I know its probably a bit much with everything DC and crew are working on but why doesn't he release an official mod for the game that gives the option to return the relationships to their previous mode? Like a Director's Cut mod. That way he can adhere to the rules on patreon and also return the game to the way he intended to write it.
Simply because patreon doesn't want their platform to support this kind of content and because they are actually enforcing those rules to a certain degree. Anything "official" is forbidden by their TOS and if they find out DC is reintrodcing the content they banned through the backdoor again, they'll simply remove the game and DC from the platform. I mean, there would be little sense in having those TOS if one could circumvent them this easy.
So in short: If DC or his team would provide any kind of (semi) official mod/patch and get caught, the game will be gone from patreon. And given how popular the game is, the risk that somebody would leak something to patreon is very high...
is DC gonna make a short update with the maid? hes been drawing her a lot
I'd say it's possible that we'll get something for christmas including Consuela. He drew quite a bit of christmas content (including some for the beach house), asked on stream once if people would like a short "consuela update" and seems to have some of the unreleased halloween content in the backpipe.
That said, it's of course possible that it's just for some kind of later update. She'll play a role in major Rump's house and thus it may indeed just something for 0.20.
