in case it hasnt been mentioned yet, i got a ctd when talking to a rivals girl hanging around in my mansions bar (the new map, and i offered her the mansion in my former persuasion attempt; afaik i didnt buy her out of her contract yet via my financial pa)
to me the new stable outfits look strange, i pretty much liked the former ones
i guess the police relation is wop; one of the options to give the rivals a hard time is greyed out- i got the two police officers, but as actresses; maybe i should have recruited them as security... that greyed out option i guess is what i was waiting for: to get the rival out of the game when i finally bought all of their stars out ?
thanks for sharing another update ! as mentioned, it is still hard w/o cheating, at least you shall have a straight plan when opening a company- i dont, i still fuck up soon after that
as for balancing, why not have the moviemaking (female mc) and secret (male) for both of them as a standard option - at least to me as a naive it would make sense since everyone has a smartphone and is capable of making selfies
