The walktrough cheat is...not optimal. I played the game twice, with this cheat and with the original WT, and it is a huge different in between.
Some events are not triggering, or triggering to late. Amy points are rising up to fast, if you only use the green colored options. Before version 16_0 it makes not sense to raise points over 70, because every night it will drop back to 70, no matter, what you're doing. The original WT gives you choices to lower those points...what makes sense, because it seems, sometimes Amy SHOULD be angry, in exchange for a nice view...for example, what is a part of the mood. And it seems, if the points are to high, some events can't be triggered anymore.
Don't get me wrong, this cheat is fine for people, who just wants to go straight to the point...but for people, who wants to enjoy the mood of the game, this cheat is only helpfull in a particulary way and to my opinnion, the chaet destroys more of the mood, than it is helpfull at the end.

Further the cheat often leads into loops and broken game-saves and to fix it, you have to change the code. Well, you can ask, how to do it...but the mood is gone.

Well, like I wrote, this is only my personal opinnion, and you guys and girls are all adults and have free choice, to do, whatever you want. You can follow my advice or not...it's on you. But please, don't be rude, because my opinnion maybe doesn't match yours.
Thanks for your feedback. It would be great if you (or anyone) can provide broken saves so that I can fix the mod. All the issues that I've been told about (since a very early version of the mod, which admittedly had an serious issue) have been a result of the game, not the mod. Where possible I add code into the mod to fix bugs in the game. The game itself is full of bugs, and the original walkthrough is carefully constructed to avoid the them. But if you accidentally or intentionally step of the narrow path defined by the walkthrough, you will very likely end up trapped in a loop. And if you don't use either the walkthrough or the mod, you're pretty much doomed to hours of misery, unaware that you're stuck in an endless loop. The mod helps avoid many of the bugs in the game, but clearly there are more that I've missed if you're still finding them.

The original walkthrough is nice if you don't mind flipping back and forth between it and the game at every step, but I find it difficult to remember where I was if I take a break from playing for a few days. Of course, I also have trouble remembering what day it is, so it may just be me.

You raise an excellent point about missing out on a lot by just following the green links. For those that do decide to use the mod, and want to see everything, I highly recommend clicking on all the yellow options before clicking on any of the green ones. The yellow options are ones that show content you haven't seen before. Sometimes they're just minor variants in the text (eg. "Hello, Bob" instead of "Hi, Bob"), but sometimes they contain a scene that isn't instrumental to the story but are nonetheless interesting (e.g. yoga by the pool). These are well-worth seeing, and you'll only have to see them once by following the yellow links.

it doesn't help knowing which event was missed if you can't get it to complete. The only way i can complete the game is start restart from a really far back save.

I have really enjoyed this game.I have been using the hell out of nighttrain WT mod for Room to Rent. I got to V4 of the game and at 12 'o clock on Day 83 first day of V4.0 for me, The WT Mod is now telling me that I can find hints at CeLa Vie Group. I am stuck and I don't know where to go. I stumbled across this game . I have put alot of time into this game and I would like to finish it. Great mod. Just doesn't seem to work in V4.

I really hope the mod isn't telling you to look elsewhere for hints, because that isn't intentional. If you can post your save I can try to figure out what's wrong, or what you'll need to do to get the mod working again. The mod is supposed to work in V4 (and does for most people), but there's always the possibility of bugs (in both the mod and the original game) that can put you in an invalid state. I can probably get you out if you post your save (ideally from 12 o'clock on Day 83, but anything after that could be used as well).

Thank you for your reply. Where would i post this save at. I noticed as I was writing this reply can attach files. If attaching files here is wrong I apologize. Well here is my Day 83 Save. I for the most part have a save for every day. If you need anything else let me know. Thanks for the reply and the help. I have also attached a couple of screenshots of my problem. The first screenshot is of the office and its options and the second one is the result after clicking on the option hints.

Regarding the hints from the office, those are provided by the game, not the mod. And the game doesn't provide any more hints starting in V5.

I've had a chance to look at your save, and the mod works for me. When I load the save I immediately have Amy complaining to Bob that he stinks, and then I see a menu that looks like the one attached, with the green 'Cheat' button in the lower-left of the screen, and I'm at the beginning of the V5 content. If you don't get these same colors in your menu, please send me a screenshot of what you get, and also send me saves from days 81 and 82. If you do get these colors, then things are probably working.

But I do think there is something wrong with the mod. In your first screenshot it should say "Amy: 146" at the top of the screen. It does for me, and not for you. Do you see the list of missing events and "Game Level: V5" at the top of the screen when you hover over the "Cheat" button? You may want to try clicking on the cheat button twice, once to turn it red, and once to turn it green again. I know this sounds like the classic "turn it off and on again" instructions from IT support, but sometimes that does actually work!

Anyway, I don't see any problems with your save, so I'm sure we can get you back on-track without having to start over if you can be patient with me.

I reloaded my Day 83 save and I do have Amy 146 at the top, this is before I even touch the cheat button in the lower left hand corner. I guess that I have always thought you programmed your mod to give hints at 1200 everyday in the office. I have also read that your mod should work all through every version on the game (at least through V16 If I am wrong please let me know.) So just to clarify the OFFICE HINTS are not your correct? Your mod just shows the colored text in the game correct?
Also once for verification the word cheat needs to be colored green in the lower left for your mod to be working, is this also correct? Thanks again for helping me understand your mod. It is a great tool. Have a great day and I look forward to your reply.
I will upload Day 82 and 83. I just noticed at 2000 on Day 83 that the Dining Room is green. I guess your mod has always been working since I thought the office hints was part of your mod but that was of the Dev's doing. I will still send you the previous 2 days. I just realized that my previous 2 days is Day 75 and Day 82. This is because I had to pass several days to get to the next advancement in the game which happened on the weekend. One last question, the "event counter" in the upper left corner is not part of your mod that is done by the dev correct? I haven't played the game for 24 hrs. I will go back to it now. Thanks again for your help. Also could you post a list on the mods that you have created games for and do you also do gallery unlocks as well as scene replays.

It's good to hear that everything is working as I intended, even if it's not as you expected.

The mod should work for all versions of the game. I've played the whole game several times and it works for all the current content. If the dev releases an update in the future, it should work for that as well, but there's a slight chance I may need to tweak the mod a little.

The office hints are not mine, but instead are provided by the dev himself. But he stopped including them after V4, but you can sometimes get hints from the conversations with the Amy during breakfast. But eventually I would always get stuck with know idea what to do next. So, after V5 I stopped playing for a while, but eventually could resist Amy no more and wrote the mod, mostly so I could make progress in the game.

My mod mostly just shows the colored text in the menus. You can turn this off or on by pressing the Cheat button (when the Cheat button is red, the colors won't be shown). This is so players can decide for themselves how much they want to cheat. Some will play with the colors disabled, turning the colors on only until they can figure out how to find the next event, then turning them off again. It allows you to play more like the dev intended, but with a safety net in case you get stuck.

The mod also shows the ugly black bar at the top when you hover over the Cheat button. The bar shows the events you're missing, in case you want to ask someone here for help in finding a specific event. But this is not that useful, unless you're willing to look through the code for the game to figure out how to trigger the missing event, which would shouldn't need to do if you use the mod.

The mod also directly modifies the programming of the game to fix a few bugs in the game. With the original game, it's possible for the player to put himself in state where it's impossible to get the remaining events in a level. The mod fixes (most) of those bugs, although I think there's one bug where if the player doesn't do something at the pool in level two, the player is doomed to get trapped in level seven (or somewhere much later in the game) that I don't think I've fixed properly. There are some other cases that have been reported to me where players get stuck, but I've never been able to figure out how they got stuck. But, if they get stuck, I can usually figure out how to get them unstuck if they send me their save.

The event counter is provided by the dev, so it's not mine. Sometimes (but very rarely) the event counter will show that you haven't completed all the events in a level, but the list of missing events provided the mod is empty. In this case you're stuck, and no amount of playing will get you unstuck. If this happens to you, I can tell you how to get unstuck by hacking the renpy variables.

I don't have anything to report in terms of other mods I've developed, and I don't have any gallery unlockers. I have converted two games into renpy: "The Follower" by HoneyGames, and "Family Life" by Perestrelo. I really liked both these games, but found them unplayable (like Room for Rent), so I had to do something just so I could play them.

This mod saves the game from damnation.
Without the mod the game is unplayable due to repetition and severe grind.
Oke it still has a sloooow progression but is enjoyable and it has some kind of tension that kept me playing for a couple of hours in a row.
By now she starts getting fucked and performing blowjobs.
Thanks to the cheat/walkthrough and the CTRL button.
