[0.14.4] Smooth Operator: Ashley - A proper guide

I see in community that there are a lot of unknowns about this opportunity.

So let me spoil how this opportunity works.

To finish it, you need to gain 5 "trust points" with Ashley.

1-2) Two are gained in dialogue, by talking good about Derek and Brittney with Ashley

3) One is gained by securing Ashley's top

4) One is gained by spilling Natty Lite on Madison. You need to be aware of Madison spilling beer on Ashley by starting Humiliate Ashley opportunity.
Note that if you suggest Ashley that you will wash her clothes, that this option will get removed. This response happens after giving towel to Ashley, so watch out.

5) One is gained by making Brittney come to Stephanie. Note that if you have not talked to Ashley about Brittney, this will give 2 points instead

Now, regarding 4 and 5, if Ashley is occupied by some other game contend that makes her unable to come to you, you will miss these reactions and ability to gain extra trust by them. For example, if Ashley is naked waiting for her clothes, she will just not go to you to tell you how great are you for helping Brittney.


One more thing: To actually get dialogue from Ashley that invites you to her room, some other game content needs not to be running.
Some less obvious content blockers include:
1) Giving diary to Ashley (but it gets unblocked if you wash her clothes and give them back)
2) Having master bedroom occupied by other story content (not sure why, but that check is there)

.

Note that by playing smart, you could actually complete Smooth Operator, Change of Heart and Sibling Warfare all in same playthrough. It's not easy, since it is very easy for these opportunities to block each other, but it is doable.
