==Recommendations ==
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 [[File:love.png||24px]] with your roommates. Here is a good recommended schedule to start with.
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.
*06:00: Wake up (set the alarm) and shower, Bree will ask you to leave, this will net you [[File:love.png||24px]] 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 [[File:love.png||24px]] 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 [[File:energy.png|24x24px]] 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 [[File:love.png||24px]]. You should call and chat with the ones that can gain [[File:love.png||24px]] or, if desired, [[File:sub.png||24px]] for chatting.
*18:00: Home: either TV with Bree (if you have enough [[File:love.png||24px]] 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 [[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!
