Mod doesn't unlock OEM gallery (so you can still use it as an achievements goal). It has it's own custom unlocked gallery accessed as shown in pic #2 in the OP (SanchoGallery).

Although I didn't think it needed elaborate instructions, to access the fully unlocked gallery:

1) From the main menu select "SanchoMod"


2) From the SanchoMod screen select "SanchoGallery"


3) Find the fully unlocked custom gallery

Quick question.
If I want to update your bugfixed mod for chapter one I can just overwrite the old mod files?

If the "old mod files" you mean the older SanchoMod then indeed. Simply install the newest mod over the old, giving permission to overwrite files as requested.

 

[Sancho1969]

For you SanchoMod fans: If you have any issue with Ch1 export file for importing into Ch2 then let me know (you won't have a problem due to the mod, I'm offering assistance of the base game code). For you folks I will supply you with your save-specific export file as needed. Simply tag me in a post with your COMPLETED Ch1 save file (one only pls) and I'll knock it out for you. Windows platform ONLY.

This is highly likely to not come up or be an issue, but thought I'd provide it as some folks in the VN's OP are having issues for some unknown and unverifiable reason. Regards.

I think this was answered before but...



even though I'm not on the Nicole path it says GF.


Compared to CH1

I see. It appears I missed that Dots isn't using the variable that decided the "Single" mode made in Ch1/Week2, which the mod uses to decipher if Nic is in Open/Single/Girlfriend status. Reviewing the Ch2 variables again it's simply Open Relationship or not. I'll fix it, but it sure seems an oversight be the dev imho. Thanks for the heads-up.

 

[Uthuriel]

I have another bug I think?


I can't progress past this point. I'm on none of those paths.

And I noticed this. Not sure if this is due the mod or a misspelling in the vanilla game.

 

[Uthuriel]

Oh and one more thing. I've been comparing event flags from CH1 and CH2. I think some of them are not being transferred correctly.

Well, those choices and that spelling is all on the dev. I didn't create the menu choices and I don't change any dialogue. Same goes with the variable transfers from Ch1 to Ch2, that's all on the dev as the mod does not change any variables at all, it only displays them (as seen in the ChoiceGuide letting you know what paths are needed). It appears that Dots did not take into account that a player might not be on any path of the above conversation with Roshi. You have most certainly found a bug in the script that will have a bug fix inbound from the dev as I'm sure other folks might have decided to not be on any path (maybe). I reckon he assumed you would be with someone at this point, dunno.

Then this is a huge oversight on the devs part. Like one of the biggest fuck ups I've seen so far.
I think MrDots should stop snorting the cocaine he got from developing those games and instead invest that money in quality control.
Thank you for your insight.

What's odd to me is there is another "tablet call choice" later on that explicitly skips it if you are not on any of the particular paths. But not the one you showed. The other is like this:

if v_c_path or v_ashley_path or v_vicky_path or v_yuki_path:
    jump lb_w5_mow_call_nicole_girls
elif True:
    jump lb_w5_mow_call_nicole_nogirls

What that does is if you are not on any of the four path in the conditional, it skips the call label and jumps past it. In the one where you displayed there is no such conditional, it mandatory for any player. I agree it's a rather major oversight, as the dev must assume that a player might not have chosen to be with anyone (if that is indeed an option which it is).

Yes, the "sister" option is there at the very top. With your resolution temporarily toggle OFF the ChoiceGuide. I'm not sure why your screen looks like that, mine is there at the very top of the screen. Toggling OFF the ChoiceGuide temporarily will make those choices "skinnier" on the screen so more of them fit. Try that and let me know.

Yes, with the choice guide disabled the option is there. Still weird.

Well, I'll take part of the blame then, as I chose to make all the menu options available in the VN so the player would know what they MIGHT be missing and the ChoiceGuide says what is missing to make that choice available. I do this in most mods but most don't have that many menu choices at once. The good news is that's the only large amount of choices (to date anyway) that you will run across. So for trying to keep the player most informed, that's on me. Regards.

Nah it's cool. The solution was in the end quite simple. After reading the SL bug report section of their discord it seems to me that this chapter two release is still buggy as fuck. I have the feeling they were behind schedule and pushed it out sooner than they should have.
