I'm actually wondering about that. No new expansions announced, no news of a new game from illusion... I guess covid slowed things down quite a lot.
I know to do basic things in studio but if you're more interested in the game for fapping and not doing screenshots what would be really better in studio than the base game (considering all the plugins with have now, not talking about just the base game)?
If what you like is fapping, the studio is still better. Just imagine an scene, any scene. What's your fetiche? Guro? Aliens? Superheroes? Giants? Shotas? Bestiality? Maybe you imagine a scene in a party with many smaller kinky situations that link each other.
You can do that. Anything. You can make the animations work or get a perfect scene, more complex and creative, but frozen.
Personally, I like to create stories told through scenes. I don't plan, they just happen as I use the program. I am watching the resources, and then I see something that gives me a new idea.
The studio is freedom and creativity ADDED, it doesn't replace anything. If something, it can take a bit more time to prepare the scene, but if you want a scene just like in the original game (the most simplistic ones, put a room and put a girl and a guy) there's very little difference.
But it can be so much more...

By the way, if someone reads this, I am looking for a good guide about the studio. Every day I discover something new that makes it easier to use or more powerful but I feel I can't grasp a few things. If someone wants to help me, you can send me a pm or something. Thank you.
