How does the tax lady function? Now that i am making decent money with A rank girls, the payments are starting to feel egregious. Do they just go up linearly, or are they a % of what you've made that they expect you to keep on hand?

It's calculated from how long you stay in 1 district and how much money you have.

*not based on how much you have, but on how much you've made in the past month. You can be sitting on a pile of money, as long as it's old money.

There's a progressive tax system with various tax brackets and tax rates
0% if you make almost no money, 50% of your income is insane (+128000 per day on average)

And then on top of that tax bracket it scales up with other factors:
- Up to 20% extra based on which district you're in
- Up to 20% extra based on your chosen difficulty setting
- Up to 20% extra for staying in one district for a long while
- The value is adjusted by a random modifier between -25% to +25% and the amount owed will never be higher than 95% or lower than 0% of your income.

Does the taxation take into account Quest rewards, town events and item sales ?
Or is the income based only on the night events (jobs and whores) ?

Edit : Can the taxation dialogue be changed from "You have to pay xxx on the 1st of next month." to "Since you earned yyy this month, you have to pay xxx on the 1st of next month." ?

Edit2 : I made a quick search in the code, and it seems like the taxable amount only depends on the brothel's performance at the end of each day. So if you want to make some extra money that is not taken away by the evil financial officer, then better do some quests, town events or train+sell girls.
Also if that is the case and you are submitted to the highest tax possible (95%, especially achievable on higher difficulties), 1000 gold from a quest will be as much net gold as 20000 gold from a working girl. Gives some value to doing the quests each week

What is the "virgin tip" and "Virgin rep" mentioned in the final ability for the bride zodiac sign?

I assume there's some tip modifier if the girl is a virgin?

Does this mean the final rank is useless on girls that don't have the virgin trait?

Hello!
Is there an option to prevent original girls from generating?

Just delete the _Bk.ini file in the girlpack folder and you can get a bunch of clones with different name. If you load a saved file they will stay there for a peroid of time.

No there isn't. The fastest way to disable original girls from generating would be to look for this part of the code in BKgirlclass.rpy around line 154:
            if force_original:
                self.original = "forced original"
            elif self.init_dict["cloning options/unique"]:
                self.original = "unique"
            elif self.free and dice(100)<=15 and not self.count_occurences("all", original=True):
                self.original = "random free"
            elif not free and dice(100)<=5 and not self.count_occurences("all", original=True):
                self.original = "random slave"
            else:
                self.original = Falseand replace the whole block with this:
self.original = False

Using the v.03 version and on the no story mode run. If additional information is needed, please let me know.

Question:

1. Is there a way to possibly increase the amount of love a girl has? Tried various ways such as giving gifts/talking and other things but it seems to be locked at a certain level.
(I use the Augment mod and saw that some of the girls are stuck at 50 with -50 fear) example.

2. Is the tax lady trainer only works after the first tax season? I noticed that the tax lady did her job with the end day report of "Perks or etc: $#" for a while but lately it doesn't show up on the end report anymore.

3. How does one increase / improve the girls sanity?

Is there a way to fix it or is she generally not helpful after a bit.

1.I think @Goldo is thinking about switching from -100/100 to -1000/1000 for better relationship scaling,
augment mod: you might have to find more in-dept info about in the mod, you can open up notepad and find some info about it

2.She finished her job, if you want her to appear more, is either you going in debt or unlock the final chapter where you can choose to get a loan from them

3.I think you meant by mood (maybe mix with obedience/constitution/fear), there's no sanity meter as far as I known
mood: is she happy or not
obedience: how much she obeys you
constitution: how much she'll work
fear: is she afraid of you?
sex experience: how likely that she opened for sexual activity
all these stat above maybe what you could call a sanity meter

1. After popular request a while ago Love is capped at +25/-25 per rank for slave girls, up to a maximum of +/-125. Rank up your girl to keep progressing.

2. Normally, starting from Chapter 2 the tax lady (not the banker, a different character) shows up every two weeks, once to announce the amount of the monthly payment and once to collect. There are then events that can happen after the player reaches 100,000 denars in taxes or more.

If you don't see the tax lady, then this is very likely a bug, please report it. This would mean you no longer pay taxes though, so you probably would have noticed?

3. In general, Sanity is a currency with limited supply that will eventually run out if you push it. The object of this is twofold: Encourage evil players to 'milk' some girls for powers and then discard them (consistent with an evil slaver playthrough), and avoid crazy scaling of some powers on a single girl that would be too OP otherwise. With that said, there are a couple of ways to increase Sanity:
- Ranking up provides 5-18 extra sanity, depending on luck and personality.
- Sending a girl to the lunatic asylum has a 60% chance of refunding a small amount of sanity (2-12). This is a last resort if you don't want to lose the girl's mind permanently, so you shouldn't rely on that.
- Some effects also reduce Sanity loss.

My apologies that I didn't specify the tax lady. I meant when you use her as an assistant in the no quest mode. Since, when you use her as an assistant; it's supposedly help reduce the amount of tax you would have to pay. But it's quite difficult to accurately tell if it's actually working or not.

Also, thank you very much answering my questions on the other part. Shame that there's no way to fix sanity since it kind of bugs me when the girls are doing well but have the "Frail" on the sanity.
