Purchase the Luxury bed at the mall for 200 [[File:Money.png|25px]]. This will allow you to get up at 6:00 a.m. fully rested, without an alarm, provided you go to sleep at 23:00.

*07:00: Watch TV or do a chore
*08:00: Kitchen with Bree, compliment her (free action, once per day), this will either increase [[File:love.png||24px]] or decrease it but we're going to get it back immediately anyway, talk to her.

*20:00: Eat with the girls
*21:00: TV with Sasha (if you have enough [[File:love.png||24px]] with her)
*23:00: Sleep
Other good starting choices include (once you’ve worked a bit and built up some cash) buying gym clothes and going to the gym to train, or buying fancy clothes and going to the nightclub to party (only available late at night) to build up [[File:charm.png|25px]]. Going to the university to build up [[File:knowledge.png|25px]] is also valuable early. If you want to avoid Kylie (the Yandere character), she will not trigger until 7 days played. Kylie also does not become generally available until after Mike has 30 [[File:charm.png|25px]], so raising [[File:knowledge.png|25px]] to max first and then raising [[File:charm.png|25px]] can keep Kylie at bay.


Be warned that starting on the second week, if you go to the Dark Alley after 22:00 you will encounter Danny. If you have less than 50 [[File:fitness.png|25px]], (or less than 25 [[File:fitness.png|25px]] with martial arts skill) you will lose 500 [[File:Money.png|25px]], so do not do this encounter on a Sunday night!

Revision as of 05:19, 13 November 2022

Your story starts in a user-selected season of the year. If you roam around the city you have access to various locations like the cinema, the office and the mall. Locations like the beach and the waterpark can only be accessed during a specific season (more information on the page locations) and only if you possess the necessary items. The accessibility will change through the seasons. As soon as you hit fall, beach and waterpark are closed. Swimming in the pool will be impossible by fall also.

Some characters have special locations for certain events or dates. E.g. Morgan needs to have a date in the waterpark to progress her story. Alexis needs a beach date. Lexi has a pool event too.

Here is a little guide to give you a better start.

Daily routine

Advancing quickly in the game requires getting your attributes up and having a lot of money. As a result, a good early daily schedule includes working a lot and spending time practicing your skills, while at the same time increasing with your roommates. Here is a good recommended schedule to start with.

Purchase the Luxury bed at the mall for 200 . This will allow you to get up at 6:00 a.m. fully rested, without an alarm, provided you go to sleep at 23:00.

  • 06:00: Wake up (set the alarm) and shower, Bree will ask you to leave, this will net you with her if you are hung.
  • 07:00: Watch TV or do a chore
  • 08:00: Kitchen with Bree, compliment her (free action, once per day), this will either increase or decrease it but we're going to get it back immediately anyway, talk to her.
  • 09:00: Kitchen with Sasha, compliment her (free action, once per day), eat with her, also drink the coffee (your should be 8 which brings you right back at 10 for free)
  • 10:00: Office, work hard
  • 14:00: Office, work hard
  • 18:00: Text every girl in your contact list that is not at max . You should call and chat with the ones that can gain or, if desired, for chatting.
  • 18:00: Home: either TV with Bree (if you have enough with her) or wait for 2 hours (your fun levels are too low to do anything else)
  • 20:00: Eat with the girls
  • 21:00: TV with Sasha (if you have enough with her)
  • 23:00: Sleep

Other good starting choices include (once you’ve worked a bit and built up some cash) buying gym clothes and going to the gym to train, or buying fancy clothes and going to the nightclub to party (only available late at night) to build up . Going to the university to build up is also valuable early. If you want to avoid Kylie (the Yandere character), she will not trigger until 7 days played. Kylie also does not become generally available until after Mike has 30 , so raising to max first and then raising can keep Kylie at bay.

Be warned that starting on the second week, if you go to the Dark Alley after 22:00 you will encounter Danny. If you have less than 50 , (or less than 25 with martial arts skill) you will lose 500 , so do not do this encounter on a Sunday night!

Knowing the characters

If you want to "pause" a storyline, just ignore the fact, that you met the character. With one exception, avoidance is the easiest way to not proceed a character story.

The Roommates

Sasha and Bree are the first two characters that you will met, and reading about them will help you at the start. Keep in mind that there are some actions that can't be undone and will prevent you from reaching certain content. Regarding these two characters, the gaming and guitar skills are relevant.

Avoiding Kylie

Kylie has a special mechanic. You met her twice at the university, the first time requires at least 7 days played, and the second one requires 30 . If you want to avoid her (at least for now), you can avoid the university after you reach that level. The university is also the best way to increase your , so you may want to max it first before raising your .

Prevent locking characters

Most of the characters content can be locked somehow, they may leave the game or they (or the main character) can be friend-zoned. Each characters page describes this.

Additionally, there are some characters whose content can be locked by advancing other characters story passed some point, and this is harder to keep track.

First Dates

Under normal conditions you will have the first date with Sasha. After this date, you have two choices how to proceed. Either you advance the story step by step or try to handle them all.

I suggest to go step by step. Try to concentrate on Sasha, Bree and Morgan. Morgan's story should be proceeded to the waterpark date as soon as possible. Once you reach this point you can leave her storyline until Kleio pops in. At this point you will have to carefully proceed both stories.

If everything runs smoothly, you will trigger the Sasha-Events soon enough to proceed her story. The special stories like Boob-Job and Mike loves Blondes will come soon enough.

Bree also will proceed early enough to reach most of the events during the first two seasons (if they are summer, fall),

Season-critical

Some of the events will only happen if you're in the right season.

Season location requirement Story? additional info
Alexis Summer Beach car/sports car ✅  one time event
Audrey Spring/Summer Waterpark swimsuit ✅  one time event
Bree Summer Beach car/sports car ❌  repeatable event
Morgan Spring/Summer Waterpark swimsuit ✅  one time event
The Master Summer Beach any vehicle teaches you martial-arts
Shark-chan Summer Beach any vehicle Meet Shark-chan
Bear-kun Spring/Summer/Fall Forest 20:00 - 06:00, < 3 Meet Bear-kun
Minami Summer Beach vehicle & swimsuit ✅  one time event (necessary for her story)
Spring/Summer Waterpark swimsuit

Camila winter park date

Kylie winter Christmas event

(These two links link to the event on the wiki page of the character.)

If you start the game in summer you'll have to focus on working and playing through Alexis' story to trigger her summer event at the beginning of your play-through. Otherwise you'll have to wait for one year until you can progress with Alexis' story (the same is true for Morgan and Audrey).

In Minami's case you have to play through a series of dates in order to increase her LP cap (after Angela's visit).

Cheating

As you may have read in some forum, there is a way to cheat the game. But I will not tell you how. Anyway, if you found out how, you are able to manipulate certain values. Some events are protected against cheating and are impossible to reach once you have changed the characters' values. So be careful on whom you cheat.

Never manipulate Mike, Sasha or Bree.

Also we do not recommend to use the console to directly manipulate values. This may lead to unexpected behavior of the game.
