Kim Kardashian Hollywood July Update

Kim Kardashian Hollywood 5.2.0 was released yesterday (get it here) and this post will review some of the new elements:

First, let's look at the new location, Reykjavik, which sits next to Tokyo in the list. The tappables are the BENCH, the POTTED TREE, and the PUFFIN. The three new locations are Pop Glam Magazine, Blue Mist Spa (a dating site), and your own bar, the Ice Club. The Ice Club costs 50 K Stars and you get the chance to do a weekly three-hour gig as a bartender. You can also buy items in the club (DJ booths, etc) that will allow you to work more weekly gigs at the club. There is also a new polar bear pet.

Now let's look at the reality show shake-up. Your show will now appear on the list of top shows:

Note that KKH is awarding viewers for 8-hour tapings. I had a few 3-hour gigs done prior to the update which rewarded me with a few hundred fans on the A-E list and a similar number of viewers. This was enough to get me onto the top 500 when the reactions to the second or third gig was published.

Another large component of this month's update is the product placement. It seems that the way this will work is that you can have one show sponsorship deal at a time and they will place their product on a table in your home (you might have to buy the table if you do not already own it) and will reward you prizes based on that.

There were some smaller parts of this update. There are some new endorsements. Karl Lagerfeld has a boutique space next to Femme in Paris but it is closed as of 6.28.

And who is she?

There are also a few new clothing items: a hairstyle costing 25 K Stars and the following:

Kim Kardashian Hollywood: The Alvin Greene Quest

Kim Kardashian Hollywood has a lot of quests. One of the more expensive and involved ones is the Alvin Greene quest.

Sometimes in KKH, you meet people who require K Stars or energy. Alvin Greene requires both, so try to keep ten K Stars on hand during this quest. Alvin Greene is a big-shot producer who needs to be convinced that you're Hollywood material. You convince him by charming him (using either stars or energy bolts) and by doing appearances and small acting gigs.

As a general rule in Kim Kardashian Hollywood, when the option to use bolts instead of K Stars appears, using the bolts will simply give you another gig. Since there is no incentive to finishing the quest early, we would advise saving your stars.
