Using Happy

Happy plays a role in all aspects of the game.

However, it's primarily used or maintained for improved gym gains. Happy significantly impacts gym gains, especially when your stats are at a lower level.

In Crimes 1.0, happiness increased success rates, but the effect wouldn't have been that noticeable. Within Crimes 2.0, happiness increases crime skill and experience gains, not success rates. The exact amount that happiness improves gains has not been revealed. Source: https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/2552
