How to get DLC Achievements without buying DLC
By TheBeowolf»EC«
Hi,
a small guide how to play the story missions and get the achievements without buying the DLCs

For the basics i'm referencing to this guide from MINIVEE
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3006864543

Now the HowTo:
in the "Store.spell" file you can find near the top e.g.
Story_17_ADHD
This is the name of the Story 17. if you have finished the game and check the list in the .spell file you will see that the DLCs are not listed.

To get their names you need to open
spellogs.log <-- in the same folder where the save folder is located

Here you can find atm with two DLCs released:
[Hero:Story_1_Friend] DAY 130: Checking Progression: special order False
[Hero:Story_1_Friend] DAY 130: Story was played. <---------------------------------- Normal
[Hero:Story_2_Teacher] DAY 130: Checking Progression: special order False
[Hero:Story_13_StickerShop] DAY 130: Checking Progression: special order False
[Hero:Story_17_ADHD] DAY 130: Checking Progression: special order False
[Hero:Story_PWM_01_TravelBlogger] DAY 130: Checking Progression: special order False
[Hero:Story_PWM_01_TravelBlogger] DAY 130: Story not unlocked. <--------------------------------------------- First DLC Story
[Hero:Story_PWM_02_Writer] DAY 130: Checking Progression: special order False
[Hero:Story_PWM_02_Writer] DAY 130: Story not unlocked.
[Hero:Story_PWM_03_Recovery] DAY 130: Checking Progression: special order False
[Hero:Story_PWM_03_Recovery] DAY 130: Story not unlocked.
[Hero:Story_PWM_04_ExamsMom] DAY 130: Checking Progression: special order False
[Hero:Story_PWM_04_ExamsMom] DAY 130: Story not unlocked.
[Hero:Story_PWM_05_ExamsEmily] DAY 130: Checking Progression: special order False
[Hero:Story_PWM_05_ExamsEmily] DAY 130: Story not unlocked.
[Hero:Story_PWM_06_PenpalTim] DAY 130: Checking Progression: special order False
[Hero:Story_PWM_06_PenpalTim] DAY 130: Story not unlocked.
[Hero:Story_PWM_07_PenpalSanjay] DAY 130: Checking Progression: special order False
[Hero:Story_PWM_07_PenpalSanjay] DAY 130: Story not unlocked.
[Hero:Story_PWM_08_Artist] DAY 130: Checking Progression: special order False
[Hero:Story_PWM_08_Artist] DAY 130: Story not unlocked.
[Hero:Story_PWM_09_MemoryTraining] DAY 130: Checking Progression: special order False
[Hero:Story_PWM_09_MemoryTraining] DAY 130: Story not unlocked.
[Hero:Story_PWM_10_Doc] DAY 130: Checking Progression: special order False
[Hero:Story_PWM_10_Doc] DAY 130: Story not unlocked.

Everything with "PWM" is a DLC Story.
Now you take the name, copy one of the old storys in .spell file and change the name. e.g.:

{"Name":"Test Tester1","heroID":"Story_PWM_02_Writer","storyProgress":6,"order":{"Day":162,"Hour":32,"HasMessage":false,"MessageID":"","Orders":[],"Status":"NoOrder","sent":false,"TwitchBudget":0,"moneyInfo":44,"fameBonus":0},"tags":["game","space","pink","red","sweet","worm","pride"],"lovedSticker":15,"newMessage":false,"progressOnDay":167,"LastStickerCheckID":17}

Check the "progressOnDay" near the end and change it to your next day.
You can see the day you are playing either in the sleeping screen or you open yourstore.spellinfo in the save folder.
And change the "storyProgress" to 0, so you can start the story from the beginning

After doing all these changes, starting the game and sleeping one night you should get the new story mission.
Probably you need to change the "progressOnDay" after each mail. Happened for me that the first three messages came on itself, but the rest didn't had to beeing forced to appear.

I hope the guide is at least a bit helpful and we will see how fast the devs will close this gap :-D

just make a copy of your .spell file to which you can return to
i tried very much and restored my old .spell file multiple times XD

it's already some month ago, so i don't know exactly. can only say that you need to experiment a bit^^

maybe i'm not good enough for these things AHAHAHA I mean, maybe I understood but I don't wanna ruin the code and do something wrong, can I send you an image?

You can just copy the old story in your .spell file and adjust the heroID (The PWM thing) and the storyProgress. And you can copy it anywhere at the "Storyblock". So you can put it first, inbetween or after the old story missions. doesn't matter.
you can search for "storyProgress" and should find the correct spot very fast. Just check the difference between your .speel file and the pasted part (starting {"Name":"Test Tester1","heroID" ... ) above. Than you should see where to change something :-)
