Yep. That is what I figured. Looking at the code, I just have too few points with just about everybody. I guess the collect-them-all route I usually take doesn't work with this game. No surprise there.

Thanks.

RE: All the "How do I get to see all the endings...." questions.

1. Long Haul Choice:

Download the most current WALKTHROUGH PDF guide from the "Extras" section of the first post in this thread. READ IT. At the end of it there is a list of ALL possible endings and tells you EXACTLY what you need to have and do for each girl (for both Solo and Combo endings, like the included Harem one). Then replay the game numerous times to get the ending you want.

2. The "I don't want to have to keep replaying the game over and over....." Choice:

If you don't want to have to replay the game over and over to get each possible ending, do #1 above (GET THE WALKTHROUGH and READ it) AND install the Sancho Mod. It will provide a "quick play" menu you can use to "play" each and ALL girls ending(s) in the game one at a time. The ONLY thing you need to do FIRST is to use the WALKTHROUGH from #1 above to make sure the girls have the required number of points and the "relationships" for each girl are properly enabled or disabled for each ending you want to play. You can do BOTH of those with just a few mouse-clicks with the Mod, then select the ending you want and have a happy day.

Keep it simple. You either have to keep replaying the game again for each ending, or use the Walkthrough and the Sancho Mod to "quick play" any and all endings you haven't seen yet but still want to see.

PS - You DON'T need anybody else's SAVE file to do any of the #2 ways above.

Thanks. The end of Walkthrough 3 covers it well. I should have looked at that first.

There is also a 3rd option, which is my preferred option, and what I ended up doing. It is similar to option 2, but doesn't require the mod. I usually rather just edit the variables myself using URM (preferred) or in the console rather than use a mod.

This actually works for all Renpy games.

3. Usually I use URM to see and edit the variables, but it doesn't work with Sunshine Love. So, to edit the variables manually using the Renpy console:

a) Use unren.bat to enable the console, and extract the scripts from the .rpa files. I modified the unren.bat file to include an additional option to just extract the *script*.rpa files, so I don't fill my hard drive with image and video files I don't need, but this is not required. Regular unren works fine, use Option 1 and then Option 2. If you want to retreive wasted hard drive space, you can then delete the .\game\music and .\game\images subfolders, since you only need the script files.
Also select option 3 in unren.bat to enable the Console and Developer Menu.

b) Start up the game and go to the screen just before the choice screen. In Sunshine Love, it is where the MC is sitting at the desk asking himself "who do I want to be with".

c) In the game, press "Shift-E" to open the script file in the default text editor (usually Notepad or Notepad++).

d) Search for the dialog line in the current scene to get close to the choices section of the script. In this case search for "who do I want to be with".

e) Scroll down farther and you can see the variable requirements for each choice. Such as for Victoria:

"Victoria" if v_vicky_path and vic_points >= 125:

f) In the game, press "Shift-O" to get the console.

g) Enter the variable you want. If you just type the variable name such as "vic_points" (without quotes), the console will tell you the value. To change the value enter "vic_points = 125". If you aren't also on Victorias Path, you can change that by also typing "v_vicky_path = True".

h) Repeat for e) to g) for all the other paths you are interested in. For example, the code for Shortcake's path is:

"[c_name]" if v_c_path and c_points >= 325:

i) Done.

Everything you said will work if the person using the game has enough experience editing Renpy games and/or using something like unren.bat. But in my experience someone who is new to these type of VNs (and especially if their total post numbers are relatively low) won't have a clue how to do that without having to take the time to learn how to do it first. And especially if they are already posting a "How can I see all the other endings...." question in the first place. So I intentionally avoided listing that option and gave them the short and sweet way to do it with Choice #2...(while including a sneaky "RTFM!!!" suggestion at the same time). :cool::ROFLMAO:

But both of our recommendations would work. (y)

Their eye shadow. One wears more makeup than the other. I think Lily wears darker eyeshadow, IIRC.
You know I thought this as well, but at the start of chapter 1 Lily has lighter eyeshadow, so even MrDots can't tell them apart. ;)

Hey everyone, we sincerely hope you enjoyed playing the final update of Sunshine Love which was released during the week. This is a short post to let you all know that we’ve fixed some bugs and errors that you guys have listed during the past few days. We’ve re-uploaded the download links that contain all

What do you mean? I can't quite understand. You mean you can get an ending where you date all of them?
yes you can.

Cupcake is the cousin of your half sister right?
shortcake actually but she's also half-sis so from not being related to mc she becomes another half-sis but doesn't know it (only her mommy and mc know and maybe mc's daddy dearest).

crap.

Hey, that was me that posted that latest question about how to see the multiple endings. What are you trying to say, haha?

I knew I could just look at the code, but I was honestly surprised that by picking what seemed like the best dialog option throughout the entire game for each dialog, even using the in-game walkthrough most of the time, I still ended up with just Sis and Connie. I thought maybe there was some key choice I missed that closed off almost all the LIs, but I guess you just have to focus on one or two at a time for each play through.

I like Sunshine Love fine, but I don't relish playing it again 6 more times, to see all the endings. Too many other games to play for that.

I know my method probably looks a bit too complex to some, but really, if you know how to copy a file using File Explorer and how to open a file using Notepad, I think its not that hard to follow my steps. And is unren.bat really harder than installing any other mod? Plus, it's fun to do it yourself rather than use a mod! (my idea of fun is different than most people)

Since you listed all the main options, I just felt like putting down an additional reference with all the manual steps here in case someone wants to use it for either this one or other games that don't have mods available.

Plus, I don't like using game specific mods (other than URM, which is great), mainly because it often messes up the save file. If the modder decides to stop developing for the game, you are screwed since the saves often won't work with the unmodded game. Or if you forget you played it with a mod or what mod you used, good luck. Plus, you sometimes have to wait a week or two after release for the mod to catch up so you can play it.

I wouldn't use the manual method for every choice, it's way too tedious. But for key game branching choices like this one, it works. Plus there are some sandbox type games where it very difficult and/or tedious to figure out by repeating events how to get to the next scene, without a mod or looking at the code, at least for me. I usually avoid sandbox games like the plague, but there are a few sandbox-lite games that I enjoy.
