This fear mechanics was so poorly considered. Women get routinely ogled; they know the experience well enough that they don't have to imagine it happening when it's not. And they don't suddenly become hypersensitive to it when voluntarily attending a photo shoot. Also, these squeamish feedback responses, sometimes to a hyperbolic, are dissonant with gameplay when there isn't actually a net gain in fear. "Horrified", really? When the needle isn't even moving? Fucking really?

More than poorly implemented i just think its an useless feauture as Anger and Pain was already enough for negative meters to look at. Dosent make much sense a girl that applies to a casting and is in costant fear of being looked at by a photographer.

Right now im in a phase of the game where all the girls generated dont have fear anymore, they still complain that they are terrified of the camera and stuff like that, even if they are suposed to be professional models, but the fear meter dont appear anymore.

I don't disagree, but it is possible that a lot of the issues we are having is from not really understanding the rating system, which is definitely poorly implemented in my opinion. The fact that some ratings are tied to more than one trait, like hair, and not knowing exactly what ratings may effect certain response, makes it very difficult to know how to rate them, but that could be the intent of the game. It may be as simple as if a girl is afraid of the camera she probably should be rated very low on that trait and future prospects will be filtered out of the gene pool.

Incongruent feedbad isn't just poor gameplay design, it's frustrating to quality of gameplay. From a gamer standpoint, it's easier to tolerate it when it's informative, not when it's a yappy dog circling its tail.

even with Monkey, that shit doesn't work. Even if you paid money for sex, there's no sex. All the holes are covered in some kind of armor. No penetration. This is bullshit, not an upgrade.
it works...but you must invest more time and not take the first models...some are not good....when you interview the model you must also play longer with her then it can go...slowly!!

Almost 100% of girls don't even have a sexual experience. How does a woman over 25 have zero sexual experience? Even stimulating them, they look like cloth dolls, no movement

True. The irony to me is that the game mirrors the point I keep making about rating traits that have multiple features, like hair, where you love one part and hate another. When things cum together (pun intended) the game is like nothing else available, but trying to get everything together is a real pain out of the box without mods. Thankfully we have some great modders, like Thora and Commonfactory, who have kept the game alive up to now and hopefully will continue to provide us with the tools to make SMA the game it can be and we all want.

What the hell?! Do you realize what Monkey can do? Ignore all these restrictions and add “wishful thinking.” But even so, it doesn't work. What's the point of all this if you can't do anything right even with cheats. It's bullshit.

Does anyone know how many girls you can hire when you have the most expensive studio? I could test it out by keep hiring and not saving the game just to see whats the limit, but if asnyone already know i would apreciate the info.

I never had problems with penetration aside from the limp dick bug and i played most of the game without Monkey. I just noticed the beginner girls are mostly used to rate them and send them to other studios to make money, cuz without cheats is really hard to even have sex with them without shooting out the anger and fear meters.

Also another thing to notice, even when using monkey is the size of the dick and dick stifness. If the dick is too thick it will be harder to penetrate, and if the stiffness is too low it will also be harder to penetrate. I noticed that by defaut the stifness is low so increasing that in monkey might help. I use the stiffness in the middle.
Also using the hand to grab the player penis makes penetrating more tight holes easier.

So as long you dont play with a tree trunk that acts like a wet noodle, it should be ok. Getting BJs is still a challenge if its not a hired girl you already "trained".

i tryed to launch this version on linux wine it has black screen graphics with ugly chunks of some models ,i tryed through lutris it has an error
It worked with me with lutris and GE-Proton. Some times it crashes. But since this version is still buggy it is better than nothing until the next update.

If I remember correctly it was 5 girls. Make sure to choose wisely because of the firing bug.

Always appreciated when people not just rant but provide actual valuable guidance to this badly documented game. The BJ advice sounds good, will try that. Just to add my two cents:
Even without monkey you can penetrate most girls. If you get a girl with high tightness and resistance it can become quite the challenge. You have to slowly (using ALT+Mousewheel, or grab your trunk and ALT+Mousemove) break her in going back and forth. And for every action it looks like even though they don't respond well at first you can at least push her further and further by just beeing persistent. You only have to reset her anger by making her feel good in between. If you are patient you can even fuck amateurs (first/cheapest campaign) in the back alley, but that requires some real effort.
