The biggest challenges in Summer at Smile Cafe is managing your time and money. Every decision you make in the game will affect your overall progress like completing jobs, growing your social reach, or upgrades.
I have created this easy guide to explain all the important gameplay systems. You’ll learn how to earn money, increase your Social Media Level, use Furry Coins, and avoid getting out of money before the weekly expenses arrive.
Basic Gameplay Progression
The game runs on a daily schedule where you can choose different activities throughout the day. Time only moves forward after you perform an action or manually skip to the next time slot.
You can speed up the day by clicking the arrow button in the bottom-right corner of the screen. This is useful when you want to complete a specific task at a specific date and time.
While playing the game, always keep an eye on your money because the game has a weekly maintenance cost.
Weekly Living Expenses
Every week, $10,000 is automatically deducted from your balance as living expenses.
If you don’t have enough money when the payment is due, the game will immediately end with a Game Over. To avoid this, you should avoid spending all your cash on optional items unless you’re sure you can still cover the weekly fee.
So my personal recommandation is that always keep more than $10,000 in reserve before buying expensive upgrades.
How to Make Money
The primary way to earn money is through jobs and commissions.
To accept work:
- Open the Mailbox.
- Check the available commissions.
- Accept a job.
- Complete the required work to receive payment.
These commissions are the main source of your income in the game. So make sure to check the mailbox regularly to accept high paying jobs.
As your character develops, you’ll notice that some jobs give much more reward than others.
How to Increase Social Media Level
Your Social Media Level has a direct impact on how much money you can earn. Upgrading the social media account can easily increase your commissions than usual.
To increase it:
- Use the computer at home.
- Respond to social media posts and messages.
- Gain more followers.
- Reach follower milestones to unlock the next Social Media Level.
Every level upgrade increases your online influence, that let’s you receive better-paying commissions over time.
Why Social Media Matters
Many new players focus only on completing jobs, and they always receive less commissions. But when you upgrade your Social Media Level, it actually increases your long-term income.
Higher social media levels generally provide:
- Better commission rewards
- More profitable work opportunities
- Faster money growth during later weeks
How to Earn Furry Coins
Besides regular money, the game also features a separate currency, Furry Coins.
You can earn them by visiting Furry Nest on the map and helping Yuna with her work.
When you complete activities with Yuna, it rewards you with Furry Coins that can be spent on exclusive items.
Unlike normal cash, Furry Coins are used for special upgrades rather than everyday purchases.
Furry Coin Shop
The Furry Coin Shop sells upgrade boost items that level up your character faster.
One of the most useful purchases is the Female Appearance Schedule Notebook.
It is always recommended to save your Furry Coins for important upgrades. Earn, Create a strategy, then purchase.
Supermarket Items
The supermarket requires your normal money instead of Furry Coins to purchase items.
Here you can purchase various items that can complete your daily activities much faster. While these upgrades aren’t always required, they can help you to complete your daily tasks easily and earn money more consistently.
Always keep an eye on money in your account as you have to pay 10000$ for your living expenses every week.
Quick Summary
- Check the mailbox often for new commissions.
- Use your home computer regularly to grow your followers.
- Don’t ignore Social Media Level because it increases your payout.
- Spend Furry Coins on upgrades that improve overall game experience.
- Buy supermarket items only after you’ve secured enough money for the week’s expenses.
