I completely suck at this game... Gahhh!I had no idea how hard this game was going to be.. 😭 I keep not having enough for rent I am currently trying to win hikaru's heart atm.. no luck.. for the auditions your starting to need traits but the books are expensive.. Anyone have any tips for me? Please! 🙇♀️
When I first start, I try and get all the auditions to build up some money - if you buy a computer for your room you can practice characterization and technique at night for free, which helps. Do the shady job at the mall to get an extra 10,000. I also build up my charm at night so I can get the modelling job (you can get it when your charm is alluring from the guy in the movie theater - you can get 6,000 twice a week, which basically pays your rent.)
I guess my main tip is focus on auditions first and making money, because as you gain fame the jobs pay more and more and then you can take more time to harass your chosen guy and buy him things on dates, which seems essential. I didn't miss any auditions throughout, and money became less and less of a concern.
Oh, and my secondary tip is to romance shuu first, because that gives you the cheat of max money for all the other playthroughs... but comes at the risk of wanting to romance him for all the other playthroughs, because he is *cute*. :D
Hope that helps!
Try taking extra classes from time to time in the VA school during the daytime to help with you VA stat problem or use the computer/sing in the shower/bathtub during Sundays to get higher stat points. Other traits can be found in the bookstore (buy the book with the trait needed for the audition and read it at night) and the restaurant (eat the food with the trait you need).
The computer is in the store right behind the mascot in the mall - when you go in there, pick to buy furniture. Then up on the top right you should see different categories like bedding, electronics, etc. Cheapest computer is 15,000 and lets you practice characterization or technique and play video games... and watch porn. ;)
The more expensive beds just raise how much stress you lose when sleeping, so I usually don't bother with those, but when you get more money you can eventually also buy a shower or tub there (that raises singing) and a TV (that raises knowledge).
