Production Office. This will give you the choice of how much money to spend on
the advertising of each of your films. Once they have stopped earning your
studio money, you will be prompted to Archive them by dragging them into the
Archive room.
-Publicity Office
Cost: $44444
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1965/Respected Studio Head Achievement Award
If you're gunning to have the top studio, you may want to build around three or
four of these on your lot. The purpose of these buildings is to raise public
awareness of your stars or films. You can drop a star, script, or finished
movie into one of these to boost public awareness. If the star you drop in is
already in a film, half of the public awareness gained through doing PR will go
to the movie they are in. If they are not currently cast in the movie, they
will gain all of the awareness.
-Rehab
Cost: $22000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1928
If any of your stars have become too dependent on food or drink, building one
of these buildings on your lot will cure him. This is a time-consuming process
(it will take up one year) and it will be very boring for your star, but it has
the ability to restore up to one half of both of your star's addiction bars.
You can also drop a photographer near the rehabbing star for a news story and
publicity boost.
-Restaurant
Cost: $30000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1928-1940 (Intermediate Facilities Pack)
Capacity: 9
The more people you employ at your studio, the more restaurants you'll need.
Having restaurants will raise your Catering Rating, as well as give your stars
a place to de-stress and build relationships. Similar to the functions of the
Bar, dropping a star here will lower their stress but also lower their
resistance to food addiction. The two areas in the Restaurant are for the
levels of relationships your stars might have. The regular area is good for
Best Friends or Good Friends (if same sex), while the VIP area is better for
Soul Mates or Best Friends (if same sex).
-Restroom: Large
Cost: $12000
Attractiveness: -100
Available In: 1928-1936 (Functional Facilities Pack)
Capacity: 5
Having lots of bathrooms will boost your lot's Sanitation Rating. The only
downside is that all bathrooms will take a big chunk out of your Studio
Attractiveness. So it's a good idea to plant lots of plants around bathrooms to
spruce the area up. You will also need to consider where to place your
bathrooms. A Large Restroom far out of the way won't do your studio any good
since everybody will have to walk far to get to it.
-Restroom: Small
Cost: $3000
Attractiveness: -200
Available In: 1920
Capacity: 1
It might be a good idea to throw one of these in high-traffic areas of your
lot. They can only serve one person and have double the impact on your Studio
Attractiveness, so place at your own risk. Personally I really don't even
bother with them.
-Restroom: VIP
Cost: $20000
Attractiveness: -50
Available In: 1942-1950 (Quality Facilities Pack)
Capacity: 2
These are good if you place a few in one area. The Large Restrooms can serve
more than twice as many people, but also have twice the Studio Attractiveness
impact. The VIP Restrooms have the smallest attractiveness effect out of all
restrooms, which is a plus.
-Script Office: Basic
Cost: $6000
Attractiveness: -10
Available In: 1920
Right-clicking on any of your Script Offices will show the public's current
interests in movie genres. This will tell you what kind of movies to produce
(unless you want to produce any kind of film you want no matter how badly it
may fair). The Basic Script Office can only produce a one-star script that will
call for one lead role, one extra, and three or less crew. These scripts will
be written the fastest and are the cheapest to produce into a film.
-Script Office: Intermediate
Cost: $33000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1928-1931 (Starter Tech Pack)
The same as the Basic Script Office functionally, except that this office can
produce a two-star script calling for one or two lead roles, one extra, and
three crew members. Obviously, these scripts will take a little longer to
complete and will be more expensive.
-Script Office: Proficient
Cost: $33333
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: Promising Studio Manager Achievement Award
The same as the other two offices functionally, except that this office can
produce a three-star script calling for lead roles, two to three extra, and
three crew members. Again, these scripts will take longer to write and will
cost more to produce.
-Script Office: First Class
Cost: $66666
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: Highflying Moviemaker Award
I think you can guess what these function like. They produce four-star scripts,
which call for two to three lead roles, three to five extras, and three crew
members. And of course I think you know that these will take more time and more
money to make.
-Snack Van
Cost: $3000
Attractiveness: -10
Available In: 1920
Capacity: 1
These small vans only serve a small number of people, offer half the stress
relief, and cannot aid in the building of relationships. But they can still be
a little useful so it can't hurt to have them.
-Stage School
Cost: $5000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1920
Hopeful stars will line up outside this building. From here you can hire them
as stars, directors, or extras. There is also another room called Import Star.
Drop someone from the line into this room to turn them into any star you have
created with the StarMaker tool. I'll have more information on that and what
applicants are good applicants later on in this guide.
-Star & Script Selling Facility
Cost: $3000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1920
Another building that you don't really need, but it can be helpful. If you have
scripts or stars around that you don't want anymore, you can sell them to the
market. Keep in mind that newly hired stars or stars from rival studios will
not reach their highest market value until they've been with your studio for at
least eight years. Also, the amount you get for a script depends on its star
rating.
-Trailer: Rickety
Cost: $7000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1925 (Basic Facilities Pack)
-Trailer: Cheap
Cost: $24000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1928-1936 (Functional Facilities Pack)
-Trailer: Comfortable
Cost: $45000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1942-1950 (Quality Facilities Pack)
-Trailer: Plush
Cost: $75000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1955-1970 (Advanced Facilities Pack)
-Trailer: Palatial
Cost: $77777
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: Big Fish Achievement Award
All trailers are basically the same. The only difference is the size. The
bigger the trailer is the bigger the surrounding yard will be. Also, the bigger
the trailer is the more prestige it will have. The Trailer Prestige depends on
the size of the trailer itself and the amount and quality of ornaments in its
yard. A high Trailer Prestige will increase a star's status and mood.
Sets
----
Okay, now we get to the places where your movie's are shot. What you'll need to
keep in mind about sets is the Novelty value. This will determine how well-
received your sets are. Use a particular set too much and the audience will
tire of it, lowering its Novelty level. Each set has a different threshold for
this, so some may become boring quicker than others. If one of your set's
Novelty meter becomes low, try not to use it for awhile in order to refill the
meter.
Each set can also be used for practicing when it is not currently in use for a
movie. Right-clicking on a set will tell you what kind of genre experience an
actor can gain from practicing on the set.
