My apologies. I thought I had all of the updates, but I was missing that one. I have the updates before and after. Normally the game won't work if I am missing an update between 2 others, but the game still loaded anyway.

Hi, in the worst case you should download the full version or hope that someone still has the previous update version and can send it to you somehow.
No, if you skip an update, normally the game will load just fine but you'll only run into issues when playing it.
In fact, that seems to be the case for the most often reported issue "Can't load xxxxx" here.

Going to politely disagree with you on this one.
Julia and Ethan have had a few instances of teasing where she's fought against making an advance on him. Ethan obviously has seemed hesitant because of his overall involvement with the family.
Going back to Julia, her life has evidently changed from what she expected it to be. Primarily, she's stated her husband has not been sexually interested in her, and considering we don't necessarily know how long this has been going on for, she's probably pent up and wants to be satisfied. Ethan fits the bill quite nicely.
I think Julia's progression is right where it should be - her finally taking the next step with Ethan isn't "out of nowhere".
Janet in ToN took far too long, then we had so many scenes with her late game where it almost felt forced. Heather in TGO was kind of in the middle of Janet and Julia, but she kind of felt a bit more "flat" to me. Having Julia progress to where she is now allows for more exploration to develop her relationship sexually with Ethan, and likely some of the other women in Escovia...

I didn't mean to imply at all that the scene itself shouldn't have happened. I only wanted to express that NLT usually had a different (less subtle) approach. That is, a first physical approach including grinding or satisfying the other person, a titjob, a blowjob, and then generally sex. Here, the relationship between Julia and Ethan was built up more subtly, but no less intensely. Because my brain is still used to NLT's old-school approach, I was personally very (positively surprised) by the scene. However, I highly welcome this change in how relationships are built, because it (not just with NLT) usually proceeds very uniformly, making it very predictable and boring. It's as if people can only have sex with each other after they've explored every square centimeter of the other person's skin. Therefore, I completely agree with you and hope that this form of pacing and interpersonal relationship development continues. Of course, it should remain individual, as a Julia, frustrated with her married life, was naturally more receptive to sex anyway, and other characters might not take this direction so quickly. If the dynamic remains this way, I'm happy, because this monotonous approach has always bothered me.

cheers man, glad we can agree!
I do think that the formula of: rubbing/foreplay/touching --> oral --> simulating sex --> sex, etc. can grow tiring. I remember in TGO that Lillian and Erica had sex relatively quickly, which I am guessing was to change things up from ToN as all the women followed the same progression sexually. NLT tries to balance it all but it's tricky to do.
Obviously people will still whinge, but in the real world, some people can go straight to fucking before any foreplay, but for whatever reason, in these types of games it can be seen as a negative (make it make sense
).I'd hope Julia can have some more solo scenes with Ethan before involving other women. I do suspect she will have a (non-touching) scene with Grace, and something both with Anya and Margaret...
I dunno that you'd necessarily call this a bug, but getting stuck in a corner waiting on an NPC to move so you are no longer trapped sucks.
For me most of the time, at least previously. it would not load. I would get an error message. That is why I thought I had all of the updates. I was expecting to get an error message when I first started the game if I was missing an update.

Okay so just to clarify I will need to play every update so that my save won't be kind of corrupted? I'm aware the version number signifies the amount of percentage to completion so planning to play again when it reaches 80 percent or so. Last version I was played was v0.39

If you are waiting for 80% mark. You'll be better off just downloading the full version instead of doing each and every update one by one.
No, you don't have to play every update. But you have to install every update in the correct order.
And if you don't intend to play every update as it comes out, you are better off just downloading the full game when you want to play.

Do not press the X key.
Instead, place the MC where the X is in the screenshot.
Does anyone know the update schedule? There used to be a countdown on the NLT website but it's no longer there.

Every 2nd and 15th. But then you have to wait for someone to upload it
Just a quick question. Is this a new episode of the Lust Epidemic, ToN, and TGO saga, or another saga?
