Also some of the medium-to-small European countries probably need to tweak the numbers for certifications, it is too easy to get tons of certifications in countries like Slovakia, Croatia or Norway (I think you put the actual numbers for certifications but didn't take into account that in real life they don't use streaming when counting sales, which in the game add up to ~75% of sales; as a consequence artists are getting ~4 times the certifications they should).

The number of sales needed for single certification in Switzerland are set on 20,000 for Platinum and 15,000 for Diamond. According to Google there seems to be no Diamond certs in Switzerland in real life so one has to make up the numbers, but it should definitely be more than for Platinum (my guess is it was intended to be 150,000 but is missing a zero). For albums it looks fine: 30,000 for Platinum and 250,000 for Diamond.

There are also a few more issues: African Music Awards: "Africa Artist of the Year" appears 3 times MTV Asia Awards: "Best Asian Video" 3 times MTV Europe Awards: "Europe Best Female" 2 times Los Premios MTV Latinoamérica: "Latin Best Video" 2 times The Grammys: "Best Album Any" 2 times

When an album track from a sountrack album enters the charts it appears under Various Artists while the song itself is by a single artist (I know the album is a Various Artists one, but I don't think the songs should). I don't know if that's intended, or if it actually works like that in the charts (I haven't seen many songs from that kind of albums in the charts in real life), but it looks weird.

You can always have some other things equivalent to suicide for game purposes, like making an artist quit the music industry for good if they have too much unhappiness/stress. Older artists dying from old age may be something natural to add, though (in real life they rarely just retire from music, they just release much less new stuff and their new stuff is far less popular).

If you need a test save this same issue happened for me too, let me know if you want it.

I had a similar issue and manually deleting the whole folder in Program Files and installing again worked for me (make sure to save a backup copy of your saved games and custom databases anywhere else before you do if you try, though, they are stored in that folder).

I have this issue in all my games too, after a few months it stops producing videos.

Seems it may be ticket revenue (assuming the ticket price is 100) instead of number of tickets sold, I don't know if intended or not

When I set the reputation of a band, whenever I click on a continent the reputation in all the countries in that continent automatically moves to 35 no matter what it was before (possibly because it's the reputation of the first band I added). I don't know if it's a general issue, let me know if you want the database file.

When an artist doesn't have the "Can Produce" active the stats of "Production Melodies" and "Production Commercial" should be locked at 1 or 0 the same way "Production Ability" does. Because of that there is a bunch of artists in the real database with a high level on those when they cannot produce, but if they take a production course they instantly become great producers.

Not a big issue but it would be great if once you establish your own manufacturing/distribution facilities they become the default choice when letting your marketing team choose while releasing an album/EP/single.

"Brits Best Male Solo" is also in the Teen Choice Awards Also a lot of "Oceania Album" in MTV Asia Awards, MTV Europe Awards and Los Premios MTV Latinoamérica (it seems the MTV has a thing for Oceanian albums ;)). Furthermore, "Africa Artist of Year" appears 3 times in the African Music Awards, "Best Asian Video" is 3 times in the MTV Asia Awards, "Europe Best Female" 2 times in the MTV Europe Awards, "Latin Best Video" 3 times in Los Premios MTV Latinoamérica and "Best Album Any" twice in the Grammys. In a different note ethnicity doesn't seem to work for band awards, I've seen all-white bands winning Mobo and BET awards.

It would be great to be able to set hiatus to bands in the editor, especially for retro mods where some bands may actually form (or reunite) some years after the expected beginning.

It would be great to be able to choose several options on each category for award elements. For example to be able to set Best R&B/Pop Single, Best French/Belgian Act, Best South America/Mexico/Spain Single... Also it could be interesting to set awards by language, so one can maybe add the Latin Grammys with Best Single in Spanish and Best Single in Portuguese (more properly best single by an artist who speaks Spanish, but that's better than nothing).

In the Award Elements in the real database there are a few issues: Performance USA seems to be bugged, it takes the settings of the previous selected element Performance UK is continent specific to Europe but not country specific to the UK Best New Band and Best New Solo have their Award Type swapped. Also in Country Best New Solo American Artist of the Year is not continent or country specific Favourite Pop Female appears as album based, opposite to Favourite Pop Male African Performance appears as album based, and so does Asian Performance and Asia Performance (should be merged?) Best Asian Male is continent specific to Africa instead of Asia Best Latin Pop actually works as Latin Best Latin Pop, I don't know if it is intended to exclude for example Latin Pop artists from Spain Oceania Song should be single based C-Pop Band should be a Best Band award instead of just Award

There are a few award elements which seem misplaced in the real database: African Performance in the MTV Asia Awards Best Asian JPop in the MTV Europe Awards Europe Performance in Los Premios MTV Latinoamérica Latin Performance (x2) in the APRA Music Awards Oceania Song in the Golden Melody Awards BET Album of year in the Mobo Awards

It is actually a bug, the problem is not that there are no Portuguese venues in the database but that Portugal doesn't work in the database. There are half a dozen Portuguese venues though.

I'd say apart from a handful of them which are actually misplaced the problem is that some countries are bugged and either show the same country that was clicked before or the first country in the continent alphabetically (at least Syria, Qatar, Colombia, Portugal, North Macedonia and Serbia are bugged)

I'm checking the venues to see if I spot some clear misplaces (I'm not checking them all so I might skip some wrong venues). I've found: Abbasiyyin Stadium: Afghanistan -> Syria Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium: Afghanistan -> Qatar Al Hamadaniah Stadium: Japan -> Syria Al-Ahli Stadium: Turkey -> Qatar Al-Assad Stadium: Saudi Arabia -> Syria Aleppo Int Stadium: Saudi Arabia -> Syria Al-Gharafa Stadium: Afghanistan -> Qatar Al-Khawr Stadium: Afghanistan -> Qatar Al-Sadaqua Walsalam: Yemen -> Kuwait Al-Wakrah Stadium: Yemen -> Qatar (now called Al-Janoub Stadium) Arctic Fox Centre: Sweden -> Iceland Arena Nord: Sweden -> Denmark Arena Syd: Sweden -> Denmark Beeline Arena: Burma -> Cambodia Belgrade Arena: Belgium -> Serbia Biljanini Izvori: Bosnia and Herzegovina -> North Macedonia Bogota Arena: Argentina -> Colombia Boris Trajkovski Sports Center: Albania -> North Macedonia Čair Sports Center: Albania -> Serbia Cali Arena: Argentina -> Colombia Coliseu do Porto: Albania -> Portugal Coliseu dos Recreios: Albania -> Portugal Emirates Stadium: United States -> United Kingdom Estádio Alvalade XXI: -> Portugal Estádio da Luz: -> Portugal Estádio do Dragão: -> Portugal Estádio do Restelo: -> Portugal Estádio Nacional: -> Portugal Etihad Stadium: Australia -> United Kingdom Some of them are bugged and always have the country of the venue I clicked before. Also the flags are a mess, half of them don't correspond to the country. I'll continue later with the check.

Checking the database I've found that there are actually Portuguese venues, but they have the wrong country. Estádio da Luz and Estádio do Dragão are under France and Estádio Alvalade XXI and Estádio Nacional are under Albania.
