Start with the daily list, keep both mood meters alive and preserve a save before the final night.

Your first day, step by step

Every day in Woman Simulator opens with the same two-task header: "Start of day" → "Take a note from the fridge" → "Check PC". The fridge note hands you the day's assignment; the PC is where you check in on it. Do those two before touching anything else — skipping them is how players end a session wondering what they missed.

Then work the list the game gives you. The official description names the backbone chores:

1. Cook the meal the day asks for.
2. Wash the dishes you just dirtied.
3. Laundry — sort by fabric. The washing machine offers programs for Cotton, Wool, Delicate/Silk, Mixed Fabrics and Lingerie; use the capsule pods and pick the right cycle instead of one-setting everything.
4. Iron and dry the laundry, underwear and socks included.
5. Mop the floors before the day closes out.

Outdoor tasks — watering the houseplant, trimming the hedges — show up on the list too. They are quick, and they break up the indoor monotony.

Keep both meters healthy

Two meters run in the background, and they are not the same bar:

• Your morale drops as chores pile up. The official remedy is simple: take a bath after a cleaning stretch to relax.
• Your husband's mood moves on its own — he checks in periodically and complains about his work if it sours. Flatter him to cheer him up before his mood drags the day down.

Letting either crash is what turns a routine day into a bad one. Check them between chores, not after everything is done.

Steam's own achievement stats back that up: emptying your husband's mood is worth Premature Relocation (24.8% of players), and emptying your own morale is worth Depression (28.7%). Neither bar is decorative.

Settings players say to fix first

From demo and launch-window player reports:

• Mouse sensitivity — dish washing is a full-mousepad motion on default settings; one reviewer found it annoying until they adjusted their mouse settings. Tune sensitivity before judging the chore pacing.
• Performance — a player reported an RTX 3070 running at full load, which they considered abnormal for the game's visuals. If your GPU spikes, check quality settings first; the minimum spec is a GTX 1660 / RX 5500 XT.
• FOV settings — 1.0.20 added them; 1.0.21 made more options save correctly. Set it before a long session.
• Controller — Steam lists full controller support, so a pad is a valid alternative if mouse chore actions feel tedious.

What 1.0.22 / 1.0.23 changed

1.0.22: husband's mood drops less, the day-1 water bill starts later, the drum rotates if laundry sticks. 1.0.23: bush-trim quest fixed, a prompt stops you turning the stove or oven off early, training reset lives in Settings, Russian voiceover and Chinese localization shipped. Full table on the release date page.

If the first day stalls

Use 1.0.25 or later before restarting a save over missing bushes or washer items. The bush fix is intended to apply to old saves; the laundry fix targets quickly inserting clothes with Q. Add one item, check the drum, then add the next. If a Mikhail check leaves his dialogue blocked after ending the day, update before retrying: that exact bug is listed in 1.0.25. Patch details.
