what's the point of the "friends" thing on the phone if you cannot navigate past past portia (the last visible friend on the grid), my quest says i've to speak to Ursula but can't find out where she is because her name begins with the letter "U" and the friends list only displays as far as the letter "P"
Ursula can be found until 3 pm at the high school. When you enter a location your friends list will update with all the NPC's on site including the permanent NPC/LI's like Xena. If you mouse over them while in the friends list it will give you current location info.

Are you supposed to be able to get anyone pregnant currently (0.16.3)? So far, nothing of that kind has happened, and a number of the characters once reaching 100% for their stats, no longer have the option for sex.

There's also mention that one of your sisters partakes in beastiality , but there's no scenes of this, and you can't talk about what happens behind your house with Erica either.

Are these intended at this point in the story, or a bug?
Only those characters marked with a "P" in the upper left corner of their photo in the friends list can be made pregnant. There is also a current cap of 3 for available babies so that excludes at least 1 of the 4 Enhuman "sisters" while the other 3 are pregnant. The 4th can be made "pregnant", but in appearance only.

Is aging still behind the paywall?
From the OP:

The Hard Way Free version 0.16.3 Free is now available for download.
  • Added aging fun and expanded sex events for Summer. Expanded sex events for Meora.
I'm running the full v 0.17.2, but the free version is supposed to be updated with aging. In the friends list you will see an "A" in the upper left corner of the photo on the characters that have the aging update along with a "P" for the 4 Enhuman "sisters" that can be made pregnant.

This one needs either a fix for relationship labels or an incest patch. Currently there is the definite article in from of the relationship tag such as "A Mother" for Debbie and the rest, or "A Sister" for younger girls. It gets a bit annoying. IMO "Mom" for Debbie and/or Mother for the rest would be less irritating. It is quite wonky to read, "She is your A Mother" or "She is your A Sister".

I hope the non Dogs lofts apartments we see when cleaning around town are where the woman all live. I'd really love for Bruce to bed Gloria, and then have a threesome with Debbie, Xena and Yevette.

Sidenote: I wonder what Lyra's reaction will be when she finds out she's been getting cozy with her brother?

Is it just me or does anyone else find all the scientific stuff rather exhausting? There's a ot of dialogue with the girls and they usually drown you in super complicated info dumps.

I have not played since the second update. Does the game still crash all the time because of "tampered game files" when I have no idea how to tamper with the game files?
