So, I got the latest update and added SFC and Radioactive. I can't start up the game and keep receiving the following message.

"Could not load from archive chars/char_Allie.rpyc."

Any help?
Pick one mod or the other. They don't play well together.

SFC and Radioactive isn't compatible. You have to choose one mod or the other

I have used other parts of mindcraft without a problem. It is just family ties that is failing. It may be all suppression that is not working.
I have the same issue. I am using AONs BE mod and both have their love capped at 20 despite showing the Familie Ties symbol on the phone screen.
Is there also a corruption requirement?

Edit: I think I found the issue: the mod adds an option on the phone screen wheather familie relations matter or not. This blocks it probably.
Turning this setting to green removes the cap.

how to increase corruption of Ms Larson?
Engaging in not-quickie sex (Skip period / Sex) raises Corruption by 2 until about 20. It pretty much takes powers to go higher. Rank 3 Mind Control has the Restraint suppression that increases Corruption each day by Billy's Concentration score. Rank 1 Psychosism has Lucid Dementia that increases Corruption by Billy's Natural Social. It is an instant effect that can only be applied to a target once a day.

Thanks for the info

What does Globex corruption control? I actually can't really tell if it does anything or if flirting/scaring Alice does anything.

Oh, corruption affects the medical check. That's one question answered.

Corruption is one of the to things that leads to different scenes at Globex. It changes the "get treated" scene if > 33 ( a second scene > 66). It changes scenes if you have Alice whoring for you (via Control). Alice also offers to drive Billy home after work and higher corruption gets into more risque situations.

The clique missions still intertwine and cause issues with completion. I'm not using mods.

I was presented with Sandra's mission first. It ran clean and completed. The next week, Kelly offered her mission. While pursuing that investigation, I was offered opportunities to work on Allie's mission (which I hadn't been offered). I did the first 2 portions (talk to teacher, talk to nurse). Once Kelly's mission completed, Allie's mission never progressed.

I'm just curious if there's something I've overlooked wrt earning Maid Manners' favour? I'm trying to get the high-end job in Globex, but waiting for 20 critical successes as a lab tech will exhaust me -- especially as I can't even fiddle with Alice's mind without at least doubling the time investment. I have a Concentration of 10 and I'm getting maybe 25% critical successes so that's 4 months of nothing but day/afternoon grind at an otherwise sub-optimal job.

Is there any other way people have found to earn her favour? Does the culmination of the Pixie chain grant any?

absolutely this. Is there any other way people have found to earn her favour? Does the culmination of the Pixie chain grant any?

You're rolling unlucky. It is a D20 roll, and you only need to roll at or below your stat. At a 10, that should be 50% success on average.

File Clerk might be a better option if you have good Awareness, as it has the same options to build favor and does not carry the chance to lose favor on a critical failure.

All of Manners' favor changes occur at the Globex jobs.

Mind Control 3 grants +5 Control per encounter.


How do I get the emergency check-up scene with Anne, only that other chick shows up.
Random. Level 3 Enhanced Senses gets you a 10% better chance.

Yeah, but that's 10 days of required critical successes to get to just 50 with some interactions costing a whole 50 favor. That's like 2 whole months of grinding if you don't save scum. Maybe it's just because I'm assuming maid manners has put a mental block on her or something, so you only get 5 for now and would be better once we get newer updates/when you eventually/hopefully control maid manner.

Figures. My data set is small, only ~10 data points, but even so my luck is sucky. Looking at the code,

Code:
    $ rng_value = renpy.random.randint(1, 20)
    $ var1=7
    if player.power_WIT>=1:
        $ var1+=2
    $ var1+=player.concentration
    $ var1+=player.MB
    if rng_value<=player.concentration and rng_value<=var1:
My Billy currently should be var1 = 7 + 2 + 10 + 3 == 22. So he can't fail and should get 50% critical success. I don't think I can potentially push Concentration any higher until Brilliance enters the game. *edit* this Billy doesn't have Kinesis yet, so Concentration can go to 11 and drop the number of shifts to 37.

So currently, I'm looking at an expected 40 shifts to achieve the favor to buy the better job if I don't try anything sneaky with Alice. Awareness max is a point lower because power bonuses are a point lower so at best it'd take 45 shifts if it were maxed, which it isn't on my current Billy.

8 weeks of grind it is, 10 actually. as I can't afford to cut school on Tuesdays because I need to keep attending the club activities. Maybe I'll use this time to cure Anne of her deep-seated mental illness.
