How to unlock the Retail Therapy achievement in Grand Theft Auto IV - Definitive Guide

Reach 75% like with Little Jacob, friendship is unlocked after the mission 'Shadow' is completed.

Little Jacob likes the following activities:
-Darts
-Pool
-Drinking
-Eating *Preference- Cluckin' Bell
-Show
-Strip Club
(Only call between 1pm-4am or % will go down for waking him up)

Friendship goes down in % by:
-Late to meeting (minor impact)
-Don't show up (moderate impact)

Ability:
-Call Little Jacob and he will drive to a location near you and you can buy weapons from the trunk of his car.

Jobs:
When completing one of Jacob's jobs (on the phone, NOT main missions) in single player, his respect for you goes up 1%-3% every time, so it may be worth doing this achievement once you've completed the campaign.

*Note* If you vote down please PM so i can improve my solution

*Thanks to Vor Calv 06 for improving my solution*

-Good Luck!

It might be worth updating your guide to include he's awake between 1PM and 4AM. And also the possibility that ringing him when not awake might make % go down like some other friends. And also that JACOBS JOBS ON THE PHONE NOT MAIN MISSIONS will give you plus 1% like and 3% respect per job completed.

EDIT: Phoning Jacob on the call option is no problem at any time. But if you use 1 of the other options. Pool,darts,etc when he's asleep you will go down 1% like for waking him up

To get this achievement you have to reach 75% like with little Jacob.
(you get that by calling him and hanging out with him) Then you can go to his name on your phone and there be an option to buy guns.

To unlock the special ability you have to be "liked" by Little Jacob at 75% if you manage to reach that and don't get his call just wait a little and he will call you. Hope this helps.
