Kim Kardashian Hollywood tips

I'm not a huge game fan on my iPhone 5, but once in a while I come across a game I genuinely like. The Kim Kardashian Hollywood app is an app I never though I'd play for longer than a week. The game objective is, your newly moved into Los Angeles, and you happen to be friends with Kim Kardashian. She utilizes her fame to allow you to grow as a future celebrity. One of the first tasks is to work at her store, earn money, energy, and attention. As time goes on, you move onto working in small photo shoots, to national spreads, and even interviews. I am now a B-list "celebrity" and I am working the tedious task of runways. As the game progresses, you get perks to flying to different states such as New York City, and Las Vegas; and countries around the world. Essentially the more connections you have, the more you become noticed. In addition, it is imperative to speak only positively amongst other people in the industry as your fame can dwindle down rapidly. Here are some key tips, and tricks you can utilize in the Kim Kardashian Hollywood app.



1) Save your energy
This is a large complaint if you search the reviews on this game; energy. Essentially, you're given energy appearing as lightning bolts, set with a limit of 24. This energy is used to complete tasks within the project you accept and dwindles down fairly quickly. If you use all of your energy, you will have to wait  30 minutes to 2 hours before being able to complete another task. It is time consuming; use your energy wisely and pay attention to how long your project will take. If you have 1 hour left on the project, use some; but if you are down to minutes - save!

2) Be picky on the tasks you choose
In the beginning of the game you will be assigned a manger, his name is Simon. After you progress, you will be assigned a second manager named Maria. Both are vital in this game, however Simon is your go-to. He will call you to set up projects to complete such as national photo shoot spreads, to low profile photo shoot spreads. There is a difference, so pick wisely. In addition, you will be able to complete appearances, and interviews all within a time frame. If you feel you can and will benefit from your project to increase fame, then I suggest in doing so.

3) Meet people
I wish I had noticed this sooner .... meeting people allows you to gain connection. You can call someone in the business while you are on a project; for example, if you are famous enough to participate in a runway show, you can call a friend who is in the industry (i.e. model) to join you. This will give you a chance to earn more stars on your performance. 

4) Memorize locations and cities
Early in the game you are given basic cities within California to travel to. As you gain fame, you are able to travel to NYC, Las Vegas, and tropical places. Eventually when you progress, your manager assumes you know where said location is and won't tell you the location, only the name of the building. To save travel costs (because it's not free,) memorize where you have to go.

5) Invest in nice clothes
It is humorous reading the comments you receive from other famous people in the game. You will be faced with insults on your outfit but don't feel bad, you are not alone. I suggest saving money and splurging a little. Buy nice dresses and outfits that correspond to the event you need to attend. 

6) Be careful with gossip
I was so close to becoming a C list celebrity - like literally, I was shy away from one positive feedback and boom, I would have been that more famous. But no, you see. I had an 'interview', and he asked my relationship with Willow Page (you will meet her in the game) and I clicked "no comment", as in I have nothing to say but it doesn't really give you an answer to your question. He interpreted it negatively, and essentially blasted me on social media thus I lost 100,000 fans. I was devastated.


7) Aim for four stars
Try to aim for four stars while completing projects. This will ensure your fame, money, and fans (sounds cruel, right?). Majority of your projects take 2 hours, unless you're on a date or interview - make notice to time, energy, and how much energy a task will take because this effects performance. If you choose to use your energy on a task that takes away 1 energy, you will earn one star - if you choose a task that takes away 8 energy bolts, you will earn eight stars. 

8) Save your money! 

Save your money! You can buy multiple properties within the game - this is also suggested to boost fame and fortune. Be aware of what you are spending and how much. I was able to buy So Chic boutique, and a condo in Hollywood through being frugal and sacrificing energy for opportunities I knew will benefit long-term.
