Update:
I've been working on events for Effie.
When I began I noticed the possible story inconcistencies, as mentioned here:

I found a way to introduce the need for Effie's key and let events react to whether you have it or not.
While I was at it, I also realized that the apps Profile (for diaries), Phone (for messages), Online store (for clothes) all returned MC to the home overview. Now this was fine as most action took place at home until this release.
But as now new characters and thus new locations come into play, the screen where to return to could not be always the Home Overview. So I created a way of keeping track of MC when those apps were invoked. It also combined nicely with the 'Effie's key' function I put into the game.
When testing the new functions, I found the GUI not always behaving the same way. So I took a look at it and found a new way of building it up. It is a small visible change for players but for me it's a more controlled way of getting the pics into the game (as I now know exactly what will be shown).
When I showed it to Boom, he said you would like it and here's the pic I showed him:
Now I can continue working on Effie's events, which I find difficult because she has the most time slots to fill with events. Most are done for level 1 and I found a way to make money important in the game again (no more feeling Uncle Scrooge).
