Had the same issue a while ago, you mainly just have to do the other questlines like the asian girl and receptionist (forgot their names) and after a little while you should get the event to start

This feels like a standard update pressganged into being the 'completed' update. No resolution with any of the characters (maybe Sophie has one but I can't get the baking event to trigger, Edit: So it triggers in the living room rather than the kitchen...brilliant -_-) and honestly a thoroughly disappointing and baffling way to end the game.
Honestly not been this bewildered and irked by an ending since Daughter for Dessert or Hustle Town (the prior for the endings being disconnected from how one played the game and the latter for being the equivalent of letting the air out of a balloon.)

I fixed it by not going to bed with her at an appointed time. Literally just clicked zzz as soon as I woke up one day.

I understand being burned out of developing the same shit for almost 3 years, but after that much time you kinda own your subscribers a decent ending, you get your fanbase to like a few characters and throw some half assed events at them just to be done with... very disappointing ending for a great game.

Sophie was the only character that got a "decent" ending in my opinion and i say decent because he could have expanded so much more, in the end is just "she stays and that's it".

It genuinely surprises me how many people read absolutely nothing about what's going on and then spout bullshit.
The dev has said since last year this is a learning project, he's working on his actual game.
This was never supposed to take off.
He isn't "burnt out" this was just practice. His subscribers already know that.

3 year learning project? Damn.
So whenever someone says "it;s a learning project" we should just never play it because we now know that "it's a learning project" means "I'm just gonna fuck it off eventually and leave half assed endings to characters that didn't mean shit because this is a learning project that was never supposed to take off but did anyways and i am in the habit of just fucking off the people that actually liked this game."
You need to take off your white knight Armour buddy
Edit: and before you respond with "well he still has subscribers"
I say to that. most people give others the benefit of the doubt, that is to say support them until they get burned. I have a feeling there will be a mass exodus of subscribers after this nonsense because they got burned
First off thanks for the saves for some reason my saves haven't been saved but how do I apply it as I try to, the saves don't appear.
thanks again.

In addition to that, Domiek said more than once that this update will be the last.

Shame it had to end so quickly, though I can't be surprised, with Domiek moving to greener pastures.
My "headcanon" ending:
MC and Sophie end up a couple in a pseudo-marriage. Sophie is okay with MC sleeping around because both it's his job and the taboo nature of their relationship.
Dani becomes MC's beard, but also kind of his actual girlfriend and they have a fruitful working and sexual relationship and grow the gym.
Amy divorces Walter and he ends up in jail. Amy gets everything. MC helps to raise the kid, and Amy becomes kind of his sugarmomma. They potentially even have another kid.
Jenna and MC end up casual fuckbuddies.
Other girls doen't really matter that much. Maybe casual sex with the others.

The fact of the matter is, IT DID TAKE OFF, and while the game itself was a learning experience, I do believe we deserve to see an actual remake or retelling of this story with the characters we know and love with proper endings. I'm not telling domiek what to do, but I don't believe it's right to leave things the way they are. That's my take, anyway.
Feels extremely rushed, and bad ending overall.

So, with regards to the whole "unsatisfying endings" situation, I think people do have a valid point.
Domiek was very open that this was a project designed to help them essentially "earn while they learn", which I think is totally fair for them to do and it's what so many other devs are doing and have done; they work on a game project and gradually get better at DAZ, coding, etc. Some devs, after they "git gud", will even go back and totally revamp their game, most often in terms of the renders but they will also make improvements to the story and gameplay too. Yes, people don't like them doing that because it might mean the game is in limbo for a long time and when it eventually returns it's just all the same content with a shiny new look, but sometimes that's not a bad thing if it means the game wil be better in the future.
I know Domiek did do a slight revamp and they did say this game was not their main passion as they had another story in mind that they really wanted to do, but this game really took off and people enjoyed it and the characters within it, and I think it deserved a lot better than it got in terms of an ending to the stories of many of these characters. In fact, some things were only just beginning and the game just abruptly stops before we see the proper development of both them and their relationship with the MC.
Take Dani, for instance. She finally seems to be warming up to the MC, even somewhat admitting she has feelings for him, and then......nothing. That's it. Game over. Story ended. Then there's Amy, her husband is going to jail, she's pregnant with the MC's child, doesn't know where her life is going from here, and then......nothing. That's it. Game over. Story ended. Same thing with Jenna, and even with Sophie. There is no real "ending" here, more like cliffhangers leaving you wanting to know more but there won't be "more" unless the next project is "Personal Trainer 2" which it is unfortunately not likely to be.
I can understand devs who are making games as "practice" in order to learn the craft, but even your "practice project" should be given far better treatment than this when you finally decide to wrap it up. Ultimately, I think the issue with these "endings" can be summed up like this; Domiek may be done with the game, but the game is not done.
