I've noticed there is no "Rebelliousness" in the thread. Is it actually gone? Because either Rebelliousness or Obedience should go - they are basically the same stat in different directions.I am pretty sure Rebelliousness is derived from Obedience, Spirit, Traits, and maybe some other things, not entirely sure about that though, feels like is has been years since that came up the last time.
You obviously did not take random, non-custom girls into consideration. And even if, it's not a matter of having ugly girls. It's a matter of having different levels of prettiness. Just because one girl is less pretty than the other doesn't make her ugly.
I agree that Looks is a too simple way to look at things, and Beauty really is a redundant stat since there seems no instance of an ugly girl in the image packs (who would want to include something like that in their game?).
people have different tastes and not everybody likes Tits that are larger than the head of the person they are attached toWe've been through the issue of subjectivity multiple times. Beauty is the general consensus all standards considered. Body would be the same.
I don't think Speech/persuasion is needed though - I would continue using charisma and let it mean all the verbal and nonverbal little things that make a girl look attractive without her being a lookerSeems fair. I just thought it would be most fitting to include something that would indicate charisma is not only related to physical appearance, but at the same time may be influenced by it, so you'd need to calculate an average of some of the girl's other skills - those being her appearance and the ability to use words properly.

Although the "general consensus" concerning the female body is a lot more complicated than the one about the female face, I suppose.
When using the word "beautiful" in the meaning of a woman, the first thing that comes to your mind is usually the area above her neck though, am I right? I thought by adding a separate stat for her Body we could get an accurate depiction of how sexy it is, without resorting to minimal traits like "Great Figure".

Maybe in the end "charisma" is too ambiguous of a term? In most modern RPGs it's used almost synonymously with "Speech" or "Persuasion".
Hah. I wish I didn't make the dumbest fucking decision of my life to devote my studies since high school to liberal arts.
(although I guess that would be a lot of work... I wish I was better at C++)
hm yeah, that actually is one of the problems I currently have with random girls - they are not very useful because of their often bad beauty stat.
Maybe we should replace 'Looks' with a stat like 'attractiveness', or 'impression' like you initially suggested, that is dependent on the customer and includes, besides Beauty and Charisma, mali/boni for Traits the customer likes and maybe modifications for int/fame."Appeal"?
