I lashed out money on a manufacturing factory in North America. Nothing happened during the first weeks so I simmed a good while without generating any income and the manufacturing plant did not manufacture anything. I've tried to test different regions, and when I build it in Asia there is activity and the plant is manufacturing for different artists. However, no income is generated no matter how long I've simmed afterwards. Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong? Otherwise totally love the game, but a bit of a pain that I don't seem to be able to generate income from manufacturing. PS. I also have some problems with distribution facility, but it seems like if I place the distribution plant in Africa, then there's both activity and I'm generating a fair amount of cash. In North America e.g. no activity and no income. Thanks in advance!

I'm new to this game but I'm really enjoying the gameplay. However, after numerous number #1's both worldwide and in certain continents, I'm yet to receive a nomination to an award show and my artists are not getting booked for festivals. Is this a bug or do I need to increase reputation for my label, artist or anything else?
