Strip Club Wars

How do I install and run StripClubWars?

The game is now distributed as a simple zip file without an installer. Unzip the files wherever you want, then run StripClubWars.exe from the extracted directory.

What should I do if clicking 'New Game' does nothing?

Ensure that all necessary directories (characters, data, local) are correctly unzipped in the same location as the .exe file. Verify that the scw.ini file looks like: Spoiler BaseDataDir=. Also check for a writable runtime subdirectory.

Why doesn't the game work with non-US regional settings?

The game requires US regional settings to function properly. Change your system's format to United States in the region settings.

How can I edit my save files and cheat?

Edit the config file located in the /runtime directory for various cheats, such as reducing stamina costs or speeding up building times.

Why can't I hire singers or dancers until the Topless law is implemented?

This is a bug where hiring certain roles requires the Topless law to be in place. It will be fixed in the next release as it involves code changes rather than data file adjustments.

Gameplay Mechanics

• The cap for all attributes is 100 (most start from -100 but a few start at 0). Skills change when you read skill books or perform actions that use those skills. Abilities like strength and endurance change by working out, running in the park, etc.
• To hire an entertainer such as a singer, dancer, or stripper, you need to establish laws allowing entertainers, have a dressing room and seating area for customers, and post open jobs.

Troubleshooting

• If the New Game button does not work, check your Player.log file located at C:\Users\<your name>\AppData\LocalLow\Total Fluke Studios\StripClubWars. Share the first 100 lines of this log with support for analysis.

Progression Tips

• To test job reassignment, try assigning a female bartender or waitress to singer/dancer/stripper roles. If these options do not appear, it indicates missing rooms or laws.
• Posting open jobs is crucial for hiring people as entertainers.

Relationship Management

• To have more than one girlfriend, consider changing the AI's opinion on having multiple partners. This may involve adjusting their lewdness level or other attributes to make them more open to such relationships.
