I've given up. All of my SanchoMod saves are toast. Even with the savefixer installed. My variables are screwed up. I have to start Season 3 over. I had roughly 15 paths. This is going to take a while.

But once it's done, it's done. And I won't be adding any mods going forward. I'm just glad I don't have to start from season 1. I only had to scrap one route with this change. And that was the Chick "Others" route with Quinn included because that's impossible.

I'll take my time since the next episode won't be available until 2026 most likely.
Expect late 2026 altho i hope for a summer release

Not anymore, now it's more like about Josy, who is unhappy even if you have a balanced successful Throuple and doesn't quite know what she wants.
Josy is unhappy because she was straight until Maya and she totally loves the mc and is in the throuple for the wrong reasons as ultimately she doesn't love Maya in the same way, I think Josy would have broke up with Maya if the mc hadn't been with both of them.

The reason why I think Jill's & Sage's confessions of love are the best (alongside Maya's) is because they come from a place of affection and actual love.

Josy doesn't quite 'love' MC, she loves the idea of being with MC. Out of all of the love interests, she's the only one who lacks a deeper connection with Tremolo. The reason why MC & Maya have a stronger bond is because of not only her problems with her dad, but also due to their personalities. She's a bit more shy and he's a bit more assertive. Opposites attract in this case. She's the opposite of Josy: she wasn't really interested in MC at the start, at least nothing more than a friend. But she grew to like MC 'that way' due to his caring nature and her vulnerable emotional state.

Josy's obsession with MC is no different than Zoey's desire to be a surfer: she tries it out and it's rocky. Just like Zoey eventually gave up on it because it wasn't just how she dreamed of it, Josy & MC's relationship is doomed to fail due to a one-sided infatuation from Josy's side. MC doesn't feel that strongly for her, even on a Josy-centric path.

That's just my reading of it ofc.
I also gave josy a chance. I am not a fan of the trouple but I decided to make a path where MC says he has feelings for her. So he says that to derek, says that to her twice. But in the end of this last ep, her conversation with Maya was so weird. She ends up accepting maya proposal and not caring much for mc as long as she gets the attention she thinks she deserves attended.

After that I decided to erase that path where MC says to have feelings for since ep5 in a conversation with derek and avoiding to say those things for her ever again. And funny enough she still confesses to him in the pillow fort, even if MC doesn't correspond. She is the only one being forced on MC since the start. The others are avoidable, not josy.

I think her only obsession is his D. That is the only obssession she has. He probably was the only D she had and she liked it and she still think about it.

I got to disagree, Josy is fully in love with MC and he with her out of all the MG. Out of the girls no one loves MC more then Josy there I love you scene was so perfect

It's speculation, that the locked room is the child's room
I seen a post someone made that Bella gets upset when you call her Mommy, and kind of looks away when you mention that Jill isnt her daughter.

DPC did all that Maya foreshadowing. I am 100% all in on it being a nursery or kids room of some sort.

Now I'm not even sure that Throuple is possible to save, even if you treated both girls equally.

I don't think it is, because remembering back to the opening scenes of one of the chapters where the mc says that if he had known then what he knows now he would have run, when talking about Bella.
I wonder what could terrify MC so much

She may have had mental issues, most likely the lost child was the cause, it doesn't seem like that's still a problem now. I'm all in in dark and depressive runs :cool:


She went from cringe and boring to amazing in two updates.


Yep, her face is terrible. But seems to be cool personality.
I dont like that she has everything too big. I don't like fat ass and tits, I like a good proportion lol

You know what's funny? Before season 3, my top 3 favorite paths would be Jill, J&M and Isabella.

Jill lost my interest after her horrible Halloween costume she wears when she's in a relationship with the mc. Also if Jill starts a relationship with the mc, she'll never come out of her shell. At least that's how I understood the convo between Jill and Sage at Isabella's panty party (when not on Jill's path). So in my opinion it's in Jill's best interest to stay single, at least until she reforges herself into something more.

J&M didn't lose my interest as much, but just like the mc, I'm kinda bummed out because of the lame reaction of the mc's father. I mean, couldn't you be supportive or something? Though the whole sister-fucker thing is funny as hell.

Isabella, while I like her character, I'm kind of feeling ominous about the ending of ep 11. Also she is still married, is the teacher of the mc.... yeah what can possibly go wrong, eh?


So at this moment, if I were to evaluate my top 3 again it would be;
1. Sage
2. Lily (my queen got demoted to 2nd place after playing Sage's path)
3. Others/none/Zoey

What I liked most was the love confession of the mc to Sage.

Lily's shenanigans were also very entertaining, though I kinda feel bad for Sage when playing this path, especially when I went with Sage's branch instead of Derek's.

Others/none/Zoey; I kind of mashed them together since you can almost play this in one playthrough, just with save scumming. I liked the last couple episodes in that it became a lot more interesting to not be on the main girls paths and just to fuck around. And Zoey, I only "like" her when you're not on a path, if you are, then I kinda resent her for trying to drive a wedge between the mc and his girlfriend. So in that regard Sage was right by not trusting Zoey


So yeah the title of the episode delivered; it was a "paradigm shift" from mostly Chick path affinity to mostly Dik affinity :p

It doesn't feel genuine, more like Josy was fishing for it and MC just tells her that since it's something you do to your girlfriend, you know?

It feels more real with Maya, it's not forced and there's actual chemistry there. Beyond sex or lust, actual love.
Interesting, that wasn't how I read it, as she doesn't act/seem disappointed if she doesn't get it said to her. I'll have to revisit that scene again.

Why late 26?
Even just looking at season 3 you can get an idea of trajectory
9 months to 9
12 months to 10
15 months to 11

Based on this it could be argued 18 months for 12 putting it in June or mid 2026

Bella has gone down in my estimation a lot, mostly because the path feels stagnant. I'd rank:
  1. Sage
  2. Zoey
  3. Nicole
  4. Quinn
  5. Nora
  6. Bella
  7. Jill
  8. M&J
