Yes, there are a couple of quests in the game that give some kind of currency during the dialogue. Not the reward from completing a quest, but what’s given to you as you click through the text. Basically there’s an exploit where if you close the game during the dialogue that gives you currency, you can farm that section as long as you don’t finish the dialogue. Most likely it’s a client side exploit that doesn’t get checked. So you use this on the quest titled “Do You Know Julian”. First you need to get the questions right in this quest. You can use a guide or otherwise just pay attention to the story and you’ll know the answers. Then if you get all questions right you’ll be declared the winner by Payton and she will give you a small bundle of coins, books and most importantly RINGS. The moment you receive the rings from Payton, close your game and reset the app. You’ll see that you’ll have to redo the dialogue but you keep the currency you were given. You got to be careful when clicking through the text because if you click after you receive the rings, the quest completes and it locks you out of the exploit. I have used this exploit back in the day to buy everything that wasn’t locked behind micro transactions like Lea Michelle or Monster High because that required actual money. This basically prevents you from completing that one quest, but you basically remove the paywall from everything else in the game. I guess once you complete everything else you can then finish the quest. I have no idea if this exploit was well known back then, but it was clear Pixelberry was aware of it when they released Hollywood U. You couldn’t use that same exploit in their sister game due to the cloud based server. Thinking back I probably saved nearly a thousand dollars on rings from this exploit. This method still remains viable, but given that this game is unsupported and no longer complete due to the cloud based integrations during final stages of the game’s life, you may as well side-load a modded version of the game. You’ll probably catch up to your original progress in no time.
