The biggest mistake is thinking every skip-time action guarantees an immediate new invitation. There is a repeating quest system, but conversation messages and quest state still matter.
See the simple timing rules.

Repeatable apartment hangouts
Cooldown is in-game time, not a real-world countdown; the quest message may not trigger solely by repeatedly skipping time.
Do this in order.
A direct walkthrough without unnecessary detours.
Finish the relationship’s prerequisite story.
The repeatable hangout is for an existing eligible in-game partner.
Check your phone and journal.
Look for the repeatable apartment hangout quest or a message about meeting.
Choose one of V’s eligible apartments.
Megabuilding H10, Northside, Japantown, The Glen and Corpo Plaza are the familiar options.
Complete the ordinary hangout.
Activities vary by apartment, including conversations, listening to music, sitting together and other non-competitive home interactions.
Continue playing before inviting again.
Wait roughly two in-game days and check messages; quest state, not just a number, controls the next invitation.
What can you do in each home?
H10 has V’s original layout and distinctive mirror interactions. Japantown and Northside provide more compact settings. The Glen offers extra living space, while Corpo Plaza has a more premium interior. Showers, dance interactions and resting are context-dependent and not every animation appears identically everywhere.
Quick questions.
Can I use Judy’s or Kerry’s personal home?
The repeating invitations are for V’s eligible apartments, not every character-owned home.
Does the cooldown run in real hours?
No. The commonly reported gap is in-game time.
Is every partner available on every save?
No. It depends on relationship and quest choices.
