Playboy: The Mansion

To paraphrase the opening song of the game, what would you give to live in the Playboy Mansion for a year? Would you give up all your money? Your girlfriend or wife (presuming they wouldn't leave you anyway)? Could you give up your friends to be surrounded by the most gorgeous women on the planet?

Of course you could! And before that particular fantasy comes true, you'll be able to practice Hef's lifestyle in Playboy: The Mansion. But as IGN Cube editor Juan Castro wrote, it's not all just Buddies and Boobies; Hef has a Business to run. It can get a little complex, but we at IGN can handle anything Playboy can throw at us. And anything Playboy: The Mansion can throw at us.

In this guide, you'll get information on how to successfully run the Playboy empire, along with a walkthrough to get you through the missions. We'll have all the strategies you'll need accompanied by plenty of helpful screenshots. With our help, you'll be living the high life with few things distracting you from all the topless women!

Roster Character Editor – Allows you to edit the name and appearance of all fictional staff members and celebrities. Note that ratings, specialties, and occupations cannot be edited.

Hint: Making Parties Last
By removing all your doors to an enclosed area celebrities will have no choice but to listen to what ever you have to say. This means an easier way to get interviews, photo shoots, essays, ect. Just because they're tired doesn't mean they won't do these things. Make sure you have enough money to get new doors installed if you what the party to end.

Glitch: Reclaim Lost Wages
Throw a party and ask someone to do an interview a couple of seconds before the party will end. The journalist won't be able to finish that interview. After the party has ended click on the journalist when he comes in and you will notice that the "Ask to write article" won't appear. Now click on "fire staff" and you'll hear "ka'ching", click no and if I'm right your money will increase with the amount you've spent on that journalist. I've discovered this by coincidence, so I hope this will work for everybody. Anyway, it's worth to try it out, I think.
