I think it would be cool if there Is an option to make different types of audio formats (cds, vinyl, downloads and streaming) time locked. So streaming sales won't be available until 2005 but it won't peak until the late 2010s. Streaming would rise starting early 2010s while digital downloads would be at it peak. It could also affect the industry sales and stuff. For example, in the late early 2000s CDS dominated and when you compared it to earlier years unit wise it is lower. Despite the units being low, the industry peaked revenue wise. The top selling album numbers could be similar within one another, but have anomalies. (Like Adele) Also, I'm not sure if the game charts are weighted by numbers sales but it would be cool if it's weighted different in different times (like 20% downloads, 40% streaming, 40% radio) I know it's a lot to add especially when you integrate it with trends and etc but it's just a suggestion. Thanks for constantly updating the game, Mark!!!

Perhaps for something like depression, it could just be brought on if their happiness stats get below 25. Addictions could be based on the rebellion stats and happiness stats. For example, if happiness is below 50 and rebellion above 50 the the artist starts an addiction. As for death/suicide. Older artists should die rather than retire (in my opinion) as its something that happens to everyone and we shouldn't shy away from it 🙂 As for suicide, this could maybe happen when your artist has had 0 happiness for x number of months. In all instances there should be an option to help the artist. For example, a rehab facility, therapy/therapist, time away from career to relax. There could even be some events that occur that cause the record label to react. A new stat could even be introduced to the artist section called "Stress" this would be different to happiness and would show how overworked an artist is. This may increase and get worse if your artist has been on tour after tour after tour all year as well as being in the studio and filming music videos. This new stat would affect the other stats if it gets to a certain level. **Just another feature I think would be cool: If an artist is addicted to something (more particularly smoking anything), it would be cool if this decreased their singing live and studio stats over time. I understand some people won't want to play with these game features, but I'm sure other will. So maybe it would be an option to add a "tick box" to the game creation window to enable or disable these features.

Good ideas. To be honest with you I dont like how Touring is it does need a rework.

How about making Perfumes, Hoodies, Shirts etc. but with more details. Title of the Perfume....... Cost of the Perfume...... Date of Creation Total sales, Stock remaining If you look at Melanie Martinez’s Crybaby Perfume You would see that Atlantic Records doesn’t refill the stock. (Not me complaining about it) But also like Limited Edition CD’s or Merch in general.

I can't wait for the whole new group part feature. What would be great is if one of the band members aren't enjoying being in a band and come forward to request a solo deal from you. Also for the likes of a member leaving. You can recruit for find another member to join that band. i.e the sugababes. They had more new members than SCS sale. If that does happen then it could make the news like a new band member as started etc. 🙂

Not sure if this has been considered or suggested but I think remixes should be able to be made for songs that have already been released. I know that there's already remixes in the game but it doesn't really make sense that they're made during the recording process as they're own song, rather than an 'addition' to an already recorded song, if that makes sense. Putting out remixes for singles or even album tracks is common practice in the industry now so I think it'd be cool to see it in the game.

When producing an album, I think you should create a page to give us the option to choose an album type we want the artist to release like either EP, Studio Album, Double Disc album, Greatest hits, Remix album, Video DVD, live album, Reissue Album, and tour DVD. Under each album type it is to have information for what it is required to release that type of album. For example if I wanted to release and EP, what is required is maybe 4 - 6 songs, or either a double Disc maybe 1-17 songs under 'Disc 1' and 'Disc 2'. This can be pretty much an easier way to create albums if this option can be added in.
