how to Date Michelle to 100% and keep two-timing script active

[ChasingCoyote]

where can I take Michelle to eat that's not a disastrous date and yet not as far away as Misty's? the Pizza Stack or Burger Shot that are fairly close are disastrous; yet Misty's is so far away that it turns into a bad date before I get home (she gets bored easily), and can't increase progress with her, but I've seen that several people have managed to keep the script active while getting all girlfriends to 100%. I've managed to get Denise and Helena 100%, and kept the script active, but Michelle seems impossible. any suggestions? Please help

Unfortunately if you are only doing food dates Misty's is your only option.

 

You can try doing speed dates where you drive around super fast but it's faster to go from her place, to Misty's, then back.

What's this script you're on about?

this is the two-timing dates script in the game code that says that 50% of the time a random jealous girlfriend will show up and try to catch you two-timing her. when you lead her back to your dates house and she (the jealous girlfriend) is close, enter the marker, at which point her car is AP or All-Proof, and can be collected, and no progress loss with any GF. you must drive slowly so as not to lose the jealous girlfriend. for if you lose her, the script is deactivated forever. if she catches you, the script is deactivated. it's very easy to deactivate the script, and many players don't even know about this. I've collected all 6 AP jealous girlfriends cars, but I want to keep this script active after everything is finished.  Michelle doesn't do "she-drive dates until about 30% progress. before that all she wants to do is EAT. <to many bad dates> I know there is a solution out there, because it HAS been done

Turn-offs: Driving slowly, Diners, Pizza.

Turn-ons: Fat men (fat 50% or more), Bars. The "Hotknife" vehicle if you have access to it. She likes the bar near the gym in Garcia.

 

So maybe she simply likes to visit bars rather than fast food restaurants or diners ?

yes, and there-in lies the problem: I have to drive veryslowly from the bar, where she gets bored and the date fails, losing progress, once she gets above 30% she'll ask to be driven or even better, she'll ask to drive, and those she-drive dates don't count with the two-timing script, as there isn't time for a jealous girlfriend to show up.(the same is true for Millie and the GIMP suit) The dancing dates I just re-load, as they too, are too far away. I have 5 of 6 girlfriends at 100% and two-time dating script is still active, but Michelle is proving to be a b*tch.

If you are playing on a recent Chain Game save (I've seen you mention the CG but didn't see which save you are using) then Michelle also likes restaurants. There are a couple of restaurants in SF, but I think the closest to her home is Secret Valley located downtown.

 

It's probably too late now, but another trick is to date Michelle down to below 0% before collecting the last oyster. This will boost her progress up to 45%, allowing for progress with She-Drives dates. BTW, the She-Drives dates ignore the wanted level, so it's actually possible to reach 100% and earn her racing suit on a master save.

yes, its too late now, but this is a very useful trick I can use when I do another playthrough with the same goal in mind.thanks.

Well... Next time then. The same trick will work for Katie and Barbara, and Helena too if you are willing to wait until after Green Sabre to collect the last oyster.

that's going to be really difficult as I use a starter save where they are all collected in the beginning. at least now I know how it WAS done! thanks I think my only option now is to let Michelle dump me to save the enabled two-timing script, which is a shame, 'cause I like Michelle

Okay, I've got another option for you that should work, but it might take a while.

 

Michelle likes kissing so you'll get +1 once. Each gift you give will provide another +1. You should get 6 minutes to give as many gifts as you can before cancelling the date by entering a gym or ammu-nation, or starting a mission like the NRG challenge or valet. Canceling the mission results in -1 progress but you'll have the option of dating her immediate as long as you are within her hours of availability. The flowers and other gifts will also respawn in 6 minutes. Since you never enter the return home phase of the date you won't disable the two-timing scripts.

 

If you don't mind editing your save, the Savegame Editor 3.x has an option to re-enable the two-timing scripts.

That is awesome information, OrionSR! I'm not against Editing for something like that, I was just thinking with all the coding skills of many of Forums members, like changing spawn points, and girlfriends behaviors, why hasn't anyone figured how to re-enable the two-timing script? thanks, how do find save editor 3.X?

Forgive me in advance if I steer you wrong here, but I recall you could take Michelle to the club in Queens for a "drinking date" as well as one of the bars listed.  Would recommend always arriving with flowers for any date as that extra 1% is always nice to have along with kissing her after a successful date (be it a dance or drinking/dinner date).
