The aim of the game is to build the famed Playboy Empire from scratch, starting from a humble magazine to celebrity endorsements to home entertainment to Internet website to merchandise. This game,unlike the expansion pack, contains no sexual references or nudity.(Wikipedia)GAMPLAY HINTSPublishingWhen you start, you will have $100,000. Do not spend any on cheats or furniture. Focus only on the magazine at the moment. It costs at least $80,000 to get your magazine made. If you want someone very famous, then wait for awhile. After a long wait, throw a party and invite the person over. After that, raise your relationship with him or her. Invite him or her to the inner circle. End the party and call that person. Once they are at the mansion, ask them for a interview, essay, etc. The magazine is now slightly better.Better photoshootsIf you take a picture of a girl while she is winking (so that the picture has one eye closed), it will boost your photoshoot. Variety is the key to a great photoshoot. Get pics both on and off the bed, couch, or prop. Get some clothed and some topless. Get objects in as many pictures as possible. Get as many winks and raised eyebrows as possible. Also, fit them in the picture both close and far off.If you want a good photoshoot, introduce the model to your photographer and make sure they become friends. Then, do your photoshoot. The same goes for interviews and your journalist. You will get a better interview if they are friends. Increase IntelligenceGet your journalist to follow you. Take them up to a bookshelf and tell them to "Use". Repeat this many times. Eventually you will have increase their Intelligence. This also works with everyone in the game.Just like how you can raise your photographers and writers intellect by making them follow you and telling them to use bookshelves, you can also do for Hef. His intelligence will also rise, but it sometimes will not work for the different bookshelves.Enter to the upstairs office with a writer. Make them write an article about anything using the desk. This will increase their Intelligence. If you have purchased the better desk, it will increase faster. Please note: You have to remain with them while they are writing the article.Increase PhysiqueHave your Playmate follow you to a piece of sports equipment. Tell them to "Use". Repeat this several times. Eventually they will have a high Physique. This also works on everyone in the game.Increase CharmTo increase the Charm of people, have them follow you to a mirror and tell them to "Use". Repeat this several times.The games' intro has all the spice and sugar needed to make a man's day better:
