NEW Bring Her Back
Intended to do the same thing as the version built into the base game, but with a completely new system (written almost entirely by AI).
Does it work? I have no idea.
Does it break the game? Hasn't for me so far, but I've only tested a little bit.
Is it more fair that the existing system? Hopefully! This version adds more grace periods and ties your sex reputation more into how anxious male coworkers are to get your female version back in the office.
Give it a try and let me know if it works or not.
Original Description Below:
[DISCONTINUED]
This mod has been incorporated into the base game as of the 0.19A Playtester build, and won't been needed any more.
Previously:
Coworkers get used to having your female version in the office, and when she goes missing for an extended period, they may decide to take action to bring her back.

Should work with X-Change Life version 0.19
Disclaimer: As with all of my mods, I want to make it clear that I know very little about coding for Harlowe or Twine, so this is just another poorly made mod which may not function as intended and will probably break your code. Use with discretion (or, if you’re a modder, feel free to poke around in the code and make a better version).
Bring Her Back
The idea behind the concept is simple: When you’ve spent time at work as a woman, there’s a chance your coworkers will get upset when you switch back, leading to increased work pill spike changes.
There are a few factors that play into this: The number of days you show up to work as a woman builds “pressure,” and the chances of increased spiking is determined by the amount of pressure and the number of days it’s been since they last saw your female alter-ego.
Working at DynaPill as a man will eventually become the norm again, and it’s entirely possible to switch back and forth without triggering BHB at all. Coworkers should make remarks when things are in motion, and will stop once the pressure has died down.
Compatibility
There is a conflict with BR Pill Mod in the "location event" passage due to a base game bug that BR fixes. The mods will work fine together, provided Bring Her Back is loaded after BR Pills. This has been specified in the metadata, and should hopefully be handled by the mod loader, but, just in case, I've changed the name of the file to make it show up beneath BR's mod alphabetically.
Update: As of version 007, the compatibility info has been removed from the meta data. It seems that version 1.1.3 of the mod loader was accidentally making BR's mod a requirement. It is not needed for this mod to work (both BR Pills and BHB address a bug in the base game that was preventing workplace pill spikes),
