BitLife Porn Star to President Challenge Guide: How to Complete the Porn Star to President Challenge

It’s that time once again, where we revisit BitLife and, along with players all around the world, complete those weekly challenges while we can. Candywriter released this feature for iOS and Android players alike earlier this year, and since then, challenges have served as a great way to whet the appetite while waiting for new, major updates (like this month’s Pro Sports Update) to roll out. And with the U.S. presidential election less than a month away, it was only a matter of time before Candywriter released a challenge that has something to do with becoming president…and something to do with entering a controversial line of work before becoming president.

Fair warning — this is probably the toughest BitLife challenge we’ve ever completed. Yes, it may sound like a lot of fun to go from starring in those “blue films” as a young adult to becoming the most powerful man or woman in your country, but as we’ll remind you later on in this guide, it’s almost as hard to become president in the BitLife universe as it is for the average person in the real world.

So join us as we present to you our BitLife guide for the Porn Star to President Challenge — we’re here to hopefully make things easier for you, especially when it comes to the all-important final requirement!

Getting Started – Good Looks, College Education, And All Five Social Media Accounts

For those who don’t have God Mode, you’ll have to do some re-rolling early on, because good Smarts and Looks are recommended if you want to go through this challenge quickly. There doesn’t appear to be any country-based restriction, and you can be male or female. But aside from that, you’ll also need to behave yourself in school, get high grades, and avoid any shenanigans such as delinquency or other crimes.

This is in order to avoid the possibility of your opponent bringing up your past once presidential debate time comes around, as well as to ensure you get a college scholarship. That’s right — the first objective may be entering the adult film industry, but you’ll still need a college diploma for the final objective, which is, of course, becoming your country’s president.

Although working in porn does not require a college education (or a lot of Smarts), you would still want to attend college and take a relevant course that will increase your odds of completing the Porn Star to President Challenge. Political Science is always a good option, so keep quitting the game and restarting until this (or maybe a business-related course) becomes available.

Join a fraternity for a good chance of getting hired straight away without any interview, and if you haven’t done so yet, make sure you have an in-game Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube account active. You’ll need all five in order to quickly reach 100 percent Fame, thus allowing you to earn millions of dollars on the side (via commercials, of course) and improving your odds of winning elections, and not just the presidential election — we’ll tell you more about that later!

Don’t Make Adult Entertainment Your Bread And Butter

All things considered, it’s very easy to get a job as a Porn Actor if you’ve got high Looks, and it normally takes just seven years to become Famous. Just tap on Work Harder at least once per year, avoid getting into conflicts with your supervisor and your other coworkers, and stay away from vices. You don’t want any addictions to derail your entertainment career or give your political opponents fuel for mudslinging later down the line.

Once you’ve become a Famous Porn Actor, we would advise stopping there — it’s not uncommon for mainstream celebrities to dabble in some form of adult entertainment to pay the bills before hitting it big, so that’s basically what you want to do here. The moment you reach Famous status, seek another form of employment that could earn you millions of dollars per year once you become Famous a second time.

The reason behind this is that you cannot star in commercials (which could earn you up to $2.4 million a pop) if you’re a Porn Actor — the photoshoot money will be bigger, but with a basic annual salary that usually tops out at close to $300,000 and no commercials, your earning potential will be limited.

We’d recommend the usual Singer and Actor career paths post-porn stardom, but if your character has high Athleticism and did very well in school sports, you could try out in the sport you excelled in, as long as it’s one of the sports introduced in the Pro Sports Update. It may be a bit difficult to get into the pros if you’re doing so in your late 20s (as you would if you followed everything we’ve advised you so far), but it’s worth a shot — if you fail to make the cut, there’s always the Actor and Singer careers to fall back on. Just keep quitting and restarting the game until you see Background Vocalist or Voiceover Actor among the available jobs.

After reaching Famous status a second time, this is the time when we’d suggest getting your social media accounts verified — do not do this after your brief dalliance with fame as a Porn Actor, as that’ll limit your earning potential! We suggest getting verified once a book or two and at least one ad per year gets your Fame up to 40 percent — each successful verification from that point forward is worth a 16 to 20 percent boost in Fame.

Once you’ve reached 100 percent, you can keep starring in commercials (preferably after quitting/restarting to ensure you star in multiple ads a year), doing photoshoots, and releasing books until your bank balance is at $100 million. That’s when you could feel safe to leave the glitz and glamour behind — albeit temporarily — and get your political career started. Your fame will again drop back to zero after a few years, but you will certainly become Famous for a third time once you get elected as Governor. However, that’s not what you should worry about the most when it comes to completing the third and final requirement…

Becoming President – It’s Doable, But Even Harder Than Before

As hard as it was to become president when the Politics Update was just rolled out, it’s even harder now, and those who play the game regularly would likely know why. But in case you don’t, this is because Candywriter introduced a pretty significant nerf a few updates ago that did a couple of things — first, you can no longer hang on to your campaign budget by using the old trick of quitting the game before confirming your loss in the election, and second, you’ll have to wait four years until the next election (or however long the gap is in between elections) even if you quit the game before you hit the OK button to accept your defeat.

But now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, we’re going to give you yet another important disclaimer before we proceed — no matter how big your budget is, you cannot expect to make the final ballot unless you go from strength to strength in your political career, meaning from school board director to president. That means regardless whether you chose to remain in the adult film industry or decided to earn a celebrity fortune some other way after a few years in porn, you’ll need to leave the famous life behind and start a new career as a School Board Director, preferably once you’ve earned about $100 million.

Becoming a School Board Director is easy, just as long as you make sensible choices when presented with the different election day scenarios. Once you get elected, you can hold a rally with Maniacal intensity for a quick boost to your approval rating, then just proceed forward with doing the right thing when the various scenarios pop up during your term. When we say making sensible choices and doing the right thing, that would mean staying consistent to the platform you chose when you ran for office and not doing anything that can be construed as authoritarian, frivolous, or corrupt in nature. And that would mean refusing bribes and holding friends accountable for their shenanigans instead of letting them off the hook.

The same thought process applies when you’re serving as Mayor and Governor, though at this point, we should note that we recommend spending one term as School Board Director, one term as Mayor, and the maximum two terms as Governor. You should have no problem winning elections as long as you follow our “do the right thing” advice, but once you’re serving as Mayor or Governor, you’ll need to look at the Headlines section for clues on what to talk about during your Speeches or spend more time on when adjusting your Agenda.

For example, headlines that pertain to decreasing graduation rates would demand a focus on Education, while those that reference oil spills or climate change require you to focus on the Environment. Feel free to mix up the type of speeches in terms of your medium, but avoid the Brag and Scare options when choosing your objective. Ideally, you want your approval rating to be at 85 to 90 percent or above by the end of your term, each time before you run for President.

Now here comes the hard part — how can you improve your chances of winning your country’s presidency? Generally, you want to treat your opponents with respect, make the same good decisions we mentioned above (again, nothing that may appear as being too draconian or corrupt), but since the mudslinging game plays a bigger role in presidential elections than it does in other elections in the BitLife universe, we’ve gotten better results by countering rumors with rumors.

That means if your opponent tries to start a false rumor about you, e.g. claiming you experimented with drugs, had an affair, are actually an alien from outer space, etc., you can try spreading a rumor about them and going for it if it sounds plausible enough and doesn’t sound too trivial. As for your election budget, we’ve tried blowing our entire $100 million fortune on our campaign, but it sounds pretty safe to invest about $30 million to $50 million.

As long as you maintain your Fame at 96 to 100 percent for the most part, you can rebuild your campaign war chest by appearing in multiple commercials in a year — star in an ad, quit the game, restart it, star in another ad, rinse and repeat. (Just don’t push forward and hit “OK” if your performance in the commercial drops your Fame to below 90 percent!)

Again, becoming President in BitLife is one of the hardest things to do in the game these days. You will need to be very, very patient, and you might even have to use the Time Machine feature and pay a dollar to go back to the year when you ran for President, or at least run multiple lives until you get it right. But your patience will be rewarded as usual with the standard completion prize — your choice of eyewear or headwear — and bragging rights, given that this is quite the tough one to complete! (For a bit of context, only 2,100 people or so have completed the Porn Star to President Challenge in its first day live.)
