Tap Campus Life: New Unlimited Free Gems Hack – No Jailbreak! Latest Version 1.26 June 2013
***UPDATE DEC 1 2013*** Not sure if the below hack still works (getting conflicting reports) … so I posted a new hack that will give you unlimited gems and money without jailbreaking. Click here to see it!
Ok guys, so I discovered a new way to get unlimited gems, but you have to be very careful with it or else you will get banned like me. So, please, before you go any further, READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY BEFORE HACKING. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
What you need:
iFunbox (download here)
SQLite (download here)
Microsoft Excel or equivalent
In-Game Requirements: You need to have placed the desk in your home somewhere in Tap Campus Life. You know, the desk where you click it and send your email and get rewarded with a fancier desk? You should have access to it pretty early on in the game. If you scroll down to the last picture in this post before FAQ, you can see the desk with a tool symbol above it.
Instructions:
1. Connect your iPad/iPhone to your computer (I can’t believe I have to include this for some of you :P)
2. Open iFunbox – make sure you are exited completely out of the Tap Campus Life application on your device!
3. Find Tap Campus Life folder
4. Open the Library/Application Support folder and download the campus.sqlite file to your desktop by right-clicking on it and selecting “Copy to PC”:
5. Using SQLite, open the campus.sqlite file (right-click the campus.sqlite file and select “Open With …” and find SQLite).
6. Go to the “Browse Data” tab and select ZPERSISTENTSPROUT. You should see a row with ZIDENTIFIER as “emailCollectSprout_#”, the # being a number from 1-4 indicating what your current desk status is. Change whatever that # is to the number 3. It should look like this:
NOTE: Now, if you tap the desk in the game, your screen should look like in Step 15. If you tap the desk and instead you get a long-winded pop-up that prompts you to sign up for the email newsletter, you’re doing it wrong. Do NOT sign up for the email. You are still in state 1. Make sure you follow the instructions to change it to state 3.
7. Save the campus.sqlite file after you’ve made your changes.
8. Drag and drop it into the original folder where you found it to replace the original file in iFunbox. If you’re having problems, delete the original file in iFunbox and replace it with the new one. Same thing.
9. Now navigate to the Library/Application Support/Resources folder and find the HouseParameters.csv file:
10. Download it to your desktop and then open it in Microsoft Excel.
11. Find the row that says “GemRewardForSharingEmail” – you’ll see that the number next to it is 3.
12. NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT PART THAT MAY GET YOU BANNED!
The risky but easy method: Change the value 3 to a higher number – I recommend something 1500 or less (because a Boatload of Diamonds is 1500 gems and that’s the highest value you can acquire at one time through actual purchase). I tried 99,999,999 and that is way to high – got super banned. I tried 99,999 on another device and also got banned. And you won’t know you got banned until you exit out of the game and try to restart it, so be warned! Anyway, so the LOWER the number, the less likely you will get caught. I had over 10,000 total gems from the yacht hack and didn’t get banned before, so 10,000 is probably a safe number.
The safe but slow method: Or, alternatively, if you want to do it the slow way, you can leave the value at 3 and thus mitigate the risk of getting banned. Then you can just keep adding gems as needed.
13. Save your changes to the .csv file and replace the original file in iFunbox with your new file.
14. Open your Tap Campus Life game and find that damned desk.
15. Tapping on the desk should reward you with a popup that looks like this (except the gems number will be much lower because you don’t want to get banned like me, ha!):
16. Tap on AWESOME! and the gems will be added to your account! You can keep repeating this over and over to add more gems to your account. This is why leaving the value at 3 in the .csv file is a fine method – it just requires a lot more tapping.
17. Now enjoy your unlimited gems until the next patch comes out ;) This is screenshot of what my gem total looked like before I got banned – don’t get greedy!
FAQ:
Q: What do I do if my desk is already fully upgraded, GPG?
A: Not sure but I think you can revert to state 3 regardless, even if you’ve already fully upgraded. You might have to set it to emailCollectSprout_1, open the game, tap the desk to see if you get the email popup message – if you do and then you follow the hack instructions again for emailCollectSprout_3, it should work.
Q: What do I do if I got greedy and didn’t listen to your warnings and got banned, GPG?
A: First of all, I told you so! Second, the only way you can undo this is … well, you can’t. Not unless you jailbreak your phone and use UDID faker to mask your device ID. Here are instructions for jailbreaking and UDID faker. Sorry, can’t give you further help than that!
Q: What did your Campus Life look like before you got banned, GPG?
A: It was pretty epic:
Did you read carefully and follow the instructions exactly? Still have questions? Leave them in the comments!
(Using SQLite, open the campus.sqlite file) whenever I try to open campus.sqlite file for example the file is saved on desktop and whenevr i try to open that file from sqlite it says no items match your search…plzz help me:(:(
When I get the computer desk and push sign me up it changes into a chair…. So how is said cheat supposed to work now :/ help!!!
Do NOT sign up for the email! Follow my instructions exactly!
Thank you that was the only part I misread!!! You are a genius how do you figure this out?
Can you please email me or post a picture of the desk we’re supposed to tap? i feel like an idiot but I’ve tried 2 different desks; the only two I had/found. So please, can you do that? Because I’ve gotten everything else down.
The desk looks like the one in the last picture posted in the blog before the FAQ – you see the desk with the tools symbols above it?
Can someone tell me what number they used? I’ve been banned before but was given another chance, and if I get caught cheating again I’ll be permanently banned. I don’t want to risk it!
Guise, using 1500 is safe!(:
I was afraid to go higher.. lol.
And with the other hacks that she has posted, why use gems for everything? So 1500 is reasonable, and you can just do it again when you run out!:
Thanks for verifying! :)
Thank you! :)
Has anyone who has already upgraded to the throne managed to get this to work?
I received the desk a long time ago and signed up for the email so my desk has changed to a throne.
I tried opening ZPERSISTENTSPROUT and changing the relevant row to “emailCollectSprout_3” but nothing happened.
Do I need to change the throne back to the desk with the tools symbol above it? I couldn’t see how to do that.

I tried that, and it didn’t work for me. I’m sad to say it, but you could just reset your game. That’s what I did with mine. I guess it’s worth it with this hack + her other one.
Does this hack still work with the most recent update? Because I tried to do it and it offers me 3 diamonds and not 1500 like I did in houseparameters csv document :|
.. Yeah
I had already upgraded to the throne and I can’t get it to work. Tried the same thing you did, changed it to “emailCollectSprout_3” but it’s still a throne and changing the cvs file did nothing.
I followed every step and when I click the desk the girls just search it. Am I missing something?
Are you sure you’re clicking the right desk?
Yep the same as in the picture
Hi,
I have a problem. Does this work only for a day? Because I had done this hack but the desk gave me 1000 gems only for one day. How to make it stay permanent? Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Sahana
It is one-time only. That’s just by the nature of the item. It’d be nice if it was an everyday thing! :) Ha ha. Anyways, just go back in and perform the hack again whenever you run out of gems. I’d be leery of doing it too often, though.
Followed your directions and I don’t receive a pop up notification, instead I see balloons and that’s about it. Any ideas?
Can someone please give me the name of the desk as it appears in the Decorations table in the campus.sqlite file? I’m thinking maybe I can add it as a new decoration first.
Which Ifunbox verson should i download and should it be .zip file or .exe file?
GPG, I try to replace the houseparameters.csv but it doesn’t change.
Please help?
ALSO, is it possible for you to make a hack for cash? I have I think like 13 girls, and they’re the highest paying ones but it takes forever to earn enough to do what I need to (even with your other hack).
It’s not working for me! I did the right steps but it the game it won’t give the amount of diamonds I replaced. I even clicked on it because I decided I didn’t care. But then what happens? I can’t get the diamonds anyway! What do I do?
That’s weird.. It worked for me. Well.. It gave me 3 diamonds XD
please guys i need your help.. i dont know where or what exactly is the ”desk’ !
how i found it?
I did everything that I was supposed to and now my app wont open at all:( What happened and how do I get it to load please?
hi, i am trying to locate that desk in my game but cant find it. I already completed some goals and recruited few girls now. I have study desk where I can choose a course and upgrade the gir’s job. But cant find that little desk as shown on your picture. Any suggestions? :)
Hey can you help me please?? I don’t have the option of buying that desk OR being awarded it! How can I get it?!!
THANK YOU!!! It worked for me! :D
IT WORKED!! So happy right now, thank you so much!
How do you continue the gem hack if you have the throne and no desk ?
If anyone finds a hack for gems using just sqlite, please let me know. I don’t have excel and can’t get it. :/
You don’t need excel. On the latest
update u cant change the houseparamaters.csv file the hack works 3 diamonds per tap only
OMGGGG THIS REALLY WORKS! thank you sooooo muchhhhhh i love you GPG :*
oh! for everybody else, i used 10000 for the gem reward number and i didnt get banned so i think 10000 is save :D
Is there another way to get free gems?since I had already sighed up for the email when I first got the desk !!!
Did this for 700 gems .. Got banned :(
I followed your instructions exactly, making sure to not get too greedy and I changed the gem # to 10,000 & I got banned! I can’t jailbreak my phone because I’m running IOS 6.1.4 & they haven’t released a jailbreak for it yet so now I’m basically assed out! Needless to say 10,000 is NOT a safe # I would stick w/ the highest # you can purchase in the store, which is 1500.
If you had followed my directions exactly, you would have read that I expressly said NOT to do 10000!
Your instructions were great … This sight is great :). 700 worked fine for me until I updated the app yesterday and then they banned me …. But I only did 700 so I wonder if the update had anything to do with it.
I am thinking of jailbreaking my ipad … Still running 6.0 but I’m a little nervous about it …
Also are there any codes like these for any of the pet shop Games? Thanks for all the great info posted here btw. I had fun till I got banned yesterday …
Sorry you got banned :( I will probably jailbreak my iPad when the new iOS 7 patch comes out, too. What are the Pet Shop Games? I will try to hack it for you if I can ;)
Pet Shop is another Tap Gem Game. There are a few of them. My daughter loves it but gets frustrated because she cant get the pets she wants. And unlike Campus life you cant ever get enough Gems … even if you are patient. FYI I did jailbreak my ipad but I guess the UDID FAKER doesn’t work for Campus Life anymore. Its been useful having it Jailbroken anyway. Thanks so much for everything!
Works! I love you <3 Thanks so much!
>.> Uhh when it says “it should look like step 15.. what does that mean? where am I supposed too click :P (sorry if im being really dumb.)
make it simpler or easier i didnt understand and i dont even have a computer if there was a app that could hack games but to bad i guess i dont have anyway to hack this game
What NOT to do – so I noticed when I was looking through the member file that there was a 1 in the should log but there wasn’t a 1 for any of the new premium girls in their field. So, I took my bottom 10 and put the 1 in the should log, sure enough I got ten gems. I was like wow! So I got excited and put a 1 on every girl’s should log, went back to the game, collected 5 gems and then went to look at my file again – it was weird – all the 1’s were still in the should log. Tried to get back into the game, nada, nothing. I don’t remember which 5 girls I grabbed the gems from to change the file to what it’s supposed to be. I think I am pretty much SOL AND I didn’t save a copy of the before file. :( Will I be okay when it updates again, or am I done? I’ve been getting an error for awhile saying I am not connected to the internet, but I just click retry a couple times & it eventually loads. I even tried going back and changing the should log to all zero’s, nothing. Anyone had this issue?
Okay so update, later in the day my game just reverted to a previous version and I can get on. I tried this hack, but I noticed for sqlite file you said copy to pc and for the excel file you said download. Is there a difference? I did copy to pc for house parameters, changed the sqlite, updated house parameters in Google Docs (I don’t have Excel) and downloaded the updated file to my pc, then copied from pc over the old one, logged into my game and I get the same sign up message. So I downloaded new copies of the sqlite & house parameters file & the numbers are definitely updated. I never got the yacht hack to work either, is it because I am using Google docs?
update again- sorry guys, if the hack isn’t working, try restarting your phone, ipad or whatever. That made mine work. I’m SOOOOOO excited! Yay!!! I did 800.
Where do I get the desk
Your hack was great! I had set the gems at 1500 and it really worked for some weeks but then I had the same problem as Claire. I updated the game and they banned me ever since. I was wondering whether resetting the changes made in the files before future updating would work, in order not to get banned. (Given that PG gives me a second chance at the game)
Thank you and keep up the good work! :)
So I Put Both Hacks In And Did Everything I Asked You And The Only Hack That Worked Was The One When The Girls Gave You More Money And I Also Reset My Ipod And The Unlimited Gems & Cash One Didn’t Work So Is There Anything I Did Wrong?
Everytime I try to replace the .CSV file, it does not work..
So I did this hack and I actually kept it at 500 gems and I still got banned. I guess I’m wondering how other people have been able to get unbanned from this game – my iPad is jailbroken and I’ve tried using the UDID fakers and stuff but they don’t work. Does anyone have an idea on how to try and get unbanned from this game? The ban is only for this game, not for all PG games but I’ve even uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times with no success. I know I followed the instructions and warnings to the letter and I’m just hoping someone might be able to give me some insight. I have an iPad 2 running iOS 6.1.2. Any ideas you might have would be amazing – this site rocks and has been such a massive help so I’m hoping someone has an idea! Thanks!
How do I download ifunbox? After I click download it takes me to this page: http://tinypic.com/r/2nan3uh/5
i cant get campus life on sqlite
I dont know what is going on! I followed your instructions perfectly, and when i went into the game and tapped on the desk, it said i had earned 500 gems (the amount I put in). I clicked awesome, and it closes, leaving me with 10 gems, same as before! Please help.
Thanks alot for this cheat it works for me thank god ..! ;D … I inserted 1300 :D
I got question .. Can i repeat this method a gain ..?! Is it safe ..?!
does this work on macs?? i cant find the sqlite in ifunbox
Great!!!!!!! 1500 works btw, thanks a lot!!… now how do I get maximum cash… lol
Hey so I did this cheat and i never signed up but the desk keeps saying thanks for signing up and i click awesome and i recieve nothing
Worked perfect for me! Now any tips on how to make cash fast?
how long do we stay banned for?
Forever, unless you jailbreak your phone (which you won’t be able to do ’til the fall when iOS 7 comes out) :(
What if we already have a jailbroken phone (with a previous iOS)?
I tried UDID faker, and it doesn’t seem to work for me.. Is there anything else we can do? Thank you..
I’m in the same boat as Evanora – I already have a jailbroken iPad and UDID faker doesn’t work at all. Are there any other options? I know you mentioned you’ve been banned before but you aren’t now so hopefully there’s a solution. What do you recommend? Is there another alternative to UDID faker? Thank you!
