Thought it was time for some general feedback about version 76b
1. If I put an asian model into stylist to give her blonde hair, and then later into plastic surgery to adjust her breasts, suddenly she's a white girl in the tags.
Maybe you changed the EYES as well? The Asian trait afaik is linked to the eye type. Just test out some Asian looking eyes (and maybe save beforehand).
2. If you place an Alt girl into contract, she immediately loses the Alt tag and has no hair color tag at all.
The bug is more likely that the ALT trait is not assigned correctly. Therefore when you scout for new talents, you'll notice that even green hairs do not show an ALT tag. You have to redo the hair if you want that tag assigned corectly. I am sure
@mbmb has ironed out this bug in his dev version already.
3. Can't work out the traits system at all, but some of it seems to be broken as there doesn't seem to be consistency to many effects. [Depressed] is just broken - she's always at 5 happiness. Use the cheat to make her 100 happy and in the morning she'll be at 5 again. For some girls the [Equality] trait doesn't seem to do very much, but on another it limits her potential (capped at 70 even if cheating, while the other girl with the same tag can be at 100 without problem), and most of her other stats.
Depressed is the worst trait and strictly to avoid. You do not want it anywhere near you. Do not even consider hiring that trait. It is not broken, it "just works"...
At the absolute least, there needs to be some kind of info page or tooltip in the game that explains what each trait is supposed to do, so we can know whether it is working as intended or not, and thus whether to avoid or look for girls with that trait. I know you have the info on your blog, but for people not using a multi-monitor setup that's not too helpful while they play.
You can check the traits on the model tabs (you need to have a person with that trait) by hovering the mouse over a trait. A tooltip window will tell you then, what this trait affects.
Roughly there are only a few traits that do an instant-no-questions-asked-355-day-contract for me and that is
- Nympho (no happiness loss while doing a scene) it is THE trait... contract it asap, except when paired with a negative trait.
- Trendsetter (characteristics do not get oversaturatred) you can produce more with the same models without dropping to 0% bonus
- any combination triple of
happy (+ 10 happiness for partner),
perverse (+50 chem, +0.01 revenue, drugs +10% and +2 sex),
social butterfly (chance of a girl joining) and
attractive (+ 25? beauty).
4. The nurse special character (the one that gives faster recovery and rehab times) is no longer spawning, ever. I didn't see a mention of this in the patch notes (though it is possible I overlooked something), is this as intended?
This was already discussed on this thread: She is on night shift. Visit the hospital after dark.
5. If you have a PA set to the marketing job, and set to put a $100 marketing budget on all published scenes, there is no indication on the publishing screen whether it should apply to manual publishing. Surely it should set the marketing bar to a default, even for manual publishing, equal to that default amount?
When you have a PA for marketing, you can do a manual scene upload to override the default set in the PA tab - if you manage to beat the PA on publishing
