 When you have successfully installed and tested the game you probably want to install official DLC/patches/addons as well as English translations and uncensor.

The current release comes with partial English user interface translations, partial uncensor (with issues) and some story translation.

 #Click Next to start patching your game. Beware that patching your game will change installed files and it cannot be reversed or uninstalled. Therefore you should keep the original files, so you can restore the game to it's original state later on if needed. Having the original files might be a necessity if you plan to install additional or different mods later on.
 #Let the patch finish. Patching may take several minutes and the progress bar may not move. Just be patient. It is guaranteed to work if you installed the game as outlined above.
 #Play the updated, partially translated and uncensored game by double-clicking the desktop icon. :)
 '''Note:''' It is normally safe to run the patch again if you want to install additional components or change options. Just deselect the components you previously installed and patching will be relatively quick.

+DLC for [[Real Play]] usually comes in the form of self-extracting archives and most of it is already included in the [[#The HF Patch|HF Patch]]. Here's how to install them as intended by Illusion:
-# Execute the .exe with japanese location (i.e. Applocale). It will extract the self-extracting archive to a subfolder, probably with japanese chars.
-# Rename this subfolder so it only contains english characters.
+Warning: Installing DLC after you have run the HF Patch might cause issues, like untranslated/censored stuff or worse. Run the HF Patch again after installing the DLC if needed.
 # In the folder, you'll find a '''FileCopy.exe'''. Run it ''without'' AppLocale. You'll get a dialog with to options. Select the default option (left) - simply hit enter. A progress bar will fill and when at 100% only the right option (Exit) is available.
 # Select the exit option. The DLC is now installed.

		+	*'''Q: I installed the HF patch and when I start up the game it says no config file in data. Before the HF patch the game worked fine. I reinstalled it and applied the patch again and same thing happens. How do I fix this?'''<br />A: This is because the English launcher detects that you have Japanese characters in the path to the game. In other words: You installed the game to the default location because you didn't bother reading this FAQ or any of the links/warnings you got when installing the HF Patch. Install the game as described in [[#Quick step-by-step guide\|quick step-by-step guide]] below.

	*'''Q: Game worked, but now it stopped working (crashing)? I didn't make any changes to it.'''<br />A: This is known to happen (rare) and can be caused by other applications running. Try closing any open applications (browser etc.) and try again. If that doesn't help, try restarting Windows and then try running the game again.		*'''Q: Game worked, but now it stopped working (crashing)?

-*'''Q: What is Esthetic Play?'''<br />A: Estetic Play is an addon to the game that comes with it's own launcher. It uses a different launcher and the gameplay is basically the same, though the scenes are consensual and not about abuse. It was included in the torrent that you downloaded and it's a 445MB file called <tt>estheticplay.exe</tt>.
