Yeah they have, but the more they played it and the more the devs (and experienced players) explained to them, the better they got. It's actually doable, if you know what you do. However I agree it needs a tutorial! And maybe also more balancing, but it's definitely doable.

Yeah I don't know if they considered that, but you're right that's a really good idea. I can write it in the forum as a suggestion if you want to.
EDIT: I have to add that you can train them tho.
Say, if you're relaying suggestions, could you also suggest a "No autotraining past potential" policy? That would make autotraining a lot more useful, I think.
When you're making a single there's three major things to take into account: your group's stats, the demographics of the center's fans, and how many copies you decide to make.
If you don't have a ton of fans already aim low and use the single to score some and skew the demographics in the direction you'd like them to go. What sorts of fans your idols (and the group as a whole) have depends on both their aesthetics and these song choices you're making, so try to find a combination of genre, lyrics, and dance moves that mesh together.
And a good way to build buzz, which will have positive effects on p. much everything you do, is to launch some media shows. The internet ones aren't too expensive to the point where you can actually turn a profit on them and they'll build buzz and add fans.
So basically polish their skills, launch some media projects to hype them up, make songs that appeal to their fans, and start small with the first few singles - 100 units or less if you're obscure.
also a good general tip is to fill your free floor with the expensive production rooms - the recording and dance studios. That'll save you on rent. You'll also want to avoid several money pits early on: don't bother with marketing for singles, stay away from TV, and don't set up a concert until you've got a single fairly high on the charts and you're not treading water every week anymore.
Another one of those helpful things it doesn't tell you about is that you can take out loans, too. Fujimoto will give you a loan interest-free but he'll have a request for you; save before you take the loan and reload if his request is too expensive or doesn't fit your demo. A bank will loan you more but you'll have to pay interest. These can save you during those early months when you're straddling on the brink of bankruptcy.

Give me a couple of minutes (or maybe an hour, if my internet goes in the right way) and I'll share the version with the hotfixes.

What are the hotfixes for? If you find a changelog, it'd be good if you put that too.

Hotfix 1 (added December 31, 2020):
- Closing the game during some events could remove story mode tasks in your auto save file
- Some story events didn’t trigger after loading the game from a save file
- You now need to press F7 five times to unlock cheats and debug menus
- Fixed various issues with dating (wrong girl showing up to the date / never getting caught or getting caught too easily / broken music in one of the endings)
- One of the endings could break if you clicked too quickly
- Various small substory fixes: broken text formatting in a few lines, idol sprites overlapping each other
Hotfix 2 (added January 2, 2021):
- Ramen cafe dialogue could ignore one of your previous decisions
- ldol could request to center a specific single and then complain that she was chosen for it
- Releasing a single with no marketing could cause a bunch of bugs
- Awards show not starting after a character's speech
- Idol showing up with a wrong or empty sprite in the postgame
- Various small dialogue fixes
Hotfix 3 (added January 5, 2021):
- One of the tasks in Chapter 4 (“watch all events”) could get stuck in an incomplete state
- Committee popup in Chapter 5 could break after loading the game from a save file
- Some story-important idols could be fired at inappropriate times, and some couldn't be fired even in postgame
- Couldn't force idols to stop bullying even if you had enough influence
- Idols being unreasonably rude after being asked to not graduate
- You could still get a bankruptcy game over on the relaxed difficulty

Dunno. For me main problem now is the fact that after couple of singles and getting 1 fame star girls start asking for 50k per week jiust to keep satisfaction on 50%. thats when i make 150k per month from single release. and demands keep increasing. i do performances to the point that one of my idols got 90 days voice trauma. still running out.

I see that someone shared the 32 and the other build as well? So if they can, it would be appreciated. Right now I can only upload this one. Apologies.

Do you have your office manager spamming business proposals? Some photo shoots can help at that point. So long as you can get Hype high enough, an early concert can also more than pay for itself - though you're likely going to have to get a loan to start it up. Be sure to check your expected revenue before applying for the loan, though, to make sure that it actually will pay for itself - and be sure to manually set the ticket prices to ensure both a good attendance rate, and to avoid leaving money on the table.
And like Fujimoto tells you - running in the red at the start isn't necessarily a problem so long as you're building your fan base. If your fame grows faster than your debts, you won't have to worry about your credit limit for a while. Spending your time running promotions instead of performances might leave you pretty uncomfortable at the start, but it'll probably leave you in a better position a year from now. Not that I did it that way, since I'm a big worrywort, but I think it would have worked better.

so its just still nsfw images for the scenes huh? I love simulator, especially this one has a great concept that reminds me of the old Playboy mansion game from ps2, but this is a pity.
