If someone wants to get a hard woman he will try in real life and get actual laid. This is a fucking game. Chill out with these fucking new gen thoughts. Games are to relax.
Note: The quote is examplatory but showcases my point.
Everyone thinks their idea of "what a game is" or even specific "what this game should be like" is the only valid opinion. Guess what, that's why all the different genres emerged. And if your ideas don't line up with this game no one forces you to play it. Sure, that might feels like a personal loss and I am sorry for you.
TLDR:
There are two problems imo that are closely related:
1. The game had complex mechanics before and it feels like the complexity increased without propper (or might say any) documentation and explanation.
2. Systems are interdependant but only partially reworked or implemented at all. (Like the new attributes that you can't raise after character creation, but beeing unattractive and having a micro penis isn't working)
This create the feeling of a broken update that was never intended to be played for the pleasure of playing (or fapping).
Treat it as a dev log showing that the game has not been abandoned and giving a peek at whats to come.
My best guess of what the dev aims to achieve:
A more trainer like experience where you build your own squad (or harem, or bordell) to your liking, including studio reputation.
By that you build a connection to the models and that is (imo) one of the main factors we trend to this kind of pornograhpy or we would all play only bordell sims where you fuck everyone whenever you want (or visit one irl).
Some tips to actually enjoy what is there:
Use cheat engine to max out starting attributes (except penis, one or two from max is enough but do as you like). Search for type "4 bytes" and exact value. Start without any points attributed and search for 6, then repeat scans with changed values until you narrowed it down to one. Create a cheap campaign, save (best before every interview, sometimes you can't get an erection and restarting the interview after loading is a temporary fix) and invite a model. Look up your balance in the agency info (use tab or the pc) and make a exact search for the value with type "float" (1,565.65$ can be looked up as 1565.65), then tip the model and exact search for the new balance (old balance minus 50) if she accepted the tip. Once you found the correct memory address you can set it to 999999 so you never have to worry about money again.
Now you can buy and test the new locations (at the weekend only if I remember correctly).
If you want easier woman run the most expensive campaign. No amateurs and most of them are willing to do lingery or even erotic shootings from the get go. Giving them a higher weekly salary and higher provisions give a buff to them liking you like attractiveness does. With money solved you can easily buy affection as long as you don't go overboard with payments and the actual amount of employed models.
Do in house "shootings" (aka training sessions) to work with your models. The dialog when sending them home implies some development, but I didn't put the time in yet to see if they actually progress. I ended up paying them for services, but they still never performed oral even though agreed on.
And for everyone complaining about single interviews beeing gone: You can invite saved models (I guess only while having an active campaign but not sure here) from your pc for a fee of 500$. Yes I know that is not exactly what was the single interview before but at least you can invite the models you want.
Lastly about monkey: You can still used the "old" version to make them cum at an instance and for free cam.
