why am i doing this to myself?. im too soft for this. its made me cry four times!. im 26 i havent cried in years!.
The hell??
(no, i don't want to know)

any advice on making money?
Yes! The best way is my way (outside of straight up cheating):
Savescum at the Casino in City Industrial. With every character first day I make enough money to give them electrolysis (so I don't need to shave them every few days), buy enough cosmetics, deodorants, shampoo, vitamins, weight loss pills to last me months + umbrella, comb, sewing kit, fabric and nuff left for clothes.
How to? Casino > casino wars> sit at the table (or whatever)> place bet (1000 and copy it) and ok> NOW SAVE >doubles >if you didn't win 11k, load save. If you won 11k >place bet(paste 1000) ok>SAVE
repeat until you got enough for whatever you want to do

If you are going to savescum cheat, why not just use the money cheat in the cheat menu?

Katja is a frustrating character. I've been trying to get her to come to school without panties as the quest log says to, but after 2 months I can only get her without her bra.

I must be doing something wrong! What's the best way to lower her inhibitions?

Tour guide is a bug if it is paying that much, no part time job should pay anywhere close to that. That is what the low end full time jobs pay. So we will have to fix that.

I'd agree it's high, but it's also restrictive in that you have to start work in the morning and it's a six hour job. Another issue is there's no negatives for the job just random events with one of them also giving you a small cash bonus I think. So it's the safest job aside from busking in Pav and City in game at present for Sveta to work in without one of the owners trying to turn her into a sex slave or some other abuse.

It was recently as in this last release revamped so I honestly don't know maybe Kevin or Anya will know, BGK is who did it but I don't think he hardly ever posts here.

It is mostly it just pays way to much per hour, it is paying more or about the same as the full time jobs in the city pay which is suppose to pay more than Pav as Pav is cheaper to live in than the city.

I still think there should be a minimum of 18 years age limit at the casino, as per Russian law. It would require at least an ersatz passport to bypass this.

Pretty sure it does, so that might be another bug in the code.

She has a few variables you have to work. Its all a bit complex you have to talk to her at school while not wearing panties and you should show off the fact. This leads to option to get her to go commando.
The clothes in shops look so good now. I remember not too long ago they weren't only different backgrounds, but their pics had different sizes too, making whole thing look ugly. Now shops and clothes have good aesthetics.

That being said there are some issues here and there. Finally getting to my goth sveta, Dolls have 3-4 dresses that display the colored school uniform texts to them before september (i dunno, June or July), but they don't work. First day of school and couldn't get in with one of them (had to go back and take that one provided with the char). Afterwards gone to Dolls and saw there wasn't any colored texts on those same dresses anymore.

Not quite related, why is heels max of 75? I was thinking you could add some of those heelless pony boots to erotomaniac and make it 100.
EDIT: And speaking of this, are you going to add NPC and public reactions to Sveta wearing fetish clothes?

Also even less related, but probably the most important part of this post, I'm glad bras/panties can now be thrown out (thanks Kevin). One of the best things this release. Still there needs to be a way to get rid of purses and shoes too.
The clothing look is all Gwen's work. She has recently left the team after doing all that work but we'll continue to match her aesthetic going forward.

The school outfits wear all changed recently and the ones from other stores got removed as an option. We are rebuilding the whole school uniform file to match the limits that the school would realistically place on it. It will be a bit less fun but when we polled the community on Discord the majority opinion was clear.

Will look for some insane heels when time permits!
We are adding reactions this dev cycle and plan to have a number of different ones once we finish arguing debating the finer details.

You are welcome and I plan to do purses and shoes this dev cycle. Hope I'll also have time to add filter for the shoes. ;)
omfg its all so depressing. every event is depressing. every character is depressing & im learning things about myself im not sure i like.

why am i doing this to myself?. im too soft for this. its made me cry four times!. im 26 i havent cried in years!.

but my soul crushing misery aside, any advice on making money?. im going to go the busking route cause i read thats profitable enough but im struggling to get enough together to afford the guitar. theres always something else i need and the money just.. slowly evaporates. sorta like real life.. :confused:
Nutluck is right this is a compliment to our fabulous writers and their dark dead hearts. I resurrected them myself.
Let that emotion out its good therapy but if it gets too much step away and take the time to process and calm yourself, last thing we'd want is to do you any harm.

Money is tough, modelling is a good option as it doesn't count as a full job and you can do it around other things like school. If you can get teh webcam and have decent int you can find the cam site and that's super flexable for your time. There's a few other lower paid but easy access jobs like cleaning the station and hairdressers. The leaflet delivery is shit pay but if you are stuf for a few Rubles its almost harder to avoid it than do it in the park.

Thanks for replying :)

I've been showing her I'm not wearing panties, regularly. Are you saying I need to do more than that elsewhere?

Also, on the quest log it says that she has something to tell me, and I've tried talking to her in all her 'moods' and not getting any questions apart from the usual sex questions. Again, am I missing something?

Its not something I worked on but from what I see after you've shown your lack of them the next part is asking her to do the same. Maybe that needs to be talked about somewhere else such as her home

It is supposed to be 8 hours a day, not 6. I wrote that 2 years ago, it was my first contribution to GL. When I bumped it from 800 to 1000, that was based on the idea that it was 8 hours a day, the same timesink as school is. All the games part-time jobs are 100P/hour, once I change it back to 8 hour shifts, it will be 125P/hour like it was supposed to be.

The random event that gives the tip has a 1/8 chance of firing, and gives 300P. That's a new event just added last cycle, and I will be reducing it to like 150.

Well I found my mistake. When the quest log says to use the strapon on Katja, I did. However, I didn't do it right. Unlike the sex with random hookups/girlfriends which has a basic sex system, Katja needs to actually orgasm/finish from vaginal and anal strapon sex. So you have to pick one type, say vaginal, and keep selecting it until she orgasms.

Once you do that with both, then she is cleared to the next stage and you can progress with the panties storyline. Very contrary sex systems, and unintuitive.

Anyway, thanks for the help.

Needs a fake passport for that. 30k rubles.
I'd say to sell trinkets and save up for the passport. This way can lvl up the tailoring skill too for unlocking tapestries.
Modelling also earns me now something like 4k rubles per week (not doing anything indecent). Coupled with tapestries (half tapestry per day on schoolday) means a total of about 8 or 10k per week.
I'll get a Ferrari in about 40 years or so :) (nah, just gonna savescum me a renault to get rid of random train events, if won't have enough saved up until sveta reaches 18, which I'll probably have)

Also a suggestion regarding modelling:
Regardless of the clique Sveta is in, being in probably top 5 (or 10??) models should greatly increase the reputation with certain cliques based on what kind of model she is. For example catalog and fashion should give clique rep with cool kids, nude and erotic should give rep with gopniks and fitness with jocks.

Busking used to be really lucrative in St. Petersburg. You could earn several thousand rubles for an hour's performance but the powers that be decided to throttle that back.

Livestreaming music (1 hr) is another way to earn money, especially is your renown in that field is high. Although I think it's a bit low if you have any sort of (international) audience growth. $50-$100 per session would not be unreasonable. But you need to invest in a computer + guitar.

Livestream:
Your fans tipped you 1289 rubels for your performance.

You have 1289 rubels on your account.

Typo: *rubles

Although I think that purchasing a high end smartphone would probably work as well. It is 2016 after all. That's why I think the online modelling gigs should be able to be booked on Sveta's mobile instead of requiring a computer all the time. She wouldn't have to return home or go to the library to book a job. The online model bookings earn from ₽1000 - ₽2500 per job for about 3 hours work (+ travel time).

Only tried busking once this version in Petrograd. Got like 100+ rubles (but with performance being low, 25 I think). To be fair I don't think busking should been able to compete with modelling or porn at $ per week either.

(I wish the game had a violin too, not only guitar.)
