Follow this comprehensive guide to start your journey in Schedule I. Learn character customization, early quests, renting a motel room, buying equipment, and planting your first seeds.
Walkthrough
- 1After character customization, you spawn at the bus station. Open your phone ('Tab') and read the message from 'Unknown' to start the 'Getting Started' quest.
- 2Go to the payphone to meet 'U.N.' (Uncle Nelson), who instructs you to collect his stash near the skatepark. Find $375 in a ledge.
- 3Speak to the motel manager, Donna, to rent a room. You can then pickpocket her to get the $75 back.
- 4Enter room 1 to complete the quest.
- 5Return to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson again, starting the 'Gearing Up' questline.
- 6Go to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map, or by following the road past your room).
- 7Deposit your cash at the ATM.
- 8Purchase a grow tent, a soil bag, and a watering can from Dan at the hardware store. It's also recommended to buy 'Plant Trimmers', a 'Packaging Station', and 10 'Baggies'. Consider a 'Trash grabber' and 'Trash bag' for optional quests and space management.
- 9If you tell Dan you're a drug dealer, he may give you 'Speed Grow'.
- 10Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and fill the pot with soil.
- 11Go back to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson, who introduces you to Albert Hoover.
- 12Open your phone and message Albert Hoover to order seeds. Select 'I need to order a [dead drop]' and purchase 'OG Kush' seeds.
- 13Albert will deliver the seeds to a dead drop location within 30 in-game minutes (30 seconds). Pay Albert by placing cash in the dead drop behind the hardware store.
- 14Pick up the seeds from the dead drop.
- 15Go to your grow tent and sow the seed by pressing 'E' when holding the seed.
- 16Fill your watering can at the sink and water the plant.
- 17Sleep to advance plant growth (plants grow ~15% per in-game hour).
- 18Once the plant is fully grown, use the 'Plant Trimmers' on the grow tent to harvest the buds.
- 19Place down the 'Packaging Station'.
- 20Interact with the Packaging Station to package the buds into baggies. Drag baggies to the 'Packaging' spot and buds to the 'Input' spot. Press 'Pack', then drag each bud into a bag, and the bag into the hopper. Packaged weed will appear in the output.
Tips
- Character appearance is locked after creation but can be changed in game files. Full release will include barbershops, clothing shops, and tattoo parlors.
- Speed-runners can open the motel room door and step inside to complete the quest quickly.
- Depositing cash at the ATM is safer as you won't lose it if caught by police or if you die.
- Items that don't fit in your inventory are placed on pallets outside the hardware store.
- Holding Shift while grabbing items from storage allows you to take the entire stack.
- Right-clicking an item and scrolling allows you to select a custom amount to grab.
- 'Speed Grow' speeds up plant growth but may affect product quality in the full release.
- Watering the plant before sowing the seed is possible.
- Sleeping after watering plants saves water and time, and advances growth significantly.
- Jars can also be used to store buds, available at the hardware store.
- $375 from Uncle Nelson's stash.
- $75 from pickpocketing Donna (optional).
- 'Speed Grow' from Dan (optional, if you claim to be a drug dealer).
- Fully grown and packaged cannabis buds.
