Finding opportunities.

Someone know where and when i could find "Road to Redemption" and "Signs of Affection" opportunities?

Invite Vickie by letting Katherine spoof a message from 555-4242 (Rachael) to 555-6969 (Vickie Vixen). Talk to her and she will give you the "Redemption" or "Signs of Affection" quest, depending on your relationship with Ashley. I don't know how far you are storywise so I will give you all the steps you need to do :

Ask Rachael first if she is enjoying herself at this party, offer your help and go speak to Frank, a new dialogue option should show up ("Stealing from girls, come on Frank. You are better than that"). Ask if you could sniff the thermos, which he will refuse at first.

Frank requires you to find the 6 Natty Lights before he lets you sniff the thermos : Natty Light #1 is behind the single sofa in the room Frank is in, Natty Light #2 is in the garage on the rack, Natty Light #3 is behind the speaker in the tv room where Stephanie is dancing, Natty Light #4 is on a shelf in Madison's room which you encounter when you walk through the door, Natty Light #5 is in the upstairs seperate (not the master bedroom) bathroom behind the linnen basket, Natty Light #6 is under the desk where Britney is sitting.

When you earn Frank's thrust you ask him if you could sniff the thermos in the liquor cabinet and lie to him saying that it only contains water (contrary to what Frank is saying, there are no repercussions for lying to him). He then grants you permission to take the thermos. Give it to Rachael and ask why she is nervous. Now you can also get her phone number which you need for the Dare Interference/Vickie Vixen quest.

You need to get Patrick's phone for the next part. First go to the Master Bathroom (the one which Madison refers to and where her phone is), get the painkillers behind the door of the Master Bathroom (close the door first). Give the painkillers to Patrick and ask if you could barrow his phone as a favour. He says he doesn't remember where his phone is and that he most likely gave it to one of the partygoers. Go talk to Britney and asks if she has Patrick's phone, she has but won't give it to you without Patrick's permission so you need to return to Patrick. Patrick will then go to Britney but even he doesn't get his phone back until he's completely sober.

Tell Patrick to be careful with Frank and ask him how he manages to hide his bottle of Merlot from Frank. Go to Frank and rat Patrick out by telling Frank that Patrick hides a bottle of wine in his pants. Frank will beat Patrick up, wait until Frank is out of sight (or grab the bottle with the Ctrl key and go to another room and pick it up) and steal Patrick's bottle of Merlot (which you can give to Stephanie after completing her whip-it quest).

Go to the kitchen and open the pantry and grab the kettle with the Ctrl key and place it on the stove. Get the cold coffee on the table next to where Frank is sitting. Go to the kettle on the stove, click on it and select "use with..." and select "cup of coffee". Turn the stove on and wait for a minute and the kettle will whistle, turn the stove off and again click on the kettle, select "use with..." and select "empty cup". Give the ''hot coffee" to Patrick, which he will refuse at first but then you need to say that it is Irish coffee and give it to him again. Wait for a few minutes and Patrick will come to you and says that he is completely sober.

Tell him that now that he's sober he can get the phone back from Britney. Follow him to Britney and now she will give Patrick his phone back which he will give to you.

For the next part you need to have Vickie's phone number. In version 0.9.3 there are two ways to get it :

1) when you still have Madison's phone which you will find in the Master Bathroom, open your inventory -> Madison's Phone -> Contacts (right area of scrollwheel). You might need to unlock it first (speak to Ashley, say you see the resemblance between her and Madison, give her the phone, choose the "Maybe, what is it to you" option, get the pencil in Ashley's room and paper in the room right from Ashley's room where Britney always sits, go to Madison's room and use the paper with the magazine on the makeup table in the far right corner of the room, open the safe in the closet in the close left corner of the room (BE CAREFUL THAT YOU ARE NOT SEEN BY MADISON OR DEREK) get Madison's diary and give this to Ashley and she will give you the code for unlocking Madison's phone).

2) Ask Madison if she has Vickie's phone number, which she will give if you untie Ashley's top. Beware that you now have a poor relationship with Ashley if you go through with this. This will result in Vickie giving the "Redemption" quest instead of the "Signs of Affection" quest.

Go to Katherine and ask if she knows how to hack a phone and if she's willing to spoof a message for you. Give her Patricks phone and follow her to the room Britney's in. Ask her again if she could spoof a message for you and she will ask you two phone numbers (which you have if you have followed everything I wrote previously). Now you are at a crossroad :

- you can give her Rachel's phone number first and Vickie's phone number second, which will start the quest "Dare Interference" quest but locks you out from inviting Vickie to the party (unless you use the console command : "warpto vickie player", you can't get her showing up to the party).

- you can give her Vickie's phone number first and Rachel's phone number second and now you can invite Vickie to the party.

If you're still stuck after everything I explained to you, I recommend you watching CaptainSauce's House Party videos. He does explain it very well and has a great sense of humor (his videos are made using the older version of House Party but the quest hasn't changed since his video).

Thanks. So... that means I haven't done "Signs of Affection" only and first one quest had name changed since last update. I'm just trying to do every quest and I've missed only that one. But when I can activate "Signs of affection"?

[Norberto9797]

Thanks for tip . I've found it .

You get the "Signs of Affection" quest from Vickie if your relationship with Ashley is good and the "Redemption" quest from her if your relationship with Ashley is tense (not necessarily bad, even if your friendship and/or love meter is high but you have done one of Madison's pranks, you'll receive this quest). In other words you can't do both quests in the same playthrough.
