I suppose part of the nomination thing will come from other studios using a variety of talent. I remember with HMS a lot of good actors just would not be used. Hence certain people winning 30 awards

I have no idea what made that happen in HMS, but it's not really a problem in Film Studio Tycoon, so I really see no reasons to meddle with the code. I did a quick test run (6 years) because this is so important to you and there wasn't a single occurrence of an actor winning more than one Oscar.
In case you're intrested, here are the results:
Lead Actor Robert DeNiro Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Steve Buscemi Christoph Waltz Max Irons Freddie Highmore
Lead Actress Julia Loius-Dreyfus Natalie Portman Ellen Page Tilda Swinton Dakota Johnson Joanne Froggatt
Support Actor Alfred Molina Colin Firth Iwan Rheon Cuba Gooding Jr Stanley Tucci Liev Schreiber
Support Actress Keira Knightley Helen McCrory Sofia Boutella Glenn Close Julianna Margulies Carrie-Ann Moss

I guess he's lucky there's no "not sexual harassing young men" skill in the game. Honestly, Kevin Spacey is probably a pretty troubled guy, but he's an incredibly gifted actor, so he has very good stats in-game. In the end it's just a video game and if anyone is bothered by this they can always edit him out of the database.

I read above that there will be a time limit. Could there be an option that lets it be unlimited and the AI will just start repeating titles once they are all used?

Yes that or maybe they could put together existing worlds to mix and match with the titles therefore increasing the life span of the game?

Sure, but keep in mind that the game will become slow and unstable. I'm trying my best to anticipate potential bugs, but the larger the database the higher the chance of a problem.

Can we stop the actors from aging like in the start of the game or in editor option to stop the actors from aging and if we want we can increase them during game wither one by one or all of them at once by a year or something.

Hm... super easy to code, but why would you want this? I thought you guys liked realism? The whole idea behind the game is a dynamic simulation of hollywood. I could add it a cheat code in the final version, but this is not my priority at the moment.

It just gives options. You can put it in the start of a game too like an option to keep age dynamic or static.

How about as part of the random events, something like scandals that happen irl. They would happen randomly and cause the actors reputation etc to drop massively and no studio would want to associate themselves with him for a long time? Could help change the meta and generally be very interesting.

I'm not sure I want to add the whole molestation thing just yet (Just doesn't feel right), but random scandal events will definitely be part of the game.# Btw, Sorry for a lack of updates during the past couple of days. I'm working 12 days without a break (until next week), so I hadn't had the time to work on the game, because I've spent most nights in the hospital.

It’s cool. Another thought : I feel like 25 yrs it too short to build a proper studio “dynasty” . Suppose u re use the titles, or do something like HMS did, would it be possible to extend the time limit? Also, does someone who perform well in the audition necessarily do great once they’ve been cast ? And someone who does badly does great?

I think you might have clarified this before.
We can't offer studio offices/first look deals to producers/writers/directors, right? I feel like this is quite realistic (Less so with acting talent)
Unlike HMS I feel we should just be offered the project but declining it won't end the first look deal, instead it'll just go to another studiio.
Sometimes they could have talent attached.
Also is agents selling packages a thing?
Finally, like in HMS, can we sell the distribution rights in certain territories if short on cash?
