paths that can be gotten without cheating.
I've done all these requirements and i never get any prompt about paisley wanting me to fuck anna. Do i have to intentionally get jenn points as low as possible or smth?
Also Pixie has never been mentioned here apparently so i might be one of the first people to notice this but you can kinda flirt with her but only if you pick the Clara path i think? At least i've only gotten her texts on that path.
EDIT: It could be because my MIa path overflowed and went back to neutral for some reason? I wonder if i fix that i would get the texts
