Lego Fortnite Brick Lifeis the Lego Fortnite social simulator life sim, all set in the Lego world. As a mode, it’s entirely unrelated to the Lego Fortnite Odyssey survival-style game mode, but it does share some similarities, such as builds and items that are available in both.

Spawning into the world of Lego Fortnite Brick Life for the first time can be a little bit overwhelming; there’s a city full of different things to do, from exploring the suburbs to discovering domestic bliss. You’ll be on your feet in no time, especially with these tips to get you started.

Finding money on the edge of a building in Lego Fortnite Brick Life.

Where To Find Money

There’smoney lying all over the placearound the city. Some of this is pretty visible, simply lying on the ground, while other times, that money is hidden relatively well.

Occasionally,you’ll need to parkour across some buildings to grab the money, which awards you anywhere between10–100 dollars. This might not seem like a lot, but with so much lying around, it will add up.

These piles of moneyrespawn every few minutesin theexact same places. If you’d like, you couldtravel a path through the city, collecting money the entire time.

This isn’t usually as lucrative as working a job, but it can benice to do between tasksif you need money fast.

If you’re looking tomake money quickly, do both of the trending jobs every in-game day.These jobs becomeactive at 9 am and run until 5 pmevery day in the city, and it is perfectly possible to do both of them very quickly.

These jobs take around a couple of minutes each, leaving you the rest of the day to do whatever you’d like. But, theyaward 4 times the money that regular jobsdo, at2,000 per task.

Give People Food, Don’t Place Food

Certain jobs, likeSushi Chefand theFast Food jobs, have tasks that tell you to either place food on display for a customer to grab or give the food directly to a customer.

It’salways better to hand the food to a customerbecause the customer is going to give you aten-dollar tip for doing so. It’s slight, but that will be 510 instead of 500 for the task (or 2,010 if it was a trending job), and that adds up over time.

Take A Break To Quit Your Job

Taking a breakfrom whatever job you’ve chosen isn’t really taking a break; it essentiallyquits the jobfor the time being. You won’t get any texts from your boss about coming in for a task, and you’ll befree to pick up any other job you’d like.

You can alsoreturn to that job anytime; they hold no ill will towards you for taking some time away. This is agood way to check out multiple jobsto find something that you like doing.

Do Tasks For Citizens

Talking to citizensaround the city is sometimes going to end up with themasking you to do a task. While it isn’t explicitly clear, thesetasks work exactly like a job, other than the fact that you aren’t employed by the citizen afterward.

But, the task they’d like you to do is displayed in the top right of your screen in the same way, andthey award you the same amount of moneyafter completing it:500 dollars. This is less consistent income than a job, but it does give some variety to making money.

Don’t Log Out To Change Your Skin

Changing the Lego skin you have equippeddoesn’t require logging out; instead,head to a phone booth. There are multiple phone booths throughout the city, butnot every phone booth does what you’re looking for.

Specifically, you’llneed tofind a blue phone booth. When heading towards it, it’ll have the option toChange Outfitinstead of justHide. From here, you may change things like your skin, emotes, instruments, and more.

This is particularly nice, considering logging out of the session will unclaim your plot. You won’t have to worry about finding a suitable place for your house again because you won’t have to log out.

Save Up Early For Decorations

Buying decorations might look cheap when you see that many of them cost less than 200 dollars overall. But buying that decorationdoesn’t work like buying a blueprint, allowing you to place it down as many times as you’d like.

You’llneed to buy one each of every decoration that you intend to use. That adds up very quickly, even if you’re using the same decoration often. Not all decorations cost 180, but many do;using 180 as an average to hit the maximum of 150 decorationspossible in a house, you’d need27,000 dollars.

Managing Multiple Houses

you may haveas many houses as you’d likein Brick Life, butyou can only have one house placed down at a time. You can change them at your leisure by going to your mailbox, unclaiming a lot, and then reclaiming it with your new house, butany decorations you had placed in your previous house are going to be unavailable in your new one.

Even though you technically would only have the decoration placed once, since you only have one house placed at a time,you’ll need to remove the decoration from the old house to place it in the new one. You can do this byselecting Remove All Decorationswhen claiming a lot, or you cando it individually from the Edit menuwhen inside your house.

Fortunately, you canplace your house on any empty lotyou’d like, andit will save your decoration locations in the house, so you don’t have to place them down again each time you move.
