While we're on the subject of clip length, can you go into a little more detail about what causes clips to be extended? Is it just costumes and the girl's trait bonus? You said Dance and Pose aren't normally extended; are the other categories extended most of the time, or would it be better to just make 20 seconds the uniform clip length (for everything but finishes)?

Sure.

You have to

1) meet a minimum threshhold of happiness (which is trivial to make so just assume you always do)
2) You have to have an eligible work type (so Foreplay and up unless you have the Investment that unlocks extends for Dance/Pose)
3) The girl has to have the ability to have at least one finisher compatible with that act (body finisher works for all types) so if she's locked out of a finisher she may be locked out of extends
4) You have to have the policy unlocked for that finisher.

This is why I suggest making sure Body Finishers exist for every girl, just in case.

Very helpful, thank you!

Just one more question, I think. The maximum length for an extend is 15 seconds (making the maximum total length of the clip 35s), correct?

For a finisher.

For extends... it's a bit different. Let me get back to you on that.


The base time for a work is 20s, which can be increased to 35s by itself. Then extending adds another 20s to that. So a non-finisher video could go as long as an entire minute.

Wait, so "increasing" and "extending" are different things? That makes it even more confusing. Can Dance and Pose also be increased even if they can't be extended?

Increase/Decrease: This is the bonus you can get from Costumes. This can go as high as +75%. This applies to ALL work.

Extend: This is when you have a valid finisher and you hit Extend to increase the pre-finisher time. This only applies to work where a finisher is valid and exists.

Finisher: This is the extra time you get with the cumshot, etc.


Glad you're asking, I do want to make sure everything's clear.

So basically, Increase is something that happens automatically, and Extend is only when you press the button? If I never click Extend, then all my clips of any category (except finishes, which are always 15s) will be exactly the same length every time, right?

This actually works out just fine for the clips I've been making (other than my finishes being too long). The approach I've taken before now is "up to 35s, but if there's a part of the clip you definitely don't want to miss, make sure it's in the first 20s."

Yeah, just know Extend will cause it to loop.

My advice is a very simple "make dance/pose 35s, anything else longer, and if it loops because the player chose to make it longer, let them cook" and anything longer than 50 seconds is probably a waste.

So I did the leg-work...

What follows is the list for the "power" variable in the description.json file which predetermines the girl's trait. I also included the recommended backstage position. If you want to find this later just search the thread for "trait list".

BEWARE!!! ANY OTHER NUMBER WILL PRECLUDE THE GIRL FROM GETTING A TRAIT!!!

TRAIT LIST:

0	random after work/class (default)
1	Eager Student	(Trainer)
2_3	Solo Enthusiast	(Trainer) *
4_5	External Enthusiast	(Trainer) *
6_7	Fuck Enthusiast	(Trainer) *
8	Self-Promoter	(Advertiser)
9	Energetic
10	Over-Achiever
11	Hustle-Queen	(Accountant)
12	Advertiser	(Advertiser or Hostess)
13	Cousin of Gespote	(Secretary)
14	High Class Escort	(Secretary)
15	Shaker & Mover	(Secretary)
16	Booth-Bunny
17	Snob
18	Life-Coach	(Leader)
19	Hot teacher	(Leader or Trainer)
20	On-Floor Manager	(Leader or Hostess)
21	No Thought All Thot
22	Girl Next Door	(Advertiser or Hostess)
23	Working on PHD	(Any)
24	Your Assistant	(Any+++) **
25	---nothing?	# I Think this position might be the reason a brand new girl, sometimes, gets no trait after work/classes.
26	Attention Whore
27	Camgirl
28	Brat

* I assume the Enthusiast traits get two positions to make them more common?

**I haven't seen this assigned randomly in vanilla gameplay. I assume it's ignored by design, you don't want just any girl getting this right away.

I wish there was a way to dismiss an investor or at least turn off their special ability. For instance, I got Look But Don't Touch in my current game, but I've decided I don't like it anymore. My options as far as i can tell are just suck it up and deal with it, or start a whole new game.

Or at least click that you don't want an investor when the option comes up, like you would for the individual girls in scramble. There are a few investors that I always like to get, and its frustrating if they never show up because they're blocked by ones I don't like.

Oh, I just savespam for that. Still doesn't help if I pick an investor and decide I don't want them later, though.

I've played the game for quite a while now, and feel silly that I'd never even tried to use a Negotiator until recently. I hired a girl with the Brat personality, and had to figure out what to do. After I did, I realized that the Nagotiator was actually useful in other cases, where I had clients who wanted something higher end than any of the available girls working were willing to do. And so I was able to capture that money that I'd have lost otherwise.

Interestingly, sometimes when I do that, the girl will do some other, lower end act with the client instead though. Like using a toy instead of giving a blowjob. Is that coded in to work that way, based on their personality and level?

I save spam for the lottery. Sometimes because I just don't feel like using that particular girl, sometimes because I have plans to add a lot of my own content to a pack and haven't yet. I hadn't thought about it for the investors.

VC does not see Spa/Gym/Gloryhole videos, and to help retain each game's niche I have not made any in-roads into including TUSC-specific additions in VC.

Im curious about a possible workaround, obviously you have to tell the game where to grab videos for each performance so shouldnt there be a way for you to tell the game to also search for TUSC specific folders? Like if its looking for foreplay can you tell the game to look in performance/work/ foreplay and gym/foreplay and spa/foreplay? That way it ignores the gym or spa rooms since VC doesnt have them and just treats it as a normal foreplay video.

Let me give it a shot

Oh there's absolutely a way. It's not even a difficult thing to do, really--every so often I think about doing so, and think about how I would implement TUSC elements.

I'm choosing not to, out of respect for what TUSC is doing and its unique elements.

Im only meaning in the barest terms of making so that if someone downloads a TUSC pack they dont need to worry about moving any of the files around to see all of the videos. I was trying to do that for the TUSC torrent but its almost impossible to tell where things should go because if you just copy and paste it just vomits a bunch of loose files everywhere that still have to be sorted and moved into their actual subfolders. It was an absolute pain and something I really dont enjoy the thought of having to do. And since packs with TUSC content seem to be gaining a lot of popularity I only suggested that so that they would be somewhat compatible.

I have never used a torrent, but any TUSC girlpack that you download from a MEGA link will work in both games.
