Strangerville Help?
Hi everyone! There are some spoilers here but I'm trying to be vague.
I feel a bit crazy, because all the comments I keep seeing about Strangerville imply the playthrough was super easy and took a few hours. I've been playing for weeks and can't seem to finish, I find it hard.
So basically I have been playing cheat free, so in saving up money to *buy* required items and all the pausing to take care of needs and the time required for work etc it's taking me some time - don't know if that's the case for others or not. Beyond that getting all the required ingredients has been brutally slow. When I finally accomplished that and all the vaccines were administered they turned down my offer to help (I got 1/3). No big deal they 'thanks for hanging out but I have to leave' and I planned to keep building relationship and ask again. However a sim day or two later after all needs addressed... I can't ask them to fight the mother, they aren't recently vaccinated. I want to scream at the idea of gathering ingredients again and making more and then trying again, especially with load times visiting the lab etc. I feel like an idiot that I'm not accomplishing what is so easy for everyone else, so I decided to look for help after scouring online and not finding others with my same issue (if I missed a similar post, apologies for the duplication).
My questions are:
1) Has anyone else had trouble completing the story?
2) Does anyone know how *long* you have until the request help to fight option disappears?
3) Does anyone know how to gather spores faster?
4) Does anyone know a way to enter a cheat to get people to have the option to 'request help' if not recently vaccinated? (I'm so annoyed I'm abandoning my no cheats idea ha)
Any other tips/tricks would be appreciated. Again, aware of how stupid I must sound, but figured worth a shot!
Thanks in advance!
