Mind control isnt that strong necessarily.. yes you can very well convince them to go along with your urges.. but i wouldnt call it zombie mode. You do have to progress things if you dont hack it and jack up stats or w/e.

This is more of a game logic issue... different ways to solve...

Suggested fix is removing + 10 to age if stat improvement policy active so you don't give the RNG impossible parameters in Business.rpy:850
Python:
# candidate_dict["age_floor"] = candidate_dict.get("age_floor", 18) + 10
candidate_dict["age_floor"] = candidate_dict.get("age_floor", 18)
Or backup your existing Business.rpy and copy the one from attached zip to dir
game\major_game_classes\business_related
gonna give this a try thanks for the share with us all not gonna bother backing up anything not much point considering every update says new game required so...BUT thanks brother :)

how to get past the city rep penalty? i've been reduced to 10% production capacity, any ideas?
There are some things you can do to help as part of your organisational policies but the best way is to keep making new serums. Eventually you can corrupt her and she will start to help you.

Is there a compressed version on the way? My tablet won't run the newest version. Runs the 46 modded version fine though.

How is the plot of the game and the full characters? I've tried this game at random versions in the past and every time I found it kind of generic and overly sandboxy. I like the concept of the game, but after a while, all you were doing was making potions and having repeat actions with generic girls. The first Lab Rats had a much richer story and even though all those characters have returned, it feels like they're just as generic as the random ones. Has any of this improved?

When you recruit new people with new policies activated

Code:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 262, in script call
    $ picked_option.call_action()
  File "game/general_actions/location_actions/business_actions.rpy", line 167, in script
    python: #Build our list of candidates with our proper recruitment requirements
  File "game/general_actions/location_actions/business_actions.rpy", line 171, in <module>
    candidates.append(make_person(mc.business.generate_candidate_requirements()))
  File "game/helper_functions/random_generation_functions.rpy", line 11, in make_person
    return_character = create_random_person(**requirement_dict)
  File "game/helper_functions/random_generation_functions.rpy", line 48, in create_random_person
    age = renpy.random.randint(age_floor,age_ceiling)

Don't fill up the city attention bar. Either sell normal medicine that doesn't generate it, or get the policies that reduce it, or only sell small amounts of the racy stuff with several days between sales.
