Ice Cream Tycoon
Hints, Tips and Tricks:
-----------------------
Submitted by: RM
Mission 1:
----------
Start the game with 5 of each flavor and see which is most liked and purchase those,
raise your prices to 50. Once you reach a rating of 3% raise your prices to 60 or 70.
Once you reach 7% rating raise them again to 80 or 90. Monitor your flavors all the
time. This should raise you to the 10% rating without going broke.
Mission 2:
----------
Try to raise your rating as much as possible before hitting your goal here... as this
is not difficult. To reach your goal simply raise your prices to 300 and purchase the
most expensive ice creams (the newly unlocked ones) and alternate between the most
populated area.
Mission 3:
-----------
One tip regarding mission 3 is to lower your prices to 40%, although you might seem
that you are starting to lose money, but don't worry you will get it back later on,
lowering your prices will increase your rate, plus make sure you send two carts to
two different cities to get more customers.
Hints:
------
I got through the first rating, the second $1,000, and the third - a rating of 25%
without problems (except I did get robbed when I went back to the original neighborhood
and forgot th check the "crime" level); but I lose every time when I try the 100
customers level. You have to get at least 25 customers a day to meet the requirement,
and I'm lucky if I make 60 customers in 4 days.
Lower your prices:

Customers:
----------
To get through 100 customers, just skip for 4 days, the AI can gather
more than 25 a day.

Step 1: Go to the game's director folders on your hard drive and find a folder called
"ICTDATA". Copy the "config.ini" file and save it somewhere as a backup. This
is very important because changing things within this file can cause the game not
to work.
Step 2: Start Ice Cream Tycoon. The game must be running in order for this to work.
Step 3: Minimize ICT by hitting your Windows key or Alt+Tab. Open the config.ini file
that is in the ICTDATA folder using NotePad. There will be a line of code that
reads "Cheats=0". Change the 0 to a 1, save the changes, and go back into ICT.
Step 4: Certain things will now happen when you press the F keys:
F1 = $5000 each time pressed
F2 = All trucks bought and added to fleet
F3 = All ice creams unlocked and each purchased to 75; Additional key presses will
restore each amount to 75 at any time.
F4 = All neighborhoods unlocked.
NOTES:
*After quitting the game, you will need to replace the config.ini file with the backup
you created in order to be able to open the game again. You need to create a backup
because simply restoring the defaul values will not allow the game to work. PLEASE KEEP
THE ORIGINAL CONFIG FILE IN A SAFE PLACE AT ALL TIMES.
*This process will have to be repeated every time you open the game if you want to use
cheats every time.
