Alright, now that managers and banks are working allow me to present...
FROGGY'S REVISED STRATEGY GUIDE FOR 79C
1) START SMALL BUT ALWAYS THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE! As always, your first few months will just be laying the foundations for what is to follow. That means cheap, smelly hookers and bottom-barrel models that are cheap. Quality won't matter as much as quantity, because you're going to want maximum output of 3 movies per day when not out doing other shit. How do you do that? 8am, do an amateur porn shoot at home. Rest two hours, stamina back up to 75%. Do a second shoot, rest two hours. Stamina now at 50%. Do a third shoot, stamina is gone, it's now midnight so rest until 8am (which just happens to be eight hours) and get all your stamina back. Also you want to open a company ASAP - that means usually right after your first movie goes up on the PornTubes and you get paid on day 2. The first building you want to invest in is, of course, your own bedroom since this is where all the action is going to be taking place (for now).
2) DON'T GROW TOO FAST! Taxes get levied at the end of the month, not when you release the movies, and if you're not saving at least 20% of your gross profits then that bill will
flatten you when the calendar moves up a notch. Right now you need to only focus on two things: Buying a car (a great time saver in the long run) and recruiting
Jenny from the gym. Why is she so important? Without her perk your Fitness stat will slowly rot away to nothing and recruiting her gives you a perk that prevents that. Until she is recruited there is really no point to working out because it will just evaporate over time. For now you can put her on Analytics until she gets to level 10, at which point you will want to switch her over to Talent Scout.
3)
YOUR TALENT SCOUT IS YOUR MOST VALUABLE PA! Especially since it is actually working now! At level 10, a Talent Scout can be set to find give with a 10 potential and Likes in both Solo & Boy-Girl (assuming male MC; if female search for Girl-Girl) with a 70%+ success rate per month. That may not seem like much but it is magic and those
are the criteria that you're going to want to look for. You can throw in age or race into the mix if that's you're thing, too, with slightly lower odds but that is up to you.
4)
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CAMWHORES, BABY! The rules have changed for the better and you no longer require a dozen webmasters just to run a website. In fact, you can open a website with just
one webmaster now! The catch is that now it is more realistic - the site will run all the way up to level 10 but with a piss-poor quality level until you actually hire enough webmasters to unlock the potential of all that expensive hardware you just bought. For now, however, let's start small: One webmaster (go ahead and train them up since it actually matters, now) and only upgrade your network enough to open up CamShows. This is where the magic happens, folks!
5)
ANYONE CAN BE A CAMWHORE IF YOU GAME THE SYSTEM HARD ENOUGH! Now you
can directly recruit camgirls, either by luck or by having your PA search for them. But we're not telling Jenny to look for camgirls in particular. Why? Because any girl who
starts with camgirl will have literally
zero Likeness for everything else. Meaning that camgirl is
all she will ever do and that's boring! However... any girl with a Solo Likeness of 80+ can be trained as a camgirl for $5000. Of course, where does one find a girl who spawns in with a usable Boy-Girl/Girl-Girl score
and a Solo of 80+? Oh, that's right, that is exactly what you told Jenny to search for, isn't it? Thanks, Jenny! Every model that she pulls in should be trainable as a camgirl
and eligible to do regular porn scenes on the side as well. Awesome!
6)
ANYONE CAN BE AN EPIC PORNSTAR IF YOU GAME THE SYSTEM HARD ENOUGH! We're going to kick back and bask in camgirl cash for a while now. You'll want to set your take at 15% to keep them happy. Why not more? Because a happy camgirl recovers Happiness fast (well, duh) and thus is able to shoot regular (amateur) porn scenes more often! That's right, in addition to bringing in daily bread she is also more prolific at porn than your regular porn models, too! At least if you're generous with the camshow money. Once your income is nice and stable it is now time to finally recruit your third and forth employees. What are you looking for, exactly? Any personal assistant will do; random encounter or from the hiring hall, just pick whoever you think is cute. Train the two of them up to level eight and turn them both into
managers. Next you'll want to put them into the last two slots on the right. One of them gives a perk that raises all employee happiness by 10 points a day. This is actually pretty damn powerful, as you can imagine. The second increases a girl's Likeness for any scene every time she does one. This means that even if your camgirl only has a Boy-Girl/Girl-Girl of 10, just keep screwing her long enough and someday, my friend, someday it will reach 100 and - combined with that daily happiness boost - will be down to pound nearly every damn day of the week. Who needs the Nympho trait anymore, amirite? For those willing to shell out the money for an actual porn studio (let's not get ahead of ourselves here, pal) you can even do this with Solo until she hits 100% with that, too.
And it is by that power than you can take any girl with a Boy-Girl/Girl-Girl of 10% and a Solo of 10% and someday turn them into a camgirl.
7)
BANG YOUR WAY TO BILLIONS! Your next target is
Ann from the bank. Her route is simple: The more money you throw into your account the more sex scene you unlock with her. So what? I'll tell you what - every new scene that you get ups the interest that you make on your savings. At max level you'll be getting back 10% per year. Which doesn't sound like much but believe me, it really is. At that level, every million dollars you put away will earn you just over $8300 per month - for free. That can easily cover the cost of two top tier staff members without having to actually do
any porn. Get two $2m and you'll never have to worry about how you're going to pay for Jenny and your two managers again. Eventually you'll want to get a third manager to unlock the perk that gives +30% payout to camshows. Wait, what, why not do this first? Because until that 30% bonus is enough to pay the $5000+ a month cost of said manager, it's not actually worth it. In other words, you'll probably need a dozen camgirls on your staff before hiring a third manager to get that perk is actually cost effective. As your bank account swells and your yearly interest grows the only thing you really need to worry about from here forward is hiring extra webmasters to make your website run better (and increase camgirl income). On a long enough timeline, you're bank account will eventually offset all your business expenses and then some - at that point, you're really only doing this for fun and laughs because you no longer
need to make money.
8)
SKIP EVERYTHING ELSE (FOR NOW)! One day the photostudio and strip club will also work as passive income, and when that day comes I'll update a new guide that includes them. For now, however, they still aren't fully functional which is why I skipped them. Therefore you may noticed that I never mentioned buying a photo studio - because you won't. I also only mentioned a full sized porn studio once because your need for it, well, you don't really
need it all, really. It's nice to have, if you can afford an extra $50K a month in staff salaries, but honestly, you don't ever
have to build one. There is also two more optional staff that you may want to consider, the first being an Editor (saves time & energy, if not money) and, of course, at least one security guard. Marketing agents are useful as an endgame add-on once your cashflow is high enough, especially now that you no longer need literally twenty of them to max out your reputation. Websites? Well, I mean, if you really want to... but again, that's up to you. You can still get by without any websites at all if you're lazy enough. Pool? Yacht? Private Beach? Strip Joint? Again, not needed. Buy them once you've run out of things to spend money on because it is your Talent Search PA (aka Jenny) who is going to be bringing all the real talent in for you. Recruiting the Nurse will be useful once you've got enough models that STD risk starts climbing and plastic surgery becomes routine to max out the Attractiveness of girls (tip: each pass through plastic surgery raises that stat by +20 even if you change nothing about her). All the other named NPCs are... kind of irrelevant, really. Their perks are nice but not game changing, but they do come in handy when you want to expand your PA roster to include permanent Analytics and maybe a Lawyer if you forget to wear rubbers. You'll
never need a PA assigned to Production or Distribution if you're using this guide. All told, even when your vast empire is complete you'll probably still have less than 20 staff members, total, doing everything. All that matters from there is seeing how many camgirls you can have working at once before your computer runs out of RAM.
