Sequence of events:

- The DMD NTR Wars (several ups and downs in this)
- Knowing the NTR wars. Launched a new game... and gave the MC a girlfriend that wanted an open relationship.. (already triggered some people)
- Fully knowing previous events. Decide to hook the main LI up with another LI behind MC's back (you could argue this isn't different than what has happened in DMD and Melody, but still...it's a very risky move this late in game with next to no foreshadowing/buildup.)
- Fully knowing previous events. Decide to make 2 of the LI's escorts out of nowhere. (Obvious bad idea)

People having negative reactions to content that popped out of seemingly nowhere and already has been shown to trigger them is unbelievably predictable. I saw some posts that people just misread the story or whatever. But what actually happened was the devs misread their audience who have already been shown to really dislike this content across multiple games. This is just common sense.
To me this is just the audience misreading what the dev has already created in a well established trend in his games. It's that old saying about the definition of insanity. Why are people still getting set off when things like this happen? Maybe move on to a new dev? Preferably one that doesn't milk projects for 20 years?

That is very strange... I don't change any game code, I only set some values in the persistent data which the gallery checks for to know if you have unlocked an item or not. there isn't one that triggers a "hide this replay scene".
so deleting the gallery unlocker does not turn everything back to normal cause the persistent gets changed with the unlocker? Thats very unfortunate cause now my gallery is effed up...

Yeah the changes that my script makes are pretty much permanent unless you know how to revert it back. I can give you a little script to set it back to the original values...

Python:
init 666 python:
    setattr(persistent, 'replay_w11mow_ash_sex', True)
    setattr(persistent, 'replay_w11mow_c_sex', True)
    setattr(persistent, 'replay_w11mow_vickyonly_sex', True)
    setattr(persistent, 'replay_w11mow_lighthouse_sex', True)
    setattr(persistent, 'replay_w11mow_vicky_s_sex', True)

This game is very nice for it's story, but I deleted it after finding out that it wasn't harem and after the 1000th "sigh" of the MC.
yea will be hard to choose...and i need to replay at least the last 2 days in game many times to s4e all contents...but as i said would be at least fair to be wqith all your "family" women...Sis,Cousing and their ci sono love so much this VN..as i loved all the game these devs made

The way I see it, a non-harem game shouldn't let you fool around with every LI before making a choice. The choice should be made right at the beginning after a brief introduction of all the potential LIs, and then develop the sexual plot around your choice.

The final 4 scenes are visible in the menu(sis, sis+vicky, sis again and Ashley) but not clickable.

I know. The issue is that the dev didn't add the replay actions so the button unlocks but the gallery doesn't know what to do so you can't click it. I've reported this to the dev.

Well that makes it much easier to just drop the game entirely. Without that possibility there is zero reason to keep playing a game that pulled what this one did.

I've tried another 10 times to replicate your issue but I can't seem to get it... It works everytime I try it :-s

well - what a bummer to notice that actions have consequences. Fooling around with too many girls? well, then some of them will get upset. That's how all 3 games of MrDots are.
(Our next game will be a harem game though).

And you don't need to fear to lose your savegame based on past decisions - you always can toggle each girl's path on and off using the tablet -> choose the girl you want on the right, and click the red heart. It will turn grey if path is closed.
That way you can toggle each path on and off like you want, and you don't need several full playthrough.
Once you encounter a scene you messed up, just scroll back to before that scene starts, toggle girl like you want, and everything is fine.

When done, load your old save and play the other path - so you can experience both paths, just not ending harem like.

where to put this?

Well, some people play those game to jerk off, they probably won't get upset.
But some people use games when they want to run from reality for a while into another reality, to get full experience of it, to be engaged in the story. And yes those people will get upset.
And they’re entitled to their opinions and to express them. Just say’in.

You only need that if you want to "reset" the replay scenes for the current update.
First make sure you remove the unlocker (or just replace the contents of the unlocker with this script and skip the next step).
After that, make a file in the same directory where the unlocker was placed and give it any name and end it with ".rpy" and just paste it inside of that file.
Now start the game.
they should be locked again (only the last 5 items in the replay gallery).

And that's why I don't cheat with unlockers or things that go messing with stats and variables. If you actually need those things then that's just poor design and probably shouldn't bother with it at all.
