You definitely have a very conservative playstyle but I'm happy to recommend it over mine lol. I play it very fast, buying the first serum batch upgrade policy immediately and hiring 5/5 employees who all work in R&D until the first serum is researched. For their stats I hire 2 for Supply and 2 for Production and Steph stays in R&D. I savescum a bit to get non-shit employees, though I don't worry about perfection; as long as they're close to or over 30 productivity in their job, are moderately attractive by my standards, and have more loves/likes than dislikes/hates they're fine. It gets a little sweaty one or two days skirting bankruptcy, but I'm making a profit selling Basic Meds by the end of the first week and can buy that kiss from Mom.
After that it's pretty easy to maintain a profit as long as I max efficiency every morning. I can quickly buy the first employee increase policy to get another supply and production employee each. Steph slowly works on getting a few other traits so I can make a useful serum (I usually go with suggestion + energy though the new traits are tempting) and I start saving for serum batch 2, employee count 2 (usually 1 supply, 1 R&D, and Alexia - I fill in doing production when there's extra supplies) and begin unlocking the research tiers. After that money's frankly a non-issue, so I'm glad to see new policies to waste it on.
On that topic, my first impression is that the sluttiness policies look like a trap in the early game. The first policy is worthless. Simply flirting with each girl once a day is better. The second policy is barely better, but at least it can passively raise sluttiness over 20 so it's not a complete waste of money. It won't be until you have all three unlocked that you'll get a reliable increase, but at the cost of so much company efficiency (especially if you combine it with the discipline policies) that you'll need one or two girls just for HR. But then again, by then you can probably afford wasting those slots on HR jobs.

I am of the opinion that games with uncompromisingly high learning curves are just bad games, especially in the realm of adult games. So yeah, I think this game is very poorly designed. It was okay-ish at the beginning, but it has consistently grown unnecessarily complex over the years.

For many of us, there is no "unnecessarily" complex. Granular management games are my jam, and I enjoy the hell out of this one.
The game is pretty easy.
I created a quick start guide its just a few above your last post and they added it to the front page below the download links.
Anyway the guide will walk you through everything you need to do to get the business up and running and solvent.
Keep getting same error each timelapse:

TypeError: 'Role' object is not callableYeah, I can't figure out its purpose either but I suspect it'll get some changes after Vren gets some feedback from his patrons. It doesn't even slow down the game, really. Aside from that first batch, which only slows my roll by one turn before I can get the research going, I haven't found myself lacking the clarity to research anything after that just through my normal play.

I believe it's there to force you to not just sit in your lab and research all day. A way to encourage you to interact with the game. However it will probably incentivize sitting in your room masturbating all day instead.
Nope.
You get a lot more clarity converted if you cum in different ways. You can see the guide for how much of a difference.

The real problem with clarity is that you will end up with crap loads of it and nothing to spend it on.
The game has that issue in general when you play it. You can end up in short order with crap loads of money and nothing to spend it on.
I wrote the guide to show how easy it is to become solvent in the game and after than there isn't a challenge.
Honestly, the game isn't challenging in the least bit. Clarity did nothing to change that.
The hardest aspect of the game is finding decent people to hire but you can still do that without using a mod by simply saving at the $50 screen and reloading till you find one.
In real life you wouldn't hire that way anyways so kind of sucks in that respect. In RL you put out an advert for someone with minimum skill sets and you go through the best candidates that show up.
This game format would lend better to a collection reward system with an expansion model to spend money on. Maybe, you start new labs in new area, having something to spend money on like new houses, furniture, clothing, cars....
It probably would be more fun and a challenge if they used a component system for the serums that you had to figure out what traits the components had and then what combinations produced what traits and then how to enhance and extend them.
That said everyone on here who whines about complexity would be upset. The fact they complain about this game being complex to start with as it is just shows they tend to be the kind of people who want shit handed to them.

Do the instructions in the mod and bugfix thread work for you?

Sometimes when talking to a girl, she will announce that she has a dikdok or insta account. Not had anyone mention an onlyfanfic one yet. For dikdok and insta its based on hidden personality traits as to how likely they are to create one.
In my game I got Ashley's and Gabrielle's Onlyfanfic.
I used to get Lily's Insta but for some reason in this version I dont get hers. Did that change?

In the code it is a random integer check. If you want it to happen more frequently, change the numerical check values.
