Content-wise, the furry stuff is probably my least favorite thing added to the game so far, but it can generally be ignored. It's weird, because while I don't like furry stuff period, I don't really mind its presence as much in DoL...I think it just feels a lot more out of place in The Fixer's world, I guess.
I've been playing this game for the first time, and overall I think it's fantastic. I generally dislike Ren'Py games because they feel so on the rails, but this has the right combination of sandboxy life sim mechanics, player autonomy, variety, and good writing with interesting characters. Some constructive criticism, sorry if some of it seems harsh:
- I'm sure this has been mentioned endlessly, but performance is abysmal. It's so confusing too. I just don't understand why this game feels so sluggish when I can play something like RDR2 and not have problems. I've tried playing around with all the Shift-G options and nothing really helps. I can see my framerate dropping even when I hover over parts of the UI. It's just bizarre, and it really detracts from the overall experience. Playing this game feels like wading through molasses.
- I spend so much time searching this thread trying to figure out how to trigger things. I constantly fear that I'm missing NPC quests and character development. And the guide is extremely barebones and out of date. The game should do a better job of indicating when NPCs have reached a new interaction tier, like with exclamation marks or something, and maybe hinting more strongly at where things can potentially go and providing running updates on the NPC info pages. Between the lack of both in-game information and community information, it's hard to figure out what I can do now, what I can eventually do if I meet certain mysterious requirements, and what I'm potentially missing out on at any given moment.
- This one might not be popular, and I get that it's almost certainly too late to do anything about it anyway (it's even the title of the game). But I find the whole "fixer" backstory to be by far the weakest part of the game's narrative, and it feels at odds with everything else. It feels like the game was originally supposed to be centered around this espionage-related storyline, and then went off on this lewd life sim tangent (which it really succeeded at), and now the original story feels pretty tacked-on, jarring and unnatural, like two separate games squished together. I basically just do my best to ignore it and pretend it isn't "real" (i.e. "it was all a dream..."), because honestly, the whole "new body" thing actually detracts from my character's plausibility and makes what she goes through feel less important and real. If there needs to be this other story thread running through the game where she does jobs for a secretive government agency, there are less farfetched ways to set that up than "you basically died in a car crash and we miraculously put your brain in brand-new body, which we can subsequently customise at our whim to make you the perfect undercover agent". I guess what I'm trying to say is that it makes the MC feel inhuman. Which, to me, is a shame. Because a narrative-driven game like this in part succeeds based on its ability to make the MC feel human.

Yes, although IIRC it requires pretty high stats you're unlikely to have if you attempt it immediately after getting the mission.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.
Log in or register now.
Not only is it possible, once you are familiar with how the game works you pretty much have to deliberately tank the mission in order to fail.
Every time I see an update for this game, I start off excited...and then I have to remind myself that the work I put into making Sammy the way I want can be undone at any time when the code/parameters/whatever the fuck arbitrarily ignores it.
I'll keep waiting for a more stable build. Again.

Bug report regarding Creampie Lover perk:
- The "Creampie Lover" flag only flashes during anal sex, never vaginal sex
- Sometimes Sammy asks to pull out.
- Sometimes Sammy pulls out during glory hole event as well.
- During a partial pullout, Sammy complains as if she's trying to avoid a creampie entirely (incomplete content?)
- There is a cowgirl scene which always prompts the player to choose vaginal or anal sex.
Recommendations:
- If someone asks for, or attempts, anal sex, Sammy makes a check to turn it into vaginal sex instead.
- If someone attempts to pull out, Sammy makes a check to turn it into a creampie instead.

This has been an issue for ages. And I find it quite annoying. Especially since, without those traits, it's the player's choice, but once you have the trait, it's automatic, but constantly picks the wrong option. It's just stupid when a baby crazy creampie lover Sammy says pull out, I don't want to get pregnant.
Like, I literally had these right after each other, utterly nonsensical.
Example 1
Example 2
I got a save from the itch version, extracted it straight to the save folder and its not showing. pls tell me i did something wrong and its usable PLEASEEEEE
Are you using the correct save folder, i.e. the one in AppData, not the one in the game's root folder?
theres no AppData folder for me so i think i mightve used the root one:/ it was literally just labeled "saves"
If you're on windows you have an appdata folder. It's usually set to hidden by default, so you need to either enter the location manually or use a windows command to open it. For the command press the windows key (between ctrl and alt on your keyboard) and R This should open a window to run a command. Put in %APPDATA% and hit ok. That should open up the appdata folder. You specifically need "C:\Users\[YourUserName]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\TheFixer-1582640956".
tysssm! i had to do some replacing but finally did it. you really are the fixer, huh
I can't seem to get wine to show up in the slum after the booze dealer says he'll get some. Any tips here?
