To avoid the game crashing from racing, just don't do multiple races in a row. Money is honestly not an issue since activities still don't consume time properly. Doing them has no time cost, even though they should.
Random stuff that isn't well communicated:
- You need to eat every 3 days
- Using the "Order food" option costs 300 (double groceries)
- There is a quest from talking to the girl. I have no idea what the requirement is for this, but I suspect a low-ish amount of Bond.
- Bond caps at 100.
- You can't get the ability to raise Creativity, Charm, or Exhibition for a loooooong time. Don't buy books/skills that require them.
Sex stuff:
- Use the speed slider to double the rate that the girl gains pleasure (it turns purple)
- Different positions cost different health per tick and generate pleasure at different rates
- There are perks to unlock by doing the same positions that make gaining more levels way easier
- Positions gain +1 level per orgasm (leveling blowjob is terrible,) there is nowhere to track this information
- Lewd Mags require 50 Bond. Lust doesn't seem to have a function currently since you can't spend ERW.
- There are 5 positions from Red DVDs, and 4 from Blue DVDs.
- ERW cap can only be raised by +12 per session, but you want to level them, so just keep going.
- The most effective way to raise ERW cap early on is with Fingering since it consumes the least body per tick (1 her, 2 you)
Mini game stuff:
- The difficulty of gigs you receive scales with activity. If you stop doing them, only weak/amateur stuff shows up. This is kind of annoying as money becomes useless by like month 3.
Racing:
- Buying a new car removes ALL of your upgrades. All it does is change the color/shape.
- When you replace a component, the old one is destroyed.
- Prioritize getting an epic Engine (Thorn-37) and a Stabilizer (Wing.)
- The Astral-L booster is not good, duration is useless with good top speed, you want the G Burst.
- Upgrading your car will allow you to complete "Legend" races with ease for $6500+ per race, but they are very rare.
Combat:
- Exercising for Strength barely raises your damage, just use a gun ASAP.
- After you buy a gun, switch to it using the mouse wheel. Aim seems to be gained randomly.
- The timing on enemy attacks depends on their weapon: Pipes ~2 seconds, bats ~1 second, swords press instantly.
- Blocking early reduces damage taken by 1/3
- Only use your melee weapon if you want to avoid taking any damage (advisable against swords, specifically.)
I've reached a point where I'm just plowing through days boosting stats with no need for money and it's super grindy. I think my save might be broken as no events have triggered in quite a long time.
I have also still not found how to raise Charm or Exhibition and I've been playing for literal hours. I only unlocked Creativity recently, as well.
