I wouldn’t literally mind buying this feature alone for a few bucks

Do you have any suggestions for the name of the DLC if this feature is also added?

Billionaire Life DLC definitely sounds better than Millionaire Life. Living like a billionaire sounds more enticing than millionaire.

Perhaps also:

Billionaire Lifestyle
Wealthy Lifestyle
The Rich Life

On the other hand perhaps if you do have a corporate bankruptcy it might be an interesting feature to just create a new corporation out of personal funds. Maybe even go out and IPO it.

Thanks for your suggestions. Do you like Billionaire Life DLC or Billionaire Lifestyle DLC better?

Ranking
I would be happy if the museum ranking includes names like “Alice Museum” or “Alice Jewelry Museum.”

The ranking method can be anything. Here is just one idea:
It could be based on the number of visitors per year (as of December 31).
Each theme (jewels, paintings, etc.) attracts more visitors if the collection is complete. Also, the higher the value of the collection, the more visitors it draws.

Admission Fee
Since this DLC’s museums are more like personal hobbies (run by individual owners), it’s acceptable for them to run at a loss.
From a simulation perspective, collecting collections can make a museum profitable through admission fees (or café and merchandise sales). From a game design perspective, this profit would be a kind of reward.

However, achieving profitability should be set as a high-difficulty challenge.
It is fine even without the admission fee mechanic, but fundamentally, museums should tend to run at a loss.

DLC Name
I like the name “Wealth Spending DLC.”
It is already used in the preview, so changing it now would make it harder to find information on the forums.

Since I’m Japanese, as long as the name makes sense when translated with Google Translate, I don’t mind.
Also, this feature encourages spending wealth, so I feel the current name fits well.

The idea of owning multiple companies sounds interesting although I am not sure how much more functionality it offers on top of the existing subsidiary system. I suppose it is in theory possible to be a CEO of more than one company at the same time but it isn't common.

On the other hand perhaps if you do have a corporate bankruptcy it might be an interesting feature to just create a new corporation out of personal funds. Maybe even go out and IPO it.

But frankly I just think you should take better care of the company you just founded.

Everyone has their own preferences regarding how they want to play, but sometimes having a choice is what matters (and that’s what I would like to see in this regard). I don’t think that it’s such an uncommon thing to be CEO in a couple of companies (at least in my county it’s not). Being CEO doesn’t mean you are actually managing the company - both in real world and Capitalism Lab-wise (you still have COO).

Gameplay-wise I think it would be very beneficial. Aside from bankruptcy thing, there are couple of examples at the top of my head:
1) You want a new startup company, which engages into high risk - high reward activity (e.g. a lot of R&D needed). Don’t want your main company to risk it all, but don’t want to pay external CEO remuneration for just sitting there.

2) Since Service DLC arrived I really enjoyed landless gameplay as much as possible (making retail companies with only rented shops). Again need a SPV for holding real estate. Again have to pay CEO for doing nothing.

3) Third example - creating SPV as in-house bank. Essentially a company with only Bank HQ meant to only land corporations (no deposits, just equity). Again paying CEO for doing nothing.

As an alternative to the player person being CEO in multiple companies, devs may consider allowing for your main company to be kind-of CEO (company managing SPV, which is allow in UK, as far as I know). You can then cash-out those precious management fees.

Personally I don’t mind Wealth Spending DLC, but I’m not going to be influenced by its name anyway. From marketing point of view you may look want to look for something shinier, like „Billionaires and Executives DLC”.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'd like to inform you that he development team has started assessing the technical feasibility of these suggested features:

1) Using personal funds to start a new company if your first company goes bankrupt.
2) Allowing players to directly own and act as CEO of multiple companies.

BTW, I've created a poll on the DLC name at viewtopic.php?t=10470 Please vote or suggest new names.

Can New And better Looking Mansions(my opinion) Be added as well

I'm rooting for this to be developed, it's something I've been waiting for years.

I want to add a random event when acquiring mineral resources or constructing new buildings each time — obtaining newly discovered cultural relics that can be displayed in the museum.

Could you provide some examples of cultural relics?
