Mod Suggestion: Friendship loss with spouse, if 2am pass out

If you think you can make this, sure, run with it.

The whole business with blacking out at 2am, and losing 1,000G. Scary at the start, but as you build your way up, a thousand is hardly a dent, and for everyone except Friendship Point minmaxers, you’ll be sitting cosy on coin, before you get married, and, most of the time, the remaining Half Energy won’t sting you. What’s the real loss?

That’s where the Mod comes in to play. A spouse isn’t going to be too happy to see you dragged into the house by one of the townsfolk (or a Joja employee), and it would make sense for a bit of a Friendship Point Penalty, and a line or two from the spouse about it, if you get caught short on time. The characters are likeable, and you picked your spouse for a reason, and you want to keep them happy.

…Right?

”How much penalty?”

I was thinking close to a whole heart, then remembered the most known ‘spouse specific’ mechanic, the Jealousy mechanic, wasn’t built to be that punishing. Although, is there a difference between the two? The Jealousy mechanic is more logical, as of whenever it was set to only trigger, with bouquet’d folks.

Short answer: I don’t know what the Friendship Point penalty should be, so make your own call on it.
