Doesn't sound right to me lol you made me double check and each party is definitely in the 100,000 points range and they're all S tier parties.
Not sure which party you're talking about, but I haven't seen a "Pink Weiß"-less Halloween party with more than 7.0x, which led me to believe that its hard to overcome that crutch. If you do have one with 7.75 multiplier, you're really gonna fuck with my mind cuz I'm gonna spend forever trying to figure out what layout it was and how.
I thought this too, and then I tried to do the Halloween Party with the "Easy to Please" perk and it just wasnt beating the benefit of using no cups for beer. My score and even total happiness was lower.
I feel the opposite. Halloween party was very beer heavy with the Diks needing 14 of them and Thanksgiving was also beer heavy with the Diks needing 11. Christmas was the first one in which the Diks didn't really ask for a lot of beer with 4 needed by Jacob and Tommy and 5 needed to fulfill the MC's general task. Sure, DPC throws in the occasional "We need cups" or "we need trash cans" but like I said before I just don't think those compensate for the utility of being able to place those cups wherever you want if you need to, or not placing them at all if that helps you. I just haven't seen a better score without Pink Weib/haven't been able to do it.
Yeah DPC really fucked us on that one. Genuinely a dick move, especially after making the MC only at 10% happiness. Least he could do is throw us some extra happiness for him based on other decisions, but no...
