Improving their morale by things like bonuses, time off, and compliments during post event speeches can help.

Worker Pictures Not Showing Up

 

So I have two different databases, one in 2001 & one in 2018. In my 2001 save, worker pictures show up just fine but in my 2018 mod nearly half, if not more, are just blank. Both databases use the same picture folder & I even imported the 'Agers' section of the database over to 2018 and still nothing. I've noticed that the picture pack I have has the underscores, but if it uses the same database as my 2001 mod doesn't that just mean it should use the other pictures I have? I'm so confused.

 

Also, I use TheWho's mods for both databases. Not sure if that helps anything lol. Thanks in advance for the help.

If the mod wasn't set up for the pic pack then you need to go in an assign the pictures through the editor, as the mod could be set to use different name files.

<p>Here's one for you guys.</p><p> </p><p>

Impact (the whole company) got busted in my save with a sex scandal and supposedly the whole fed was marked as "toxic". I'm a couple months out from this happening and there doesn't seem to be any repercussions for this. Their popularity has been on the rise ever since, completely unhindered by said scandal.</p><p> </p><p>

Are larger companies less effected by this sort of RNG event? Or does it take a while for them to be damaged by it?</p><p> </p><p>

Just thought it was a little weird. I know when a worker becomes "toxic" it's a big deal.</p>

If you're using the same picture pack for both mods, then yes there will be missing pictures as 2001 was created by the modsquad and has its own pictures (msp) and 2018 by the who which also has his own set.

<p>Small bug report (bios)</p><p> </p><p>

A minor bug I came across...if you modify a bio for a worker who is currently employed via the worker editor, the game will not show the new bio if you open them from that company's roster. To fix this you have to open the company and then open the contracts editor- once you re-select the worker from the drop-down menu of names, the bio will refresh. Save it there, and it will be properly updated.</p><p> </p><p>

As an example, say you modify the worker DEVIL Karube's bio. It will not get updated when you open her bio through the 5SSW roster. To update it there you need to also open the 5SSW contract editor and re-select her to refresh the bio, before saving the new bio.</p>

That's not a bug - the worker bio and contract bio are two entirely separate things.

Thanks for the reply!

 

If I consider it another way- suppose I first edit the worker's bio. After that, I go to the contract bio screen for that worker, under the relevant company. When I first open it, I will see the original bio. But if I click the drop-down menu at the top left and re-select the worker, it would refresh the bio to what I had changed it to via the worker bio editor. If they are independent, should it do so?

 

Just a thought

I did a search but couldn't see anything that answered my questions. I know that company popularity isn't affected by 'B' Shows, but is wrestlers popularity? Will using my under-card effectively on a 'B' Show help them to gain small amounts of popularity over time?

So I try and keep a low level belt on the show. Veteran has it. Rookie chases. If they rookie is good enough they might win the strap and lose it to a different veteran then be transitioned to the main show. If the rookie doesn’t progress as I hoped then they get moved on and someone else gets a chance. I’ve found it a fairly decent way of building stars. Plus normally keeps someone in their twilight fairly happy as they lick up a fair few victories.</p>

[Gungner]

If I turn off deaths completely in my save, will workers continue in the game well over their 100's? I mean, they're still there even if they retire from the industry, so if I play well over 20 years, someone who started at 80 would still be in the game, retired from the industry, at 100?

[Derek B]

That isn't even an option. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

[Daelh]

<p>I have expanded my NXT UK roster so they have about 60 or so Active Wrestlers. Im trying to set up Pay-per-Views for the brand they can run, but they instantly set to Dormant regardless of what settings I try when I modify them. </p><p> </p><p>

<img alt="xHCiM3L.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xHCiM3L.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Any thoughts on how to fix it?</p><p> </p><p>

The settings I try to use is Annual - British Isles. Set them every two months on saturdays week 2.</p>

[Teh_Showtime]

Is the promotion set to be “Entirely TV” in the editor? Which means they won’t use events unless they have no tv deal (the network is obviously a tv deal).

WWE and NXT was set to traditional and NXT UK to "Entirely TV", so that seems to have been the problem. Thanks a bunch.</p>
