In the immersive world of “Schedule 1,” acquiring resources and establishing safe havens is crucial for survival and progression. While in-game currency can facilitate the purchase of businesses, a hidden method allows players to bypass these costs and gain ownership of key locations for free. This guide delves into the process of manipulating game files to unlock access to business backrooms, providing valuable storage and operational spaces without spending a dime.
How to Get a Free Business
In Schedule 1, you have the ability to take over businesses around the map and use their back areas for storage and other activities. While you won’t be able to fully operate these businesses, you can gain ownership and access their restricted areas. Follow this simple guide to get a free business in the game.
Step 1: Accessing Your Game Files
- On your computer, go to the Search Bar and type Run, then press Enter.
- In the Run dialog box, type:
%appdata%
and press Enter. - This will open the AppData folder. Navigate back one step and select LocalLow.
- Find the folder named TVGS (the game’s development studio).
- Open the folder Schedule One.
- Locate the Saves folder and find your Save File Name.
- Open the Businesses folder.
Step 2: Modifying Ownership Settings
- Inside the Businesses folder, locate the business you want to own (e.g., Taco Tickler, Laundromat, Top Dog Car Wash).
- Open the folder of the desired business.
- Find the .json file inside and right-click on it.
- Choose Open with > Notepad.
- Locate the line that says:
“isOwned”: false - Change false to true, so it reads:
“isOwned”: true - Click File > Save, then close Notepad.
Step 3: Finalizing Changes
- Repeat the process for any other businesses you want to own.
- Once you’ve made the changes, launch the game.
- Now, you should have full access to the restricted areas of the selected businesses.
Additional Tips
- Use these spaces for extra storage or temporary shelter.
- You can place grow kits or other items in the back areas.
- If you encounter any issues, double-check that you saved the file correctly and that you modified the right .json file.
By following these steps, you can own multiple businesses in Schedule 1 without spending any in-game money. Enjoy your new properties and use them to your advantage!
