NOTES FOR THE GAME:
– A marathon game ends when one player has maxed out their: money, health, education, and happiness. The bars which form a circle around your character’s picture will fill up as you increase these stats, and will turn orange when they are full.

It’s not really clear how to get this one to pop. Many players have reported playing for more than 10 hours without getting this achievement.

I’m Quite a Big Deal Online, ‘ya Know -Win an online multiplayer game.
Online games are accessed from the first menu. You may need to find another person who has this game, as the online lobbies are not very busy.
Win Conditions
Fashioning the Birthday Suit -Win a game butt naked.
When you are winning and near the end of the game, allow your clothes to wear out until you are “naked”.
Note: when you are naked you cannot work or study.
So if you are playing a marathon game, be sure to max out your money and education before becoming naked. Then simply max out your health/happiness in order to end the game.
Big Boss Pants -Win a game as a CEO.
To become CEO of VexCorp you will need an education and 6400 work experience.

You can achieve the education by heading to the University and enrolling in courses. You will need to reach and complete “Research” for this job.
Someone has to do it -Win a game as a janitor
Become a janitor by heading to the Job Office and selecting “Janitor” at any location.
You only need to be a janitor at the end of the game, so in theory you could take a higher paying job and switch to janitor when the game is about to end.
Welcome to Indiana -Win a game without going to the gym or culture center.
Simply do not visit the Gym or Culture Centre, and then win the game.
Note: this will make it difficult to win a marathon game, as you must max out all four stats to end the marathon game. You can increase your health by purchasing anything that has a red heart appear next to it when you hover over it. Such as cleansing food from the Market.
Mattress Money -Win a game without depositing money into the Bank
Simply do not deposit any money into the bank.
This can make things difficult as any money not deposited can be stolen at random.

Start a long game, do not eat at all during it, and make sure that you win. Your character will not die, but you will recieve a time penalty (you will have less time during your turns).
Best of Every Life -Win a game with each character.
There are 6 possible characters to play as, and you must win as each of them.
Any game type will work.
If you are having trouble with this, you can play well as the character that you want to win, while having the other character do nothing (or just “relax”) repeatedly every turn.

Ready for Winter -Never go below 2 weeks worth of food in your fridge in a long game.
Start a LONG GAME.
The game will start tracking from the same turn that you purchase your fridge, so it is ok to hold off on purchasing a fridge until you are financially stable.
Do not purchase a fridge until you have enough money to also purchase 4 weeks of groceries at the same time. You will eat 1 week’s worth of food at the end of each turn, so you for this achievement you cannot allow your fridge to have less than 3 week’s of groceries at the END of each turn.
You can see how many weeks of food your fridge contains, by looking at the number on the side of the fridge, or by clicking on your character’s picture and looking at the number next to “Fridge”
Lots of Time to Relax -Your stress level must be 1 or lower for a whole Marathon game.
Start a MARATHON GAME.
This one can be a bit tricky. You start at stress level 0, and must avoid all stress as well as making time to relax, for the entirety of a marathon game. You do not need to win this game, you only need to make it to the end without having your stress rise above 1.
A marathon game ends when one player has maxed out their: money, health, education, and happiness. The bars which form a circle around your character’s picture will fill up as you increase these stats, and will turn orange when they are full.
