Career Guide 1: early game
In Career Mode you do jobs to earn money and RP. Money is used to buy more equipment, upgrade your HQ, and hire employees. RP determines your level. Higher levels will open more jobs, allow you to hire more employees, let you take bigger loans from the bank, and unlock things in Challenge Mode and Free Mow Mode. There are six main RP levels, each with five sub-levels, before you hit the final level. You start out at rank Newcomer. After that is Credible, then Established, then Trusted, then Professional, then Esteemed. After Esteemed 5, you reach the level of Distinguished, which has no sub-levels. At that point you are basically the greatest landscaper on the planet. :)Start out by picking your main character's face, your company name, your uniform shirt and hat colors and logo. This has no effect on gameplay other than what you look like, and your employees will wear the same shirt and hat as your main character (but their names and faces will be randomized).Day 1 - you need to choose a mower and a trimmer to start your new company right. I recommend starting with the little black Knight OFS1 mulcher mower and the cheapest trimmer, because you'll need to save your money for the next two weeks but the Knight brand mowers are the only ones that drive safely and realistically - the other brands all have glitchy controls. Once you have your equipment, pick a job and go get it done.Note that some jobs require specific mowers, or have other rules in place. Make sure you read the job description before you accept the job, and make sure you have the right mower to get it done!!There are "two and a half" phases to a job in Career Mode. First is the Ground Check, where you can run around and find all the hidden junk on the lawn before you mow. Finding all the items will give you an extra $20 and a few RP after the job is done. If you get on the mower or pick up the trimmer, you can skip the ground check but then you lose out on that extra cash and RP. It only takes a couple of minutes anyway, so might as well do it. Then you mow. If you have a "collector deck" on your mower then you will have to empty it whenever the hopper fills up - the "trash can" icon in the bottom right will turn red when it gets close to full, and you'll hear an alarm when it is full. Back it up to the big green bags near your truck, hold A button to empty your hopper. (Hopper is just a fancy word for container.) If you keep mowing while the hopper is full, you'll leave grass clippings behind that you must then pick up or run it over with the mower or trimmer again, just like a "discharge deck" style mower. After you mow, take the trimmer around and hit the little spots that you missed with the mower (around trees and flower beds and such). To use the trimmer you have to tilt the camera view ALL THE WAY DOWN do if your character had feet you would be staring at them. With the view tilted even a little bit up, you don't cut the grass at the right height. When the job is done, BACK UP your mower onto the trailer, put your trimmer back on the truck, and get in the truck to end the job.The rest of the first week will be similar - keep doing jobs every day until you save up $. At that point, go to your HQ menu and upgrade your office to get a second mower bay. After you pay for it, it will take SEVEN DAYS to complete the upgrade's construction.Week 2 - similar to week 1 - keep doing jobs every day and save your money while you wait for your HQ upgrade to finish.Week 3 - Your upgrade should be done, hooray! Now you will need $22,500 for the Knight OST mower, and a little extra for the mulching plate attachment for it. You should also get a second trimmer. Then go hire an employee. If you have any money left, assign the employee to a training program (one per day) and then send him on a job. Then go do another job yourself. Remember to setup TRAINING and WORK for your employee every day. Also remember that payday is FRIDAY so make sure you have the employee's salary in your bank when you leave for work on Friday.Your next major goal will be to save up enough to buy the next HQ ($160,000), which will allow you to purchase another mower. Until then, you can hire one more employee if you so choose BUT without more mowers they cannot go on jobs which means they collect a salary every week without actually working for you. You can train them though, if you really want to start leveling them up early. So for the time being you have your little mulching mower and your big discharge/mulcher mower and one employee.You can experiment with taking out ads to increase your RP, but that costs money so I don't recommend messing with it this early in the game. RP is easy enough to earn by working regular jobs. The main point of RP is to unlock more jobs in Challenge Mode, allow you to hire that other employee, and to unlock higher-paying jobs in Career Mode.Weeks 4 & 5 - Your real goal will be to reach $160,000 to buy a new HQ (or even save up to $175,000 for the bigger one first). If you get close, you can take a loan from the bank... but I don't recommend it because the interest rates are so high. So basically these two weeks will be simple - just go mow some lawns and save your money....But wait! You don't actually have to pay full price for a new HQ building. You will sell the current HQ when you purchase a new one, so the purchase price gets reduced by the value of your current property!! I didn't figure this out until I was ready to buy the final HQ and it made me sad because I felt so stupid.So just keep mowing with your single employee and your two little mowers for a while, until you can afford that new HQ. When you get close to the right price, you can take a loan from the bank - but no more than $25,000 at this point in the game, any more than that and you won't be able to repay the loan - bankruptcy is "game over" in this game if you end up over $5,000 in the hole. Once you have the new HQ with more garage slots, buy some new mowers (these mowers will be for your A.I. employees so it doesn't matter which ones) and more trimmers, just be sure to get at least one mower (preferably two) with a striping kit attachment. Just remember: the Knight OST is YOUR MOWER. Nothing else in the game drives properly. Let your employees have the glitchy mowers. LOL.

Target Time?
Just started the game but I&#;ve already missed my target time on a couple missions, and on one of them I missed very badly. Is there a penalty for this, or a reward for hitting it?
