What would be the job that gets the more money at the start of the school life for you?
Used to be giving bjs at the nightclub. Could get up to 30k in a weekend depending on luck. Dunno if that's still possible now since it seems to be the same as the community centre which is a lot less money.
Ig you start in the holidays then you can do the Starlets, but it's a lot of training needed to qualify and it ends around October so it's limited time, can make good money though.
Modelling is good long term, but it's not a huge amount of money to start and you need a fake ID. Once you have high skill and rep it is a good chunk of cash for little time per week. Works well with doing Running and Kick Boxing in the city for extra cash per week and sports rep which lets you do Fitness shoots for more cash.

For the test release I had a start that made starlets reasonable (jock dancer), I did Starlets to fund modelling and sports. Starlets just ended and I'm at ~250k in the bank plus laptop/guitar/camera/recording gear/implant. Seems fine.

edit: starlets is probably ~5k per week, modelling is like 2k per week to start going up to 6k+ with skills and more with special jobs, running/kickboxing is like 1k per week to start and goes up to like 3k per week by the time school has started. Beating a mugger is ~1-2k and takes almost zero time, so it's very strong.

Ideally, the robbers should be overhauled into a sub-system of itself.
Different types of robbers:
- speedy gonzales that grabs and runs
- ruff rider that uses a moped or a dirt bike to snatch and flee
- muscle brain that uses high strength and tough defence to ignore the puny girly attempts to fight back
- switchblade acrobat that uses a knife to intimidate or get stabby with it if the scare tactics fail
- the rare event shiny gun guy that only comes out at night in dark, secluded places, doesn't take no for an answer and making them angry might worsen the situation
- the ultra-rare midget clowns trio that harrass, distract and pilfer money, underwear and heart, not necessarily in that order

Or just randomize the same current dude with different stat on each encounter. Whatever.

Different ways of handling the situation:
- fight
- fight, but with magic
- forget about the money (and optionally flee for safety)
- yell for those public jendarmes or what they're called that only have tonfas/rubber clubs as weapons to come rescue
- the current failed attempt at a robbery chance with a few more variations in the robber's clumsiness depending on their type
- the rare knee groin contact sports
- be dumb enough to not even realize the robbery happens
- have a gun

The type of robber and what might happen could depend on stats, location, time of day, weather, rng and amount of money previously used during a set/varied period of time.

Still, this sounds like a lot of work and i doubt anyone will have the time or desire for it anytime soon, so just the "whatever" part would be fine to be changed for now. I think.

We have the issue of players wanting to max their stats and not enough game for them to be spending years on them. WE'll slow them down as we get each additional year of content in.
That said muggers might be a bit easy, but if you have stun spell then you must have magic and that would make them much easier. The magic enabled Sveta should be OP when confronted by random normal guys.
I know and you know my opinion. Which is slow it down now so it is easy to balance events, instead of slowing it down slowly over time then having to go back and rebalance events. Then people that want to max their stats can just use the cheat.

I know why we won't but that is still my opinion on the topic.

I have no clue how the magic combat works.

I think one of the problems is that Reaction is so much more important than the other stats for combat, can end up with one person getting 3 attacks for every 1 which feels really bad to be on the receiving end of. So just buffing stats might be tricky, but maybe tweaking their defence skill would be a good fix though, just so that going for jabs becomes more attractive over kicks. I do think Reaction should be toned down, but that seems more of a system redesign than a quick change.
That might need to get looked at if that stat is to powerful. It sounds to powerful, to me reaction should only let you hit first not hit several times without them able to hit back.

Hi, just to ask/report is its a bug but the guy that offers you to become a porn star isnt appearing anymore too.
I believe HG changed that and its now done via talking to one of the models that also does porn.

I think one of the problems is that Reaction is so much more important than the other stats for combat, can end up with one person getting 3 attacks for every 1 which feels really bad to be on the receiving end of. So just buffing stats might be tricky, but maybe tweaking their defence skill would be a good fix though, just so that going for jabs becomes more attractive over kicks. I do think Reaction should be toned down, but that seems more of a system redesign than a quick change.
I'll look at it, we re-made the whole fight system but maybe a bit of fine tuning in regard to reactions wouldn't go a miss.
I've made an adjustment that should make reactions less OP, unless I messed it up in which case who knows what I did?

Does going into pornography stop you from entering uni? If you get famous atleast?

Just found a major bug in the cheat menu for 0.8.6.1.
So, in the relationship section, you now get a family dog option. Nice and all, I like dogs, but... it's broken.
Whenever I try to alter just about anything with the pooch, I get an Error message saying 'Code: 111 Desc: Location not found!'
Also, the dog doesn't appear anywhere I can see it in the game, which makes me wonder whether Schrödinger replicated his experiment with a dog xD
Can someone maybe clear this up?

Hi guys, I’m kind of stuck within the Nicholas Storyline (living there as a maid). How can I trigger the event at Nicholas’study? Is there any further content after having been implanted with the sex monitoring device and given to the bodyguard? Thanks!

If I remember correctly, the pet content has been removed form the main game, and will be continued in the wohrelife mod.

I am aware that the pet content was removed ages ago, but that still won't explain that:

So either there are plans to reintroduce this stuff, or someone snuck that in or there are bugs.
