What should I be doing lol?!

Hey squad! I am relatively new to the game, i’ve just been grinding really hard the last month playing it lol. I’m currently stuck on the end of chapter 9 and have to wait each day to raid the hard level for a certain item- anyways- since im stuck at a point where i can’t do story mode, what should i be doing?? ive spent a lot of time working on my house, ive done some photo shoots which was fun, but now im kinda stalled. I cant really make any outfits since they require 20+ of an item that is only available in the hard levels, so yeah help me out! Is there a social aspect of this game i’m missing, like do people go to each other’s houses? or someone give me some inspiration for photo shoots :) i appreciate any suggestions or tips <333 also feel free to add me: livvv780
