cannot make a vacation mandatory, even less when specific actions need to be taken for the night scene to trigger. On the topic of sudden changes, yes, the game moves fast, and not everyone can be pleased. Theres a good chunk of users that want a slower and more meaningful transference from one point to another, while others want to get to the full spice. The way that it is now is a good middle ground.
Again, ideas are not bad, but not everything can be done, not everyone can be pleased. And yes, theres some inconsistencies/"plot incoherent moments" that are noted and will be fixed in the future.
