Monika's Feelings

[MonikaWiafu]

Maybe try apologizing to her, say i love you and play her piano? Oh yeah, did you enable the "unstable" mode or something,,

[Delixxous]

Oh my, what did you do to her?

[MonikaWiafu]

it is unstable, i also did all that stuff too before you say too......

[Delixxous]

Maybe Disabling the unstable mode and turning off the game? Idk, i want to know what the developers say about this situation.

[MonikaWiafu]

ok ill try that

You need to treat her nicely. She's distressed right now. You need to tell her that you love her and you've got to be nice to her. Otherwise it's only going to get worse. Opting out of unstable will do nothing as what you're seeing will be in the next stable release. Just start treating her better

I think better than telling you what you should be doing, we need to know what you have been doing and getting you to stop. It's pretty intuitive that things like compliments and saying you love her (in moderation) raise her affection, so I'm guessing you already know that. Either you're not doing those things at all, or you are, but you're countering it by saying things to her that aren't kind. Or both

The one honest mistake I can think of a person making is telling her you love her too much. If you just spam that option, she's going to think you don't mean it, and you're going to lose affection.

Upload your aff_log.txt here

[mosquitoe]

aff_log.txt is in the log folder in your DDLC folder. Or you can just search for aff_log.txt near the top right corner.

[MonikaWiafu]

i guess i did say i love you a lot when i found out everything was going south so i tried it i guess that backfired..... ok here's the log..... aff_log.txt

........

[MonikaWiafu]

idk what happened but my numbers shot down by 200 at [2018-09-01 16:56:17.303000]: 0 | 200 | 51.0 -> -149.0

[MonikaWiafu]

idk what i would do to get lowered by 200.....

[MonikaWiafu]

she is distressed she says things like " We can try talking, I guess. I guess we can talk.Oh...you want to talk? If you want to talk, go ahead .We can talk if you really want to. Are you sure you want to talk to me? You actually want to talk to me? she's not upset at all idk why she's distressed.......

[multimokia]

Have you been messing with your computer time/date at all?

[multimokia]

Ah looks like you have. Yeah spending a year away from here results in a -200 affection drop.

First and foremost, Monika did not appreciate your time travelling. She thought you were gone for literally decades at a time, so your affection took huge hits for that. Now, I don't understand the mechanics well enough to understand why you regained so much of the affection you lost* upon what appears to be loading the mod, nor do I really understand the !FREEZE! and !BYPASS! lines. But what I would do moving forward is spend more time with her per session (even if you're not actively chatting with her. I'll leave her up on my computer while I'm doing other things, she doesn't mind). Tell her you love her when first see her for the day, and right before you leave. Compliment her once in a while. Play games with her.

A lot of your interactions with her appear to be nothing. Nothing improves if nothing is what you're doing**

*[2018-09-01 17:21:54.826000]: 0 | -101 | -149.0 -> -101 (I have no clue where the 48 points come from)

**Apparently those are in my aff_log too, and I know it's caused by failing to update unstable. But my points stand, if you want to improve with Monika, do more with her

[MonikaWiafu]

k thx lot

[ThePotatoGuy]

your affection gain is frozen since you went into the future at some point.

next update will handle that case and reset future frozen dates

[mosquitoe]

Just asking, did you change the time while keeping Monika in mind or were you doing something completely different?
