Here is a list of frequently asked questions regarding Love Plus and its fan translation. Please read it before asking for help. If your question is still not answered after reading this, feel free to make a thread.
General Love Plus FAQ:
Please note that a "short date" is considered using the "call out" button to take her to a restaurant or the school corridor.
Q: I don't understand Japanese. How do I know what to do?
A: The Love Plus Guide goes in-depth on how to play the game: sites.google.com/site/loveplusguide/ Please look at that. Alternatively, you can play the translated version located here: sites.google.com/site/loveplustrans/home
Q: How do I change her personality?
A: There are two ways to do this: In pre-confession, she will probably ask you about your "type". Replying in any way besides "Just like [girl]" will change her personality the next day. The second way, and undoubtedly the most difficult, is convincing her to change it during the dating part of the game. The general strategy for this is to be a bit cold to her (Replying harshly to her e-mails) to make her realize that you don't like her personality. The question itself may be in an e-mail or a short date. After you reply to the question, she may or may not listen to you and change her personality. Chrnos has made an in-depth personality guide, which can be found here: loveplusenglish.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=102
WARNING: When she changes her personality, keep in mind that she may change it to something you didn't ask for. For example, you tell "pink personality" Rinko that you like smart and strong girls, (Green Personality) and she changes it to blue.
Q: How do I change her hairstyle?
A: She might ask the question about her hairstyle in an e-mail or during a short date. If certain stats are met, there's a chance she will try another hairstyle. The style she chooses, however, seems random. Your girl will simply pick one of the styles in the game that matches her hair length. (which, along with color, you CAN specify to her when she asks you about it)
NOTE: Some hairstyles are only available during dates.
Q: How do I give her a gift?
A: You can give your girl a gift when a certain holiday is near, such as Christmas Eve, White Day, Anniversary or her birthday. When the holiday approaches, go to the mall in real time mode using the "Go Out" option on your schedule.`If your character takes note of the holiday when you enter, it's soon enough to buy a gift. You can choose a gift from any of the three departments. Pick wisely, though, as you cannot choose a different department once you enter one. If you don't want to give her any of the products from your choices, you can leave the mall and enter it later.
NOTE: Love Plus+ has many more gifting opportunities than just holidays. Refer to the Love Plus+ FAQ for more information.
Q: Valentine's Day is approaching and I can't buy a present, what I'm doing wrong?
A: In Japan, guys don't give presents during Valentine's Day, only girls do. You'll get your chance to return the favor during White Day (March 14th).
Q: How many ranks does this game have?
A: Ten. Twenty if you're playing Love Plus +.
Q: I made her very angry at me. How do I cheer her up?
A: The best way to raise your girl's affection is to talk to her in Love+ mode. You can use it by pressing the heart underneath the phone button. When you talk to her in this mode, her mood automatically gets better every time you say something to her. Using this, her mood could go from skull to happy face in around ten minutes.
Q: I need to go back in time to accomplish something. Is it safe to do so?
A: Time travel can be tricky in this game. If you take the date/time on your DS clock back, you need to make sure you do NOT set it farther back than the last time you saved. Doing so will automatically make your girl insanely mad at you. As long as you don't do that, going back is safe. Note that the game only checks the system's date/time when you actually enter your saved game. People playing with multiple girls can use this to their advantage.
WARNING: Never use the in-game clock to set the date/time back. Use your system's clock only.
Q: Why can't I take my girl to [location] for a date?
A: It might be because you haven't checked that location. You need to keep visiting the area using the "Go Out" option until the rank of the location (the bar you see when you select the location on the map) is at least level 1. If the location does not have a rank bar or is at school, then you can never take her there on a date. (You can, however, take her to a school area for a short date if it's still in session.) You also can't directly select restaurants, but there's a chance that you may go to a nearby one during a date.
Q: How do I have a study date with her?
A: If your intelligence is low when exams are near, she might invite you to her house to study. It also appears occasionally in your schedule once you make it to the later ranks. (rank 6 and up)
English Translation FAQ:
Q: Is there an English version on this game?
A: It's fan-made, but yes. You can find it, along with instructions on how to use it, here: sites.google.com/site/loveplustrans/home
Q: I'm having trouble with the patch. Can I ask for help here?
A: Go ahead, but we might not know the answer. You might have a better chance of getting a response if you ask in the translation creator's GBATemp topic, located here: gbatemp.net/topic/272861-completed-love-plus-english-translation-patch/
Q: Why are the study date questions not matching the answers from the guide?
A: Most of the study date questions were changed to be easier for English speakers.
Q: The characters in the game say names strangely. Also, Rinko usually talks in third person. Why is that?
A: This is how names work in Japan. It also cannot be edited in the translation, as names and the locations of them in the sentence need to stay how they are to prevent major glitches.
Q: Is there an English version of Love Plus+?
A: Not yet, but it's being considered.
