📋 About This Mod

This mod is a WIP. All characters are still likely to get improved on in the future. If you would like something added to your spouse's schedule feel to comment it. This mod wasn't made for me, it's made for the people who want back the spouse they fell in love with before the wedding.

By default most spouses only have 2 days they go out (usually Mon and Fri), with the rare exception of Penny, Maru, and Harvey. Some spouses even only go out on 1 day (Haley, Leah). This mod will attempt to increase the days they go out to 4 days by adding the necessary amount of days needed.

This mod won't simply duplicate their old schedule 4 times over on different days. The new schedules will have your spouse return to their hobbies and the places they normally went to, with some new areas sprinkled in. They will go to their yearly doctor's checkup as well, some will even go to the Night Market.

This mod has to sacrifice three things in order to work, one of which you may consider good

  • []You will have less opportunities to see your spouse's dialogue simply because they are going out twice as much. However, one could argue that's better as it makes the dialogue less repetitive since you're seeing the same lines less often now.

    []You will however, ironically, get more repetitive dialogue as your spouse says the same thing when they go to leave (I am working on a solution to this which you can see in the "future plans" section). See the below spoiler tag to understand why.

  • Your spouse will have less of a chance to do chores around the house. Same as #1, only because they are going out twice as much. This shouldn't matter that much late game regardless.

    A little more in depth on some things

    Because of the way the game is coded, on every day your spouse goes to leave they have a specific dialogue they use when you talk to them in the morning. Same for when you talk to them at night. This reduces the amount of times you can talk to your spouse and see their unique dialogue and I'm not adequate enough to find a way to override this. Leaving it to 4 days will give you 3 days where your spouse stays home and you can see their dialogue. Your spouse also stays home whenever it's raining, which is also why I'm thinking of increasing the days they go out to 5 max to balance itself.

    Like previously stated, spouses stay home when it rains. Normally that's not a problem but if it just so happens to rain on a spouse's clinic date, I can't do anything about that. If you know the day your spouse goes to the clinic, you could check the TV to see if it rains and use a mod (like CJB cheats) to force the weather to sun for tomorrow. I may know h
