Ever stumbled into a game that hooks you with its mix of everyday life and steamy choices?

This visual novel drops you into a world of relationships, hidden scenes, and player-driven drama. Whether you’re grinding love points or timing TV sessions perfectly, Simple Days rewards smart plays. In this guide, I’ll share my top strategies to unlock characters like Maria, Moko, and strippers, manage pregnancies, and nail those tricky triggers. Let’s dive in and level up your Simple Days experience together.
How to Unlock Key Characters in Simple Days?
Let me tell you about the first time I tried to unlock Maria in Simple Days. I was chatting her up, thought things were going great, and then… I totally missed her spa scene. 🤦♂️ I showed up on the wrong day, like a fool, and watched the opportunity vanish. It was a classic rookie mistake. But hey, that’s why I’m here! After many (many) playthroughs, I’ve cracked the code on how to unlock characters in Simple Days reliably. This guide is all about turning those frustrating misses into surefire hits, so you can master the social web of this visual novel.
The key to progressing in this game isn’t just about clicking through text; it’s a delicate dance of schedules, timing, and relationship points. Whether you’re aiming for a deep connection or just want to see all the content, knowing how to unlock characters Simple Days style is your golden ticket.
Mastering Maria and Sasha Encounters
Maria is often the first major relationship players pursue, and for good reason. Her story is engaging, but her Maria sex trigger is notoriously easy to mess up if you don’t know the rules. My failed spa attempt taught me that preparation is everything.
First, you need to build a foundation. Talk to Maria whenever you see her in the house. Once you’ve built some rapport, the spa becomes your target. Here’s the foolproof sequence I now use every time:
- Build Initial Rapport: Talk to her in the kitchen and common areas over several days.
- Hit the Spa at the Right Time: Go to the spa reception between Tuesday and Friday. This is non-negotiable! Weekends are for Sasha.
- The Critical Evening: On the day of your spa visit, do NOT go to the TV room after dinner. This is the step I missed. Instead, go to Maria’s room about an hour before sleep time.
- Seal the Deal: If you’ve done it right, you’ll get the scene that progresses your relationship significantly.
Remember, Maria has a limit on how many kids she can have in the game (two), which can affect later events. Always keep that in mind for long-term planning!
Now, for her sister Sasha, the pattern is similar but shifted. She mans the spa reception on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Building a relationship with her follows a parallel path—frequent chats leading to spa visits on her days. Managing both sisters requires you to watch the in-game calendar like a hawk. A pro tip? Use the console command DayTimePeriod=7 sparingly to fast-forward through waiting days if you’re focusing on one character’s schedule. It’s a huge time-saver for grinding.
And speaking of the Betty love points grind, here’s a personal story: That time I grinded Betty without Moko—lesson learned. 🥵 Betty requires a hefty 50 love or attribute points to trigger her first intimate scene. Doing this alone is a slow, grueling process of giving gifts and compliments. I spent ages on it. Then I discovered the boost: if you have a good relationship with Moko, bringing her along when you spend time with Betty significantly accelerates the point gain. It turns a marathon into a sprint!
Triggering Moko and Rebecca TV Events
The TV room is the heart of many special events in Simple Days, especially for triggering Moko TV events. These aren’t just random; they’re carefully scripted moments that unlock new character interactions and story branches.
The most famous one involves Moko, Naomi, and Maria. To get this music TV invite, here’s the drill:
1. Save your game in the corridor before entering the TV room.
2. Have Moko and Naomi already in the house with developed relationships.
3. Walk into the TV room. If the event doesn’t trigger, reload your save and try again. Sometimes it needs a specific time of day or for Maria to be available.
Crucial Tip: For this and many other TV events, visible pregnancies can sometimes block the scene. If an event isn’t firing, check if any involved characters are showing.
For other Moko TV events, like the one with Rebecca, consistency is key. Visit the TV room regularly at different times. Rebecca’s events often pop up in the evening. A great strategy is to make a “TV round” part of your daily routine—after breakfast, after dinner—to catch different characters.
What about Tristy? If you’re struggling to meet her at night, try the daytime. She sometimes appears in other locations during the day if her night event is locked behind a relationship flag you haven’t hit yet. The world of Simple Days is full of these alternate paths.
Recruiting Strippers and Gang Members
This is where the game opens up into its more strategic, management-style gameplay. Want to recruit gang Simple Days style or hire the Simple Days strippers? You need to think like a boss.
Let’s start with the strippers. Characters like Ema and Zara can be recruited to work at the club. For Ema, this is tied to one of the game’s more complex scenes: the Ema threesome guide. Here’s how I navigated it:
* First, you need to have an intimate relationship with Ema established in her new house.
* After being with her, talk to her in her room. The option should appear.
* The Tricky Part: On the same day, you need to watch a specific adult film on the TV with Moko. If it doesn’t work, reload and try walking between rooms again to reset the event flags. Timing is everything!
Once she’s working for you, managing your employees’ ovulation cycles can maximize your club’s income—it’s a unique and deep mechanic.
Recruiting the gang is a different beast. It involves making a deal with the Madam at the club. This is a major fork in the road. Accepting her deal unlocks Lydia’s secret and gives you a steady income from the “gang chick.” However, there’s a big trade-off: if you choose to keep the gang, you will no longer receive free pills from the Madam. You have to decide what’s more valuable to your playthrough: resources or control.
Don’t forget about random elements! Before you help Zara move in, she has a daily 50% chance for a scene if your relationship is high. It’s worth checking in on her regularly for these unscripted moments that can boost your progress.
Finally, my ultimate pro tip for anyone learning how to unlock characters Simple Days throws at you: SAVE OFTEN. 🙌 Save before every spa visit, before entering the TV room, and before any big conversation. The game has many branching paths and random checks. Having a recent save lets you experiment without losing hours of progress. Now go out there and bring your wildest Simple Days projects to life!
| Character | Days Available | Kids Limit | Key Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maria | Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri | 2 | Visit her room 1 hour before sleep after spa day for key trigger. |
| Sasha | Sat, Sun, Mon | 2 | Similar path to Maria, but mind the different schedule. |
| Moko | Various (TV Events) | – | TV events are key. Avoid visible pregnancies for event triggers. |
