Hey i'm playing around with making some packs...

Question about how Profile tag works.

From what i've found Profile pics (on the girl info screens) will pull from all work types? so for example, if i have:
 2 geisha profile, 2 waitress profile, 2 dancer profile

on the girl info pages, it will pull from all work types regardless of what they're occupation is?  so if the occupation of the girl is waitress, the girl info page (not the action of working), will use any of the profile tagged pictures (minus sex acts) regardless of the occupation tag.  am i understanding this correctly?

For girls in your brothel it searches for a picture with the "profile" tag and without any of the following tags: "rest", "wet", "beach", "public" + tags for all the jobs she doesn't have. If suitable pictures aren't found then those restricting tags are dropped from right to left until there's a result.

So in your example for a waitress it'd use the "waitress profile" pictures and it'd exclude the geisha & dancer pictures. But keep in mind that any images tagged with only "profile" and no job are considered equally eligible (for every job) and may drown out your job-specific selections.

Here is how it works precisely:
- Every day, each girl's profile picture is refreshed once (to allow prediction and to avoid jarring changes of profile pictures mid-day).
- When refreshed, the profile picture search algorithm doesn't include the girl's current job tag, but it excludes all other job tags. The reason for this is to allow some variety: If, say, only waitress profile pictures were allowed for waitresses, all other profile pictures would sit unused most of the time (and most girl packs do not have a huge variety of job-specific profile pictures). Instead, a waitress will have access to all profile pictures that are not tagged dancer, masseuse or geisha.
- The profile picture does not refresh upon changing jobs until the next day. This is a debatable choice as I prefer not to change the profile picture mid-day too much for reasons stated above, but it could easily be added if many people feel strongly about it.

Note: The above rule means that it is counter-productive to try to assign a profile picture to many jobs at once, such as 'profile waitress dancer geisha.jpg'. Such pictures will only display as mere profile pictures, or for nightly job pictures, but will be excluded from working girl profiles on the 'girls' screen (unless they are used as fallback if no other profile picture is available).

ahh i see! thanks for answering my questions! sounds like i will have to go back and do some tinkering

Side questions:
 - does this logic also apply to portraits?
 - are pictures tagged profile used in job actions as well (as in job actions don't care about the profile tag when it already has a job tag)

- No (portraits are too rarely tagged by jobs for it to be very useful)
- Yes (profile pictures are used as fallback for many pictures, so they are only disabled for sexual events)
