I haven't had issues with the popularity penalty yet. When I need to get a new scene and I don't have any models currently available, I head out and recruit a new one. And my MC doesn't seem to be affected by the popularity penalty, although maybe that's something that's for all male characters.
your paying as a female, we are playing as a male. you will have to tell us, lol.
think of it this way, when you watch porn, do you see the guy or just a dick going into the girl? i think most men wouldnt realize if the guy was the same across many videos now a daysWait, that penalty is only for women? Holy cow, I didn't realize I was playing on uber difficulty challenge mode
Thanks for clearing it up for me. I question the design choice, but I appreciate your help in making me understand how things work.

Oh I can absolutely see it from a realism standpoint. As a gameplay element it's pretty crippling though. It's an odd choice to allow the player to create a woman as main character and then penalize them this heavily for doing so. Especially since the game gives no indication that it's intended as a challenge mode.
But it's their choice, I'm okay with that. I'll just have to figure out ways to play around it.

I havent played the female charcter in a few years now but from what i remember:Wait, that penalty is only for women? Holy cow, I didn't realize I was playing on uber difficulty challenge mode

1) studio as soon as you can so you can make other scenes then yourself
2) BG scenes are not as profitable as your paying both models, but fortunately he has made males cheaper then they use to be
3) focus on contracts, even cheap contracts might cover the cost of the scene. Then the scene might say a negative number, but youve actaully made money on it.
4) but yes, spam out 2-3 videos a week of yourself i think would be best. The more famous you become the faster the penalty drops. Your not paying for solo videos, so the penalty isnt to bad. If you see a contract worth a lot you can complete though, you might want to let the penalty drop before doing so.
focusing on your skills would be big as well. this will help your rating go up quick, which would help you where its almost irrelevant for males MC. after a scene, go to school and attend 2 classes, sleep. or go to gym and do 2 workouts then sleep. thats your Intellect and Fitness taken care of. your sex skill will go up as you make scenes, so your going to have to grind out charisma like the rest of us. But your stats and your fame will mean more money from your solo sessions.
you might want a Marketing person early, to boost your fame levels as well.
sounds not that much more challenging then just playing female to be honest. Male MCs already pay for GG scenes, youd just be doing the same. Your big challenge will be that your MC wont be able to be in as many scenes as a Male MC, so your going to have to pay more actors. Once your on contract though, your fine. You also have the benefit of being able to create your own personal website that will bring in tons of money after a year, where Males cant.
You might want to hold off on creating 'solo' or 'GG' websites till you see what the rivals left for you. their sanctions on top of you popularity penalty might be deadly early on
Interesting to read about the different playstyles. I currently am trying to see how far I can push it with early (4th March) Studios and spamming contracts. Let me just tell you: I like the new contracts.
A studio isnt required for contracts.
I really like the new photoshoot system. Always bothered me that id make $150k + on Sunday at 8:00, by transferring over staff and equipment from a studio, use the same 5 girls to shoot seven different scenes then put the staff and equipment back . meanwhile no time has passed.
hello. there is another special character which appears in delia`s story. does anyone know what her story is? thank you.
Is there a way to make our own gameplay mods? I wanted to explore adding two options:
-A percentage chance of a condom failing during a scene (I know there is a similar mechanic for this but I'd like something with a little less player agency on controlling it).
-A chance that birth control might fail.

Does anybody know how Scene Quality is determined? I've seen the term a few times in work orders, but neither in Production nor in the Scene Details of a finished scene does it show up.
Also, does anybody know how model lvl is determined? I'd like to be able to guesstimate a character's model level before inviting them to a casting, so I don't waste as much time when I look for new models of a specific level.

For the model level, you can scroll to the right on the model list and it will have more information about them, including model level.
True, but I'd like to know how I can estimate the model level before they even show up on that list, when I'm seeing them for the first time in the world.
If you click on the 'Boys' tab, there are male models working for a friendly company. You can either use them, or put them on contract.
