Poor Rosita got down to something like -15 Happiness before I caught it and a couple days at the Baths along with other girls needing a Happiness boost and she was much better. I have to figure out just why her Happiness dropped like a rock like that.
I've had that happen with a few different girls for reasons I couldn't figure out as well. I caught Eliana at negative happiness after I had gotten her to where she loves me and I think that might be because she's a nympho and wasn't getting as much dick as she wanted. Michelle was more of a puzzler. I fully upgraded her apartment before I hired her so she was at soulmate the first time I even talked to her. Made her a guard under Ayden as my captain to train up her discipline and combat stats and next thing I know she despises me for some reason. No clue what happened. I had even completed her quest prior to that so she had Adrianne there to cheer her up but it didn't work.
My routine is similar but I don't use the morning blowjob as I stay up until 6:48 or 6:54 instead.
You can still use the morning BJ trick even doing that. Stay up til 6:54 crafting or whatever, go to bed, refuse the morning BJ and your day starts at 7am after only 6 minutes of sleep. If you accept the BJ you start at 8am instead which isn't bad if you're trying to grind out some willpower increases from that.
I built one workshop but haven't tried the Dojo yet, I bee-lined for the Walton investment instead, forgoing all other expenses outside getting surgery to raise Charm to 89 and the minor investments as well as a full house upgrade (including tech as I've a lot of Techies). I just got the Walton investment at day 222 which seemed to come slower than before. Next I was planning to finish off Fort Sera and get Roo as well as Aimie's for Dakota who I dearly miss.
Yeah I've only played around with the workshop a little so far. It's a super strong upgrade but it's pretty expensive and you get better results with high discipline people working there so I don't bother building one the first month.
I like the idea of keeping the grove for an extended period of time so I'll probably waste some money building some of my yard upgrades as temp upgrades like the dojo and then replacing them later. My plan is to put the dojo in the bottom left initially, then replace it with a stables eventually. Bottom right gets my first workshop. Podium gets the gazebo. Grove gets upgraded on day 1. Once I finish searching the scrap pile I will probably rebuild the dojo there for some more training and then eventually replace it with a 2nd work shop.
I beeline for making Fort Sera a vassal now and then focus on the Roo/Walton/Wrool Cat Wrangler investments to get myself to a passively profitable status before I start working on implants and other upgrades although I do make an exception to buy the level 1 healing implant almost immediately as well as 1 suit of duraplate for me and Felix and a stealth suit for Space Marine.
I also recently tweaked my starting perks to take brainy/gambler/nerd so I can start with high enough science to do the quest that gets you Aisha without having to take any classes or read any books. That's still not high enough for Mai Lynn's quest though unless you just buy the seeds.
