this is a good suggestion! we're in the middle of discussing how to overhaul the core gameplay loop in light of all the great feedback we've been getting. one of the things that I think might work better is having the hygiene penalty only show up after several "sweat-inducing activities" have been performed, so that there isn't a 1:1 ratio with training/working. we also want to make the shower a more happening place to reduce the perceived penalty of showering!Kept forgetting to make this suggestion: remove the post-working hygiene degradation. As it is, 2 of the 3 primary activities (class, train, work) need showering afterwards, which results in you spending more time showering than any other single activity. Having to shower after working also prevents you from working in the afternoon of date nights, leaving only mornings as a possibility, assuming Xavier is even there in the morning.
Removing the hygiene hit would both speed up the game due to less wasted time (spending most of the time in the showers accomplishes little), and it would grant more flexibility on when you can actually work, something already limited by Xavier's presence in his office.
