You have the "suspicious"(or something like that, is the last bar) too high or too low, doesn't specify but I guess is the frist one.
Yeah, that was it, thanks. I had to re-load to an earlier save but I got it. Now, though, there's not even a lightbulb over the uncle's head. The last event I did with him was some sort of date, so I'm guessing maybe I hit the end of his event chain or something? Though it seems weird he doesn't have a repeatable event like the others do once you get to the end of them.
Also, how do you start the modeling job? I have all the clothes yet the 'requirements box' that usually pops up for events doesn't even show up when I try to enter the building. Maybe I advanced too far in the game before starting it?
