-staff disappearing, are they signed by a rival perhaps?
I get this too but it's only temporary and I know the cause. If I meet a girl, fuck her, secret cam and then hire her as a staff member then she will not show up in the staff list for about a week. This only happens if recruited as staff - I can secret cam and recruit as a model with no weird effects (other than her finding out and getting angry, of course).
A few of things that I humbly request:
1) More side slide bars in the UI. My mouse wheel is kaput (it's an interface issue - I've replaced it twice to no avail) and so I can't scroll down with it. I
have to manually drag a slider to scroll down on things and a lot of times the slider just isn't there.
2) The job desires of potential staff in the hiring agency should align with their class and not be random like with random NPCs. I'll explain: I go to the job agency and select "security" and see a list of people applying for that job, but when I go to examine them their
desired job is always something else entirely. Their want to be directors or helpers or cameramen and never actually, y'know, security guards.
I mean, yeah I understand economic reality enough to know that very few people end up working in the fields they want to, but still... I've seen people applying for categories that they
hate doing. Like I'll look under "helpers" and it will say "helper, hate -3 happiness per day."
3) Birth control pills for anyone
other than a female MC. A male MC can wear condoms to protect against STD & pregnancy and a female MC can take birth control, but female models can't take birth control. Which is really weird since they
can take fertility pills. I'm just saying that it would be nice if a male MC could go bareback on a clean model and
not have to worry too much about knocking her up. If you want you could have a relationship, contract or influence requirement to convince a girl to go on or off them (and yes, some girls should just be on it from the start because it's what
they want).
4) I like how you can assign your HR person to boost employee happiness per day, but what about models? I'm thinking that having a more luxurious mansion should give some kind of bonus to that as well. Like how you can invite someone to live at your mansion and lock their relationship score, but expanded like so:
4a) Live at mansion (current feature) - Change it to doesn't lock relationship score in place but that it simply can't go down. It can still be moved up later through schmoozing. Also incurs an upkeep equal to 10% of their salary if staff or $50 per month per fame level if model (so max $500 at fame 10). Also gives happiness bonus listed below.
4b) Access to mansion (new feature) - No affect on relationship score but increases happiness (for both models and staff) over time (daily or weekly) based on how cool it is. +1 for 3/4, +2 for 4/4, +1 for a pool, +1 for a beach and +1 for a yacht (so max +5 for everything). Upkeep is only 5% of salary if staff and $25 per month per fame for models (half the cost of them living there, basically). Costs superseded by above if they move in (so not additive), happiness bonus remains.
5) Cost of makeover is free if you own the beauty parlor, which is nice, but sending models for makeovers still costs the same. I think this should be cheaper if you own the place.
6) Does a skilled producer target their projects based on trending market demographics? If not, they should - or at least have it as an option.
7) "Company Party" - Like a regular party but only staff and models attend. Relationship bonus with everyone in attendance. Can include male staff, because why not? A good way to boost relationship with male staff when MC is both male and hetero.
8) For the filthy rich, buy the hospital (or at gain least partial ownership) and get big discounts on rehab, plastic surgery, VD treatment, etc.
9) I know a lot of work went into the bank manager lady, but I think interest rates should be based on the skill of your finance manager. I know it's not a sex-themed as boning your way to the top, but it would be a lot more realistic and it would unshackle that figure from having fixed milestones.
10) Let the MC perform one PA role themselves at a daily cost of a few hours (so every weekday at 8am the game fast forwards to noon). Spend time = save money. For when you
really need a specific PA talent
right now and can't afford to hire anyone else to do it yet.
