Kelly and/or Ashlee appear at the crash site as a kind of 'last temptation' if Silvers does not have enough evidence against either James or Anna. The easiest way to get that ending is to go through the game as fast as possible, doing absolutely nothing.

Otherwise, things that make Anna more likely to be infected include:
Finding out about her magazine photoshoot
Finding out about her hardcore website appearance
Finding out about her past boyfriends from Kim
Finding the hotel receipt
Learning that Tammy has also had sex with Anna
Catching Anna with Silvers (if they're actually having sex then Anna is always suspected)

So don't look at porn in class, don't ask Kim about Anna, don't have sex with Tammy, and don't go anywhere near room 13 on day 3.

You may also want to avoid having sex with Anna (especially not in semi-public places), although in my experience that's not necessary.

You do not need to break up with Anna. The only ways to do that are to tell her that you've had sex with Kim or to catch her with Silvers and confront her with the hotel bill. The latter will ensure that Anna is infected. The former may do, depending on how much of Anna's past you find out from Kim or if you tell Mickey that you've broken up with Anna.

NB. in my experience if Anna has accrued some suspicion, but James has acted in a very suspicious way (eg. having sex with Ashlee) then only James will be infected at the crash site. However, if you reload and avoid having sex with Ashlee then only Anna will be infected. So it's not a case of building up enough 'suspicion points' and that person then being infected.

There is also a bug where Anna says that Kelly was at the crash site, even if she wasn't, which you seem to have encountered.

Indeed, it does seem that I have encountered this bug... I was worried that there was a way to trigger Kelly's arrival at the crashsite when James is suspected but Anna is not, but i could not find it... just as I cannot find if there is a trigger for the image of the 2or3 girls showing their dripping rears together...

I am trying to keep both Anna and James unsuspected while still accomplishing as much sex as possible (the most detailed story I can get for each of the endings). I managed to keep Anna unsuspected but only by becoming a suspect myself. I must have accidentally tripped an Anna-tick, asked Kim about Anna ONCE or something of that sort, because I failed to keep us both unsuspected even without knowing about her magazine shoot, website, detailed past via Kim, reciept, room 13 on Day3, and Tammy...
Indeed it seems that, if James avoids detection, ANY evidence regarding Anna (including events prior to the meteor-crash) put her under suspicion...
I guess I'll try once more. After this, my own detailed walkthrough should be complete, and I'll probably be burned-out on Meteor.

I follow indication for ending 3 in walkthrough but in day 4 after james is done with ellie, how can he goes to the crash site ?

One thing I forgot is if James has sex with Jenny, who then has sex with Dan, you see in Silvers' speech that he blames Anna for that which somehow means that she's infected. It's completely illogical, but it happens.

Nikki having sex with Mr Holiday might be a similar case (ie. where Anna is blamed for 'infecting' Mr Holiday) but I haven't tested that.

The crash site is a location near James' house. You just go there as you would any other location.

Hmm... hadn't thought of those... Isn't that stretching it a bit much?
I played through again, ensuring I learned nothing about Anna's past/present from the logical sources: magazine, Kim, website, receipt, with Silvers, Tammy - still failed to keep her unsuspected unless I deliberately busted myself via Ashlee...
Must one abandon sex entirely in the game to achieve the Ashlee/Kelly ending???

No, it's not a stretch. If you read Silvers' speech, if Anna is infected, he blames her for infecting Dan (who in turn has sex with Jenny) and Mr Holiday (who in turn has sex with Nikki). Logically, why would Nikki and Mr Holiday be having sex unless Anna had infected Mr Holiday? From memory Goblinboy said something along the lines that if you don't observe something it never happened, and vice versa. So, by observing that event (Nikki & Mr Holiday) you're bringing into existence a reality where Anna has previously had sex with Mr Holiday.

The only suggestion I can make is that you try limiting yourself to only those scenes that don't have any consequences that Silvers can observe, such as Anna, possibly Kim (although you have to avoid asking her anything about Anna), Helen and Rachel.

I've no idea if that would be effective, and given that the third option after Ashlee and Kelly is the Anna&James 'happy' ending I wouldn't be at all surprised if not having sex with anyone was a requirement for it.

As I've already said, the easiest and most reliable way to get the Ashlee/Kelly/happy ending is to go through the game as fast as possible, not doing anything.

At first, thanks for your great Walkthrough (downloaded from yahoo-group). It's terrific!!!

It was very interesting to read your discussion with thundergod. You wrote, that SD3 is 4th game in your top, what games are in your top-3?

Thanks

To answer your question, my top three is:
Sex Artist by A.Ninny
Meteor by Goblinboy
Tomorrow Never Comes by A.Bomire

I think that Sex Artist is a very under-rated game. It had the misfortune to come out in 2005, which was a very strong year for AIF, and ended up winning zero Erins from ten nominations (A.Ninny did get one for best beta tester though). The main reason I like it is the strength of the writing, not only in terms of the descrïptions but the characters and plot as well.

The reasons I like Meteor are pretty obvious. It just gets edged into second place because I find Meteor's plot to be a bit of an afterthought.

Tomorrow Never Comes is another game from 2005, and picked up six Erins. It's easily forgotten that until Goblinboy roared on to the scene in 2006, A.Bomire was basically the best author of AIF around. He did a fantastic job with re-creating elements of the James Bond movies like car chases, gambling, jumping out ot planes. Tomorrow Never Comes is a bit more puzzle heavy than most AIF, but all the puzzles are well integrated into the game as are the sex scenes. The one weakness it has is that the relationship between the PC and the main female characters falls a bit flat.

YMMV

[thundergod]

Sex Artist is indeed a terrific and underappreciated game.

okay, im sorry...but i have to ask. usualy im doint well with AIF games, but this is giving me a headache ^^

Currently at 2nd with Anna in her room, thats where and when i should be able to have anal sex with her. Well, yes she allows me...but everytime i try i get "You need to specify a position you want to use to fuck her ass." Okay...so ive tried "Missionary, doggy...doggystyle" and what not. but tads doesnt know the positions.

Ive tried "Fuck butt" and she asks me to pay more attention to her pussy before, what ive did, even licked her to orgasm, shes still asking for the same.

any idea what im doing wrong here?

Nevermind...got it ^^

[ableh16]

don't know if anyone answered this but I can't hear Anna moaning on day 3. I've got the key, on the upstairs and waiting her moaning but just can't get it. Try to unlock the door but said the key doesn't match... help please

[ExLibris]

@abhleh16
First off, where are you? You should be in the location that is accessed by going up from the hotel lobby?
Second, are you hearing anything at all? If Anna is in the room with Silvers you should hear the sound of them talking while you're waiting. If not, she's not there. Try talking to Kim, as she tells you that Anna has gone to meet Silvers.
Third, are you sure you've got the right key? From memory James returns the key before leaving the hotel, so if you stole the key on day 2 to search Silvers' room you'll have to steal it again. 'unlock door' should be the correct command.

[ableh16]

@ExLibris
thanks for the replay. I'm upstairs (up from the lobby).
Yes I hear nothing, I kept repeating z' so many times...
And have tried back to Anna's house to ask Kim (she said as you wrote) and also get the key from lobby before 'up'. I keep repeating down and stole key again when I think to much repeating 'z' when on the upstairs.
One thing that I notice: everytime I stole the key, that the same time when anna talk with silvers and go upstairs. Don't they supposed to be in silver's room (room13) when I repeated try stole the key in the lobby?

[ExLibris]

@ableh16
If you're waiting outside Silvers' hotel room, you should be able to hear the sound of Silvers and Anna talking, followed by other sounds, followed by Anna finally leaving the room.
If you're not hearing that, it means they are not in the room. Either Anna has already left by the time you get there (the timer starts the first time you go upstairs and hear them talking), or she hasn't arrived.
