little special section. You can turn any of your existing stars (or hopeful
ones) into directors. You can make them rehearse on any of your vacant sets to
gain experience in shooting that particular genre. Plus if you're low on actors
you can put them in one of the roles and see how they fair.
Directors can be hired by dragging an applicant into the Create Director room
of your Stage School. They also gain experience in genre with each movie that
they direct.
Stars
-----
Stars are probably the most difficult staff to manage. You have to keep them
happy in order for you to make money. The moods of your other staff don't
matter at all. Every one of your movies will require two stars: a director and
lead actor. If your scriptwriters can churn out higher quality scripts, they
may call for one lead actor and two supporting actors, bringing the needed star
count up to four.
Stars make up a large part of your Studio Rating. The higher your star is rated
the greater their contribution to your Studio Rating. They also impact the
success of your movies depending on their performance. Their performance
depends on their mood, experience, and whether or not they are suitable to the
genre of the current project. The relationships between your stars also add to
the quality of your film. High-rated stars make your movies successful, which
in turn boosts your Studio Rating and makes you money. But keep in mind that
the more high-rated stars you put into one of your movies, the more expensive
it will be to make.
In order to keep your stars happy you have to make sure they have an acceptable
salary, trailer, and workload. But keep in mind that paying one star too much
or giving them too big a trailer can make your other stars jealous. In order to
keep your stars content you'll have to juggle a lot of different tasks.
If you don't give your star anything to do and they spend their time wandering
around your lot, they'll get bored. To counteract this put them into your
movies or, if all roles are filled or the movie has already begun filming and
it's too late, drop them onto any unused set so they can practice and hone
their skills.
Work them too hard, though, and they'll become stressed. To alleviate this put
them into restaurants or bars. But watch out, if they spend too much time in
here they may become dependant on food or drink, forming an addiction. If they
get addicted you'll have to build yourself a rehab clinic and have them do a
stint there until they can get clean.
As your stars become more experienced and move up the stars charts, they'll
begin to demand more money and bigger trailers. When doing your finances try to
give them small raises so that you don't upset your other stars.
When hiring stars, make sure you pay attention to their personality features.
You're not going to want someone who gets stressed out easily. You also may be
wary of hiring people who are easily addicted to food or drink. If you don't
like the personality of one of the applicants in your Stage School line, you
can drop them into the Reject room to have their spot replaced.
Sometimes stars from rival studios will appear on your lot and take a place in
your Stage School line. You can hire these stars to gain a quick boost to your
Studio Rating. They will have all of the experience, age, mood, and rating that
they've received from their original studio, and will expect to have a large
salary and trailer ready for them if you hire them. Keep in mind the same
tactics you use to weed out the unsatisfactory would-be stars in your line.
Rival studio stars can have all of the negative personality traits that would-
be stars have. Plus they come to your studio with usually a good portion of
their career behind them, meaning that they might be halfway to retirement when
you hire them.
Retirement is something all of your stars will have to face sometime. When that
day comes they will simply walk off your lot and disappear from your Star
Cards.
On the other hand, if you have a Star & Script Selling Facility you can perhaps
make a profit off one of your stars. Simply drop a star or finished script into
this building and they will be auctioned off to an amount based on their
rating.
Stars can be hired by dragging an applicant into the Create Star room of your
Stage School. They also gain experience in genre with each movie that they
perform in.

VI. BUILDINGS AND ORNAMENTS
===============================================================================
All of the buildings and decorations you add to your studio are all important.
Each one of them affects your Studio Attractiveness. But just how much they
affect the rating depends on the type of building/ornament they are. This means
that a set and a facility with the same rating may not have the same affect on
your attractiveness.
When you first start your game you'll have a limited amount of these objects to
place around your studio. As time goes by you'll gain more, through a number of
ways. One way is by the Research Packs. You can wait for the items within these
packs to become widely available, or you can have your scientists work away
until they unlock them earlier than every other studio.
You can also gain facilities or sets by receiving one of the nine Achievement
Awards during the ceremonies every five years. I'll have more on this later.
Another form of award that gives you special items is the Lifetime Achievement
Award. There are three of these, and you can win one depending on your studio's
performance over its lifetime (1920-2005). You can get a Lifetime Achievement
Award for running a studio into 2005, winning all nine of the Achievement
Awards by 2005, or winning all nine of the Achievement Awards and winning each
reward ceremony more than once.
Most sets and buildings cannot be built once you are in debt, but there are a
few important facilities that can. They are the Basic Script Office, Casting
Office, Crew Facility, Production Office, Stage School, Stage Set, and the Star
and Script Selling Facility. Another thing to consider is how many of each
facility to build. Some will not allow you to have more than one, but many of
them will allow it, which can benefit your studio's productiveness. Facilities
that can only be built one are the Basic Script Office, Crew Facility, First
Class Script Office, Intermediate Script Office, Laboratory, Production Office,
Proficient Script Office, and Stage School.
Facilities
----------
First off, we have the facilities. These buildings take care of your studio's
business. Some will benefit your studio just by being there while others have
separate rooms that you can interact with (by dropping things into them).
Right-clicking on facilities will give you important information on them.
The following list contains the price, attractiveness (how much each facility
will decrease your Studio Attractiveness) and the years the facility becomes
available (if there are two years, the first one is when your scientist can
begin researching it and the second one is when it automatically becomes
unlocked).
-Bar
Cost: $8000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1925 (Basic Facility Pack)
Bars are very useful for calming a star's nerves. If he or she is stressed out,
put them in a bar to ease their nerves. Be careful, though, because spending
too much time in a bar can make your star addicted to drink. You can also put
two stars together in a bar to talk and build a relationship. The two sections
of the bar are specifically for relationship-building. The normal seating area
is good for stars who have just recently become friends. The VIP section is
better suited for those who are very close friends. But don't put two
acquaintances into the VIP section, an environment too advanced for their
relationship won't help them become any better friends.
-Casting Office
Cost: $5000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1920
This building is used to fill the roles of your movies. As soon as you put a
script into the Begin Casting room all of the extras and crew needed are
automatically filled in (assuming you have the number called for). Then it is
up to you to assign the director, lead, and supporting roles (by dropping them
into the appropriate rooms). Once you have assembled your entire cast, you can
drag the script into the Shoot It room to start filming.
-Cosmetic Surgery
Cost: $60000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1942-1950 (Quality Facilities Pack)
1955-1970 (Advanced Facilities Pack - Implants)
1964-1980 (Ultimate Facilities Pack - Liposuction)
This building can increase your stars' physical appearance. Dropping a star
into the Nip & Tuck room increases their Look value. Once you have the Implant
room available, dropping a star into there increases their Chest Size. And once
the Liposuction room is available to you, dropping a star in there increases
their Trimness. Both the Chest Size and Trimness combine to make up a star's
Physique Rating.
-Crew Facility
Cost: $4000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1920
This is where you'll be able to hire and fire crew members. Applicants lined up
outside your crew facility will start off with a little bit of crew experience,
as opposed to the zero crew experience people from other lines on your studio
will have.
-Custom Script Writing Office
Cost: $11111
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1960/Wannabe Big Cheese Achievement Award
You don't need this to run a studio, but it sure can make it a lot more fun.
Using the Advanced Movie Maker in this building you can write your own scripts,
although you'll only be able to write one equal to the quality of those churned
out by your writers in their own script offices. I'll have a section on how to
create your own scripts later on.
-Laboratory
Cost: $24000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1928
Laboratories are not mandatory, but useful if you want to get a head start on
the technology of the time. Hiring scientists and having them work on research
packs will get you those items before the unlock dates comes around. This means
that you will get all of those tools before any other studio. Inside the lab
are four rooms for different aspects of technology. The Cult Packs room, which
deals with research for horror and sci-fi films, the Mainstream Packs, which
deals with research for action, romance, and comedy films, Stars & Studio,
which deals with research for new costumes and facilities, and Movie-Making,
which deals with research for boosting your movie's success.
-Makeover Department
Cost: $7000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1920
Clothing styles change with the times, and your stars' Image rating may go down
and they may become displeased because of this. When this happens it's time for
a makeover. Inside this building are two rooms. Automatic will give your star a
fashion rating increasing makeover but take up game time and cause stress.
Manual gives you the ability to do this yourself, but without the time
consumption and stress involved. You can also change a star's name in the
Manual room.
-Post Production
Cost: $39000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1928-1932 (Starter Tech Pack)
Another building that you don't really need at all but can be fun to have. With
this building you can add lots of effects and elements to your films after they
have been shot, but none of the work you add will affect the rating. I'll have
more on techniques for this later on.
-Production Office
Cost: $6000
Attractiveness: -20
Available In: 1920
Here's a building that you absolutely cannot function without. It can give you
information on your lot when you right-click on it by telling you the number of
employees and the number of staff you have (employees include both staff
members and stars). This will help you in learning if you are reaching the
needs of your staff's dining, ornamentation, and sanitation levels.
There is also an Information Icon inside the production office that will give
you information. Right-clicking on it will inform you of you rating in all Lot
Prestige categories. Drag and drop the icon into the Finance room to be taken
to the same screen you would be if you clicked your funds at any time in the
game. Drop the icon into the Reviews room to view critics' reviews of your
studio. You can also drop it into the Movie Player room to view any of your
studio's archived movies.
If you have a Publicity Office you will also be given a release budget in the
