HTML Completed Patriarch [v1.2.2] [Oranos]

1. I unlocked the Breeding program for $30K, but I can't talk to Carmichael at the college because she's at the hospital. Is there another way to find Monique or another way to talk to Carmichael?

Edit: Nevermind, I have to proceed with the main story. Go to Erebus, roofie the bartender, Go to St James Dr and talk to Phoebe. Carmichael recovers afterwards

2. The game says to take Gabrielle on a date. When I do, I get this message: "((You need a truly devoted woman in your harem to show Gabrielle: a wife or a slave hopelessly in love with you. If you're unsure of who this could be, read Gabrielle's Walkthrough in the sidebar...))". Gabrielle's Walkthrough doesn't mention who this is. If it's Amber, she's currently pregnant in the East Wing
Additionally, if I visit Gabrielle's apartment it says to text her. If I try to text her, it says to take her on a date.

Thanks for catching that, must have missed adding that to her walkthrough.
You need to have completed Haley or Angelica.

Send me your save and I'll have a look.
Are you using mod?

How do I download saves? It doesn't have a download button for me, and it just comes out as a bit line of text. Trying to download on my phone but can't figure it out on that or my computer.

Not sure how to do it on phone. On pc you can save to disk.
Also did you use the mod? If so go ask in the mod thread

Thanks for the editing tips. I like to change things to make the game more personal and unique to me (such as use names of women I know irl, use my actual school name, or hometown etc.) I also get a juvenile kick out of nonsense that makes me laugh, like calling an in-game watering hole Big Dave's Skank-O-Rama. It's stupid on an almost uncomfortable level, but it makes me happy.

I started dicking around with the HTML a good way into the game and I don't think I broke anything. lol

Something that occurred to me while educating Kimberly: A misogynist wouldn't call his misogyny misogynistic (don't think too long about how I know that). What I mean is, if the player character genuinely believes that it is right and proper for women to be sex slaves, and I think he has to believe that to do what he does, he wouldn't think of the 18th century views as misogynistic. He'd probably think of them more as pragmatic, realistic, or hell even more enlightened than the pretense of equality because they had a greater undertanding/appreciation of women's role. I don't think he'd think of the essay he makes Kimberly read to him as *misogynistic* drivel either. In the same vein, 'Instill misogyny' as a step in her training could be renamed to 'Address delusions of equality' or something like that.
Also, this is a bit of a pet peeve of mine but the word Corruption has clear negative connotations so I don't think anyone 'corrupting' girls would call it that, including Crowle's corruption scheme. I don't have a pithy way to put it into one word but if they believe that girls *should* have nothing but sex on the brain and getting them to that state is actually a good thing, then they'd probably rather say they're disinhibiting or liberating girls, maybe even helping them or bringing them more in touch with their true nature. If anything, they might view it as an unjust imposition on women to expect them to be anything but mindless sluts.

I think this is well reasoned, and I agree that an actual misogynist would not identify their own beliefs in a way that sounds overtly negative - in the same way that a good vilain doesn't consider their actions to be evil, though they obviously are from the standpoint of a person with sensible ethics.
I think my mistake here is writing too much from the perspective of the player/reader, and not actually the main character, thus creating this kind of distance that you're pointing out. I don't think the people who enjoy this game or me myself who felt inspired to create it, are actually misogynists or believe that the actions of the main character are good/virtuous. Rather the player finds the fantasy and illusion of misogyny to be hot, not the thing itself. It's kink, so it is enticing because the player itself find the idea of it descipicable in their actual lives. The player goes into the role of the main character who is an actual misogynist which allows them to engage with that fantasy. I am not sure if the fantasy would be more engaging with that fantasy if the meta-commentary voice saying actions are misogynistic was removed - I will have to ruminate on it more.
That is my reasoning, hopefully that makes sense to you.

I actually rather liked that bit. The MC is a selfish prick who wants to stick his selfish prick in everyone, but he doesn't (per the current writing) believe that women are inherently inferior to men: He just wants everyone to be inferior to him in particular.

He doesn't believe that what he's doing is just and right out of some deranged misogynistic world-view; he's aware that his behaviour is immoral, but does it anyway. That's much easier for me to buy into as a player than having an MC who is convinced of the justice of his actions.

(Unlike e.g. Crowle, who is clearly on some sort of ideological crusade, and a nutter who bears watching. The MC is just reaping the benefits.)

Would be amusing to get kimberly's mother content.

Here I thought I was the only one who perked up at that. haha

I can't introduce a female side character in this game without people begging for a full arc lmao

It is a compliment! Everyone wants what you are providing.

Is there a way in the game to see exactly where you sit in terms of what you've accomplished? Like a progress bar or something. I burn through stuff so fast sometimes that I honestly lose my place in the story.

I think that Jaqueline might be breaking the game.
After I was going through her story I get to the "wip jaqueline limit is 19" point and if I sleep or visit her afterwards I get a blank unskippable screen.

I was told that it's ok. Work in progress.

You need to first click the voicemail from your capo in atrium, then go talk to him in St.James'. Then you can talk to carmichael.

There is an Achievements page! You can access it on the sidebar on the left side of the screen, and it'll tell you which girls you've completed the content for. There's also a walkthrough in game you can check, and if you're cautious of going too far then you can just read up to where you last remember.

Where do you have that bug? Exact scenes would be great.
Also do you play with the mod? If so ask for help in mod thread.
If it's vanilla, please send me your save and I'll have a look
