Ok, so what is your advice if I want to start over, what should I prioritize with first? I know maintaining the business, but again how do I recruit people? I try to bribe them with higher salary they still refusing which kinda ridiculous if I should say myself lol.
Sooner or later I'll write a "first months guide", since I am a serial restarter...

First thing to do as soon as the home screen appears: "post available jobs --> bartender".

Unemployed NPC's will accept the minimum wage 99% of the times. Exceptions are: 1. If they already had a job but were fired; 2. If they didn't like the interview; 3. a bit of randomness. NPC's who are suggested by your daughter/sister will ask for much more, and I would avoid hiring them unless they're really really good.

The in-game help (upper right corner) helps you identify the most desirable traits/abilities/skills for each job. Also consider that each room as a "lewdness factor" (again, it's explained in the help menu.) As for the interview per se, you may want to find out a couple of traits, a couple of stats, and learn more about their likes/dislikes. The goal is to improve their opinion around 15%+ (they'll get the modifier "great interview") before you move into the next stage.

If you post a job and nobody seems interested, just roam around and click "consider for job" whenever you meet an unemployed NPC (be aware, though, there are minumum age requirements for each job).

So, an interview with a potential bartender: Learn more about traits (sociability + willpower); Learn more about abilities (lewdness + focus); learn more about their likes/dislikes (jobs is a good option).

Do not be too picky but consider that traits never change, abilities are hard to improve, while skills are fairly easy to improve, so it's better to have a bartender with focus 100 and service -50 than the other way around.

Contrary to what most people suggest, I think in v2 you should hire a second bartender early on: if they're good and their wage is low, they'll help you boost your satisfaction, fame and revenues. Also, you may discover some other traits/abilities/skills along the way and find out that a decent bartender can be a great cook or good singer...

Finally, you are going to ask for a loan sooner or later, so don't be too afraid of losing money in the first 5-6 months as long as more laws are passed and new rooms are built... And pay off the debt manually.

One feature to suggest - is it possible to sort the rooms? They are scattered and making navigation to different rooms slower.

View attachment 5029568
If you go into your save game file then yes you can edit the location of every room (except the parking lot, dont move it)

First make a copy of the save file you are editing (mess up and save game is broken)

I suggest downloading Notepad++ for editing (it is free), but you can just use regular notepad.

In your save file find the "Room" entries. They are just above the "Club" and "Person" entries, below the"Knowledge" entries

They should look something like this:
Code:
Room|239|kitchen|1|1|0|34|||63|0.1227557|False|-1|
Room|249|storage|4|1|0|34|||33|0.1903905|False|-1|
The first number is the transaction number. Everything done in the game has a transaction. Don't change the number. Next it tells you what the Room type is and then next number is LOCATION. The next 2 number are not important for this, but the next number is the Club ID number. Your club id is always 34. Thus find all the entries with 34 and those are in your club. The last entry is either True is the room is build or False if it is still under construction. The number before the False is the current build completion percentage.

Now the location:
Your club is setup in a grid. Restroom is Location 0. and then left to right, top down add 1 to the location.
Main Office is 9, Kitchen is 1. Bar1 is 6. Storage Room is 4, Lockerroom1 is 3.

THIS PATTERN breaks when you get the Parking lot. Parking lot is location 30. and the next location on the club map that gets build is 31. In your club picture Sex Room2 is 31.

Now just go in and change the location numbers to the places you want. The game doesnt care about where in the club it is as long as it is present.


Now for anyone who has read this far, there is a preview to my new pack in my download link. Enjoy.

PS. this new version can be funny. Especially with this Decency Society.

I think just about everyone in my city is a member now.

More funny, the original woman running it, has become one of my GF's and she loves threesomes, and sex in public.

Make sure you sleep. That's the main way you recover health. Even if your energy is high, you should still sleep every night. Going to the clinic only removes illness and injuries but does not affect your health. So if those are 0, and your health is going down, is because of something else. Particularly bad habits, like eating junk food, smoking or doing drugs. Make sure you don't like those things.

Going to the beach or park at night/late is not safe! So people don't do it anymore. Which leaves downtown the only place to go until clubs are able to open during those hours.
Okay it's probably the not sleeping then, it's weird because that never seemed to matter in the old version, maybe i changed something in that 1 and don't remember what -_-. anyhoo guess i'll have to try sleeping more in the game.

Thanks!, I tried with your detailed guide. It works quite nicely - the only thing is my Parking Lot Is "40" instead of "30".
It was tedious to edit, had to copy all rooms texts and convert to a spread sheet and back. Thanks again!

Your ice packs looks good! May I know what you're using to generate them if they are AI?

I go into it more on the discord.

I use Comfy-ui, to run SDXL and now Flux. It is a txt-to-img then img-to-img upscale set up for both Generation models. Multiple LoRAs to get the right look.

They can't take days off unless they are too sick to work.
Nah, I keep running into the civil servant at the cafe and gym during working hours - unless you can be too sick to work but not to work out. It's also an issue with the gym trainer (no, not just on Tuesdays) but is only a problem if you need to buy membership.

I still find that you can keep up with it by doing it once a day until June or so.
Maybe for certain values of 'keep up' but I'm regularly responding to around 250 points of outstanding maintenance with over 200 points of morning maintenance work only to see it immediately go up to 180+ again even though the club is closed. I think I'm sometimes accumulating more than 400 points of maintenance in a day when my only customer facilities are the bar and a restroom with no upgrades, though I haven't kept a close enough eye on outstanding maintenance to be certain of that number. You can have about 90 outstanding maintenance without seeing the 'Do Maintenance' button.

Mostly it's the way it increases when there's no-one in the club that's incongruous and a pain if you're trying to keep early expenses down by restricting opening hours (or if you can't get the requisite laws passed).

Still there. You have to have a good enough relationship with them to be able to ask that. (I.e. you can't walk over to someone you just met and ask them to get naked!)
I have two girlfriends at 100/100, one of whom 'loves' both revealing clothes and public nudity, and I'm yet to see the option.

And hey, I'm constantly getting people I've just met walking over to initiate sex.

(That has been a bug since the first version!)
And I've been trying to draw your attention to it for a while. TBH I think the whole dick pick mechanic needs nerfing. I know it only works half a dozen or so times, but while it does it makes several talk options seem underpowered and redundant. Also seems odd that if you send someone a nude selfie they don't notice your penis size but if they spot it on a social media post they do.

I think those manager's salary are annual salary instead of hourly rate. At late game, I have a manager that earns 35k+ , and comparing to a stripper that earns $30/hour - the stripper's annual salary is 50K+ (I open noon to late night, so the stripper is earning more than the manager anually)

I noticed a weird issue with my revenue being negative. I'm early game, and I've seen it happen twice. First time was when I spent $500 to sponsor the next SMD meeting, and that made my revenue for the day essentially the drinks revenue minus $500. Second time was purchasing a gym license for $800, and made my revenue for the day drop to -$735.

Should those be factored into the Revenue calculation? For one thing, Revenue should almost never be negative because it doesn't include expenses at all. Expenses matter for income/profit/loss/cashflow, but not Revenue.

Playing V2

ETA: I haven't noticed actual business expenses like purchasing alcohol affect the Revenue numbers. I've only noticed it with payments that are not business related. And... I'm currently sitting at -56% revenue share because of this.
And I just checked the charts, and I'm not seeing Revenue ever go negative there. So that likely is getting the correct numbers.

Bug: when you're moving into a hotel during the date - other NPCs could still remain in the same location. Easiest way to achieve is to have multiple dates in a chain and always picking hotel option (unsure if NPC-NPC sex events are ever using the hotel).

Bro, TotalFluke, with all the love in the world, there must be some sort of a character editor in-game. It's been a long time since I've experienced such a devastating amount of pain by trying to adjust sister's stats with commands and save files just to be able to assign her the image I want
Actually, figured out the problem here - if you use cheat set_image with any other pack than scw, it will cause an error. But if you use image from scw pack it will adjust the character stats automatically. Hope it helps someone

I did notice some rare, random increase in maintenance points just after the opening hours: for instance, I'm open in the evening only, I do maintenance at night: 240 --> 30; and then, late night, it's back to 160 or something.



I have two girlfriends at 100/100, one of whom 'loves' both revealing clothes and public nudity, and I'm yet to see the option.
That's weird: it's literally the first thing I noticed in v2. Since it was rephrased/moved, maybe you simply didn't notice? Or maybe your installation is corrupted? Or is it linked to some taboo you have disabled?

I'm not a native English speaker but I do work in accounting and I kind of noticed some weird terminology… but yes, that number simply represent money you received (in one way way or another) - money you spent (in one way way or another). It includes gifts, loans received, debts paid off, slaves and drugs!
