Honestly I was hoping to see someone complain about a total outbreak. For the most part it doesn't spread very fast, but once it hits a critical mass and it hits the right people I guess it can happen. So glad to get confirmation that it's happening. So what you can do is do what you quoted me to remove the disease from you: in the save file, find your character line (it;s the one that begins with Main Char. The next to last field is the STD value, set it to 0. Don't touch the separators. Try not using Notepad to edit it, Notepad+ is better for this. And make a copy of the file before you change it just in case. Then use the in-game setting to set the two STD entries (the last 2 in the characters section) to 0. That won't remove it from anyone who has it, but it will prevent anyone else from catching it.
Thanks for your reply TotalFluke.
Glad to see that the uncontrolled spread of a new global epidemic brings you joy
I tried to locate the place you mentioned in your response, and I’m indeed editing with Notepad+.
I can find the part related to my character (I had already spotted it in my previous searches) as 'mainchar'. If I understand correctly, the second-to-last number before a new character is named refers to the STD.
If I found the right spot, I’m changing a value that was set to 2.85 to 0.
By doing this, my character seems to ignore the fact that they have the disease. However, when I test it with a character who was aware of my disease, the message still appears that they won’t go any further because they know about my disease :-(
Here is the copy-paste of the line I changed:
Before: "9073/clinic_visit/yes/9068/medical_check_up/yes/9236//4/2.85/5"
After: "9073/clinic_visit/yes/9068/medical_check_up/yes/9236//4/0/5"
After this little piece of copied text, we move on to the next line with another character.
I should clarify that this time I did find the two fields in the 'options' section where I need to change the values to zero! Which I have done correctly
Edit: I ended up starting a new game after all
