  1. As far as I can tell, apartments in the same price range have the same interior. The $80k and $87k apartments are the same, and as I mentioned elsewhere, There's a $240k house with the same interior as the $400k house. I'm not sure if there's another interior for $100k-$200k houses. It seems like the prices are for different locations and views rather than variety or quality. Lazy.

    The price will also be higher, depending on garage it comes with, they might have the same interior, but one might have a 10 car garage and the other a 6.


  2. A couple questions for anyone that knows:

    1. Can you sell a safehouse/garage/apartment to add to the budget for your next one?

    2. If not, what is the cheapest safehouse with a planning room because if I cant just sell a crappy one I was thinking of just skipping to one with a planning room.

    You can only own one house at a time, so if you buy another one it will sell the one you already have. Not sure if you can just sell it without buying another though.


  3. R* says...

    • Once you have a Garage of your own you will have a Mechanic who can deliver your personal vehicle directly to you – in Freemode or even on a Mission.
    • All apartments come with Garages; you will be told how many cars will fit inside when you browse them online.
    • Garages can be bought individually; sizes vary from 2 to 10 cars.
    • You can get a free 2 car garage just for signing up to Social Club.
    • You can only own one property at any time.
    • When you purchase a new property you will be partially refunded for any property you previously owned.

    This is on social club, under guides


  4. I was cheated out of a free car upgrade at the beginning. I was in Customs modifying it, I bought the insurance and was about to change the colour and wheels when the "Host left the game". When I got back on, the car was mine, but I had to pay for any upgrades.

    Apart from that slight annoyance, it all seems to be working, although I did have to start from scratch with a new character, as mine (and the other 7 that I created) never came back.

  5. Something I noticed when creating a character: oddly there will be a different selection of hats/glasses, depending on what lifestyle you choose. I wanted a beanie hat, so I had to give him more sleep hours, and more sports hours.

    Also, If you have the John Marston dad, you will get Cowboy hat options.

    Anyway this is just the initial creation, once your in game I would imagine you can buy any type.


  6. There are a few aspects that make you look cleaner, or more haggard, Illegal work is one, but the hours of sleep you choose also make you look different.

    The clothes kinda annoy me a little, I know it's only starter items, and I can buy more, but there should be some sort of choice really.


  7. there's those bridges south of the dog racetrack which lead into the aquaducts... those are some tough cookies to fly under... it took me many many tries to get the 50th one because i knew it was that particular bridge... i just kept at it and eventually it rewarded me... i used trevor's heli on all of the bridges...

    Yeah, Those were the two that didn't count for me either, They're very narrow and low, if you so much as scrape the sides it wont count it, I must have gone through them about 10 times each, and I was convinced I had done them, But eventually I managed it with the Buzzard.

    Anyone re-doing all the bridges, I would suggest you keep trying those two first before you go and try the others.

    If you are using the strategy guide it's bridges number 26 and 27.

  8. I have no mini-map/hud on the screen. It says in the display settings that they're on, but the screen is blank. To set a way point I have to keep pausing to look at the map. Also I have to use the passengers side of the car to get in, if I use the drivers door, he just gets back out automatically. No weapon wheel either, no way of getting gun out.

    Also can't do any missions still.


  9. I got to this point but just had a blurred screen! Not too fussed though, im guessing rockarse will wipe everything when a patch comes through, onthe topic, any news of a patch? A mate said he read about a patch being released early hours (gmt) today, no source, just bro-faith

    When you say "wipe everything" ....you mean all our progress (if any) and we all start again from the beginning?


  10. My character has gone again, my level has been set back to 1, my money has gone back to £0, and because my character has gone I'm guessing the Clothes I bought, and the car I modified have gone too.

    I've created another character (In slot 2, just in case slot 1 comes back) and had to go through the whole tutorial again. got as far as buying clothes before being swiftly booted off.


  11. I'm on!! Is there any way to mute other players?
    For 360 yes. Go to their gamercard and mute them from that. I'm sure theres some global mute option somewhere.
    Thanks I'm on PS3 but I've figured it out. Does anyone know what's the sketch with banking money? How's it done? Can't see any ATM's

    You can go to an ATM, or you can go to the bank online trough your phone. Banking the money is so other players don't steal it when they kill you. There are usually ATMs in the 24/7 stores, and some scattered around the streets too, theyre kinda hard to spot sometimes.
