The drug trade of Schedule I isn't only about the production of illicit substances but also selling them, and players have to create a network of clients in every region of Highland Park. Every region in the game has different standards when it comes to product and service, and clients in some neighborhoods are willing to pay more for better product.

Schedule 1: The Best Sweatshop Layouts, Ranked

There are a number of ways that Schedule 1 players can use the Sweatshop as they grow their business.

The best region for dealing is a matter of opinion, with some locations being less demanding but yielding much less in terms of business, while others have much higher standards and more financial advantages. Players can also buy Properties and Businesses in virtually every part of town when they find a region they like to move to permanently because even the friendly neighborhood drug dealer needs a safe space.

6 The Docks

Unlocks At Enforcer I

  • Main Dealer: Jane Lucero
  • Service Standard: Moderate

The Docks is a region dominated by several oversized buildings on the waterfront, such as the Docks Warehouse, but the area is bigger than it looks and accommodates nine customers. Randy's Bait And Tackle is one of the few businesses here, and players can buy the substantial Warehouse if they don't already own it.

Schedule 1: The Best Mixing Ingredients, Ranked

For players looking to experiment with ingredients in Schedule 1, these are some of the best items to try.

Keep an eye out for the random police checkpoints that occasionally pop up on the main road, and bear in mind how isolated it is, with limited ways to get in and out. Other parts of town offer a lot more in the way of shortcuts and hiding places. The pier is a dead end, in case the player has moved into the Warehouse nearby, but there's a nice view of coastal Westview and Northville to enjoy.

5 Suburbia

Unlocks At Block Boss I

  • Main Dealer: Wei Long
  • Service Standard: High

Suburbia is the lovely, verdant region that the player drove past in their Winnebago when first arriving in Hyland Point. It's another nice neighborhood with reliable clients and good cash flow potential, but it requires a vehicle because of its location.

Clients here have high standards across the board and expect their dealers to be functional and their product to be of High or Heavenly quality. By the time a player has reached the level of Block Boss I, they have the money and resources to use dry racks and different mixing recipes to please everyone here all of the time. Other than Uptown, this is where the most profit is to be had, so it's worth the trouble and investment.

4 Downtown

Unlocks At Hustler I

  • Main Dealer: Brad Crosby
  • Service Standard: Moderate

More of a place to shop than a place to deal, but that's why the player hires local dealer Brad Crosby to do the work while they buy real estate and launder money. Seed supplier Albert Hoover also appears in this region by the Mayor's house, down the street from the Casino, and Ray's Realty is also here, along with the Supermarket and Car Wash.

All Dead Drop Locations In Schedule 1

Dead Drops are essentially your personal mailboxes in Schedule 1. Here's a list of all the Dead Drops locations in the game.

There are ten customers located Downtown, which is slightly more than others, and the Moderate quality requirement gives the player some opportunities to sell mid-level product at similar prices. It's easy to get around this neighborhood on foot or with a skateboard, especially if the player is still living in nearby Northtown, and sometimes traveling without a car is more convenient.

3 Westville

Unlocks At Hoodlum I

  • Main Dealer: Molly Presley
  • Service Standard: Moderate

It's a nice neighborhood even for the NPCs, with the lakeside park complete with a statue. Westville is filled with clandestine dealing spots, and clients like to meet in the park, by the boardwalk, or at the construction site, which is also one of Albert Hoover's meeting places. The Gas Station is a convenient location for basic supplies, and the Bungalow is also located at the western end, which is one of the buildings that players can buy.

Molly Presley is a dealer in this neighborhood, and she's the second person after Benji Coleman who can help the main character move product. She can be found in the first-floor apartment near the road, which is conveniently located right next door to the Bungalow when it's time to refill her inventory.

2 Uptown

Unlocks At Baron I

  • Main Dealer: Leo Rivers
  • Service Standard: High

Money here is great, but as it is with Uptowns all over the world, standards are as high as the prices. Experienced dealers with a nose for customer service would do very well in this region, provided they can maintain a premium product and keep up with reliable delivery. This is the region where residents can spend ridiculous amounts of money on a variety of products, and players can mix to make some more powerful strains, powders, and crystals to serve this complex clientele.

Working in Uptown requires a car, although a player might be able to get by with a skateboard when just starting here with very few customers. This very lucrative region doesn't unlock until Baron I, and any player worth their crystal should have some kind of automobile by then.

1 Northtown

Unlocks At Street Rat I

  • Main Dealer: Benji Coleman
  • Service Standard: Low

The very first region in the game in which the player can live and work has all of the convenient locations that the player needs to get started. This is where the main character can find Dan's Hardware, the Warehouse, the Motel, and the Sweatshop, along with several shady locations for meeting clients. The skate park, basketball court, and behind the pizza place are a few favorites.

The money might be low relative to other neighborhoods, but so is the demand when it comes to quality control. These clients are also easier to placate when swapping out different products in a pinch, which can cause some clients to refuse a deal. It's partly intended as an extension of the tutorial, being the region in which the player starts, so it's also easier to navigate and contains all of the essential retail locations and amenities.
