Did you follow this advice? https://f95zone.to/threads/jack-o-n...tsman-community-development.390/post-13345670
I attempted to try following it I believe, tell me if I am interpreting it wrong though.If she is feeling guilty then she's expecting to be punished, and you need to deal with that, but take a pause to consider what you asked her to do. You can choose to give her tasks that she won't/can't refuse. Like sending her to school or hiring tutors or taking her to the arena.
The first two levels of positive mood each raise obedience by one point, and once you get into a "countable" amount of disobedience (which usually happens after 1 point of fear unless she has very high attributes) those points make a difference between F- and D- or better outcomes from school/tutor lessons and whether she will refuse personal lessons or activities at home. Her mood also makes a big difference for lessons when she is more obedient.
If she isn't refusing what you are having her do, then her obedience isn't the issue, it's her motivation. Mood is very important for motivation, and clothing bonuses also help a lot. If she has a trait that aligns with some activity then doing that will improve her mood and she will perform better, so try different things to see what works. Variety of activities also produces more merit for you to reward, raising her awareness and mood among other benefits.
If you get stuck and her obedience isn't going up quickly, it can be beneficial to allow a slave to become slightly spoiled. They will feel more merit and you can therefore give larger rewards without raising her spoil level above the first tier. Those larger rewards can include taking her on dates which, if successful, will eventually raise her devotion. It's an alternative to reaching positive obedience through fear. More expensive, and potentially slower, but if the slaver is weaker than the slave or there are other factors making it hard to build up her fear then it's a viable approach.
First two levels of positive mood I assume are calm and Hopeful.
I spend first 3 days raising mood and explaining position, from there she's at 7-9 rebellion orbs currently lets say.
If I try to teach her she will refuse of course. So from here I assume I punish, I do verbal 1. I assume whenever she is guility I should punish as long as its reasonable? But how many times should I do it, everytime she refuses or if she refuses or does poorly bunch of times then I do it at end of each time she refuess/does poorly? I guess I'm mainly confused on when should I punish, specifically do I do it everytime she she is guilty or only once at end of day and trying multiple attempts?
Since I don't have many ways to raise her motivation I assume its just bathing, encouraging doesn't do anything currently at low level obedience, and SPA. I shouldn't be rewarding if she refuses as that results in spoiling I assume or maybe this is harsh mental lol. I usually give sundress, leather collar and shackle, I have no idea what crown of thorn does so not touching it currently. So how exactly do I raise her mood to Hopeful or optimistic and get her to do stuff when she's at 7-9 nine sharp thorn of rebellion, should I be sending her to a tutor/school and then rewarding her when she does well I assume? Then spam spa?
Also when should I assume its natural of her and when its a 1 reward just not reward as it should be expected of her, when she has devotion orbs or something?
I'll keep this above but
Edit: somehow i legit never used tutor on day 2-3 on rebellion 7-9? idk if maybe slave is just good but im getting A to S on the trial with optimisticmood and its going rather well on a restart.
