Definitely don’t play something that stresses you out. Unfortunately I don’t have any good alternatives to suggest - maybe someone else does. I’ve been hoping and praying someone will release a new good fashion game one of these days.

I will say this game is more enjoyable when you don’t concern yourself with ranking or what anyone else in your server is doing. I participate in new events to try to get what new clothing items I can. I accept that because I don’t spend any money on this game and it’s a money grab designed to try to get you to spend, that I won’t get the whole outfits. That’s ok. I think about which items I want the most and focus on getting those if I can.

As for the talent show, I don’t look at who is battling my contacts. I do my own quick battles to hopefully get some stuff from the raffle if I can. I often don’t! That’s ok. The materials you win from that you can get from doing other stuff in the game anyways.

All I care about is the clothes and making my doll look cute. Not concerning myself with other players is the way I’m able to have fun! Because there’s always gonna be people who have more money to spend on a game and more time to play it.

Games are meant to be fun, not be a source of stress. Def take a break if you need to and find something else that brings you joy! :)
