Real Time Mode?

[Karu]

Hey, everyone, I'm new to Love Plus, and I'd like to ask a few general questions if you don't mind! I've read and re-read the Love Plus guide, and although it's been very helpful, there are still a few things I don't fully understand.

Anyway!

Schedule (Real Time Mode): I'm not sure how it works, or if I'm missing something. I've read about commands that I'm not seeing myself, like a part-time job command, for example.

Activity Points: You use up activity points to do virtually everything in Real Time Mode, but how do you recover them?

Rich: You earn Rich on Sunday's, and one of the factors determining the amount is how often you use the part-time job command. However, I don't see the part-time job command.

Presents: I've read that you can only give presents in Real Time Mode, but I gave Manaka a couple presents in Skip Mode during dates. However, she has yet to wear them. Is this normal, or will she only wear them if you give her presents in Real Time Mode.

Skinship (Kissing): I just wanted to clarify this, but a refrain kiss is when she asks you to kiss her again? I start off with 5 hearts > 4 hearts > 3 hearts, and then followed by a love message. I've read that you unlock cosplay costumes by accomplishing refrain kisses in succession.

Camera: I found out that you have to buy lenses, but I wanted to know if you can increase the amount of pictures you can take. At the moment, I can only take 5 before running out until the next day. I recall being able to take 20 in the demo.

I think that's about it for now.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, if you're going to post regularly I suggest you to open an account.

The schedule is very simple, just choose your activities for that day, you can choose anything you like, I suggest you try to balance how your parameters grow. The part time job command is the one that looks like a building with a big "F" sign at its side, you know, the family restaurant where Nene also works. There are other commands that only appear at certain times or events.

You recover your points automatically as time goes by, you also regain a few when you beat your girl at Rock, paper, scissors in Love Plus Mode.

It doesn't matter in which mode you give her the presents, she wearing certain items depend on her personality type, clothes style and even the season of the year. There are items that she'll never wear outside Love Plus Mode (like the animal ears). And there are items she only wears during dates.

That's exactly what Refrain Kiss is, the costumes unlocking happens only in the previous games (LP and LP+)

To increase the amount of pictures you can take, you must buy a bigger memory stick, the bigger one lets you take up to 20 pics.

Thanks! I was refrencing the original Love Plus guide, so the interface threw me off quite a bit when I tried Real Time Mode in New Love Plus. Specifically, the schedule looked a bit different, which is why I was wondering.

She actually wore a some glasses on a date that I gave her, and now she wears them regularly. I guess it was just a matter of time!

I have a few more questions if you don't mind:

Date Spots:

I'm not sure if this is how it works, but I was looking at the locations in the Love Plus guide, and I noticed that during dates, much of them aren't available. Is this how it works?

If I want to go to the Aquarium, it says that the requirements are Harbor Park Lv. 1. So, I have to go on dates at Harbor Park until I reach Lv. 1, then the Aquarium will become available as a date spot?

Personality:

I'm just making sure, but I wanted to change my Manaka Blue personality, to a Pink personality, and found that she'll change based on how you act towards her. I read on here that by replying half-heartedly, she'll eventually change to Pink when you meet the requirements after she asks/e-mails you about it.

Hair color:

I've got the hairstyles down, but I was interested in hair color. This isn't so much of a question, but more like advice, I guess? I wanted to change Manaka's hair color to a light purple(lavender), so when she emailed me about her hair color, since I wanted light purple, I replied that light or bright colors would be nice.

However, she dyed her hair light blonde. Now, I know that it's random, and I'll have to keep trying until I get the color I'm aiming for, but am I on the right track, or do you think I should have replied differently?

Features:

I noticed that a lot of features I've seen aren't available to me yet, like the photo mode found in the demo. I guess this is normal, but do I unlock some of these things as I progress in rank?

I think that's it for now...

Thanks again for your help, and sorry about the questions, but I can't find too much specific information like this on New Love Plus, so I hope people more familiar with the game can help. Though, I found a lot of useful information here.

Date spots work like you think, but you you can level locations simply by going to them, it doesn't have to be during a date.

Changing personality after confession is one of the most frustrating things in this game, we don't exactly know how the system works. The easiest way to do it is playing Kaisou Mode again and get her to change personality there, before confession. Check this thread for more details.

Actually, hair color is not totally random, check this thread for more info.

The photo mode happens only when she invites you to her house for dinner, this happens randomly and I don't know if it's related to rank.

Just wanted to say thanks!

I actually got Manaka to change her personality in Skip Mode, and it was relatively easy. Maybe I just got lucky, but I just followed what I read on here, and it worked!

(Just posting this for your information, or anyone who might be having troubles.)

After a date, I decided that I wanted to change Manaka's Type-A personality, to Type-C, so this is what I did:

• Replied to all her e-mails 適当に返信 (halfheartedly)
  
• Rejected her requests to go on dates*
  

*This was mostly because I like to max out my parameters before going on dates, but decided to stick with it after I rejected her the first time. I'm not sure if this influenced her in any way.

That's pretty much all I did differently. We still went on dates like usual, skinship, etc.

Eventually, she started e-mailing me about what type I liked, and I always replied with 明るくて積極的 (Bright and Active). As I kept replying to her halfheartedly, her e-mails became more frequent.

Finally, I asked her out on a date to the Indoor Swimming Pool, and a couple days before the date, she e-mailed me about the type I liked. I noticed that she asked right before the date, so I took a chance and made sure I had a Lv. 2 Coffee/Restaurant Extra, in case she asked about her personality.

After the first Coffee/Restaurant stop (when you first meet), she asked about my nickname, which she's done before. However, the second time at the swimming pool, she asked about her personality! I chose 明るくて積極的 (Bright and Active), and she seemed a bit annoyed at first, so I was a bit worried, but the next day she was Type-C!

Overall, I'm pretty happy with Type-C Manaka, now to figure out the kissing spots. I had just mastered Type-A, too!

Oh! I looked at your hair color guide, and it was really helpful! Thanks! Though, I'm still a bit stumped! I'm not sure how to get colors like purple (I saw a few pictures with a purple-haired Manaka, and now I've made it my goal!).

You said you'll end up with a random color like blue or green if you go on a date after her first email where she first mentions changing her hair color (Not the one where she asks about the shades). Maybe I should try that?

Also, would replying halfheartedly now that she's Type-C cause any negative effects?

Thanks again!

Good luck with that, meanwhile I'm so annoyed by not being able to find the right kissing spots that I want to change my Manaka to a different personality than C, even though I like her the most this way

Those weird hair colors are random, you'll have to try it until you get it.

If you already got the personality type that you wanted, I don't see any reason to keep replying her mails halfheartedly.
