• To keep people happy, make sure all six of their drives are satisfied.
• You will have better success at talking to people if they are in a good mood first.
• Most items depreciate with time, so selling them will only get you a fraction of the original purchase price.
• You can unlock clothing, items and even new regions of the Mansion by completing goals.
• You can view your goals on the Hef Screen.
• The quality of your magazine content depends on the skills of the staff involved, the fame of any celebrities involved, and some other factors depending on the type of content.
• You need six pieces of magazine content to publish a magazine. Articles can be requested from your Journalists. Pictorials can be requested from your Photographers. Centerfolds require a Photographer and a Playmate. Essays can be requested from any Celebrity. Interviews require a Celebrity and a Journalist. Cover Shots require a female Celebrity and a Photographer.
• Some items satisfy multiple drives at once. Experiment with a variety of items to see their effects.
• Certain items can increase the user's Skills (Physique, Intellect or Charm) permanently. Telling your staff to use these items will increase the quality of the magazine content they produce.
• When any character (even Hef) is talking to someone of much higher fame, their conversation is more likely to fail.
• The success of a party is based on how many people are attending, and how high their moods are. To throw better parties, invite more people or keep them happier.
• Items with a high Room Value will slightly enhance the moods of everyone in the same room.
• Always check your magazine demographic screen at the beginning of the month.

• Consider adjusting the items in a room to match your needs in the Photoshoot. Models will split their time posing with the different items (beds, chairs, sofas). If you are looking for a reclining centerfold, stack the room with sofas and beds. If you're looking for a standing centerfold, minimize the number of chairs.
• To improve the lighting in a photoshoot, place a number of lights behind the camera. By placing them off screen, you'll increase the light in a scene without adding visual clutter to the shot.
• When entering a photoshoot, make sure the setting works before taking any pictures. If you don't take any photos, you can cancel out of the photoshoot, adjust the scene and ask the same model to pose again. If you take any photos, however bad they might be, that model will have fulfilled her contract and won't pose again!
• Mixing floor types can add a ton of visual flare.
• Paintings and decorative objects do matter.
