Agree, it seems to be very usefull feature right now. The example of it can be the purpose of creating high-rated model, where I do need several specific options (like legs and arms thickness, tallness etc), and I want the autorating profile to help me with them namely: I dont care about hands/feet size, any will do, but those values will affect the rating. And so, when I meet the girl I like, I would like to update my current autorating profile with all the values from her. It can be done manually, by creating the monkey custom json with all the ratings, screening/papering it somewhere and creating the new profile manually ingame, but it seems quite boring =)
I would suggest this can be solved by modders (I'm not that smart) in such a way:
When the new girl arrives, profile [current profile] rating file is automatically created (and placed somewhere, saying, with guest_last_... .json). Then [new] profile is created based on [current]. All the profile features I've marked important (all those features should be stated in some separate file, one set for each of 10 groups) are copied from the [game] profile (created in-game normally and set in-game as a autorating profile). All the minor features are being coping from [current] profile. Then [new] profile should be loaded and applyed in-game.
For inspiration, here is the python code for reading the profile.png options (not perfect =):

You can read the marks (interpretations) in-game with monkey custom mods json (stored in \SMA 0.9.8c\BepInEx\config\Monkey\Mods\
myCustom_doityourself.json) like this (dont forget to color and bold the caption for tits size!):
JSON:
{
"Name": "<color='#FFFAF0'>Face</color> <color='red'>Anger</color> Gain",
"Type": "Enum",
"Level": 3,
"Path": [
"<MainFemaleCharacter>/Infos/Interpretaciones",
"InterpretadorDeFemales",
"interpretacion/interpretacionDeFacialSkin/difficulty/anoyanceGain"
]
}
(read monkey's manual for details)
Well, it seems to work similar to BH alternative genes, but not touching the girls directly - only the autoratings, which, I belive, can help a lot in testing strategies and speed up the process, almost without cheating =)
Me really want at least profile-dump feature for the current model, please point me in case it is already realized and I've missed it =)
