Saves are disabled on the most recent version. I try to save at the beginning of the day, and even two weeks into the game, I'm unable to save the game.

Other feedback: I'd never played wordle before and had no idea what I was expected to do when I was forced to be a secretary. I eventually figured it out. But,it would have helped to get at least some basic instructions. I spent the first half of the day confused as to what I was supposed to do.

I'm also having trouble even opening the mod loader. I have Java on my computer, but it's currently unable to load that .jar application. The mod installation instructions didn't really help all that much. I tried to follow the instruction, it just never opens. I have a windows 11 build does anyone know how to get it to work?
With regards to the mod-loader:
Make sure to as the one you might use isnt the correct one. As long as you are running at least java 1739868994866.png
it should work without problems. You should have version 2.0.7 of the mod loader.

I am always baffled how what we old people used to call 'self imposed rules' seems to be a technical issue for so many. Simply dont save.
For argument's sake let's asume that I am the only person who enjoys the thrill of games like "Karryn's Prison" where getting to the next save point before something "bad" happens is a key part of the gameplay.

Possible modifiers:

- Access to the save bathroom is not available on some days because it is currently being cleaned.
- You need to earn specific pills in order to upload the current save state of your DNA.

But what about all those people who actually want to be able have access to some more saves after a 15-30 minute long secretary work shift?

Available Save Slots

Under "Save Games" currently you can find "Autosave" and "Slot A" to "Slot O".

This could be the optimal place to add additional slots for

- Story save
A line of code after or before key moments can trigger an automatic save into that slot.

-Timeslot save
A line of code that triggers an automatic save when the game moves to the next time slot after an activity.
Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night.

- Session save
A line of code that triggers an automatic save into that slot before returing to the Title Screen.

Players could then customize their prefered difficulty by adjusting the types of saves that are accessible to them in their current play-through.

Having the choice of going back to a save is always better than not having the option. If you want consequences, don't reload. The only person you're cheating is yourself.

Some mods get integrated yes, but not all the time. There was two outfit mods that expanded the base game wardrobe and the exhibitionist mod that got integrated for example. Dev already said they want to integrate the Office Babes mod in the future as well.
Pity I guess I must get with the modloading to check those extra locations, characters and bargirls.
Alright thanks.

I'm just going to report this bug here:
-If i start the game with a custom character and introduce myself to a girl at the bar i get stuck in a blank screen like this:
Untitled.png
-However if i switch to a girl and do the same thing it works as intended:
Untitled1.png
- One last thing, If i play as an original character i don't get this issue at all neither as a guy nor as a girl.

How to increase points gained while working as secretary those 20 and 25 points not budging. Not using mods just normal.
Do you complete the wordle puzzles?

They'll get you points and a "flow state" that boosts regular work point gains.

Not being able to save is part of the key mechanics and the flow of the games you listed. It is a design choice because it is an integral part of the game itself. X is nothing like that at all by design which is why I commented in the first place. In X that wish can be achieved by self imposing rules and simply acting accordingly with the given mechanics. In a horror game not feeling save and not being able to save is by design and creates the overall experience. It would do nothing for X if implemented as you ask.

The majority just wants to be able to play a session of various length, save and come back to it whenever they have time again. Not every game is meant to be competitive by nature nor are players competing for anything here. So saves are just that - save points to get back to after ending a session or making a bad/wrong/accidental decision.

I doubt that Aphrodite is going to make changes to the save/load interface any time soon (though there may be changes to the internal save format), so maybe you need to make a mod to accomplish what you want.

When I first started playing this game, you could only save in the morning. It was odd, but I got use to it and would only replay a day if things really went south on me. When asked, Aphrodite shared her views on this very thread on how she didn't want this game to become a "save before every encounter/event" fest. But later, she added the restroom saves due to demand and I had thought the issue settled. Now I don't use the restrooms, too use to morning saves to break the habit. And like to think I'm pretty good at judging how well my day went. Last time I got the urge to replay a day was due to while having a good sale demo, but picked the wrong movie and lost a few pts with step-sis.

So my suggest is to kick it to those modders that understand code and create that save mod. Base game I don't think it really needs due to varies reasons. Bad/wrong/accidental decisions are a part of the game, and since there isn't a time limit one could easily come back for another try later. For "ending a session", I can understand that one when having to log off due to something in RL. But I've never had that prefect day of play where that wasn't anything more then a minor inconvenient. Could replay any day and likely have the same outcomes.

Thanks for the response. I reviewed your advice and double checked some things. I downloaded Java 1.8-441 x64 version, since that is the most recent available for free on Oracle. I made sure the cmd prompt looks for the Java file association "Java(TM) Platform SE Binary" just as Oracle indicates. After that, clicking on the file to open it results in it opening the file for just a second and then it immediately closes. I don't know why. I was using .jar 2.0.7 of the mod loader.

Sadly, real life happens and I wasn't trying to save scum. I'm perfectly fine saving once a day, or when I leave. But, right now I'm unable to save EVER.
