25% ie.: once every 4 tries for the DDC, sounds reasonably considering it is a very strong, almost magic, "potion", also the chance gets higher after every time it is accepted.
But is it rly 25% chance? Or does it depend on other factors as well? Or is it just my luck?
I tried the DDC 20, and more, times a row with one character and it never was accepted. By another character it was accepted the second time.
Turning the tables with the dominant characters might be the most requested feature, just behind more options for Marriage (Divorce). Both of which have been confirmed to be implemented!

I’ve only managed to get it to work once but I think that was because she was already going to be moved to the care home the next day anyway so she accepted. The care workers also will always accept it.
I agree that 25% chance is reasonable but I am convinced it’s bugged since trying repeatedly on one girl for over 20 days she never accepted. The chance they say yes definitely does not increase, from testing it may even be decreasing, hence the reason they never accept. Crazy that you got one of them to take it on your second try.
I have even gotten them to take it in the carehome, then used weight loss medication to get them back out the carehome and then offered it again since I thought once they had had it they would 100% take it again but sadly not. They never accepted again. :(
No problem! If the girl refuses the concentrate, you suffer a hit to affection, but the success chance isn't changed as it's fixed and unaffected by anything else (as you identified).
As the concentrate is so powerful, I wanted to ensure it retains a low success chance, regardless of any upgrades or affection modifiers. It's tricky, as I don't want it to replace the core game feeding mechanics, but at the same time, I don't want it to be too frustrating to use. I may need to tweak it further in the future.
