A guide explaining each VIB feature in detail.



To purchase VIB, go to the bank located on the left sidebar and across the top of the page. You should see the VIB icon and a link to the page you can purchase VIB on. Choose the length of time you want to purchase VIB, and click the Paypal button that says "click here to buy." Once you have made the purchase, you should be able to use all of the VIB features.

At this time, all purchases are made with Paypal. The administrators have said that purchasing through cellular devices should be available sometime in the future.

When you purchase any VIB subscription, you are given a bimbo dollar bonus. These bonuses are listed on the VIB purchase page and later in this guide.

FAQ
Q: Can I purchase VIB with my cell phone?
A: As of right now, no. It is supposed to be available in the future.

Q: I already have VIB. What if I purchase it again before my subscription runs out?
A: The amount of time you purchase will simply be added on to your current subscription.



You can choose which VIB features you want to use, and turn off or ignore the others. To turn off options (or turn them on), go to your "My Bimbo" page, and then click on the "My VIB Status" link. You should end up on a page that looks like this:



The pink text at the top tells you when your VIB status ends, and what the current date is. It's good to be mindful of when your subscription ends.

Below that, each of the options are explained and you can choose whether or not you want to use that feature. If it's checked, you're using it. Always click the "update" button underneath the options when you change anything.

BUGS
» If you were a VIB at the time the 2010 Advent Calendar was in progress and you had the "Automatically Receive Gifts" option checked, you should have received the gifts for days that you didn't log in. Many people didn't. There isn't really any fix for this. You should contact support and be patient, as it may take them a long while to get back to you.


There is a tab labeled "Baby" on everyone's "My Bimbo" page, whether you have subscribed to VIB or not.

If you are not a VIB, the tab will tell you that only VIBs can adopt babies and link you to the page where you can buy it.



If you are a VIB, it'll ask you if you want to adopt a baby or show you the baby that you have already adopted.



When you choose to adopt a baby, you're taken to a page that allows you to choose the baby's name, hair color, skintone (the options are the same as for the bimbo), their mouth shape, and the color of their eyes. At the moment, there is no method of changing these options once the baby is adopted (this option should be available at a later time). There's also no method of getting rid of the baby (just as there isn't a way to get rid of your pet).

It doesn't cost any BD to adopt a baby and it doesn't need feeding/cleaning/etc. It also does not give your bimbo anything, such as BA.

Once you've adopted a baby, its picture will appear in that tab, along with its name, IQ, and a link to its wardrobe, the baby clothing shop, and the baby games.

At the moment, there isn't a way to change its name (this should be available later).

Your baby starts with an IQ of 10 and you can increase it by playing the baby games. The games consist of a balloon game, an art game, and a puzzle game.



The baby clothing shop consists of eight sections - accessories, diapers, dresses, feet, hats, overalls, tops, and trousies.



At the moment, there are over 200 items of clothing (counting the recolors of each item). All of them are available from level 1 and they're all relatively inexpensive.

 

There's a search option that allows you to specify category, minimum and maximum prices, and minimum and maximum levels. You can preview the items on your baby simply by clicking on them.



At the bottom of the shop page, there are options to view the items in order of price, level, or "normal" (which is by date added), and you can choose to view these in ascending or descending order.



The baby receives its own dressing room.



It has all of the options the bimbo's dressing room has with one addition: the ability to layer clothing. Along the bottom of the options are the thumbnails of everything the baby is wearing and when you choose one you are given the option to reposition it or change its layer. It generally works the same way that layering/positioning now does on your profile.

FAQ
Q: Do babies give BA?
A: No.

Q: Can you choose what your baby looks like?
A: Yes. You can choose its eye color, hair color, skintone, and mouth shape.

Q: Can you choose your baby's gender?
A: No, but you can name and dress it as whichever you prefer.


If you are VIB, you won't see the ads around the site, such as at the top of the forum.


There is a tab labeled "Boyfriend" on everyone's "My Bimbo" page, whether you have subscribed to VIB or not. If you are not a VIB, the tab will show you a picture of your boyfriend, his name and profession, what he gives you, the option to break up with him, and that you must be VIB to dress him and buy him clothes. If you are a VIB, it'll show your boyfriend in whatever you have dressed him in, the options to dress him and buy him clothes, and the other options mentioned above.



The boyfriend clothing shop contains seven categories - belts, bracelets, jackets, necklaces, shoes, tops, and trousers.



There are a few options in each category, making up a couple of tuxes (some from the wedding theme), casual outfits, and athletic outfits (from the WAGs theme).

The boyfriend also has his own dressing room with the same options mentioned before in the baby section.




You receive a BD bonus when you purchase the subscription and then 2000 BD for each month after that. The initial bonuses are 1000 BD for a one-month subscription, 12000 BD for a six-month subscription, and 24000 BD for a one-year subscription.


This feature is currently unavailable. Administration has said that, as it is a more complicated feature, it will take longer to complete. When (and if) it is ever added, it will allow players who create their own bimbo clothing to sell it to other players. No details have been given as to how it will be set up.


VIBs are able to purchase exclusive clothing that isn't available to non-VIB members. These clothes have their own section in Nine's.



There are currently 293 VIB clothing items. If you do not renew your VIB subscription, you will not be able to use the clothing once it runs out, but it will still be there for you if you ever decide to renew.

The items currently available:



Each item pictured above is also available in other colors.

BUGS
» VIB clothing does not disappear once your VIB subscription runs out. You still have full access to it. This bug has been present since VIB was first added.


VIBs appear more often on the challenge and duel lists. They can choose whether or not they want this feature activated by going to the "My VIB Status" page linked on their "My Bimbo" page and checking or unchecking the option.


VIBs are given more space to save outfits and photos. VIBs receive double the normal limit. (So if my normal limit is 80 outfits, my VIB limit is 160 outfits.) There is not currently any limit on how many photos anybody can store, but it is supposed to come sometime later.


VIBs can do their beauty routine beyond the normal limits and play the games more than once. They do not receive BA/BD/IQ for these extra visits/plays.

FAQ
Q: Do VIBs receive BA for their extra beauty visits?
A: No, they are only allowed the same amount as everyone else.


There are five extra games for VIBs. Two of them are from the Super Bimbo theme: Spot the Cat and the Memory Game. Together they give 170 BA (or less, depending on how well you play the games). The other three are the baby games mentioned in the baby section: Balloon Burst, Artist, and Jigsaw - they award baby IQ only.




VIBs receive 2x whatever storage they had before. If they could store 10 items, they can now store 20. If they could store 20 items, they can now store 40.


If a VIB enables this option on the "My VIB Status" page linked from their "My Bimbo" page, their bimbo's hunger, thirst, and weight will not change at all.


There are two VIB forum sections - one for reporting VIB-related bugs and one for chatting.


VIBs have two more options to search for bimbos with: level and game days.


VIBs have sales exclusive to them. So far, there has been only one - a 50% off sale in Nine's that lasted for about a week. This may be an annual event.


All training lengths are halved for VIBs. For example, the 90-day singer training becomes a 45-day training.

FAQ
Q: What if my VIB runs out in the middle of my training?
A: You will have the same amount of training days you would have if you had never had VIB. For instance, in the 90-day training, if you trained for 30 days with VIB, you would have 60 days left once your subscription runs out. If you want to purchase VIB for this benefit, you should be mindful of when your subscription will run out in relation to when your training ends.


VIBs can see the messages they've sent to others and whether or not the messages have been read. This is a feature that previously only available for moderators, but has been expanded to allow VIBs to use it. If the bimbo who received the message deletes it, it will also be deleted from the "Sent Mail" tab.


VIBs have one exclusive item in the Items Shops: the Big Pink Cake. It costs 1000 BD and, when eaten, adds 20 lbs and 100% happiness to your bimbo. Everyone, VIB or not, receives this cake on their bimbo birthday (100th, 200th, 300th, etc.), and they can be purchased in the Market by anyone. There is a goal on one of the later levels that requires you to have this cake in your inventory.
