Hi! The save trick worked, and I was able to get the blue book back with the most recent version of the game. Unfortunately, it looks like I've encountered another bug. After my PC hooked up with Sawyer at the BDSM party, the hook up action remains locked. I think he should like the PC enough (I was able to get his promposal, and I double checked with the guide to make sure I'd already done everything that increased how much he liked the PC) but when I try talking to him and look at actions I only get Locked, Make-Out, Locked. If I click the first locked it will open up a conversation about changing the safeword, if I choose the second locked it just ends the conversation. I don't know if this is a bug as well, but figured I'd mention: If I select the branding iron in the inventory, I get a message that the PC doesn't know anyone well enough to give it to them and then the item disappears from my inventory completely.

Hi! I was playing the new version, and was still finding the same bug with Sawyer's actions not unlocking. I decided to try a few different actions to see if I might be able to find out what specifically was causing it, and I think I found it! At the party, if I choose to have Sawyer and MC hook up upstairs then Sawyer's actions all unlock properly. If I choose for them to hook up right at the party, then the options didn't unlock.
