Tap Campus Life: Holiday Version Hack – Unlimited Coins and Gems NO JAILBREAK
*Working as of 1 December 2013*
*Warning* I woke up this morning to find that I couldn’t connect to Campus Holiday (but somehow I’ve been unbanned from Campus Life) … It might be that yesterday I put 30,000 gems in my account (probably) … so, please, use this hack at your own risk!
Hey guys and gals, I’m here with a new hack for unlimited coins and gems for Campus Holiday (and theoretically, it would work the same for Campus Life). It does NOT require jailbreaking (yay).
As always, you’ll need the following:
iFunbox
Excel or another program that can edit .csv files
Ok, so this hack basically tricks the in-app purchase system. You’ll still have to spend at least $0.99 cents to use this hack, but it’s a paltry sum compared to how much this game tries to cheat you out of gems. :)
Instructions:
- Open up the game folder using iFunbox.
- Navigate to Library > Application Support > Resources folder.
- Right-click IAP.csv and copy to PC.
- Find the copy you just saved, make a backup (just in case you need to put it back).
- Now, open up the IAP.csv using Excel.
- You’ll see the rows correspond to the different in-app purchases available. Let’s say you want gems – go to the line with the cheapest gems (pouch of gems – 10 for $0.99):
- Change the value under the “amount String” column. I’ve done up to 15,000 gems with no problems, but if you’re feeling daring, you can go higher. Or, if you’re scared, you can go lower.
- Now save your changes and drag-and-drop the edited IAP.csv back into the same folder you found it.
- Now you should be able to open up your game and go to the in-app purchase screen (click on the gems at the top) and it will look like this:
- Click on the first box to buy 15,000 (or however many gems you picked) for $0.99. You’ll be asked via pop-up to confirm the in-app purchase. Click yes.
- When you’re returned to the game, you should see all those gems added to your account! Enjoy!
You can use this same hack for the coins/money as well if you want, but I think your $0.99 is better spent on gems :)
Did this tutorial help you? Please let me know in comments!
My only concern with this is that I don’t own a debit card, therefore making it impossible for me to do this. xD and another thing is, even if I do have one, 15k gems would go very quick for me… I use them for pretty much everything lol. Thanks for this though! Hopefully I’ll be able to get my hands on a debit card soon.(:
Ah yes, not being able to make in-app purchases would be a deal breaker. I’ll explore more ways to hack the game as I progress in levels – I’m sure there are other loopholes – subscribe to my site’s email list and it will notify you when I post another hack. I’m also pretty sure you can do more than 15k gems, I just haven’t tested the limits because I don’t want to get banned. I’ll leave it up to one of you brave souls out there :)
If they ban somebody you can simply make new apple id and play again and everytihng is ok
As far as I know, they ban your device not your id, so you would need a new iphone or something … but since Apple did away from UDID in the 7.0 update, maybe that’s no longer the case?
Go to Safeway, Vons or Pavilions, you can buy a prepaid debit card for 3.95 – after you register it you can use it for online purchases. Problem is you gotta spend it all before 1 month is up, you will get charged $6 a month for an active account. You can only buy 1 of each Paypower card.
I never thought of that, thanks!!!
How do you buy and go through gems WITHOUT a card?
I love you!!
I noticed that the campus.sqlite file is in the library for campus holiday. I was able to recruit all he girls the way you showed in but I cannot seem to get the land expansion to work. Any ideas? Ps. Love this!
I wanted to my previous post . . . I was able to figure out how to finish a room completely (after placing it) without spending any coins or gems by playing around but first I have to wait to get enough coins to buy the land. I did figure out how to speed up the land AFTER buying it though. I used some of your tutorial for he original campus life.
Ok it’s me again . . . Apparently I was able to unlock some random land . . . Unfortunately it was at the waaaay top and some of my girls (who I didn’t know where they ended up) were floating in the air :/. Oops. HELP! I’m thing to undo it but I can’t seem to figure out what land is next to the ones I already have?!?!
Haha weird … unlock all the land and see what happens?
Ok so I went into area expansion and played around until the floating land was gone. Then I saved a copy of the SQLite file as it was. Next came the tedious part – I would go into the game and buy some land, exit the game check the file to see which land was at a 2 and not a 0,1, or 4 when I found it I jotted it down and put the original file back in. Then I did it again with another adjacent land until I had done all the adjacent land I could (always reverting back so the price of land wouldn’t go up – and I never actually had to spend coins) then once I had them all written down I went in and changed them all at once. Totally worked! I did however end up with another floating land somehow?!?! but I was too tired to try and figure it out . . . Maybe tomorrow.
I have no idea if you are familiar with this BUT:
I have successfully downloaded the Campus Life Hack with RAR files
However; when I try to open it in adobe the file says it is either damaged or cannot be read. Do you have any idea what I should open it in or how to fix this?????
It’s really pissing me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D: :'(((((((
Thank you!
Try not to trigger any Gamecenter achievements! I got banned on Secret Passages after using a “400X quest rewards” with “heavier gems weight” cheat from MagicIOS. I got this strange achievement “Wealthy Traveler – Have over 10,000 Gems” Seeing that probably called attention to my Secret Passages game, they saw high gems, with no purchases. Flagged my iPhone 4 for a ban.
I will never have GameCenter turned on for a cheated game unless the app needs it for a quest.
Yeah, I should have logged out of Gamecenter, I’m so stupid I’m kicking myself. Next time! XD
Amazing! Works Perfectly!
Can we do the hack on iPad ??? Please help …
Hi! THANK YOU! Also tried using this method in CL to increase number of pearls. Showed “15000 pearls for $0.99” in the store but when I purchased it, only got the regular amount of 100. Any ideas on how to get more pearls in CL?
Yeah. I only put in 10,000 and a few days later, I couldn’t get on the game because there was a problem accessing the server. Use at your own risk with Campus Holiday!
Were you logged into game center at the time?
Yeah, but I’m not sure how to log out while I use the app.
Question, doesn’t the game save using your Game Center? So how would you buy gems being logged out?.. Just a little confused.
I had the same question and was a little confused on how you can play the game/buy gems if your not logged in Game Center. It always makes me login if I’m not signed in whenever I start the app (campus holiday) up.
I’m always logged out of Game Center, you just click the gear, and it should show the option. I know it works for campus life, not sure for holiday
And I just tried it and it didn’t work on Mac using TextEdit. And excel costs money =( I can’t find another program that works but TextEdit worked just fine for the campus life desk hack. ??? Grrrr. Anyone please let me know if you know a program that works for this on mac. Thank you!
If you get me an email adress i send the excel :)
I’ve tried every csv file editor including excel (decided to sign up for free trial because nothing else was working) and every time I opened campus holiday I went to the store and all it says is “Welcome to the store!” And that’s it, it’s blank. No pictures, no boxes, nothing, it’s just blank and I can’t buy anything??? What the hell!!!???? Need help.
I was able to change the rubies, but not the coins. It came up as 0.
How do I access the folder from Ifunbox? I can’t seem to find it
Click on the managing app data tab, then click on campus holiday. From there you click library, application support, then resources and the file will be in there called IAP!
Rubies went back to normal amount before I could buy…
hey can we also decrease the value of money from ifun box too???
This hack did not work for me. I had +15,000 for 1 minute before it reverted back to only 100. Waste of money for this game
Just wanted to say used it and worked! thank you very much. Remember to close the app completely so that the changes are applied when you save the file, i didn’t do it and couldn’t understand what I did wrong!
How did you do it? I followed all the instructions! I’ve been trying to find a working hack for like 5 days now and none have worked or won’t unzip. With this one, it won’t let me save changes to the .csv file saying something will be lost. Do I make the changes to the copy I saved to my computer? And is tha the file I drag and drop? Where do I drag and drop because it won’t let drag and drop into the fun box. Also, I was doing this on my iPad. Is this for phones only? Someone help! I’ve been at this for 5 days!! Lol
I don’t know about ipads! When it comes up with the message when you are saving just press yes nothing will be lost! You drag the file from where it saves into the same location in ifunbox you originally opened the IAP file! Can’t help any more then that sorry
Do I drag and drop the copy i saved to my pc and edited into the funbox folder? I’m confused. It’t not working…
Did anyone figure out how to make the pearls/ rubies or coins stick after changing them and making a purchase? Does being signed out of Game Center matter?
Hi! this worked in campus holiday for me, but not in campus life! I changed the perls and diamonds, but when i bought a Pouch of Pearls even if it said 2500, then it added me just 100! Why does this happen?
Happens to me!
I have found that if you use it to get loads of diamonds and buy diamond items, you can sell them for pearls in the boutique. I make mine cheaper and they sell pretty instantly (for example 280 for the orange animal trench coat) I have got to 1500 pearls in 2 days, which isn’t too bad!
I don’t understand how you get this to work. When I go to the boutique it gives me a very limited choice of things to sell. It seems like it is only letting me sell the things I purchased from the boutique originally.
Doesn’t seem to be working anymore…was working for me, but no more :(
How do you get unbanned? If I contact customer support, what will happen to all my diamonds?
Can you still use the method to add any girl? The excel file’s Zidentifier seemed different from the sqlite file.
I can also verify that by exiting the game, logging out of game Center, then drag drop iap file to Desktop edit save, delete file from pad, and save edited copy to pad, logging into gamecenter, then into game, the gems edit works for me for both normal Campus and Holiday Campus life.
I have yet to get the coin or pearls to work. The coins a noted above either list as 0 or nor Change. Pearls, it lists the Change but after purchase, at first attempt to use the pearls it the number of pearls purchase Drops to Default number. have been fiddling with the iap for an hour+ and still have no work around for coins or pearls.
Thanks gamegirl for the original edit!!!
Works as of January 2nd 2014
Hi Joe…I am technically challenged somewhat…however…I can follow step-by-step instructions…unfortunately, the directions shown above do not correspond with the ifunbox I downloaded. Since you have been able to get this to work for you, would you be willing to tell me how you did it? I would greatly appreciate it. :-)
If you really want to try it I saw a section where you could change the cost of them. But that might get you super banned.
I tried it, at first when you try to load the game an error pops up that says please contact customer support. It opens on the second try but the values get reset then it’s back to normal like they caught the hack.
Me too In campus life
So, first off, I figured out how to get those damn keys, and more safety pins and such to upgrade your clothes for judging bonus. That was nifty. But I CAN NOT get the girls in campus life, my screen looks nothing like what you are showing, and I need the gem girls because I have 4 gems, and it’s just not enough. Can’t do the pay hack, so I need a free option other then getting all the clothes, selling them in the boutique, and converting one gem a day. Any new tips?
So I’ve figured out how to upgrade the closet, have the girls ready to collect, get all the clothes, and get keys and other collectables. Now I need to generate gems. Any ideas?
HELP!!! I cant find the houseparameters.cvs folder in ifunbox??
Its acting me for a pin to unlock app im lost
Hello All, In all of the instructions using I funbox to look up data in .csv files ie members.csv in Tap Campus…..Either my files doesn’t transfer at all or it transfers a folder only with nothing in the folder. I am having no issues with data transfer between I-funbox and SQLite. Just getting a .csv file on my desktop. Help!!
If you try to edit the CSV files it will lock you out of the game now. Only the sqlite edit still works. You can no longer change individual members to only output gems.
If you just want to view it you need excel to open it
Hello Larissa, yes I only want to view the .csv files and of course I do have Excel. I was able to transfer a file to my desktop one time to view but as I noted….either it doesn’t transfer at all oor it transfers as an empty folder. I even installed ifunbox on my laptop to see if it was possibly a problem with my PC but same issue.
This worked for me a couple months ago and now I can’t get it to work again :(
I love you and I would marry you right know because of your advise on gems. <3. Thx
I changed the amount, and it showed the 15k. So I bought it, but then it told me it couldn’t connect to the store. But I was still charged! I got nothing, but paid the $1 for it. What a rip off….
Hi! I was wondering how you do this hack with coins because I’m trying it and it’s not working. Thanks!
Hi! Could I please have specific instructions on how to do the money hack? I know you said you basically just replace it with he gems, but it didn’t work, so please can I have instructions for it? Thnks!!
Worked well! I have lots of gems :-)
Thanks!
i feel uncomfortable about using this hack as it would mean my credit card details and stuff would be made known to pocketgems. would an itunes card work? i could buy it from a convenience store.
Hack worked on Campus Holiday AND Campus Life, but I got greedy and used it like three times in a row (tricking the game into buying 15,000 gems for 99 cents each time) and THAT got me banned on both apps. . . If by some miracle I am able to get un-banned, would you recommend trying again, Girlplaysgame, but only using it ONCE? :(
Hehehhe don’t get greedy :) If you are unbanned, just try it once!
I’ve learned my lesson, Girlsplaysgame :)
You don’t think they would be, like, “watching me” now? You were banned and got unbanned, right?
Hahaha, no I don’t think they watch. I got unbanned before (after 6 months of being banned) and started hacking again and I haven’t been banned. But I got bored so I haven’t played in forever :)
Good to know :) Thanks!
LOL! I tried this just now on Runway Life. Worked great the first time on gem purchase. Sigh. But, then I got greedy and tried it for cash. I just got BANNED!!! First time ever. Oh well. The game was pissing me off anyway. It was a major rip off. 25 gems for every photoshoot for the “Premium” models. Screw that. And, the cost for the regular models was increasing exponentially. Plus, the clothing was costing more than I spend for clothing for myself. For virtual models. They dress better than I do!!! LOL! As if!!! There were shirts and gowns that were 199 gems each, which was roughly $20.00 worth of gems. BITE ME, POCKET GEMS!!! They have gotten so damn greedy, it’s not even funny. Sigh. So much for spending my hard earned cash on their games. It was tough love XD
The yacht trick on campus life works very well, thanks so much :) I’ve been using this and it’s like having unlimited gams there. But I can’t figure out how to do this for campus holiday. They have a snow sleigh which is similar to the yacht but can’t be found in ifunbox
Not banned?
Wich version use?
Sorry:) which
I would like to hack this game the same way as the Campus Life sqlite hack, but Campus Holiday’s sqlite.shm and sqlite.wal is preventing me to make any changes. Is there a way to go around this issue?
a yers ago i banned 3 months but i used jailbreak :)
now i try cl holiday hack but only 1000 gems… i waiting what happen next banned or not :)
but i hope that campus life not banned beacuse i hack only holiday
This hack perfect work in campus holiday!
but when i try campus life, open the game and i get this message: “….Connect the server…”
i close and open again, the game run but the diamond not change :(
what is the problem?
I can’t afford to pay any money for this. Not even a dollar, is there any way I can make the gems free?
