Choose a practical next goal
Social qualities open dialogue choices, jobs and Social Links. Look at the next relationship or job you want before selecting an activity. For example, the hospital job needs Diligence, while tutoring requires high Understanding.
Use both daytime and evening opportunities
Studying, classroom answers, books and part-time jobs build different qualities. School-club and job activities can also support Social Links. The activity reference lists the relevant stat rather than treating every spare time slot as interchangeable.
Track cumulative progress
Each quality has five ranks and its own point thresholds. A higher rank label does not mean every quality required the same amount of progress. The rank reference lists cumulative thresholds, not the points needed after the previous rank.
