I am playing version 0.98.2EN with RAGS Player 3.0.59
In my normal game I got to a point where I screwed up and gave Noelle money before seeing her garden scene and now I am in a loop with no progress.
In newgame+ I wasn't able to purchase a smartphone, and now I am stuck because I have no phone to receive texts.
Also, I have never been able to go to the school and have never received any messages on my FB or AFF accounts.
Does anyone know of a sure-fire method of starting a relatively bug free game? I know the game is not finished so bugs are expected, I just want to see all the available content.
The school is new, so is Facebook which might account for some bugs. In fact I havent gone so far to play those parts because when I got up to them the Facebook part was so far behind and lagging behind that I spent about 8 hours (real time) trying to get it up enough before I gave up. This could probably be resolved using a trick of having "." as your decimal then immediately after Noelle flashes you in the kitchen saving and changing "." to "," This is something to do with an error in the mathematical routines of how Rags handles decimals or something to do with the creators native language settings (I know Rags has problems with ' for example when naming rooms.) Having a full stop/period seems to be kinda a cheat, while leaving it as a comma acts like a nerf. ie full stop will net you 1000 where a comma will get you 100. This is only effective at the moment of action, so using the above method you can fast track the starting resources like money and followers, they wont revert when you change back.
Doing this I was bringing in 100k cash per week from writing up the books that appear in your library when done, but I had not known about facebook in game until later, So followers are going up a paltry 10 per day even writing 10k page books. (the fast writing being a bug too that wasnt there before)
AFF is only used for Cherry currently as far as I know, Im sure once his done with the main storyline then other things could be added in to make these appear more robust while not having any real effect on the gameplay (like Noelles internet pics).
As for the phone, someone did mention it earlier not sure if there was a solution to getting it, think it was something like exporting a game where you did not buy the phone. Again I havent done this either, Ive been distracted by my own projects. Not to mention other peoples work that seem to have been quite a number of new games come up this past 6 months.
