Right... considering the RNG nature of the game one can't count on finding a bartender as prescribed - in fact I agree with the analyze - so the only viable option is to cheat the stats of the bartender and keep doing so with the first singer and waitress...
I'm not sure the developer intended this but frankly I see no other option.
Will continue to cheat away with my employees just to see how the game progresses but clearly there must be some game rebalancing on the way.
I usually start a new game if I don't find the right bartender by the end of January :) but I guess the following is a better way:

A typical strategy I use is hire the first > 0 lewdness bartender I find and start building the kitchen right away. Don't waste money training them. As soon as the kitchen is ready, look for a new bartender with higher lewdness and when you hire them, move the current low-lewdness bartender to cook.
Moving employees around is a great strategy because you get a hint of their skill at the job even if you don't know their actual skills and you don't have to wait days/weeks before you hire a new one. In fact, I sometimes hire a second bartender just before I finished building the main seating area and then move one of them to waitress.

1. well, there are rumors that mc took her virginity, so it posible to modify it to that it will include other chars too ?

2. if i recall corectly that i didnt interact with her after start of game, mayby only she send me some message via phone, and thats all. it was my first intereaction with her in real, that i noticed that she have totaly different pic.
and when i did go to earlier save, i noticed that close to her name is ? instead of her pic, only when clicked on her to find it was different pic there too, just some girl with mask on her face.

and when thinking about new game, will it be possible to add body type preferences generation there ?
i dont know how others, but i dont especialy like womans who weight more than me, but i know there are some males who have kink/fetish for that.
so preference selection/slider will fit everyone.
1. the issue is that there's no good way for me to find everyone that has that gossip. It's is easy to remove it but I don't want to go thru every character and every gossip they have every time someone has sex. Like I said, it was a poor design and need to fix the design and that's a lot of work.

2. Ok I'll see if I can reproduce that. The ? means no image was set so for whatever reason your selection didn't get applied.

3. If you don't want to see certain images, you can delete them from the folder. You only need to delete the thumbnail.

Just so I understand it, the principle is: (not necessarily with these stats and certainly not with these numbers):

You assume basic dancing skill is 0. However I know that my dancer has fitness of 80 (which is all I know) and that adds 40%, so now I guess her dancing skill is 32. However after training her once I find out she dislikes dancing, so I deduct 10 but add 5 for the training I did and now assume it is 27?
More or less. There's an additional step that it rounds the value to a multiple of 25 or 10 depending on how much info you have. The reason for this is that the AI clubs need to have an approximation of their job skill to be able to offer a salary. Once it was added to the other owners, the MC go it too and I saw no reason to hide there.

(old bug) When I try to give a job to someone and when it comes to the salary sometimes it doesn't tell me that he didn't accept and the screen closes and (new bug) I find it all day in my office until I go to sleep
This could be the same issue someone else pointed out a few days ago. If they ask for too much money the scene dies and they linger in the office until they have a reason to leave. This was caused by someone having too high the AI Cost Multiplier setting. Make sure yours is set to 1 or something close to it.

if i delete family.tfl could i play a game without investor story or would that break game?
It's probably best to just say no to him the first time you meet him. Then he won't bother you. You would also need to delete the runtime/tfl/stories/family.tfo file. And then you would need to delete it every time you update the game. (The game may log errors about functions not found but that should not break the game).

Is there a way to specify what potential job an image pack would go to? Like, if I wanted a one for a character you'd meet that would be a sex worker from the get-go
No. Images are assigned to people based on their physical attributes. Their job is not a factor.

I'm running into a bug that I haven't seen before. I just interviewed someone for my first bartender position but I don't have the option to offer the job. My only available option is "No".
This happens if you don't have any jobs available that the person qualifies for. For example, if she's under the legal drinking age you can't offer the bartender job. If it's a dude, you can't offer a stripper job.

Bug in the investigation scene of the friend story.

The player character shouldn't be in the available pool.
Ok, that's 3 people pointing that out. I can't figure out how it's happening.

View attachment 4711622

But is it normal that she is both Unemployed and a Commissioner?

View attachment 4711649

I hired her and Commissioner is permanent?
She's unemployed. She used to be your commissioner which is why that relationship is still there. When a commissioner is ousted from their job, the old "my commissioner/my constituent" relationship doesn't go away. Not sure if it should. It still keeps track that you have a closer relationship than just acquaintance.

Question, the search function don't seems to work for the installed folders on PC, what gives?
Sorry, don't know what you are asking.

So I was hoping I could find all the preg images in the character folder so I used the search bar in file explorer for Windows, and it returned no results, despite finding them in the folders, the search bar could not get me the files by the file names.

I checked and found this:

# For handling costs, set < 1 to give the AI clubs a break
ai_cost_mult float 1 # DIFF
initial_interest_rate float 4.5
initial_inflation float 0 # this is a percentage, so 2 == 2% inflation
min_inflation_pct float 0.25 # pct chance infl changes initially
max_inflation_delta float 0.028 # max inflation change amt

I don't know if this is the right part

The older sister always showed up within the first week or two whenever I started a new game on previous versions - now I can't get her to show up at all.

I've confirmed the younger sister showing up by zooming through some time - though getting the mother to spawn has only happened once for me ever through plenty of restarts.

Any ideas why the older sister won't spawn? (also any ideas on getting the mother to spawn consistently?)

Thanks for the new update of Fast Start and choosing family members, both of which are huge positives, was a bit of a heart break that I'd need to start over from scratch each update, so the fast start is nice.


My current pipe dream is an option sometime in the future, I like to play as a lesbian female MC, but I'd really like a way to impregnate my S/Os. Maybe a futa or clinical option some day?

A bit of a strange question if I create a character and (for example) I put scw-00001-f4w-mnsll-lsm-x-head (original file) and I put three other images naming them scw-00001-f1w-mnsll-lsm-x-head, scw-00001-f2w-mnsll-lsm-x-head, scw-00001-f3w-mnsll-lsm-x-head do they work with the scw-00001 images or do I have to copy and rename all the images?

You cannot have multiple image sets with the same name, which in your case is scw-00001. Why would you want multiple heads anyway?

I don't want multiple heads but one head for multiple ages so as not to create the same character and multiply the images (for a custom folder)

The first sister is always created immediately after your character generation is completed. She will be listed if you "dump p 3" (without quotes) toward the end of your skills as something like "closest_friend=XXX", typically being between 208 and 212. It is possible for her to start with a day job that eats up all her stamina so you don't actually see her around town except potentially on weekends (factory worker is especially bad for this). If you "dump p XXX" with her number during each time period, you can see her current location near the top/left of the info. If that is "away", then she is at her off-screen day job and she will be at that every weekday during morning/noon/afternoon, then often be too tired to do anything else and just hang out at "home" the rest of the day, occasionally getting out during the later periods, or (worse for you) having just enough energy to go to the gym after-hours (multiple times I have seen her hit the gym during the night time period, when the player cannot enter).

Best way to more consistently see her that I have found, in this situation, is to just use "dump p 208" (or whichever number she is assigned) every time period on the weekends and during evening/night on weekdays to see where she is set at, then go there directly to catch her early.

Thanks dude. In the older versions she'd always contact me almost immediately to recommend a new employee, so she'd show up in my contact list. I assumed because that was no longer happening something must have been bugged.

I'll dump the character list when I have a chance to see if I can find her that way.

Do you happen to know if the mother exists in the same way, or is she an rng spawn? (I'm aware you have to be under a certain age for her to show up)

Likely just bad RNG. I started a few new games on the last couple versions, and sometimes she gets a call in with someone in the first 1-3 days of posting, other times she can go long enough I have already filled the jobs from randoms so she never gets the chance.

All you can do is duplicate the set under different names, so when creating the image save it twice as xxx00001-f1x and xxx00002-f2x.

I've seen this also as I was trying to do a sweep of picture files with typos a little while back.

Suspect it's just the way the folders have been written if they were created with a 3rd party tool. That or they're not decompressing with searchable attributes.

Bug with the investor story (no screenshot, sorry).

The wife can be selected as your date. None of the investor's family should be in the available pool.

such a strange bug popped up on me. (I immediately write that I only change stats for MC, in the case of other heroes I only change, or rather correct greed and will.) And here is the situation and bug. I hire my sister as a bartender. When I manage to find a better one and hire her, I transfer my sister to janitor, and I start training her. During training, at values 60 and higher, the values start to rise every 2nd-3rd training, despite success every time. At 93, the end does not move for a month of training. (always positive news.
