What happened to everyones age? I remember you could input Suzie's age and set that way age for other girls, is that removed? Because now club dialogue with Georgia doesn't make any sense.

Your patch zip file is acting rather strange. As in... it might be infected somehow?
I extracted one file, characters.rpy, to Notepad ++ and as soon as the file opened, the ZIP file prompted me with this:
It did this for every rpy file in the ZIP, actually.
I opened several other zip files of a similar nature (patches/ipatch/whatever) and extracted a single rpy file and did not get that prompt.
Given the recent instances of malware infected files, this looks a bit suspicious.
Are you certain that your computer is not infected?

This would happen because I think you're attempting to unpack the zip by moving individual files. I don't know much computer speak but I don't think this is allowed. You must move the root folder out of the archive, not individuals within it.
My system is clean.

Opening individual files to view them is something I have done for ages with no such behavior, with WinRAR, WinZip, and 7zip.
I absolutely should NOT be prompted to add or replace files in the zip simply by opening a single file.
I'll do a full system scan on my end but there's something unique to this ipatch zip file, something that should not be happening. Not calling you out, but something is not right.
Probably one using metric numbering, aka 1k = 1000, while data is 1k = 1024. That diff adds up when ppl treat the prefixes as if they're metric. Especially when you get to gigs.
you can see here the file is clean. only 1 hit that is 100% a false poitive...

edit: i also dont experience any problems when opening the files inside the zip like you have. maybe its just a problem on your end.

Hi
You could also try using the 0x52_URM tool to edit ages, etc. Right click and save this file and drop it into your game folder. Run your game and hit ALT M together to bring up the tools interface. Enter the persons name in the search bar, change the age and click on remember. (I haven't done this with this title, but that is usually how it works using URM tool.)
Regards.

What has been the behavior of the malware here and other sites lately?
It does not get detected on a scan, because the malware is not in the file(s). The malware gets downloaded when you run the game. So you can scan zip files for malware all day and not catch it because it's not there in the files; it's downloaded later.
If someone has both WinRAR and Notepad++, please try this yourself. If you do not get prompted, then the problem is on my end somehow (though I can't for the life of me see how). If you do get the same behavior, though...
i tested it with 7zip and winrar and notepad++ no problems on my side

Then I am baffled.
This raises alarm bells, but I have ZoneAlarm Pro so if something tries to get outbound access to download crap, that will (or should) catch it.
I looked at the rpy files individually and found nothing. winrar acted normal for me. playing the (patched) game acted normal (didnt try to connect to internet)
if you decrypt the game, the original, unpatched rpy file also pops up as false positive

I'm using (paid) Malware Bytes and (paid) ZoneAlarm Pro. Nothing was detected by MWB, and I haven't run anything since seeing this behavior.
Those of you who do know how to dig further... I see a "pythonw.exe" file in ./lib/py3-windows-x86_64/ that is only 30k in size, but in other recent games that file is 105kb. Is that normal?
I do remember... something... about the downloader for the malware, being related to that location.

hmm, judging by the changelog and the introduction of new name tags at the start of the game i am guessing that's better to start a new game.
i have a fealling that somehow 2-4 updates later down the line something might break if i don't have a save file with the new tags registred properly
