The screenshot is out of date; expand the spoiler tag on the front page to see the new dialogue.
My next big goal is figuring out how to use GMCM so that you don't have to edit the content.json file directly to opt out of certain changes. No timeline for that right now, though.
Not a fan of a few changes like removing the checkup event but at least that's changeable, though it would be nice to have a toggle in mod settings. That being said, could you make him not dance with Maru at the flower dance, is that possible? I feel like it does lean into that don't date your boss stuff
There are general instructions for tweaking the mod to your liking in the newest version, but I hope version one still made your playthrough a little less creepy!
Great, thanks so much! Never really knew what others seem to see in Harvey, specifically because of these issues. Let's see what he's about when I'm not fully creeped out haha. One question though, does this also alter his Luau line about rubbing sunscreen on Maru's shoulders? The fact that his love interest (other than the farmer) seems to be his employee is also deeply creepy to me. Obviously altering all of that is wayyy to much work, but that particular line is the worst part of it for me.
First of all, thank you very much for this mod. I love Harvey, he's my favorite character and I always put my farmer to marry him in every save, but the idea of him being his husband and at the same time his doctor is something that makes me very uncomfortable, so I'm very grateful for have a mod like this. Also, i hate that "Stop by my place if you ever need a confidential check-up" dialog line. I find this type of dialogue very off character and uncomfortable, and the fact that this dialogue appears even when you're not dating Harvey just makes everything worse. It's weird and doesn't sound like something Harvey would say.
But I have two questions about this mod, could you help me? First, I want to know if the dialogue I mentioned here (the check-up one) is changed, I really wanted this dialogue to be changed to something more cute and without this weird context. If it hasn't been changed yet, this is my recommendation for the mod. It would be even better!
Second, is there any option to download the mod but keep the 4 hearts scene? because i particularly don't see anything suggestive in this scene. In my headcanon it's just the farmer starting to have a crush on Harvey but not knowing how to deal with it XD In that case, I just need to delete the "Hospital-no4heart.json" file, right?
If this is still relevant to you, the mod has been updated! It now removes the "confidential check-up" line as well as changing a couple of others.
I also changed the way the 4-heart cutscene replacement works. If you download the new version, just remove the appropriate lines (there's a comment showing you where inside the file!) in the content.json file and the cutscene will play as normal.
I have a suggestion, when you reach 8 hearts with him, he gets all flustered and says weird stuff like "Stop by my place if you ever need a confidential check-up" or another example is "If I didn't live alone, I think it would be easier." These are weird dialogues he says to you at 8 hearts, even when you're not dating him so maybe take those out as well, I'm not sure if you have or not because I didn't download the mod, this is just a suggestion though.
Eek - I didn't even know about those! I will try to add those both into the mod. Thank you so much for the suggestion!
The 'confidential check-up' line is definitely pretty weird (although at least you should only see it if you're dating him - looking at the game's code, it's actually a 10-heart line), and I think I know how to change that. Would you help me with what you find weird about the other line you mentioned?
The full line is: "It's a lot of work, being a doctor. I don't eat as well as I should. If I didn't live alone I think it would be easier." (Thursday, 8 hearts)
It doesn't read as creepy or weird to me personally - does it come across as him hinting at moving in with the farmer to you? Or is there something else about it?
Thank you for this mod. I loved Harvey but the fact that he is STILL your doctor really, really bothers me. That's not ethical at all. It's weird enough he was your dr at all before marriage
