Is there a way to make it so that the picture window for character looks is allways on or will it be added into the cheats eventually similarly to the other GL when you folks manage to get them working again?

Really liking this mod otherwise, having played the other version a lot and after reading this thread i have high hopes for when you fellas eventually get to the state where its time to add new content instead of just fixing the mess.
That option would actually be an oversight on my behalf as that should be a regular game setting and not a cheat and thus it should show. I'll make sure it will be part of the game settings for the next update!

Another bug, I don´t know if already reported: sometimes, if I click "wait", I only get again and again the screen "wait" and "smoke a cigarrete", and not the one to go away, so I have to use "emergency exit" to continue playing.

PD. OK, I have seen it was reported already.

Both are centralized standard functions and have been adjusted to be a little more sensitive with the next update.

Right now, this game (as a lot of erotic or porn games) is like living in "Groundhog day": a lot of boring, repetitive tasks, always waiting the "event" that sometimes last hours until happen.

Idea for this mod: could be possible to "speed up" the game? Events more often, faster relationships, earning money faster, learning skills faster... So, you would not need cheats and would not need to spend 200 hours in finishing this game, pretty boring most of them.

What you describe is a typical trade off that comes with 'realism'. I use to make jokes in our discord about giving the users the 'GL light' version which would basically be a fap-scene selector where you simply click to get the next scene. Probably not really going to be a lot of fun as just randomly selecting something on the pornhub would be more rewarding.

Making any kind of realism usually requires some kind of 'grind' or 'repetition' to simulate 'progression' which is why people usually play a game - to get the 'reward' for all the hard work or to simply entertain themselves. In terms of 'Girl life' making things faster by default would basically eliminate the base concept of the game itself and its title.

Getting pregnant and popping out children in just a few days would for example destroy any kind of illusion of a 'life'. Same goes for the money - already now you can earn more money in just a month than most average people will earn in Russia in a year not to talk about you being depicted as the daughter of just a common family. One of the attractive features for many if not a majority of users has been the mix of 'realism' with the utmost hilarious ability to fast lane down a slut route that isnt possible at all in real life.

As some of our changes aim to change some core behaviour of all NPC to become more lively we are also going away from static quest routes and pure randomness (aka re-playability). A simple example where we already did what you are asking for is doing small things like offering you an active choice for condom usage with your brother. In the original code the only way to get pregnant by your halfbrother would have been purely random and via him peeping in the shower. In our mod you can actively 'mount' him as a morning pleasure and decide if protection should be used or not. Player choices instead of being forced down a fixed or random route is one of our overall mantras by the way and should make things more speedy to achieve inside the 'realism' boundaries that are the base for all current content.

Thanks for the answer. Well, There is an average term between a "fap-scene selector" and repeating dozens of times the same boring task in order of get a skill, money or a better relationship with somebody. Example: when you talk with Vera in the trainstation, you need to talk with her a lot of times and get the same answer sveral times before you get her whole story... I´m tired of reading about her lesbian experience again and again. If there are not new events every few minutes of game, people will get bored of the game. Right now, the game is too long for the number of events. Since the number of events is limited, the answer is to shorten playing time, I.M.O. I understan the concep of "repetition" and "reward", but right now, the repetition last too long, again I.M.O. It is a question of balance between repetition and fun

Anyway, I´m just talking. I don´t know if that is too difficult to do. I just made a suggestion.

And this kind of feedback is what we actually appreciate and what leads to us changing base functions etc. I stated that almost all events are currently 'random' based because i am very aware of those situations you describe like the Vera talks.
Changing the entire content to NOT use pure randomness is and will be a major task not easily done but we nevertheless try to make things gradually better in that regard. Relationship is part of the 'old' system which wont survive very long once the base cleanup of locations has progressed just a bit further. I stated in a earlier posting that 'relation' in our coding will just be the level of a 'relationship' between an NPC and the player in terms of 'unknown', 'acquaintance' etc. Thus checks for an event will no longer be tied to some arbitrary value that requires lots of talking. Our system will change 'sympathy' depending on player's choices and thus opening or closing certain paths in events and/or quest lines. Fixing a relationship in one or the other direction might become more difficult but will also be more consistent in terms of logic.

One reason i am very cautious about some of the stuff in our pipeline is simply to avoid too early expectations of something that takes still some time to be implemented in a stable and consistent form. The 'time' cheat missing is one of the reasons as we have been looking at the implications of 'fast forwarding' in our code base. With the availability of that cheat you will most probably find a game setting that allows you to 'skip' over standard days (days where you will just attend school, eat &sleep etc and wont take part in any events).

So if I installed the 0.6.1 image pack I can't use the mod?
You would most probably have a lot of places that wont show correctly or any picture at all. In any case you would need the update packs just meant for the mod.

I think I have found a bug: I can´t go with Mira to the meadow. I invite her as a guest, I go to the meadow, but she is not there with me.

When Sveta goes to the cafe, find it closed and sees her mother having sex with the owner of the cafe, does the option of "make a picture from the phone" works? Because I click that option and nothing happens.

PD. If Svate check out her brother early in the morning and "mount him", there is no choice for following to a next scene and the only choice is to use the "emergency exit"

Not sure about the brother but I know the mother scene doesn't work as it was implemented to serve as an Easter egg

Does the pregnacy test works? Because "my" Sveta is pregnant 5 moths according the clinic, and not pregnant according the pregnacy tests... By the way, ¿What happens about pregnacy? Sveta has said she´s pregnant to a couple of friends and mom, but nothing more happens and her body doesn´t change... What happens after giving birth?

The pregnancy test is checking for the amount of 'chems' and will not trigger below a certain threshold. It has been reported before and we are going to look at that more in depth as that isnt harmonized or explained either thus pregnancy looks like a major construction site when touched.
