Unity Strip Club Wars [v2.05] [Total Fluke Studios]

[nightsong96]

If you look a few pages back, or if you search for 'STD' in this thread, you should find the answer to your question.

This topic is covered in my first messages in this thread.
In summary: there is no automatic procedure to clean the disease from a save file all at once.

01. You can protect yourself by replacing the second-to-last digit with a 0 in your line by editing with Notepad+.
02. You can avoid being reinfected and control the spread by putting 0 in the fields you find under 'Options' / 'Characters' / and the last two lines where 'STD' is mentioned.
03. You can 'miraculously heal' your favorite contacts by searching for them in your save file and, just like for your character, replacing the second-to-last digit.
(04.) I don't know if it makes a difference, but I also replace with 0 the values on the first line when 'STD' is mentioned. I feel like it's just related to the announcement of the disease. It always ends up coming back to 1 as far as I'm concerned.

However, be careful in my case: some rumors persist. In fact, I can't delete the fact that the 'doctor' my character consulted still mentions the disease and refuses to go further with the character. I changed the rumor delay from 31 to 01 in the file referenced by TotalFluke, but the rumor persists, even after a month and, in fact, even after 31 months

Edit: I would also add, as mentioned a few messages above, that even by putting a 0 in the two affected fields, at some point the scenario will bring up the announcement of the disease's existence. Whether it's in a game with an 'infected' save or a new game started with the values set to 0.

Here are the latest messages on the topic a few pages back:
Or simply check pages 170 to 173.

Thank you for your explaination, unfortunaly, modifying the save file always resulted in a loading failure or saving failure, so I gave up.

I have another question for the fans image packs. Anyone knows who ccw00001 is?

Please consider adding the lewdness growth (the district-wide effect every 50 days or so) timing as a config file setting. It's one of those settings that, if available, would help speed the game up similar to law frequency settings.

Can't speak for everyone, but it's defintiely one I'd use.

Also, allow Main Seating Areas to begin construction as soon as the kitchen starts construction. Don't think anyone would actually wait until the kitchen is complete and ready, and only then start thinking about where to seat people!

If she's now 100% bisexual then doesn't that mean your convincing has already worked to change them so male and female attraction is both 100? Not sure what your goal is with the character though so maybe it is down to some kind of RNG.

So she's fully bi? What else are you looking for? Is it that she didn't tell you? She won't always do that. She only notifies one person so there may be someone else she prefers to tell than you. It's usually the last person she likes that talked about it with her.

She is listed as 100% bi but will tell me that she is not attracted to men (so no possibility e. g. of a relationship) and her icon also hasn't flipped over and still shows her as a lesbian.

Thanks for your suggestions.
I guess i found a sweetpoint in pricing the clubservice,i fired some overpaid dancers and resigned current staff while also working on fame.
I am sure i stopped going deeper in dept with these moves (i am -700,000 yikes lol).
My hope was to get hands on better quality beaverage and food so i could raise my prices of those to
earn mo money.
Me acting in porn movies doesnt bring much money too...i guess thats the fate of male porn actors haha

While i am at it TotalFluke... are opening a porn studio,hiring actors/actresses,making porns and selling them something you thought/considered about?
Would be great if these are on your "i think about it"-list

Also, few days back you replied to my post regarding the communication between silblings,mother/son/daughter etc, that they exist.
While that is true on several occassions like one sister is mad that the other sister is working as a stripper in a club and i should do something about it.
But i never goes much deeper to my observations.

Like, i have a stripper in my club and her mother showed up few months later and to my surprise she was not mad (like previous 2 moms lol) but also wanted me to hire her so she could closer to her which i did.
My club gets a fame bump if both strip together which i find is a great detail and a motivation for me to keep them happy.

But sometimes they speak about each other to me but never like "i saw my mother" or"my daughter" doing this or that.
The mother also suggested even also a threesome with her daughter to me but she doesnt say "me and my daughter want a threesome", instead just the name of the other person.
It goes further with the threesome itself,options like daughter wants to help undress the mother(vice versa) or situational new options to choose from could be awesome...
Just few thoughts,maybe not many are into this stuff so i understand if this too much hassle to look at.

Anyways,i am going back to figure out how to slice the dept lil bit down from now.

So, I'm on a date with my sister and this happens

That's a good first step. I'm glad that my advice was helpful. Also don't worry about your the low quality of your food and drinks. In fact even at normal quality, you have a good margin on profits for food and drink. While quality is important for satisfaction and fame, fame itself - getting more people to come to your club - is more important and that can be gained by having some high lewdness waitresses and singers.

Related to that, what I usually do is when I am looking for front facing employees (Bartender, Hostess, Singer etc) is I approach all the unemployed NPCs, or even those that are in low paying jobs, and offer them interviews for aforementioned those jobs. Then during the interviews, one of the questions that I always ask them is for their Lewdness score. I would then hire the first one with a suitably high Lewd score.

Because they were unemployed, you can usually get away with paying them below the market rate. And if you set the policy of no dating outside of work, you can just make a move on them and give them a few orgasms to deal with the initial low happiness score.

Then it's a just a matter of training them in the appropriate skills (I make sure to read skill books as those skills are also handy for when you have to step in) and changing their opinions so that they enjoy and are happy in their jobs. Once you do those, you can pretty much get away with not raising their pay. Of course I think there's a mechanic that would increase the cost of living in your district but usually it'll a while before their low pay starts to affect their happiness. Or more accurately you can't keep up with all the fucking that needs to be done to keep everyone happy haha.

With the aforementioned strategy, I've always been able to quickly climb out of the debt I incur from building the dressing room and seating area.

Anyway, I hope that was helpful and once again, good luck.

Yeah you have to be very careful, just one tiny mishap, can bork your save and result in game assets infinite loading and stuff...

I have another question for the fans image packs. Anyone knows who ccw00001 is?

Thats japanese Idol and Actress Yuka Someya (33).

I would like to say that i really appreciate your engagement in this comment section
and cant wait for your next update

" Is your debt. The more debt you have the less quality options you have."

Looks like i find myself in a bad spot
I dont want to start over coz i poured plenty of hours in the
current session(and i acomplished some good relations which were time consuming hehe)
so any advice from you or other "club owners" what could be a potentially good/better money income source?
I really want to break through my current downward debt spiral.
Right now i am about to get the minimal club taxes voted,that will save me lil bit of money but still not
enough to make a difference.

Thx in advance

Other people made a bunch of good suggestions, but I would also add to watch your maintenance. If it gets out of control it will tank your fame and your customers. Make sure to keep it under 1000. (The other game in my own game I suddenly lost 60k in one month and took me a while to realize it was because my club had grown too much and my sole janitor couldn't keep up and my maintenance was around 15,000.

I've noticed much of the focus is on building systems because the game is still pretty new and that you draw inspiration from Lab Rats 2. I was wondering if like Lab Rats 2 - Reformulate (the mod that basically continues on Vrens work since he kinda vanished) you will eventually be building out scripted story content. The systems are great but personally i've always enjoyed the story side more than the management side of these game.

So the plan was to build a sand box in which then more story-oriented content could be added. And for the most part that has been the case. The cult, movie stuff and the college sister are the 3 obvious examples of story content geared exclusively for the MC. There's a 4th one in the works right now that will come out (at least the first part of it) in the next update.

Please consider adding the lewdness growth (the district-wide effect every 50 days or so) timing as a config file setting. It's one of those settings that, if available, would help speed the game up similar to law frequency settings.

Can't speak for everyone, but it's defintiely one I'd use.

Also, allow Main Seating Areas to begin construction as soon as the kitchen starts construction. Don't think anyone would actually wait until the kitchen is complete and ready, and only then start thinking about where to seat people!

The lewdness growth depends on your club, the more fame it has, the more it will make the district lewdness (and thus everyone in it), increase. You can make that go up faster by tweaking the other parameters that speed up things. You can also use the cult to bring people lewdness up higher as welll.

She is listed as 100% bi but will tell me that she is not attracted to men (so no possibility e. g. of a relationship) and her icon also hasn't flipped over and still shows her as a lesbian.

Ok, so this sounds like some sort of bug. Not sure why. Haven't seen it before and I can't find any obvious reason why it would have gotten stuck like that. In general once the m_attr/f_attr values go over 83 their sexual orientation changes to bisexual (this is what controls the icon and allows for relationships). If that didn't trigger something went wrong.

If you want to try to fix it, you can change it in the save file or you can run this command via the console:

Replace 12345 with the acual id of the character. The console command is preferable since that will send you the notification, add a gossip and do a few other housekeeping tasks.

You are 700,000 in debt? Wow, didn't think that was possible. That's going to be tough to get out of. Note that if you too far in debt is going to be really hard to hire people. And employees are more likely to quit. So you can get to a situation where your only bartender quits and then can't hire another one. (This is what happens when you see other clubs going bankrupt - they get in a position where they can't get out). At this point maybe starting a new game may be a better idea. I understand not wanting to lose all the effort in getting there but being that far in debt is not going to be less fun.

So, I'm on a date with my sister and this happens

Thanks, I actually had a check for that situation but a typo made it not work. Will fix.

Yeah,you are right...it was a struggle to keep employees in check lol

In meanwhile i could slice a dept of 50,000 down so i sit now at around -650,000.
I hope i can continue the trend without any major incidents.
The hardest moments are when the timing of paying employes and paying taxes are close to each other.
That burns a hole into my pockets(and beyond) haha
Not giving up yet

Also,one thing should not be ignored...it would be awkward (to me at least) to start a new game and to see familiar faces/models having totally different roles.
At least to me the current roles of characters tied to models are visualy important.

Like the hostess i have right now could be a no name street worker in a fresh game or the mother could be the cult leader i need to get rid of.

there already are some story content things in game. but if your talking more plotline storys. maby? system seems like it would work with it, it would however most likely be like the no name npc storys in lab rats at best thou. quick and simple

Ah, ok. Thanks for the reply, clearly I misunderstood how that particular mechanic worked!

You can also add money trough the save file, breaks a little the inmersion but just take it as you received the will of a misterious uncle that died lol. When you spiral down in debt and don't want to give up, halving the debt is not too bad.

Thank you for your reply. I had it happen twice now, the other one was in an old game from a very previous version though (0.6 or something).

Unfortunately the console command does not work.

As yu can see I tried around helplessly a bit. I also tried setting her m_attr back to below the threshold but apparently that is an "uncheatable" attribute.

 

[jcb2546]

I dont know whats going on but been stuck on loading assest from start for an hour now please help tried the megapacv3 and now the updated ofg pac still same result

 

[Crel]

potential bug? Just had a character tell me I got them pregnant.

I had "base_pregnancy float 0" in the user_config file. Base config file still had 50

I suppose they could be lying? Dunno.

 

[Crel]

I dont know whats going on but been stuck on loading assest from start for an hour now please help tried the megapacv3 and now the updated ofg pac still same result

possibly caused by the config file entries being incorrect. I had a similar issue when I left a trailing space after asktoundress in the mod list. So I'd go double-check your config edits

 

[aslduargopihau]

It is kind of ridiculous that you need "open all day" to be able to get the dancers law. A) it takes too long to get to that point. B) logically the two don't seem connected. Maybe have it based on just late night or something sooner than "all day". C) You kinda get income capped for months/ years of the game after singers drop. D) The game is called strip club wars and it takes in game years to get to fully clothed dancers.

Solutions:
Reduce the number of "open at X on Y days laws"
Disassociate Open hours from other laws
Put the dancer line of laws at an earlier point in the game (Late night all week for example)
Insert good idea here

 

[Smellfire]

Everyone seems to be cutting costs, keep overheads down etc. I never do that, except wages. Spend money to create money.

Only start menu stat I change is the clubs start with $45000 Club owners initial funds and 250 child maintenance rather than 750, because I want lots of kids! Everything else is default. Place is always open max hours.

With this simple finance change, you can have a pretty easy ride if you build everything as soon as it's available and staff it well and cheap. By end of Year 1 you're breaking even, end of year 2 you've left the other clubs so far behind they won't ever catch you. Just train your staff well and your fame will keep climbing, punters abound and life is easy....

Best tip is hire crap staff very cheap, train them very well (library book reading helps greatly) and give them pay rises regularly as your business grows, they will be happy bunnies and great fame creators. Expensive staff will kill you, NEVER hire them early doors, wait until you're suitably loaded financially.

Growing so big so quickly can be a pain hiring staff. The sim doesn't handle hirable population very well, and it's literally impossible early doors, it seems, to poach staff. Most have them have the new job effect or happy in their job. Also the hiring of college kids who aren't working, changing their opinion to like/love working doesn't seem to work, or you manage to change their opinion, won't interview with you then next minute work for someone else. Drives me nuts. Just hire any old tat at first, fire them when you find better or more fuckable, whatever, long as you train them pretty quick, fame hit isn't to bad.

 

[Alexander_J]

Great to see a fellow lover of having lots of virtual kids. Like you I set the child support payments to 300 (it's a nice number) but nothing else. And in my experience, starting with 20k in hand plays differently than with 45k. Chiefly because you go into debt much faster and you can run into more hiccups in hiring and accumulating fame. Which necessitates a different play style.

In fact my current game, I deliberately set my starting cash in hand to just 10k and yeah. It plays very differently and I enjoy the challenge.

My advice of cutting costs only applies when you are already in a deep hole. No one ever gets out of a hole by digging deeper. You stop digging and start working on adding more dirt until you get out. However, if you were never in the hole in the first place or it wasn't that deep then yeah you're correct.

Spend money to get more money. Build slowly and train everyone so that they grow as you grow. That's the ideal way.

Also the hiring of college kids who aren't working, changing their opinion to like/love working doesn't seem to work, or you manage to change their opinion, won't interview with you then next minute work for someone else. Drives me nuts.

There's probably hidden opinions that you're not addressing or you're not giving them enough attention, especially the sexual kind. I have had no trouble hiring unemployed college dropouts or college kids and paying them well below market rate. Of course I spend a few days 'prepping' their opinions so that they would even entertain the job request but nothing too hard. Just time consuming.

Poaching however never works or I have yet to crack the code on how to steal someone's staff away.

 

[Not YrBroom]

In one playthrough I got myself $150k in debt. I was able to get out of that hole but it took at least a year of game time. At $700k I would dump that save and count it as lessons learned for next time.
