I have been trying so hard but all i've been able to make are 2 and 3/4 star movies in my sandbox mdoe so i was wondering how can you make 5 star movies that makes into the $millions range? btw i have instant movie shooting and actors dont have tempers

hmmm I dont know i'm struggling to get 2 and a half lol! I don't think you can for some reason?

I won't swear to it, but it make sense to me. I've read elsewhere that movie crews gain no experience when shooting in "instant" mode. Therefore, you can write a 4 star movie, but by the time it gets down to shooting, you'll have lower star points because of their inexperience. Assuming that your stars aren't perfect friends across the board and that they're not perfect genre fits and that they've not got perfect genre experience and you lose points and points and points.

I have the same problem as you .
And i would appreciate it if someone told me how to write more than a two star movie in SandBox .
Btw i only have the ' Actors don't misbehave ' checked .

Work on your movies in Tycoon (Story) Mode. When you porgress in the game, you unlock better quality script buildings which then transfer over to Sandbox.

But one thing, in 'Sandbox mode', it doesn't matter what the star rating of the movie is.  Star ratings only really help you in the Tycoon mode.  You don't unlock anything or get anything extra by making movies with higher stars in sandbox, only in tycoon mode.

To get 5 Stars in Tycoon mode, you have to have the First Class Script Office (use the custom script writing office to write and edit the script)(you need both the 1st class and custom scripts offices on the lot), Stars basically maxed out on the genre skill for that particular genre, highly experienced film crew, Aa highly skilled director and (if I remember rtight) more than 40 scenes in the film.  Do a full PR campaign, make sure your stars are not stressed and they are compatable with each other and you should be able to get a 5 star movie if I remember right.

Sandbox mode is just that: "Sandbox".  It basically allows you to make custom films of your own with your unlocked sets without having to worry about the story mode.  You have to play story mode in order to unlock anything or to get your 5 stars.
