Anyone else having problems downloading the expansion? I get to the 3rd screen and input my credit card information then after it is confirmed it just takes me back to the previous screen w/out the option to download. I checked my online bank statement and the payment definitely went through, kinda pissed atm.

Yeah I got the same problem I sent an email asking Chaotic about that problem. He got back to me and said that a lot of other people encountered the same problem.
He recons it's a Paypal Problem he spoke to them but at this stage they have no answer for that issue.
So basically it means you cant get the expansion unless you join the members section which isn't worth it.

Very disappointing.

I'm in the same boat. I tried to buy the expansion after he told me he wouldn't be re-running the $8 membership special of this past March. No go with a CC. I have two (?!) $1 authorizations on my card, but no confirmation emails from Chaotic's shop nor invoices from PayPal. I did, however, receive a nice automated email from Chaotic welcoming me to his shop even though I didn't sign up for his shop when I attempted my purchase.

As i recall, PayPal are having issues again with there... well what ever it is they use (servers?). Any way. Hopefully you all either get your money back or get the EP. It is a nice add to the main game you should find it enjoyable.

Anyone have any luck downloading this game yet? I let the problem slide over the holiday weekend, but it's Wednesday now and the problem still isn't fixed and I've yet to hear back from chaotic. Very frustrating, considering just trying to find it somewhere else online.

Well I thought Fuck it and decided to pay for full membership.

To my surprise it only cost me $6.99 USD

Cheaper than buying the addon and got access to the entire offsite.

Consider me happily Surprised.

Now just waiting for the download it is huge 684mb.

It has been long established that he doesn't... From memory both of the sci-fi games plus Nelena have been around for some considerable time but are still members only.


Actually he does. He moved Pool Party and Lucy (I believe) from the members section. One not long after Lisette was released and the other after Zoe.


Anyone care to tell me which game was moved into the public area when Maddison 2 was released?

Lissete was moved when Maddison was released... I don't think any game will be moved due to "Final Cut".

Chaotic also usually waits a month or so before moving a game to the free section. Which makes sense since he wants people's focus on the pay portion when he releases an off-site game.

Well that was sneaky of him! I just tried to sign up and it's back to $19.99. Oh well.

Well when I went to pay for the offsite membership it was advertiesed as $19.99.
When i went through the signup process and completed the transaction that's when I found out it had been reduced to $6.99.
As that is all I was billed.

I am guessing he has fixed that now although I'm still happy.
Although the addition is not bad I found it near impossible to trigger the continue date section.
The only way I was able to get any further than the day part of the game was to change the required variable in the script.

This was a very common problem with everyone, which is why Chaotic added "Easy" mode. It doesn't change the game at all except for adding 5 points to your lust and inf variables at the start of the game. It doesn't sound like much, but it really makes all the difference if you take every opportunity to get those variables up. There is still a chance that you won't get enough every playthrough because the bar conversations are chosen randomly and reward those variables differently.

Personally, after beating the game every which way legitimately I just went into the files and changed the required amount for each check to "> -1" thereby making it always true and making the game more enjoyable.
