Any tips to get 300k or more?

[JacktheRam]

I've been playing a bunch, and I even got a gaming mouse so I don't have to use my track pad, but I can't seem to break 250k fans on any runthroughs. I use my errand girl on constant coke with the shopping basket, as many overlapping fetishes as possible, and I buy as many promos as I can, though towards the end I can't afford them all. I hear some people are getting 500k or more, and I'm wondering what tips and strategies y'all have?

[L.C.L.]

There are not many people that cracked 500k yet, at least not in a legit fashion. : ) In fact, I only know of me and Scoota so far and we have very different approaches. Here are some pointers, though:

1) If you don't have 200k by the beginning of day 16, you are likely not going to hit 500k during that run
2) Clicking is way more effective than holding your mouse. Scoota has about 210k minutes skipped at the end of his 523k run, I have 120k minutes skipped on my 526k run
3) If your errand girl runs out of coke and the shop keeps trolling you, restart

Thanks for the tips! I didn't know that manual clicking was faster than click and hold. I tried that and got a new high score of 284k. Still not high enough, but that alone helped a ton!

If you want you can tell me your current strategy and I can offer some more tips for you.

Currently, I tend to work with Nikki and my Errand Girl, and then the following: Tiffany, Zoey, Leilani, Audrey, Lillian, Candace, Renee

I put a subscribe pillow and two fetish items on all my girls, except Lillian who gets a subscriber pillow, a nicotine patch, and a fetish item. Around day 16 I ditch the pillows and add a third fetish item.

Nikki gets the basket and cocaine- I don't usually give her weed bc I'm stocking up on cigs, booze, and items.

I buy all promos I can and focus on upgrading accounting and productivity above all. Though, in the beginning, I aim for staff, capacity, and web servers. I try to get 100 fans per day for the first 5 days or so, and 10k by day 10 is my usual with my current strategy.

Come to think of it, I should swap Renee for Lola since she can complete the Fit fetish trio and still be the second Ebony girl.

Alright, let me see...Your strategy seems to be a bit more compatible with Scoota's approach than with mine, so I'm not sure how helpful my advice is.

The thing I can definitely tell you is that nicotine patches/alcohol boxes are a bit of a waste of a slot.

I don't really understand why you don't want to give Nikki weed or what items you are stockpiling. Please elaborate.

I wonder when you start to buy promo's and upgrades for advertisement. The first few days they are pretty useless. I personally advice against expanding your business too soon when it comes to staff. 100 fans per day is pretty much nothing. I don't really know what your goal is scorewise but you want to hit the big 500k, you should have 100k around day 12-13 and 200k around day 15.

Also: The whole myth about there being a perfect combination of girl is absolute rubbish for one simple reason: Promo's. In the end promo's will decide what fetish is popular no matter how hard you try to push your chosen fetish. In my 526k run I had 3 tattoo girls and from mid game on Aiko made twice the money they did even though she never saw the inside of the photo studio and had her style at 2. Also: Don't rush towards 8 girls before you can handle the cost or even know what's going to be popular.

Here is the things you should actually consider when chosing your girls:
1) How many fans do they already have (try to account for how many fans you can add by giving them a fetish item.
2) How much style/talent they have. This is important depending on your stage in the game and what you want the girl to do. For errand girl/s 1/1 is fine, but think about how much time training will take if you get a 1/1 girl on day 15.
3) Cigarette/Alcohol consumption. This boils down to preference. Keep in mind that the more they smoke and drink the more they can actually do before going to the spa and doing nothing.

My personal favourite starting girl is Nadia. The first thing I usually do is send my chosen starter right back into the model agency and fetch her. Get Nadia up to 80-100 fans and then start making some money to unlock items (this will give you free coke which can go right to your errand girl/starter) then skip all the tutorials. The great thing about Nadia is that with a little luck you can get either Nora or Lilian soon and both start with a style of 5 and 4 which can really help to drag in the fans so Nadia's income will steadingly increase.

Decisions you have to make for yourself:
- How many errand girls do you want? Having 3-4 means you have more access to usable items, which include coke and condoms, but also fetish items once the promo's take over and your chosen fetish items become overshadowed by promoted ones. Personally I do like to use fashion magazines/shoes in combination with coke to minimize the training time, too.
- How many fetish items do you want and when do you want to start using them? Personally I don't use them in the beginning. Sure it gives you 25% extra fans when photoshooting but until the photo studio is upgraded that doesn't seem like a lot. Coke gives you 100% extra fans within the same time that a girl with a fetish item only gets those 25%. The piggy bank halfs your cost, which enables you to upgrade earlier without having to spend half your day trying to work off your midnight depth. The downside is however that you will need more errand girls to keep providing it.
- When to upgrade what. If you want to use dedicated camgirls/models, automation is more important, if you go for sub pillows accounting+punctuality is the way. Think about how much costs an additional girl brings in before going for capacity + staffing. I tend to get number 7 + 8 pretty late and I never get a girl before I have the right items for her (for example to train her or to use her as an errand).

Hope that helps : )

Thanks for the info! I'm about to start a new round, and I'll let you know how it goes with all this in mind. :) I really appreciate the detailed advice!

UPDATE: I broke 300k! I hit 322k; I could have probably gotten more, but on days 12-16 there was NO coke in the shop, it was ridiculous.

you are welcome and good luck ^ ^. Yeah I also think days 12-16 can be pretty crucial. The last days are usually a cake walk where all I do is ruin my hands by spamming the photo studio.

By the way, I credited you in the guide I wrote! The tips/strategies section still needs to be fleshed out as I improve my score, lol. Probably could have done better if it weren't for RNG issues AND I had Lillian, Audrey, and Jessie... that was hectic hell. Not my best idea. XD
