Alright, update. I never got the original goals back. I did have other goals which I have since completed, and now...nothing. No phone calls, not a peep from Simon or Maria or Kim or anyone.
I play on my desktop, via Facebook. I don't have any friends other than the in-game contacts. I haven't backed anything up, no. One of the jobs was a party at Brew Palms, one was a magazine cover in Paris, and one was a commercial. There were a couple more but I'm not certain of what they were off the top of my head.
