Actually, I did it exactly because of that; for those that want to advance the plot and don't care for the clothing aspect, they simply do not buy more parts and thus can speed through the clients faster. For those that are into the clothes, it becomes more challenging for them because they're buying more parts.
I didn't want people who are only there for the story to have to grind very hard to progress :)
But yeah, I'm definitely tweaking the gold again!
