give you a basic understanding of how simGangster works. When
you have mastered this you will be able to go on to harder cities
with greater rewards.
Following are some short tips on attaining qualification levels

Main strategy guide (focused on New York)
I will concentrate on New York as a training ground, as it has enough
activities to provide a varied daily routine, as well as having
enough days to build a good score.
Following the strategy should get you to at least two million, but
expect to exceed three to four million with a little practice.
First a few ground rules.
Watch the weather
Read all information displayed to you, and heed the sting operation
warning.
Build the levels
In all of the cities you need to find out which activities provide
the best points per day, this is very different to making the most
money.
For New York the activities that we will pursue will be
Chillin, which will increase health and reduce the wanted level.
Muggin which will get money and increase our violence.
Drug Dealing which will make money and may increase your Haggle
levels.
Vandalism which will increase Violence and Respect.
Burglary which can increase various levels, including escape, stealth
and autotheft.
Stealing Cars which will increase autotheft, haggling and escape
levels.
Day 1
Objective: Get some money to buy a weapon.
Activities: 5 Hours Muggin Old Ladies and 5 Hours Muggin Students
Outcome: You should have enough money to buy Nunchukas
Bank the remainder of the money
Review your health, wanted level, and the weather.
Day 2
Objective: get some health & reduce the wanted level, without
decreasing violence level.
Activities: Chillin 2Hrs Sleeping, 3Hrs Music, 2Hrs Sleeping, 3Hrs
Music. >
Outcome: Health +2, IQ +2, Karma +2, Wanted –2
Review your health, wanted level, and the weather.
Day 3
Objective: Get some respect to open up the opportunity to carry
out more activities.
Activities: 4hrs Vandalising Businesses,
2Hrs Burglary, 4Hrs Vandalising Businesses
Outcome: Respect +2, Violence +2 and any
bonus from Burglary.
Bank your money.
Review your health, wanted level, and
the weather.
Day
4
Objective: Get some points.
Now it gets difficult to provide a walkthrough approach.
You should now have the ability to go and steal some cars, you
may also have
enough respect to deal in drugs (But not enough money), and your
burglary
skills may have increased.
If the Weather is Sunny then feel free to go out Muggin. (5Hrs
Old Ladies, 5Hrs Students)
If there is a storm or it is snowing, then Steal some Family Cars
all day.
You
should proceed through each of the following days with this Strategy.
Muggin will get money, as will stealing cars. As soon as you can
afford it, buy a bigger weapon and always bank your cash.
If your health is decreasing then chill by sleeping for two hours
only, any more will affect your violence levels.
If you are not hard enough or you can’t escape from the
cops then chill by listening to some music to reduce your wanted
levels.
As your auto-theft level increases, then go for the next level
of car. Auto-Theft >3 then try Luxury Cars, Auto-Theft >
7 then try Sports Cars.
As you get some spare cash you will be able to do some Drug Dealing.
You will need cash, respect and haggling to do so successfully.
Do NOT do Drug Dealing if you can’t get away from the cops,
as you will lose a lot of money and points if you get busted.
Burglary can build up your escape levels, so that you have more
of a chance to run from the police.
Stealing Cars can also build up your escape levels.
If you get caught by the police in the first few hours of the
day, then feel free to give up. Your wanted level will reduce
by two and you will continue the day.
As your violence increases, and you get a machine gun, then Mug
criminals in the evening. Grannies are only around in the afternoon,
students in the evening and Professionals all day.
Match your activity to the weather and your levels for maximum
points.
Back to list
Los Angeles.
Target Score: 150,000
Spend the first four days chilling and mugging to generate enough
cash to buy yourself a machine gun.
Try out sleeping for different lengths of time to see what works
best for your style of Gangstering.
Once you have a Machine Gun you should be able to fight the cops,
as they are just big pussies in Los Angeles, and go for bigger targets
when mugging.
Spend the last day Mugging, and once again try out different combinations
of targets.
Back
to list
San
Fransisco
Target Score: 200,000
Spend the first three days chilling and mugging to generate enough
cash to buy yourself a machine gun.
Practise the techniques that you learnt in Los Angeles
Once you have a Machine Gun you should be able to fight the cops
as they are also big pussies in SF, and don’t forget to go
for bigger targets when mugging.
There is a slight chance of losing against the cops, so do make
sure you have good health and have your money stashed away in the
bank.
In San Fransisco you will get Sting Operations if you carry out
the same activities for too many days, so try out Burglary and Stealing
Cars.
Do not get caught in a sting operation, it is very bad for your
score.
Read all of the Donny’s Dilemmas and decide for yourself.
Back to list
Chicago
Target Score: 200,000
Chicago takes totally different strategies to be successful, getting
started is tough and the cops are tougher.
Until you know that you can deal with the cops you should always
give up, or if you have enough money then bribe them.
Early on, you will need to learn how to pick pockets to generate
cash. Try out each of the targets in different locations during
varying times of the day, and always read the information being
displayed in “Today’s Report”, there may well
be some very useful tips.
You will need to learn how each drug affects your skill levels,
for instance
Mayhem can increase your respect, which is needed to carry out other
activities.
When doing drugs always make sure you have enough cash and enough
health to survive.
Put into practise some of the activities that you learnt in New
York.
To carry out Auto Hijacking you will need to have a decent weapon,
high violence, and some autotheft skills. To Hijack trucks you will
need very high Autotheft skills, but trucks do generate a good return
for your effort.
Above all, watch your health.
Back to list
Detroit
Target Score: 300,000
Detroit is very similar to New York, only it has more activities
for you to learn and of course the Cops are a little more mean.
Until you know that you can deal with the cops you should always
give up, or if you have enough money then bribe them.
Watch the weather very carefully and try to spend the first few
days generating cash as you did in New York. You can’t use
Vandalising to force up your respect levels, so you may need to
revert to drugs, putting into practise what you learnt in Chicago.
This is the first city in which you can carry out Robberies. As
with all of the other activities spend a little time learning what
targets to hit at what times of the day, and of course what skill
levels you will need to be successful. You will need to watch your
IQ, Mojo, Violence and Respect, and of course don’t forget
a decent weapon.
You have 25 days in which to build a decent score, so do spend some
time early on watching your wanted levels and your health.
Sometimes variety is the spice of life.
Back to list
Seattle
Target Score: 5,000,000
Seattle is a very difficult city to get going on, as for the first
time you do not have the option to chill.
You will need to explore additional skills to achieve your goals.
The most straightforward way to increase you health is to visit
the hospital, and if money is not a problem then always go for the
private hospital, as you are guaranteed very good treatment. Obviously
if you are short on cash then try out the other two options, but
you do get what you pay for.
The easiest way of avoiding the Cops is to keep your wanted level
at a minimum, but if you’re a really bad gangster then that
is not always possible. The simplest thing to do with the Cops is
to ‘give up’. This reduces your wanted level by two
and you get to continue the day. If you want to get arrested just
to ‘give up’ then hang around the cop station for a
bit, you might be lucky and find some health as well, but don’t
forget to carry some cash with you.
The best time to visit the hospital is at the end of a day when
you have been carrying out high cash activities, such as Robbing.
That way you can buy health and not lose so many points.
Once you have learnt how to obtain health and to avoid the cops
then the remainder of the activities you should already be familiar
with, put into practise everything you have learnt so far.
