I've returned to 0.797 for the time being, so maybe this question is not up to date, but what determines rival companies going bankrupt?
Suddenly a message pops up saying company .... went bankrupt, but i am playing purposely slow and never took away any of their models, so it feels very random.

hello, I have a quick question: how do we increase the interest in the bank?
I deposit money but nothing happens, I remain at 11% interest

Thank you for your reply

Is there a way to increase the score (%) of specific trends?

Also oftentimes when you change a models clothes they change back to casual after a while.

I think thats the max interest or you need to start a new game, or wait for the next version.

Trends decay when videos are released,more videos = faster decay. Time is the only remedy.

Suggestions:
- It would be interesting to be able to hire male characters in the city playing with male characters, it would be more realistic, without sex.
- To make rivals more active, you can also steal models from them with good proposals.
- Change the boyfriend system, make it more difficult but with some reward.
- Interactions between members of your company, fights, passions, where you could intervene.

should appear sometime till april
i'll look into it


would be a nice random event. i'll figure something out.

i'm working on adding the second chick to the mix. you'll only need to reference the other modded chick by name, something like {"player2:"chick name"} or whatever the command will be. then you'll have both in conversation. probably good idea to add more than 2 for fffm and such.

sisters are hardcoded so there's nothing it can be reused. but i guess it would be nice to have some good system in place.
maybe like custom parameters at the end of lines like {"talk_to_maria_1:true} or {"gave_drugs_to_ana":true} ...
then use these names in other convos to unlock new options. you would have to keep track of all that salad.

after stable drops i'll try it out and see how it works.

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but in my game special characters created with mod tools do not appear at all.

I have both .gd and .perchar files named in the same way. I've put them in \AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\Porn Empire\mods\characters - do not work. I've put them in the same folder with the game itself - do not work. I've put them in both folders - do not work.

I've used the templates people posted here (files attached) - do not spawn. I've used default templates - do not spawn.

But at the same time they load perfectly in "mod tools" when I use "import model" button (except that Bio, Job, Prefs, Spawn location resets)
1613813668305.png

Anyways, this system is way too complicated. It would be great if there is just an "import model" button in the game itself in "dev panel" or "cheats" for us to select our own characters and make it spawn immediately.

You could try having multiple copies of the same character that spawn in different locations. I have had problems getting characters to spawn in certain locations. But the most sureshot locations for me have been- Hotel Lobby, Hospital, Gym and Bar. These places also stay open the longest/ do not close. Just out of interest, how long are you waiting before giving up?

2mbmb:
By the way, since we are talking about sisters. And where do they (and not only them, and others, including maidens in love) disappear from the lists? After all, they do not leave forever, otherwise it would be somehow informed, as if they are going somewhere on vacation, or vacation, then for some reason they return.
good question. i do not know... they're not under unavailable? it's the default category if code cant sort them in others.

Okay... I know you are not supposed to report errors in a dev version but I have a really weird bug that I have not seen anybody post until now. I am posting this in the hope that it is I who is making a stupid mistake and someone can help me see the light.
So here goes:

I have 12 custom characters. They are actually just characters that the game spawned that I liked and I carry over from one save to another with max stats and beneficial traits as a sort of early game leg up. In this playthrough I have been facing issues with those characters in game. They spawn alright, their conversations play out alright, once I get their casting done (using a PA, in case that's relevant) the game crashes if I try to click on them in the 'Girls' tab. Initially, I thought that it might be because I had each of them set up with 6-7 traits so I whittled them down to 4 each and tested again. Same result. I tried it with characters spawned in game and I can access them alright.

I have tried multiple saves now with no success.

Has anybody else faced this issue until now? I have attached one of the characters and the conversation file, just in case.
multiple issues. a lot was changed (relationships, retirement, ...) and old mod girls have old uncompatible values.
i've fixed your chick and it works fine for now. when stable drops, you will need to import her and export her again.
it's still possible some old values are hiding somewhere and will crash the game later.

low market share. if they reach i think it was 20% average they go out.
how long have you been playing? it should take quite a bit time to get there.

6% is max now. cannot go over that.

Suggestions:

- To make rivals more active, you can also steal models from them with good proposals.
- Change the boyfriend system, make it more difficult but with some reward.
- Interactions between members of your company, fights, passions, where you could intervene.
-i deliberately made impossible to recruit males as male mc. to have at least something different if you play as female mc.
-for now you can catch them at parties and persuade them or at the hotel convention. i'm trying not to do right click + steal. too easy.
-for dev version interactions are unlimited. in stable it's 1 per day. you'll build up slowly.
-v0.8 and further

if you only put .pechar file into the mods folder and start a new game, chick should appear as a rival girl. you can cheat your way to see if this is working.
if you add .gd it should appear wherever you've set the location. maybe you have an error in conversation file.

you did remind me to make a list of succesfully loaded mods. that would at least give you a confirmation everythign is alright.

I did import them and then export the first time I played though. It didn't fix the issue. Doesn't matter. I reconstructed them from scratch and they seem fine now. I do have one custom character who is never selected for scenes by the Production PA though. I have had this happen before with one of the scripted characters (i.e. Paula Sanderson, iirc) but I was not too bothered about her. Any reasons why that would happen? I have checked scene likeness and it is higher than the limiting amount.

...
That is, they disappear from the list of available models, treatment, etc. I can’t help but watch them, choose them to please, or make films — they simply do not exist. Moreover, this can continue for quite a long time - even special ladies disappeared from my lists for up to a month.
Moreover, it was a fairly common occurrence in 0.797c, but in the "unstable version" 0.798 it became rare.

Did you create a porn empire folder or use the exsisting directory? You have to use the exsisting directory which you can find by allowing hidden files and folders to be viewed. I ask because it's unusual for them not to spawn at all (they may spawn with errors) if they are in the correct directory.

View attachment 1046134

The date template I created sometimes takes a while for the girl to spawn because it goes across five locations. If you use the perchar and GD together (unedited) she will spawn at library, general store, gym, bar and bar.

When creating a new custom girl you have to play around with the spawn times, you can't leave them as 0. The way I do this is I set the start time and end time 1 hour apart (making sure the location is open during these times)

mod.jpg

Leaving the spawn times at 0 seems to prevent them from spawning. This works in the last stable build. I'm not sure if it works in dev version because I don't use that for mods.

Well, I started new game and recreated my characters in v798_dev2_1 using hospital as a spawn point. And it worked. But now my game crashes when I click this option at casting.

I highly suggest everyone stick with 0.798Dev2 for now. The Dev3 version has an unavoidable CTD linked to the first encounter with the police after the first month. That means that you cannot play the game for longer than one month - period.

What traits and prefs are you giving your custom girl? Adding too many traits "confuses" the game. The max, which I've found to work without issue, is four. Using "photomodel" trait also causes issues if you try adjusting prefs (i.e if you try to create a photomodel with a high pref for solo, boy-girl etc, then the game crashes). If you use "equality" as a trait, then leave prefs alone because the game automatically adjusts them when casting and fiddling with them causes a crash. Trying to "game the game" by setting all prefs to 100 also seems to cause the game to crash.
TLDR: Don't add more than 4 traits (avoid photomodel trait). Leave prefs alone if using equality. Don't try to max out every pref.

Outside of this I don't know what else you can try. I tested both mod templates in the most recent stable build and both worked fine. I even clone the gd to use for multiple custom girls (rename each time) and it works. I've two friends who also play the game and share mods and the only issue we've experienced (after going through troubleshooting on this forum) is that sometimes the custom girl spawns as a random encounter and trying to recruit her twice causes a crash (we haven't found a fix for this yet).

anyone know what new with dev2? is their new mechanics like did they do anything with the drugs? like if you keep using to the girl and she too high and would do more scene that she dislike while in shooting scene and eventually would do a scene for free if drugs are involve

I use none of the traits because of the text message there. And I also don't set everything to 100.

Test the custom girl with the default template conversation in mod tools. If it doesn't work with that then the problem is with the custom girl you are creating. Both templates I created (the ones you're using) are based off of it and it's known to work (check forum). Problems with the GD file tend to cause the game to crash as soon as you click on the girl. The problems you seem to be having (spawing, auditioning etc) mostly relate to the perchar (custom girl file).

Other than you I'm only aware of two others (myself excluded) who have tested/used my templates and you seem to be the only one having problems with them. I'm not sure what other tips I can give you other than testing your custom girl with the default template conversation or creating a new custom girl. If neither resolve your issues then I'm at a loss.
