Mega was amazingly good back in the day, where it provided unlimited speed and no quota limit. But now everything changed.

I have no idea why everybody would upload on mega, maybe most of the F95 users paid for subscription fees or someone receiving a sponsorship by uploading on mega.

For me sites like WORKUPLOAD , Media file, Zippy shares, Nopy and Google Drives provided more efficiency AND no quota limit.

Appreciate everyone for making the packs, and I got a couple of suggestions and comments:

1) The recruitment price and starting stats is all over the place. Most are default, which is slightly too low ($300) and some are way too high, imo.

I suppose I can edit each JSON_data manually, but it should be easy to make a script that normalized the price in dollars and points based on the hiring stats, backstory, or whatever. If you came to a consensus and posted guidelines, maybe I could help.

If a player adds packs midway through the game, the 'openness' stat really does a number on progression. (For example, it becomes very tedious to track which workers can perform unless you exclusively limit booths to only dancing.) Perhaps 0 or 10 is low considering most have no 'lessons'. Maybe I just need up max out my upgrades, but the measly one point per lounge session is killing me.

It isn't a big deal because I can edit the JSON. I'm just more used to turn-based management where I'm not frantically trying to slot as timers run down. For now, I'm cheating with memory hacks.

2) Regarding the size of the packs, some of those complaining do have a point. The vanilla packs seem well balanced, but I'm hardly watching the video clips because I'm trying to game the timers. Perhaps put emphasis on length and quality of later performances (i.e. sex as opposed to poses) since it's going to get repetitive in any case.

My issue isn't necessarily the large size, it's the inconsistency. The default packs are between 100-200mb, whereas some packs here are over 500mb. Again, I'm probably under-appreciating them because I'm not really watching the clips.

Maybe adding a bunch of packs midway isn't the way to go. Should I be starting new saves or waiting to the endgame instead? I'd think that would make the stats even more unbalanced. When are you all adding packs?

Anyway, those are my fairly worthless thoughts. I just wanted to thank everyone for the work but got carried away. Obviously, keep making these however you please.

You may wantto have a look at Sailer's Editing program here.
You can even have it automatically calculate the prices for the girls depending on the stats.

I by no means intend to ignore any criticism, but I will say this here and now. The main thing to remember is that most if not all pack creators are making them for themselves first and foremost, and have decided to share their work with community. Keep in mind it can take anywhere from an hour to maybe 10 hours of time to create a pack, and some criticism feels like nothing more than being attacked (the post above by dookie85 was handled politely and with dignity). That being said I am working on low file size packs (some of which are already available by others, not as a replacement, but as another option) as I understand the need for such (data caps, older machine...). I am willing to take requests but PLEASE USE THE REQUEST FORUM FOR SUCH, AS THIS ONE IS STARTING TO BECOME CLUTTERED. Just mark the request with a notation of small file size. Thanks for reading, and please be considerate to one another.

Mega is still best in my opinion(fast,etc),I am using it,I paid it ofc,because of the 2gb/day limit

For some reason the game does not show her portrait.
Maybe because it's not the correct size?

papasmurf What to keep in mind for portrait image: the "portrait.jpg" (or png) should be in a 2:3 format with a width of at least 600 pixels and a height of at least 900 pixels. The "portrait_small.jpg" (or png) should be in 1:1 format (a square) with a width and height of at least 120 pixels.

Oh! And before I forget! There's no need to have 20 min vids in the pack. Dunno why you do that. But the clips only have to be 15-20 sec long. You're leaving full vids in your packs for some reason. I mean... Yeah, that's a way to get ultra huge packs (in file size) for sure! I personally don't mind. I always check and do some rework to new packs I download anyway. But I'm on a 1Gbit/s connection. Most are not that fortunate. :p

I have a girlpack that i'm almost completed with but I was wondering if someone could quickly explain file suppression to me.
Why should I do it?
will it affect the quality of the videos?
How much does this affect the file size?

Ok first of all it's a matter of utility. My point of view, if you want to watch 1080/4K vids you go somewhere else, you don't do it in a game. Also the windows in the game, even if zoomed/maximized, won't cover the whole size of the screen and that means having them in ultra HD it's worthless.

Artifact compression is commonly used in web contents and that works for videos too. Reducing bitrate and capping the video size to 702p won't make the videos non-enjoyable, at least that's my personal opinion.

I only did 1 pack till now (almost completed my second one) and all 69 videos are long 30 secs (except some which are 45 secs). Most of them weight 6-7mb each making the pack overall smaller than 500mb. Check it and if the quality satisfies your expectation you may consider to do the same with yours.

Personally I'm ok downloading packs around 1gb too but that's a bit useless after all.

What is REALLY important to keep a decent quality is starting from a good source. Download 1080/720p videos and work from them. Avoid lower quality videos and discard heavily compressed ones.

That's just my personal opinion, of course. After all you should do what makes you more happy with your packs.
At least that's what I do too, I want to make packs for my personal satisfaction, then share them here.

I think you mean video "compression". You already answered the first question: you should do it to reduce the file size. Moreover, it keeps the video formats consistent; I'm not sure how much it affects processor/GPU/RAM resource usage.

If you use the correct settings and video codecs, then the quality loss is minimal, so there's hardly any downside besides some time on your part.

How much it reduces the size depends on what format your videos are currently using. For example, I compressed a 5 min clip from a relative's iPad (Apple uses terrible uncompressed raw codecs) from 765MB down to less than 90MB with little quality loss; but you're probably NOT going to see that drastic difference since you've probably downloaded the porn off the internet where they aren't encoded with a raw video codec (in other words, they're likely already compressed a bit.)

I think most here use WEBM VP8 codec, or at least the default packs do. The easiest way to find out is run a few tests with various settings and see how you like it. Like Vicissitudo said, it's kind of pointless to have ultra high quality short clips in-game with a small window size. It's not as if we're watching full length movies on a huge TV where resolution matters more.
