1.) Badfester does not affect Affection. It affects Happiness and at 214 Contentment and the gazebo with pool, I never had a problem with Happiness. You are thinking of hardfester. That raises fear and lowers affection. The Malevolent trait does not raise hardfester. Dominant and Advocate with low willpower does.
You are wrong. You are doing a cursory surface level analysis and not thinking to second and third order effect. It lowers happiness and low happiness cause increase loss in AFFECTION. And low affection causes fear if you ask a slave to do something they don't want to do but their willpower isn't sufficient to stand up to you. ERGO badfester cause you lose happiness, which causes you to lose affection which causes you to gain fear. That is the natural progression and to think like you do is to think there are only first order effects with this game. There are not.
2.) Malevolent events are disabled on accident ever since the game moved to 083. Never saw them proc. There's code for them but never in 1.9k in-game days did they proc.
Well I have seen them proc and when i look at the code I see multiple situations that lower happiness and affection in the game. (2 or 3) So maybe you are correct but i doubt it because I recall seeing malevolent events myself.
3.) If you think I do not know how to mod this game, you have not been paying attention. Then again, I have not modded this part because badfester is not a problem because it's just happiness loss of -1. The real problem is hardfester and I never had that to begin with because none of my NPCs generate hardfester simply because I'm not an idiot with low willpower advocates and Sofia is always on a fast track for Neuraclean.
You are the one complaining about your household results and you are the one that can't seem to manage your slaves to get the results you want. You are the one that doesn't understand that there are second and third order effects to variables so yeah you are are master at everything you do.
4.) Malevolent is a combat advantage and I have one of the most combat oriented household.
it hardly does anything ~roll eyes~ at best a few points of damage who cares! brawler & warrior are a better combo. Do not pretend that it makes a huge difference it doesn't, your strength will matter more that the trait, And given that you can now capture multiple slaves per fight range is less important than melee. so getting +8 damage vs +13 damage doesn't make a whole lot of difference with these two examples of bonus damage via traits. Lets not pretend your malevolent roster is a a combat machine. It isn't and almost any group of 4 NPCs with brawler and warrior can be trained to be as good as your malevolent team, such that you wont see the difference in the game.
5.) I wonder what makes you think I have a malevolent head maid when it's just the Dunham girl spec'd for domestic. Or a malevolent wife for that matter. I wish Kelly was malevolent on top of being a Crackshot. She has 270 Ranged combat stats (thanks to a long gone exploit) and 300 DEX. She would be my best female combatant. Well, she kinda still is but Vallas is damn close.
I believe i ASKED you if this was the case forgive me for not being all knowing and just kenning the stats of everything in your game. I feel so foolish asking questions, I should have KNOWN the truth before asking. Please oh great player and modder forgive my foolish ways.
It's called having the strongest NPC in the game. What negative effects. There are none. Badfester is such a nothing burger and whatever willpower drain is happening in my house is not even a thing when my girls are at 40 willpower. I just think the willpower drain in my house is such an interesting phenomenon to discuss. It's not something I need help with.
There are no negative effect to the way i play except my household generates fear and i don't understand it but i assure you that i know that NOTHING I am doing is causing this! there are no negative effects.
Sure okay bud you are a master at the game your strongest NPC that does 5 extra damage which I am guessing is what 8% extra damage than without it and even less on a crit? WOW! Your "strongest" NPC is such that it doesn't make a difference. And it seems like you are whipping your cock out in a dick measuring contest for the "strongest" NPC in the game for a single player game seems really give off insecure energy to me.
EDIT:
Ayy lmao, it's actually 15 now. Who was the latest I wonder.

You are the one that is getting results you complained about. (oh I know you are going to say you were not complaining because you are a god of MoR to us mortals) You are the one that doesn't seem to understand the idea of second and third order consequences. And this game is all about multiple layers of variables influencing each other.
But hey you have the best household in the game, with the strongest NPC in the game with a complete grasp of the game. Who is a modding genius. i am just a hack who magically knows that happiness and affection are connected and that obviously must be a crazed idea on my part because i didn't even know what your slave stats were i had to ask if you had a malevolent wife or head maid. Just shameful on my part.
