It could be cause 40 and 50 year olds are uploading heavily filtered pictures to look like 30 year oldsI tend to avoid ages below 21 or 22. Anything younger than that may come up with way too young-looking. Middle-aged women are tough. They come up too young or too old. Are there no images of nomal 40 and 50-year old women on the internet to model from?
Been working more with the open pose and it's a lot of hit and miss. Even using one image for skeleton and another for depth, if the pose is a bit complex you get nightmare creatures. Spent a lot of time for an all fours from behind... it's what took the wind from my sails to automate 50 pics for the current girls. Some pics and poses can be done with simple 4 batches and automating the prompts you can leave it running, come back, pick the best pic out of the 4 for each pose and run with it, but for some poses, not even 20 attempts would get decent result (everything that is not standing up facing forward if naked)Awesome about the openpose stuff. I tried it once without much success and gave up because I was focused on just getting the faces right. Now that I know how to get the same face on different poses I need to try the poses again. Because I'm seriously tired of the typical ones. And I totally get you with the lack of consistency of how things change when you modify the values.
Regarding the poses, is not so much to be tired of the typical ones (in my case) is that I would like more variety. Most girls i've come across (didn't play enough to get all of them in the game and I refuse to spoil myself looking at the folder), if I meet them "from the front" I'll never get to see the ass, for example. and vice versa. You get a nice looking model, facing sideways, well that's all you will get in all her states. I would like to change that.

Trying to make some alternative poses for same state of undress. Underwear from the front, back, maybe sitting. I'm making poses for fingering and bj. I'll try to hijack the pose system. I saw you have different poses allowed for tests ("fun,swimwear,underwear") so gonna try to do the same so it will randomly picks underwear 1, 2, 3. (will have to create new metadata for them but I'm sure there's somewhere a reference for "swimwear = ss" in the code) then since the act will see if it needs to be undressed, i can add new conditions for the new contextual images, (if it's sex, sex from behind, etc).
I think it should be a, not too extensive modification and it will have a great impact in gameplay, making encounters more interactive than the 4 possible pics.
I also want to bring the function to ask a girl to strip for me to the relationship interaction. I think it's a pity that to see all the visual content from a girl you have to put her to strip, and I think it's perfectly rational to see if your girlfriend wants to strip. The same system that checks if she wants to undress on her own can be tweaked to load some striptease pics. A little flavor text and voila.
One day I'd like to fix the economy, for the moment I cut all salaries in half (not just the clubs or nobody would like the job). i did some napkin math, on a new save, hiring a girl, paying her 23$ an hour, she worked 3h per evening, I get 2$ per drink sold, she would have to sell 100 drinks to pay her salary. If you get two girls, money pit. if you get cooks, more money pit, building the rooms, etc. Even the most advanced save I had with strippers and singers and quite the reputation, the wages made it impossible to get any profit. I know you said in the late game you roll in money, but I don't know what really late game is. I know I played for A LOT of hours, and math didn't add up at any point during it. And yeah, it should probably not be the focus of the game but it pains me to have it there within reach of a couple of tweaks and just have to ignore it, leaning on the patch of the loans.
Mind you, is not so much a critique as just... commenting the game with other people that play it
