Little LUMI Model Six affection stages, read from Home
Days together and head pats unlock more things for her to mumble.
Affection is the long loop in Little LUMI Model. Store copy: days spent together and head pats add up through six stages, each unlocking new things for her to mumble. There is no gift inventory. You keep her on the desktop, you pat her head, and the Home tab records it.
Motion she plays while this ticks: behaviours. Steam names that sit next to first contact: achievements. Parent: Lumi Hub.
Where affection lives
Tray icon → Settings. Tabs are Home, Lumi, Behaviour, Sound, Screen, About. Home is the relationship sheet. It shows the stage you are in, the stage you are walking toward, and a handful of counters. If the window looks stale, quit from the tray and launch again.
A launch-week Home tab looked like this:
- Current stage: Getting used to you
- Next stage: Opening up
- Stories waiting at the next stage: 78
- Head pats: 4/5
- Stories heard: 482
- Pomodoros: 6/6
- Days together: 2
Treat that as an example of how the UI talks, not a universal save. The layout holds: current name, next name, a story teaser, then the four counters.
Six stages — two names we will quote
There are six stages. The Home tab proves they have readable names and that you always see current and next. This wiki quotes two labels from a live tab: Getting used to you and Opening up.
Studio LUMI has not published a full public stage table. We will not fill the other four slots with guessed romance ranks. If a later patch lists another name, it belongs here. Until then, read the two labels Home is showing you.
The two inputs named in store copy:
- Days together — calendar time she has lived on this desktop.
- Head pats — rub the top of her head; the cursor becomes a hand and she lights up.
The 4/5 pat readout is a small quota inside a stage, not four-sixths of the whole track. When it rolls over, expect the teaser line about stories at the next stage to refresh.
Pats without wrecking work
Patting is a mouse gesture. If the cursor never becomes a hand, you are not on the head hitbox — climbs and naps move it. See controls for pick-up, throw, and tray-call. Throws are fun; they are not listed as an affection input.
Turn on hide-on-fullscreen in Screen so she does not steal the cursor in a game. Pair that with focus mode so she settles during a deep block and still gets pats on the break. The settings checklist is the tab-by-tab pass.
Stories and the Voice Pack
Each stage unlocks more mumbles. Home calls them stories. The example save had 482 logged and 78 more waiting at Opening up. That is a bundle of lines, not a single new sentence.
The LUMI Voice Pack does not replace this system. It attaches recorded voice to self-talk and to meeting chats. Subscribe, fully restart, pick 루미 보이스 팩 on Sound. LUMI Chat is a separate optional mod with an API key; it is not required for affection. Details: Workshop.
Pomodoros on Home (example 6/6) record focus cycles. Store copy still names days and pats as the six-stage inputs. Finish a timer if you use one; do not treat it as a hidden grind.
Extra Lumis via Call Another LUMI chat and high-five. They do not replace days-together. Apply hotfix 1.0.1 before you parade them.
Day one: install, let her walk, pat once, leave Settings on Home. Day two: confirm days together ticked. Week one: keep extras off until first-week rank says they are worth it. If Home never moves, you are not patting or not leaving her running.
Affection is a calendar plus a hand on her head. Read the two names Home is willing to show. Wait for Studio LUMI to publish the rest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for new Little LUMI Model owners.
What are the six affection stage names?
Studio LUMI has not published a full public table. A Home tab example showed current stage Getting used to you and next stage Opening up. Trust the two labels on your own Home tab.
What increases affection?
Days spent together and head pats. Rub the top of her head until the cursor becomes a hand. Store copy does not list gifts, chat mods, or extra Lumis as affection inputs.
What does 4/5 head pats mean?
It is a quota toward the next increment, not four of six stages. In the launch example the bar sat at 4/5 with 78 stories waiting at Opening up.
Do pomodoros raise affection?
Home tracks pomodoros next to days and pats, but store copy names days and head pats as the six-stage inputs. Finish cycles in focus mode; do not treat the timer as a hidden cheat.
Do I need LUMI Chat to hear new lines?
No. Stages unlock mumbles in speech bubbles. The Voice Pack adds recorded voice to self-talk and meeting chats. LUMI Chat is a separate optional mod with an API key.
