What happens is when you are on one faction mission, the game presents multiple faction mission options. If you take an option for a mission you are not on, it screws up that resolution. If you are careful and only pursue options for your active mission, it seems to work OK.
You can try 'story1.investigation_target = "Derek"', but no promises. What is the date?
How it is possible to do so? Most stuff starts automatically. I see no way to prevent starting the other faction missions.
Derek and Tamara's option to join the NCHDL depend on your progress tutoring Tamara. I'm not sure what the exact trigger is but if you tutor Tamara twice a day every school day starting from the first time that option is available you should be able to recruit both of them even if you start the timer as early as possible by immediately inviting Freddy home every Monday. Also for Tamara make sure to ALWAYS tutor her on Mondays until she joins because her option to join only happens on a Monday even if you meet all of the other qualifications. It also helps if social is your primary stat because that affects how many relationship points you get with Tamara for tutoring.
Typically you get asked "Do you want to follow up now?" For example "Should I follow Kelly?" Say no.
mental. not a social. when you first met with them(derek, tamara and freddy) there is a choice and if your answer is "pretty much..." then it`s [natural mental] when tutoring tamara. other choice gives 1 favor per tutoring.
you actually can start a club without tamara. start investigation on derek, have a lunch with him. and when you find out about derek`s problems with sport you can solve it with principal (derek joins) after that is possible to pull a favor from principal and have her secretary sing in as member.
This, I will try this, this is probably what I did wrong
I tested the file and it is ok. Your scanner's heuristic setting is maybe to high, which is trying to find still unkown infections.
My system said the same, in fact I had to override a lot of security because it was deleting the zipped file and not allowing use of it.
Check if you can set the heuristic scan/analysis lower. Your scanner is looking after viruses which does not exist by scanning after suspicious code. It is a nice feature, but this creates sadly lot of false positives. If you can't set if off, I would suggest using Avira Antivirus or AVG Free (both are free). They do a good job and their heuristic does not recognize everything slightly suspicious as a virus/trojan or whatever.
Either start with mental as your primary stat or use influence at the institute to bump it up to level 3 before the beginning of week 3. Spend the first 2 weeks getting tutoring to make sure your grades are at 100 before the end of week 2 for the 100 school influence and to unlock the rest of the quests. Invite Freddy home with you on Monday of week 3 and tell him to follow Derek. Sit with Derek at lunch as soon as Freddy talks to you about Derek at school. Starting in week 3 tutor Tamara twice a day every day except for Friday of the week you had lunch with Derek. Waiting til the end of the week will ensure you have enough tutoring sessions in to recruit Derek. If you do it earlier in the week you might not have enough yet.
