Well, to be fair YOU fucked up your save, not this mod, so I'd say your previous methods of hackery suck, not SanchoMod as it had nothing to do with your issue at all. You're venting obviously but the issue is because YOU fucked up your save file by using a "All/Harem" force from something outside of SanchoMod which does NOT work and will NEVER work. That's on you, not me. You can't expect me to fix all your problems you gained while fucking up and performing shenanigans with other products/hacks, it's simply not my responsibility to fix your previous fuck ups. All you can do is blame yourself. There is no harem possibility with this VN unless someone takes the time to completely, 100%, rewrite the entire VN. Accept that or not, you do you.
1 - at the beginning of playing v.9.1 with your mod, it says something like "If you have used another mod before, click here to fix it. I clicked and .. it didn't fix anything.
2 - it is not only this loop in my save for ALL where i can not finish the free roam because the same scenes repeat endless, but i said OK maybe ALL is not possible and started to play the Maya and Josy route. This one goes only till the Haunting Basement. Once inside, i can put the light on the things needed to continue but clicking does NOT ZOOM so that i can not go on with that quest. So this route also ends here.
3 - I used scrappy's mod before , which is why i was asking if that mod was updated to 9.1
So i can no longer play this game, all i could do was to get the gallery unlocker for this version so i can at least see all the sex scenes. I also downloaded the saves from the OP link and hope they will work in the next update when it will be released.

Let's sort your issues by the order you listed them, so you completely understand WTF is going on:
That "fix" is for the beginning of S3 where when folks that had used that other mod got crashes during the opening dialogue between Tommy and Jacob (there's many posts about it in the VN's thread and this thread as well, here's one that shows where that scene is). So, yes, it does fix something, it just doesn't fix all the fuckups folks may or may not have done, it fixes specific issues ALL players had when using that other mod previously.
The loop issue has been addressed a thousand times. It's all due to using the "harem" feature of the the other mod. That's on you, not me. How is it my responsibility to sort that shit out when I had zero to do with it? If you wish to import my personal routes (all routes are available) that are completely free of any other mod or shenanigans then see the post here and follow the instructions EXACTLY (including the backup process so you can revert if desired later to your original fucked-up import files).
I have no idea what any other modder does or doesn't do. You'll have to address that in those particular threads. I don't work in collaboration with anyone except VN developers, period. I can't help you with point #3 for that reason.
I hope that sets some of this straight. At the end of the day you can take your aggravation out on me all you want but it won't fix anything. I had nothing to do with all these hundreds of folks with fucked-up save files and import files. That's solely due to using some other product which I have zero control over... so I feel it's complete bullshit that I have to keep addressing the issues repeatedly of all these things that have nothing to do with me or SanchoMod, and certainly aren't my damn responsibility. I'd think that some folks would be grateful that I've provided dozens of fixes for all these other mods and hacks that they've used in the past. SanchoMod itself has NEVER left anyone high and dry on any VN I have in the public catalog. I don't fuck around, I take all this very seriously... both my time and yours.
Regards. I now need a Crown & Coke refill.... a generous one.

- Hmm... I am tempted to try your solution with your personal routes. I would need to know what routes did you make there? Probably no harem, ok if that creates problems, but is there a Maya & Josy route? a Bella, a Jill, a Sage and very important, is there an "Others" route?
- For the moment i downloaded the saves from the OP link https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-v0-7-0-dr-pinkcake.25332/post-5618683 for use in the next update. Could i import those routes if something is missimg in your routes? I am mostly interested in the Bella route which was made so (as alternative) in those saves that it may fit to a further development into a MC/Bella/Jill threesome ending if that will happen. Is a similar route among yours too?
- A problem i see is that i made a lot of saves already with your mod on and my own imported routes which routes were all made with the scrappy mod. So if i click one of those saves by mistake, do i fuck it up again? I would delete those saves but I don't know where they are and clicking DEL on each one would take ages (if it even worked)
- In what order do I have to do it? Install v.91 again, then your mod, then backing and replacing BeingADIKSeason2Transfer1366998845 or your mod as last, after replacing?
- Can I use the Gallery Unlocker from here: https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-gallery-unlocker-v0-7-2-oej.81203/
with your mod? I know you have a gallery in the mod but as far as i have seen, your gallery is not unlocked, it seems I must first play those scenes to get them in the gallery. Or did i miss some button to unlock them in your mod?
Sorry if i went too hard on you but i understood that so that if i click that "fix" thing that would fix everything in my case where i imported saves made with the scrappy mod..

As long as the saves/imports have never used the other mod then you'll be fine. The one's in the VN's OP (that you linked to) are likely unmodded and are the purist. My personal import file contains all possible normal routes (no hackery). And for fuck's sake, stop with the Harem bullshit. There is no such normal scenario and that is what has lead you to where you are to begin with.
- In what order do I have to do it? Install v.91 again, then your mod, then backing and replacing BeingADIKSeason2Transfer1366998845 or your mod as last, after replacing?
The correct installation for SanchoMod is two steps: 1) install a fresh/unadulterated version of the VN (unhacked/modded/other shenanigans). 2) install the mod as directed (unzip it's contents inside the VN's /game folder). That's it. If you decide to use my personal SanchoMod import file then follow those instructions next (before you due there's a backup process for revertability and good practice). You'll have to change the name of the MC of course though, and that can be done within the mod. Those personal transfer file are meant to be used with SanchoMod, not unmodded. If you prefer to play unmodded then use the files/persistents in that link you have to the post in the VN's thread. Those are likely pure save files made playing an unmodded VN/game.
- Can I use the Gallery Unlocker from here: https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-gallery-unlocker-v0-7-2-oej.81203/
with your mod? I know you have a gallery in the mod but as far as i have seen, your gallery is not unlocked, it seems I must first play those scenes to get them in the gallery. Or did i miss some button to unlock them in your mod?
SanchoGallery has never been a locked gallery... it states that in every mod OP and in-game as well. The point of the mod's gallery is to be 100% unlocked while not tampering with the VN's gallery. The VN's gallery scenes are left untouched so they can be used by the player as "cheevos" (aka achievements). In other words if a scene is locked in the VN's galley and that scene is viewed within SanchoGallery, the VN's scene will still be locked afterwards. Regarding the "unlocker" mod you speak of I have no idea as I don't use any other mods and haven't for years.
Sorry if i went too hard on you but i understood that so that if i click that "fix" thing that would fix everything in my case where i imported saves made with the scrappy mod..
I understand that you are frustrated, just remember I am not the cause, I had nothing to do with the misery you find yourself in regarding these save file corruptions. I've made particular fixes for particular issues but have never claimed to have made a 100% fix for anyone else's fuck ups, it's not my desire to waste my personal time nor my responsibility to do so honestly. That said I did fix the mobile (unmodded) VN issue for those folks but that was easy and a no-brainer. The largest issue you folks with the "looping" bug/crash is because you tried to force a "harem" and the VN's conditionals can't handle all those routes/paths being abnormally engaged. There is no way for me to fix that since I have no idea what path/route is most important to each individual player. And, yes, I could code something and ask the player what they truly prefer regarding LI and make something as a "fix" but again, it's not my responsibility to take the hours of my personal time to fix an issue caused by someone else... that's not what SanchoMod's purpose is. It's a standalone product meant to be used solely with itself. If the player later decides they want to play unmodded then every single public SanchoMod has a specific "SaveFixer" in it's associated OP that the player can use to load the previous SanchoMod save files inside a pure/unmodded game. That's how I roll, that's the extra mile I go to protect the saves of folks that use this mod. You'll have to address specific issues with other mods with their respective authors. They might make fixes, they might not, but none have save file fixers for all their mods like I do... none.
Take all that for whatever it's worth. Hopefully something in this long-ass post will help you in one way or another. Regards.

- Sorry about the "harem" but by so many nice girls, LIs and .. "others" it is very hard for me to give up any of them. I would even share some of them (with other women and other men ) if they are so inclined, but chose only one? NO WAY!

- Yes, i red your extra explanation on how to install and import, I only don't know if i could import your saves PLUS ONE from those saves on the OP: the version with Bella which is open to a possible threesome with Jill in the future. If i can't have all, at least 2 of them on one side (Maya & Josy) and 2 others on another side (Bella & Jill). Ideal for me would be Josy & Jill & Bella, with Sage as a "fuck buddy" and also cheat a little with the others from time to time (mostly with Camila) but that will not going to happen.. Do you have a Bella route save at all in your saves? I see in your mod examples that you have the others but I don't see Bellla there:https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-...-9-1-multi-mod-sancho1969.109357/post-9694569

- I see.. i thought your gallery is accessible from the phone but that was the normal one not yours, and the normal one was of course locked.. I found yours now, it's OK i don't need the other one.

Modder: Sancho1969 F95 Mod Version: S2 v0.8.3 / S3 v0.9.1 Game Version: S1/S2 v0.8.3 & S3 v0.9.1 Language: English
Features:
Improved aesthetics with animated mod menus/screens, all fully customizable to tailor your personal experience.
Too many story branches got you down 'cause you can't remember which of your saves is which? I gotcha covered. Includes the Original SanchoMod save description feature. Often imitated (including the use of my GUI buttons) the SanchoSave is more intelligent and efficient, saving you keystrokes as it autoloads the save slot descriptions and it also allows you to completely escape the process of saving if you wish (I've personally not seen this feature with other imitations). Feature can be toggled on/off anytime as desired.
Adds multiple exhaustive stats screens always accessible via the MiniMenu or Options menu. Resizable, toggle-enabled, various formats, and more.
Adds in-game walkthrough (ChoiceGuide) noting all variable changes and highlighting important choices. Can be toggled on/off at anytime, play as YOU want to play. You are not forced to view spoilers if you do not wish.
Multiple opacity and text sizing options to customize your experience including dialogue boxes, text and fonts, QuickMenu sizing and format versions, and more. All can be toggled on/off as desired, again allowing you even more control to tailor your experience.
Adds a custom fully unlocked scene gallery (SanchoGallery) that runs completely independent.
Adds professionally coded custom cheats (SanchoCheats) if applicable (varies from port to port). S1/S2 Includes dynamic variable and mini game cheat options.
Adds the ability to view multiple scenes (SanchoSplits) if menu choice has a scene/route split.
Dynamic MiniStat guide for FreeRoam, DnG, Hangout events, Mansion events and more.
If you enjoy my mods and guides, please consider smashing the "like" to give me support. You won't see links or advertisements in any of my mods, all I ask is for your gratitude if you enjoy my work. Feel free to follow my profile where I post new mods, updates, and status of works-in-progress. If you find this particular mod beneficial and/or enjoyable, consider leaving a proper review and a "vote" so others might benefit from your personal experience. My personal thanks (as always) to the hardworking devs, compressors, and admins. Kindest regards and be well.
For those few scrub code bandits, please see the fine print below. Special note to a couple wanna-be hack "modders" out there: I know you're stealing my code for your personal monetary gain. Keep it up and I'll call you out publicly with ample evidence.
Always give credit to the rightful creator, show respect, and don't get your hand stuck in the cookie jar.
Easiest way without hacking it all up again: Load the save you want inside S2 with whatever mod you were using before, turn off all impossible paths (no harem) so it's more legit, export for S3, load inside S3 and you should be ok. The loop is caused by the conditional code in the VN getting stuck due to you forcing wonky paths/harems via "cheats" with some other mod/hackery previously.
Not sure if it's the mod, the base game, or a problem on my end... But the disco lights don't disappear for the post party scenes, especially if sided with Leon in Ep8+9, or vice versa with Jamie. There have been other parts where the lights haven't disappeared too, like when on Jill's route with the doctor.
Anyone know the command to turn them off?
Anyways, thanks for your hard work Sancho1969. Much appreciation.
Disco lights? Please, take a screenshot and post as a thumbnail or within a spoiler tag so I can visualize what it is you are talking about. I've never had an issue with scene effects carrying over to other scenes so maybe we can figure out what is going on with your situation. Regards.
Correct me if I'm wrong but that Quinn scene is after exiting the Ep9 free roam.... so I'm not sure how any Jamie/Leon scene plays a part since you can't exit the free roam to that Quinn scene from here:
For whatever reason, the disco lights overlay disappears permanently from that moment forward, after that scene occurs. Otherwise, they remain. Not on every playthrough. Only under certain conditions. No idea as to why.
I'll do some digging a bit later. I currently have too many projects open and my main system is pushing it's limits due to the amount of files I have open on my server... I'll check it out bud. I know it's not a mod thing but you've got me curious for sure.
Bud, don't apologize, it doesn't matter if it's only on your end... the point is that you are reaching out to find out why it occurring and how to resolve... when done courteously like you have then that's exactly what we'll do. Also, just to be clear, these "disco lights" you are referencing is that fog effect on both sides of Quinn in your posted pic example, yes? If it is then let me know if you're using an Nvidia or AMD GPU.. just in case it's a setting in those particular chips.
Much gratitude for your kindness. Yes exactly, the fog party effects. Not sure if it matters, but I usually turn off the "Special effects" in the settings because of the lag during the haunted mansion section. Using Intel for graphics.
I'll check it out later. I'm currently knee-deep in another VN mod update so I can't venture off of it too much or I'll lose train of thought (I'm coding a free roam). I'll remember this subject and let you know what I find and how we might resolve the issue. It can't be too difficult especially if it's occurring during only one specific instance (the fog effect). We simply need to find where it first initiates and where the dev has the effect turned off so we can analyze the situation as a whole.
Easiest way without hacking it all up again: Load the save you want inside S2 with whatever mod you were using before, turn off all impossible paths (no harem) so it's more legit, export for S3, load inside S3 and you should be ok.

Dude, i use only this mod in entire time in my gameplay(season 1-2), and this mod has the harem route. Stop fcking blaming me or others. How should i know the in future this is going to happen. I don't have much time and i wanna see the all thing.

Dude, I will blame you as it's solely you who did what you've done, it certainly wasn't me. SanchoMod has no harem cheat since it was known from reading the VN's code that it wouldn't work without a complete VN rewrite. Regardless of how much time you have, because you fucked up your S1/S2 gameplay and therefore your export file I'm giving you the solution to correct it. Could I personally fix your existing saves? Yes, probably but I'm not to blame for you've done previously using anything other than the product(s) I graciously provide publicly. Taking your frustrations out on me will solve nothing, I didn't put you in this situation.

I didn't blame you for anything. You are the one being negative about it and i know you are try to be helpful i really appreciate it, thank you. But you should stop assuming everyone try the other mods or other some kind of stupid shit. If i am not mentally ill or something else i strongly remember there is a choice that you can choose and open the path with all girls in season 2.

Bud, the only way to get that looping bug is from using the other mod previously. This is undeniable fact. This is not me poo-pooing on anybody. It's the sole cause of the issue so how in the world can I help folks that are asking for assistance in this mod's thread without giving them the cause and the solution... as the solution requires the same "tool" that was the cause. I've only given facts and resolutions, haters are reading into things as I could personally care less what anyone uses on their own to do anything they wish to do. That's never been my MO.
What is my MO is calling bullshit when necessary though. This is not negative but a positive in my point of view... that's certainly the intent. You see, when folks don't know the cause they naturally think that it's the product they are currently using being the cause. Again, I'm not to blame for these issues so I have zero choice but offer the the cause. Again, I'm not shitting on anyone else, I'm fully explaining the circumstance so folks realize it's not me that fucked up with all these issues being addressed here. If me explaining that fully hurts anyone's feelings then that's on them. Everyone is accountable for their own actions, I won't be held accountable for someone else's actions. I think that's fair and just.
I hope that explains my stance. The only other option I have is to ignore the issues addressed to me with those folks assuming it's my product that is causing them misery... and that is a very shitty option.
Check your PMs. Enjoy not having to start from scratch. BUT: fair warning, you may have adjusted variables with another mod or hack that might fuck you later... just know it's possible, I have zero control over that.
And what do you mean "but it didn't exist"? I'm sure it does, it would be very odd for it to be removed. Hell, this clown even posted a link to it in this thread!
Hello Sancho1969 . Do you still have that custom code to fix the issue that makes the game crash after Rusty asks MC to buy the windows ? (just when MC says "(He must be feeling guilty as hell.)")
It seems like I have the exact same issue as this guy you helped, even if I don't understand how it is possible... I didn't use any other mod on this playthrough.
I used "the other mod" in 0.8, then stopped playing the game for... more than one year probably. I started to play again a few weeks ago on a fresh 0.8.3 version + your mod. I noticed that the 0.8.3 managed to find all my previous saves, but I'm sure I started a new game and erased an old save, so... How is it possible to have a side effect in 0.8.3 from another mod, installed on 0.8 in another directory ? Maybe because of the existing saves ? Probably a subtlety of Ren'Py that I'm not aware of... or maybe I just fucked up and don't remember ?!
Anyway, thanks for your work on the mod. Impossible for me to go back to anything else now that I know how to use it. I remember being reluctant to use it in the past, not sure why.
You nailed it. Well done. That is the correct answer. Loading ANY save that had been using the other mod (and possibly other techniques folks might have used on their own) has that info still embedded in the save even if you played a bit without it or with SanchoMod. Yes, it's a RenPy thing and not a "bug", save files are intended to keep all user variables... and that means it saves all the "cheats" you've done in the past, etc.
Anyway, I'm knee-deep updating another mod. Give me a bit to find a stopping point so I can load up this project and figure out where your at and what is going on... I'll BBL with a response for you.
