[My artist disappeared]

On two different save files, when i load up my save file one of my artists is no longer there. They're not anywhere in the game. 

I assume Mark could use your save to test it whenever he comes back, I'd recommend you to post it here with as much info as you can (which artist was it? did you use a custom database? did you do anything out of normal before they disappeared? do you have an error log?)

[Can’t use added producers in game]

The same is true for features, don't expect the big names to agree for a collab with a 10-rep artist.

Hi, I can create a photo database for your mod. Just send me the names! KareemOlivia#8587

I think they are all in here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13KjZwvmEJKl6s4laNOmmO7Xc3amfIEuY4zbxNj17DrU/edit?usp=sharing

Note that part of them already have a photo in the "Photo" folder when you download the mod, just so you don't waste time on those.

Hi, Sorry I didn't get to you after 3 week but tbh I don't even know what a game map and a game files ls LMAO....if you could assist me a little bit more on how to do it that would be great!

I'm pretty sure by map he meant folder. You have to go to the game folder, most probably under the "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folder (alternatively, you can right-click on the game on the desktop and click on Open File Location) and then to Game Files, and move or copy-paste the mod file there. Once you do that you will find it by clicking on the "Locate" button next to "Custom Database" in the settings when creating a new game.

[Puerto Rico]

When adding a new artist to a database and setting the birth country, Puerto Rico doesn't work, it appears only as "Puerto" and shows no flag or cities.

That's actually the same than (32) just changing the order, it seems it is a much needed band type 😜

Same here, thanks for your work, Mark!

I actually have yet another request:

   (32) 2x Singer 1x Guitarist 1x Bassist 1x Drummer 1x Keyboards

 

[Uruguay in the editor]

It seems Uruguay is missing under South America in the editor (and hence every artist has 1 rep there in-game).

[Lyrics quality in song type]

It would be great to see the lyrical quality of a song at the point when you choose if it is a regular song, a collab or a remix while making an album, to avoid having to memorize the titles of the higher quality songs to make them collabs (which btw reduces the potential to improve the quality of the song via producer-studio quality)

[AI Video Releases]

In one of my games the AI video releases stopped working again. You can check that none of my artists who released a single in the previous week has recorded a video for them. It stopped working the same week I released a general video through the singles screen, I don't know if that's related.

[Unrealistic Album Charting]

Well, that's pretty much what Max Martin-produced albums do in real life, isn't it? 😜

[End of Year Report]

In my games I have the same problem starting in 2021. I am not in my gaming laptop now but I can attach the saved game later today.

[Genres]

Also, now that I was checking the database French Montana was born in Morocco instead of Algeria.

[Genres]

There are a few apparently wrong genres in the real database, or some that may be inaccurate:

• Belinda: African Hip-Hop -> Latin Pop
• Hilary Duff: Teen Pop -> Pop (?)
• Labrinth: Hip-Hop -> R&B (?)
• Meghan Trainor: African Hip-Hop -> Pop
• Nick Jonas: African Hip-Hop -> Pop (?)
• Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson: Teen Pop -> Pop (?)
• Anitta: African Hip-Hop -> Latin Pop
• Pitbull: African Hip-Hop -> Latin Rap
• Post Malone: Hip-Hop -> Pop (?)
• John Mayer: Soul -> Pop Rock (?)
• Dua Lipa: African Hip-Hop -> Pop
• 21 Savage: African Hip-Hop -> Hip-Hop
• Lewis Capaldi: Folk -> Soul (?)
• Sheryl Crow: Country -> Rock (?)
• Metallica (and members): Rock -> Metal (?)
• Coldplay (and members): Indie -> Pop Rock
• Green Day (and members): Rock -> Punk (?)
• BTS (and members): JPop -> K-pop
• Miss A (and members): C-Pop -> K-pop

The ones with (?) are unclear for me, or just proposals that could be considered as both.

[Bands in Game Editor]

Also the "Increase all by" comes very handy, it's hard to leave the moving bar exactly where you want.

Also if some countries dont add streaming at this point I wont be customising their certifications, it will get too bespoke.

No, I didn't mean customise them to not count streaming but tweak the numbers for certifications raising them to give a better picture of how it would actually work (e.g. if in reality it is 10,000 units without streaming and streaming is about 75% of units in the game you can set it in 40,000 units in the game to give a better approximation)

[Duets album]

It would be an interesting feature to be able to release greatest hits albums but re-recording the artist's solo songs as duets.

In what way do you mean? Do you mean having an artist features on a song?

I think collaborative album like Elton John & Pnau's 'Good Morning to the Night', Lou Reed & Metallica's 'Lulu' or Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett's 'Cheek to Cheek', albums made entirely by two different artists working together.

Why would it break stuff? I can have a solo bassist or solo pianist in game currently so why won't a band work?

Actually I think you can't, even if you add them in the database they won't appear in the list of solo artists.

[More band types]

I imagine it's related to the fact that instrumentalists cannot have solo careers in the game (which by the way is a problem for artists like Santana, Slash or Johnny Marr in mods).

[Certifications in Switzerland]

In a quick search even forgetting about the streaming some of the numbers are already off, Norway actually has set 30,000 for Gold and 60,000 for Platinum (in singles) while in-game it is 5,000 for Gold and for 10,000 Platinum.
