Ok thanks for the info. Maybe you can also explain something to me. I posted this pic a while back but I don't remember what I asked about it or what was said. If you look at Natasha's info you will see she has minus stats. What does that mean and how can I avoid that? Also on Faye's stats she has green numbers. How did I get that?
Much like real life, if you do not pay attention to a girl, her stats (love, affection, etc.) will diminish. In your posted pic, red means decrease, green means increase. That's where talking with, giving gifts, hugging, kissing, etc. come into play. Those interactions, or lack thereof, will either increase or decrease a girl's stats. Same with watching them work out in the gym will increase their strength and endurance. All part of managing the game. Some if not many have complained about the 'grind' in the game. In reality, as the developer has said, the supposed 'grind' is something you do yourself, not something the game forces you to do. IMO, the mistake many make, is to pick one girl and try and check off her achievements one by one.
Again, I'll use Eva as an example. Let's say you have decided to watch all her training in the gym to check off those achievements, consequently her strength and endurance have increased. Not a big deal right? Except your endurance has to be twice as high as hers if you are going to get all the achievements in the elevator scene. I've yet to find a reliable way to decrease those particular stats of hers without resorting to using the mod or console codes.
Bottom line is that Holiday Island is unlike any other game, in that you have juggle the relationship(s) with the girl(s) as well as manage your own stats. Thankfully, there are almost an unlimited number of 'save' slots available so the player can get a 'Do Over' as needed. Hence, the most common advice of 'Save Early, Save Often."
