A little late I realize, but...
I need to figure out how to take better photos in game. Right now I’m just turning off the radar and taking a screenshot while looking at the car through my character’s eyes.
I think you can use your character's phone to take pictures and they will be uploaded to your Rockstar Social Club account, not sure about resolution though.
The "pro" way to do it is with the Rockstar Editor though. You need to take a recording using the in-game capture thing, hold "Down" on the d-pad until the little character wheel pops up, then you push A I think? It will start recording, then park your car for the photo and even have your character stand next to it or whatever you want, and then do the same to end recording. You can then edit the recording as if it was a replay in racing game, choosing camera angles or manually moving the camera where you want, and you can pause the clip to take nice screenshots and do some pretty cool stuff with effects.
The Rockstar Editor is an amazing feature, I don't personally use it much because I'm not too creative for that kinda stuff, but it is an incredibly powerful tool and not as complicated to use as you would think.
I’m still having trouble coming to grips with the steering in the game. It feels like there’s an aggressive self-centering, almost like auto-steering, and it’s messing with my steering inputs.
I have the same problem, it's just kind of a GTA thing. Personally I felt the handling was much nicer on the 360 version and I actually enjoyed driving some cars there and was fairly quick in racing with Broughy's NoDo crew, but then after changing to the XB1 version it felt even more sensitive and I constantly over-correct slides in the looser handling cars, which used to be my favorites in the 360 version... Meaning yeah I don't enjoy the driving much anymore.
Any suggestions for what I should do to earn money? Right now I have a daily routine of raiding a stash house to keep my weed farm supplied, regularly selling my weed, doing the Junk energy drink time trial, searching for G’s Cache, and taking a turn at the wheel of fortune in the Casino.
Becoming a VIP/CEO and doing some of those missions is easy and quick once you have a few of the right tools, like a weaponized helicopter or car with missiles. The one called "Headhunter" is the one most people do, with a Buzzard or similar you can do it for $20k-ish in 3 or 4 minutes, but the one called "Sightseer" pays similar and has you exploring the map with no one chasing you or trying to kill you and a pretty relaxed time limit, so you can just drive whatever car you enjoy for it. Good things to mix into your routine for some variety.
Also if you do the missions for Dax, you unlock a free cool big 6x6 van thing that you can turn into a business for just $750k that is fairly profitable. Compared to many of the other businesses, that's not a bad start-up fee.
As others recommended, the nightclub is great, but part of the power of the nightclub comes in how it syncs up with your other businesses. To get the full power out of it, you need to own other businesses too, but the big plus here is that only owning the other businesses is enough, you don't also need to upgrade/operate the other businesses.
So basically yeah, buy the nightclub, but also buy an office and warehouse, the meth and cocaine parts for your biker clubhouse, and a bunker (probably in that order). You don't need to fully invest in them and buy upgrades, just having them will make your nightclub generate the corresponding product, and the kicker is that the nightclub doesn't need any supplies to generate that product or any missions or anything, just time. Then you can go back and upgrade the other businesses later using the money the nightclub helped you make if you want to operate them as well.
Hopefully I'm explaining it well. For example in my game, I have a nightclub as well as fully upgraded bunker, medium size office warehouse, and my meth/coke labs are completely un-upgraded and I never operate them (buy/get product and use them to produce anything). This means my nightclub automatically generates coke, meth, "Sporting goods" (aka guns, for some reason), and cargo all from just sitting there with no need to do annoying resupply missions or buy supplies, or do the painful biker delivery missions. It also stores all of that stuff inside the nightclub, so I don't need to run around and check all of my warehouses/businesses to make sure they aren't full. Of course, if I want to operate all of those businesses separately I can do that do that too if I'm willing to get supplies for them and so on.
Thanks to the nightclub, I mainly I just rely on it for income nowadays. It becomes a bit too hectic trying to keep each individual business supplied and delivered, so I can rely on the nightclub to generate passive income, and only actually operate the extra businesses during bonus weeks.
Also the nightclub allows you to invest in the Terrorbyte, which is a fun and useful vehicle. It gives access to some special and actually kinda fun free-mode missions, is useful for operating businesses, and can store that annoying flying motorcycle which, for as annoying as it is when other players have it, it's a very useful (if a little boring) tool for doing other work when you are in a hurry.
Hopefully that's not too confusing or too much of an overload. I've been playing since day 1 so everything seems normal to me, but one of my friends just recently started playing and it has given me some perspective on how daunting the game actually is for a new player at this point, with so many business and side-stories that unlock features and so on.
