I can't confirm this obersavtion.

Sadly it's broken for me even with a new savefile. Only Openness and Popularity increase, Energy decreases.
Edit: Oh! It's only a visual bug in the Booth! Staff Screen shows the correct values!

So, I can explain this behavior. Whenever a girl goes through a 'tick' in the booth there's a chance they'll gain some small amount of relevant skill. It's expected behavior that a girl won't gain from some clients at all, whereas they'll be ahead of the curve with others. As well, skills are decimal point values but it reports it as whole integers, so you might not see small incremental gains.

Find me a host that doesn't make me want to gouge out my eyeballs trying to fight with a bazillion stupid popups and attempts to trick me into downloading trojan horses and I'd consider using it.
Well it was slowly ticking upwards before, now it's different. But it's fine, it works, the girls get better over time. Everything is fine!
Thx for the in-depth explanation!
I think I've run into this issue as well. I started a new game and portraits worked fine. I saved the game and restarted a couple of times over the course of the game, and that all worked fine. I added a new girlpack that wasn't in the game when I started, and now the portraits aren't showing when I load a game.
Not sure if that's the only way to break the portraits but that's how I did it.
Nice suggestion. I tried that, but I'd since started another game so I could use that girlpack. And guess what? Now she works in the previous game too.
So that could be a workaround. Save your game, start a new one, play a day or two, then go back to the previous game.
And for what it's worth, adding the brokers definitely gave the game a new dimension it didn't have previously. I think it's a great addition to the game.

I can already confirm that won't do anything, because nothing in the 'repair' method actually affects portraits.
What I think is really happening is that there's a discreprency in the list of girls that exist and the list of girls recruited (for some reason the references are pointing to two different girls) and so it tries to show the portrait but gets confused as to which 'version' to show so just doesn't bother trying any more. This is why it shows with a white field rather than the default sillouette.

Not to change the subject, lol, but any status on the "Scramble" mode? Looking forward to giving that a go to kind of "change up" the game. Keep up the good work, btw, we all have your back in this.

Which is a shame, since it makes testing portraits a little harder. At least repairs seems to find new lessons.

Yeah, cause what's happening is an entire method is errors out, not just the portrait. This is why nothing at all loads. The problem is that method error might have nothing at all to do with portraits! Or it might! Pain in the ass to discover this was even the problem at all (which is why The Brokers took longer than intended.)
I'm currently figuring out a different implementation. There's something else I'm currently drafting up that has priority, but it's all stuff that's designed to work with Scramble Mode in mind. (This is why the Brokers can give you a random girl, not just a lottery girl, for example)

They are for checking that your girlpacks are correct. If you aren't running Python, you will have to get that installed and running. After you have Python good to go, you can change the hardcoded values to point to the location of your girlpacks, and then execute the script.

Heads up, the tutorial decided to just stop working for me on my newest build, so I have it temporarily disabled in the next build. I have a VERY good reason for wanting to push forward on my next build though.
-----------
For Everyone: In terms of a minor balance change in the works, the Dance Enthusiast and Pose Enthusiast traits are being combined into one trait, Solo Enthusiast, which gives the benefits of both. There's also going to be a buff to broker rewards, to make a new recruit more impactful.
-----------
For girlpack creators and JSON customizers: minor change that won't actually matter too much in the game as you're playing it now but will for a future content, is the specialty trait.
Currently, a girl can have set one of six skills as a specialist skill. If you look at the JSONs for the Original Girls, you'll see an entry for it called 'specialty'. It currently doesn't really do anything. However, I plan on utilizing it. What it will eventually do is give the girl a benefit to that skill.
The idea behind this is, if you have a girl who you want to be good at a specific skill, or have potential in it, you can 'force' the issue by making that her signature skill to get benefits.
Girls who do NOT have this flag set, however, are not losing out. What happens is when they are created from their files, a random signature will be given to them, this way if you don't want to bother with setting this, you don't have to.

I am currently testing the build. I am going to be checking it for balance, then uploading it. No previews.
This one is going to be a surprise.

HOW TO PRESET SPECIALTY IN JSON:
Just make sure you have an entry called 'specialty'
and a string that is one of the following:
"DANCE"
"POSE"
"FOREPLAY"
"ORAL"
"SEX"
"GROUP"
If you leave it absent the system will simply assign its own value, so there is no need to include it if you don't want. But, if you want to ensure a certain girl is always REDACTED in REDACTED, this is a way to do so. The original basic girls have the entry but their specialties for DANCE and POSE are spelled wrong--the system will read it and randomize for them.
