Lego Fortnite Brick Life is the Lego Fortnite social simulator life sim, all set in the Lego world. As a mode, it’s entirely unrelated to the Lego Fortnite Odyssey survival-style game mode, but it does share some similarities, such as builds and items that are available in both.

Here’s how to use vehicles in Lego Fortnite Brick Life, as well as how to unlock new ones.
Spawning into the world of Lego Fortnite Brick Life for the first time can be a little bit overwhelming; there’s a city full of different things to do, from exploring the suburbs to discovering domestic bliss. You’ll be on your feet in no time, especially with these tips to get you started.
Where To Find Money
There’s money lying all over the place around the city. Some of this is pretty visible, simply lying on the ground, while other times, that money is hidden relatively well.
Occasionally, you’ll need to parkour across some buildings to grab the money, which awards you anywhere between 10–100 dollars. This might not seem like a lot, but with so much lying around, it will add up.
These piles of money respawn every few minutes in the exact same places. If you’d like, you could travel a path through the city, collecting money the entire time.
This isn’t usually as lucrative as working a job, but it can be nice to do between tasks if you need money fast.
Do The Trending Jobs
If you’re looking to make money quickly, do both of the trending jobs every in-game day. These jobs become active at 9 am and run until 5 pm every day in the city, and it is perfectly possible to do both of them very quickly.
These jobs take around a couple of minutes each, leaving you the rest of the day to do whatever you’d like. But, they award 4 times the money that regular jobs do, at 2,000 per task.
Between both trending jobs and the daily stipend that the game awards you for visiting the ATM, that’s 5,000 dollars a day, without doing anything else.
Give People Food, Don’t Place Food
Certain jobs, like Sushi Chef and the Fast Food jobs, have tasks that tell you to either place food on display for a customer to grab or give the food directly to a customer.
It’s always better to hand the food to a customer because the customer is going to give you a ten-dollar tip for doing so. It’s slight, but that will be 510 instead of 500 for the task (or 2,010 if it was a trending job), and that adds up over time.
Take A Break To Quit Your Job
Taking a break from whatever job you’ve chosen isn’t really taking a break; it essentially quits the job for the time being. You won’t get any texts from your boss about coming in for a task, and you’ll be free to pick up any other job you’d like.
You can also return to that job anytime; they hold no ill will towards you for taking some time away. This is a good way to check out multiple jobs to find something that you like doing.
Do Tasks For Citizens
Talking to citizens around the city is sometimes going to end up with them asking you to do a task. While it isn’t explicitly clear, these tasks work exactly like a job, other than the fact that you aren’t employed by the citizen afterward.
But, the task they’d like you to do is displayed in the top right of your screen in the same way, and they award you the same amount of money after completing it: 500 dollars. This is less consistent income than a job, but it does give some variety to making money.
Don’t Log Out To Change Your Skin
Changing the Lego skin you have equipped doesn’t require logging out; instead, head to a phone booth. There are multiple phone booths throughout the city, but not every phone booth does what you’re looking for.
Specifically, you’ll need to find a blue phone booth. When heading towards it, it’ll have the option to Change Outfit instead of just Hide. From here, you can change things like your skin, emotes, instruments, and more.
This is particularly nice, considering logging out of the session will unclaim your plot. You won’t have to worry about finding a suitable place for your house again because you won’t have to log out.
Save Up Early For Decorations
Buying decorations might look cheap when you see that many of them cost less than 200 dollars overall. But buying that decoration doesn’t work like buying a blueprint, allowing you to place it down as many times as you’d like.
You’ll need to buy one each of every decoration that you intend to use. That adds up very quickly, even if you’re using the same decoration often. Not all decorations cost 180, but many do; using 180 as an average to hit the maximum of 150 decorations possible in a house, you’d need 27,000 dollars.
Managing Multiple Houses
You can have as many houses as you’d like in Brick Life, but you can only have one house placed down at a time. You can change them at your leisure by going to your mailbox, unclaiming a lot, and then reclaiming it with your new house, but any decorations you had placed in your previous house are going to be unavailable in your new one.
Even though you technically would only have the decoration placed once, since you only have one house placed at a time, you’ll need to remove the decoration from the old house to place it in the new one. You can do this by selecting Remove All Decorations when claiming a lot, or you can do it individually from the Edit menu when inside your house.
Fortunately, you can place your house on any empty lot you’d like, and it will save your decoration locations in the house, so you don’t have to place them down again each time you move.
