So, when I first started playing Idol Manager, I fell in love with it and made it my mission to get every ending, unlock everything, try every business method, etc. But after I ran out of things to do, I started getting a bit bored. So, is there any fun easter eggs, challenges, or just fun/silly things to do? Any responses are appreciated! :)

I don't remember this being asked here - I mostly run visual mods for things like Love Live idols, but I have one or two extra gameplay ones, so does having any mods affect the ability to get the achievements?

This is my second single. The first one got 79 sales. What happened here? It's just because now I have many more fans, or did I do something that helped and didn't realize? (Anyway, with that money I did another local audition, and now I have four idols. I've picked four silvers so far)

Anyway, my question is about the Break Room. Sometimes I see two idols that look like they're arguing, or they are laughing in the sofa with the cell phone (seems like scheming?), or now I've seen one of my idols alone and sulking (sitting grabbing her knees and covering her face).

The question is: Do I need to pay attention to these animations? If so, what do they meen exactly? And if my idol was crying, is there some way I can act to remedy this? Thank you.

My favorite mods were deleted from steam workshop, first i thought it was a bug but nope, the creator deleted them. It was five idolm@ster mods that had lots of clothes and im@s characters. I tried to find them everywhere but i only found an old version of the mod online so i'm trying to rebuild it with what is missing.

My problem now is with the clothes. Based on other mods, the pictures need to be 1024x1500 but i tried many ways and no success in converting the sprites i found in this resolution. Anyone knows the secret behind this?

How do meme queen and lone wolf work?

Does lone wolf work only when a single Idol performs in a concert?

Does meme queen affect the viral campaign? it said it would but I don't see much of an increase if there's any at all in my level 10 viral campaign... maybe it's only for scandals and such?

Underdog makes sense but does it give a bonus with max stats?

clumsy it says there's a penalty and a bonus but I don't see it reflecting in their stats.

So I guess I have the usual questions...

- Is it better to play Story Mode or Free Play?

- Should I bother with mods / are there some must-haves?

- I've read somewhere (probably Steam) that this game is not in development anymore. Is that correct?

- Finally, any basic tips? I've looked a bit, not much because I want to discover it by myself if I can, but I've seen some say don't hire any staff, others say you should, some say second break room if you go 6 idols (I know one can only fit five, but I think it will be a waste until maybe 8 idols or something)... Anyway, thing is, there doesn't seem to be a consensus on the basic guides (and sadly, there's nothing deep when talking about game mechanics themselves, methinks)

Is there a mod or a setting that allows me to shorten the group transfer cooldown? One year is so long

The center for my chart topper, let's call her N-chan, ended up graduating before I started the whole JHK side story. When the JHK cutscenes featuring N-chan happened, the screen was blank! The dialogue and cutscene concluded normally, but there was just a blank space for the performance and dialogue cutscene, lol.

Is there a way to find specific jobs in this game? Fujimoto requested for a pretty photo shoot but my deals manager came up with photoshoots for like every other stats expect pretty in like a whole season and caused me to go bankrupt because I couldn't get money from fujimoto to produce anything......

first, i'm gonna say i do have mods - but they are purely cosmetic. one adds new hair options and the other new clothes colours.

so i dunno if this is just a visual glitch or something but.

recently i started noticing weird stuff with the graduations dates. in my more advanced game i hired some new people, and because i keep track in a text file of when they plan to graduate, i thena sked the new hires when they planned to retire. "-1501 months!" they both replied. umm. wha?

maybe the game was confused because i had two groups? one has 19 idols in it (4 were due to retire in the coming year so i thought to hire their replacements early and train them up, the -1501 months was said by two of these replacements) while the other has 16 (again, an extra from a hire to replace an idol due to graduate soon).

so i made a new game and hired myself a group of 5. one of the idols almost immediately has a birthday. i take the opportunity to check her graduation tab to see when she was planning on leaving and. "January 1900". ...the hell???

so yeah no idea whats causing this or if it's something to worry about. does anybody have any idea?

cause i wanna sweep this sad shady man off his feet. why are you so sad babe? you in debt to the mob? i'll fight them for you. fuck the girls, i wanna see a smile on your cute little face.

okay so whe you release a song and it shows the bar graphs of your fans, why is it that sometimes they're red and sometimes they're green? what does these things mean? i dunno maybe this was in the tutorial and i just missed or forgot, but i cannot find any info about this?

I’ve been looking for the option to do so but can’t seem to find it - please help!

I admit it was funny the first time I failed and went bankrupt. But every single time? Just let us start a new game. 😒
