Update 5/10

Gonna be releasing a new update today, so I guess I should get to work, huh?

12:35pm: New traits added: Shopaholic, Fast/Slow Metabolism, Big/Light Eater, Neat Freak. Now on to finishing Lydia.

3:25pm: Lydia is complete up until the point that you get her phone number. So, she's at the point that Genevieve was stuck at for months, but hopefully not as long for her. I think she'll be more fun to write anyway. Now, on to the Internet Reporter job promotion.

5:48pm: New update.

Update 5/10

Still didn't get everything on the update list, so expect that to happen in the next update. But most of it's done.

Major Updates:
- New job promotion (Journalism): Internet Reporter. There's one new event, and another that will be added in the next update (it's far more complicated than most other job events, annoyingly).
- New character: Lydia. She has a 10% chance of showing up in the mall when you go, but just because she's there doesn't mean she'll talk to you. After all, how would you deal with someone who walked up to you and said "hi" in the mall, when you didn't know them? You have to wait for your chance. She currently proceeds until you get her phone number.

Minor Updates:
- New trait: Shopaholic - You love shopping at the mall. Going to the mall reduces arousal once per day. Not going to the mall increases your arousal at the end of the day.
- New trait: Fast Metabolism - Meals are less fattening, but eating too little will have even worst consequences on your health at the end of the day.
- New trait: Slow Metabolism - Meals are more fattening, but not eating while overweight will actually reduce your weight (functionally: if weight < 60 and fullness = 0, then weight + 2 [thinner], else health loss per usual).
- New trait: Big Eater - Meals are less filling, allowing you to eat more.
- New trait: Light Eater - Meals are more filling, but eating very little no longer carries a risk of health loss. Eating nothing still results in health loss.
- New trait: Neat Freak - Apartment cleanliness stays at spotless longer and gets dirty slower, but having a very dirty apartment will increase your arousal due to stress.
- Adjusted trait: Slob - Apartment cleanliness will never get to Spotless, but will also never get to the worst levels of dirtiness.
- Maternity clothing descriptions are now complete for all levels of pregnancy up to birth.
- New clothes: Polo shirt and khakis, french maid outfit, japanese maid outfit, jumpsuit. All of these are for the maid job: the polo shirt will prevent maid reputation from reaching either extreme, maid outfits will prevent reputation from being professional, and jumpsuit will prevent reputation from being slutty. You can only have one type of outfit.
- You can now decline a promotion at the strip club three times and get the relevant outfit as a "reward".
- New clothes: cheerleader outfit.

NOTE: All new clothes DO NOT have proper player descriptions! Do not report this! I already know!


Bug Fixes
- None. I didn't get to any of the bugs that have been reported yet. I'll work on those for the next update.

  1. First, thank you for good game. I like in general games where there are lot of options on the paths to take. I have couple of questions:
    1) What is the earliest time (hour) we can expect tis next update?
    2) Is there or will there be option to change careers more radically? As in from say blogger path to business path or other combinations.

    1. if you want to change careers, you have to be fired from your job, then maria's folders from the first choice are supposed to come back, and you can choose again.

  2. Any chance a sweater will be one of the new clothes options? It's kinda weird that you can have these awesome sweater puppies but no sweater to put them in.

  3. It would also be nice to have a sweater rather than the overcoat, so we could be warm, and also wear a raincoat. It's kind of odd that we have to choose.

    Also, high arousal event for Gym maybe? Bunch of hot sweaty fit people in a room, handy shower areas nearby. I'm kind of disappointed you can't get into any sexy funtimes at the gym.

  7. Bug with the light eater trait: after you qualify for it, you'll gain it again after every action. I've currently got it five times. (It also applies again after loading a save game.)

  8. Seemed to be having bad luck with the office work. I did cheat to skip intro and set a few things high and as desirable, but Office promotion seemed to not work correctly, kept re-asking if I wanted to take the new promotion, and it doesn't update the time normally (but those go overtime options the job's full of still work, so it can be escaped from.)

  9. You can clean your apartment in the Late Night time block from the bedroom, though the other rooms check the time and tell you it's too late.

  10. Huh. I've lost all of my phone contacts. I saved the game I'd been paying in the 4-26 release, re-opened it with 5-10, and everything has been dropped out of my call list. Re-opened in 4-26, and they show back up again. Of course, I could be doing something stupid. That's always a possibility.

  11. Several things such as phone contacts and computer programs are broken when loading with a new version of the game.

  12. i think i have a bug for you. i started the waitress job, using the testing item, i set for next promotion, then refused, three times, and got to take my uniform home. now comes the weird part. i could only examine it, not wear it, and when i went to work, used the locker, it wasn't there, but i still got dressed, and went to work. then i get home, and it's gone from my closet. it happened with both the waitress, and the schoolgirl uniforms. once it happened the second time, i figured i should report it, just in case. if it happens with any of the others, i will let you know.

    1. the schoolgirl outfit went back into my locker after work, and i had to go decline three more promotions to get it again, and it just did the same thing.

  13. The light eater perk message keeps repeating after every action you perform.

  14. I found a couple bugs. You said you're only supposed to be able to get one of the maid outfits, but I was able to buy all of them. Except the Jumpsuit, but that one never showed up for me...

    Then when I was wearing the french maid outfit and I went to put on another outfit from the set, it put on everything on top of the maid outfit. I had to use the strip command to take everything off, but even that still left the maid outfit on. Thankfully at that point though, it was the only thing left on, so it I could just physically remove it at that point.
