Overview
Sleeping Dogs has a ton of collectible items to discover, most of which, thankfully, can be seen on the map. However finding upgrades for your safehouse is a bit trickier since the vendors are unmarked and are spread all over the map. Although the upgrades are purely cosmetic, with no rewards or achievements, they do pimp up your home quite nice.
Introduction
Sleeping Dogs has a ton of upgrades and items to collect. But there are vendors scattered throughout the map that sell house upgrades and they can be hard to find. There are a total of 16 upgrades, 4 for each safehouse and they are purely cosmetic.
This guide features a complete map and a more detailed section-by-section breakdown of where to find the vendors.

North Point
“Those are all found in the Night Market area not far from your first apartment, I just did a circuit of the area and found these easy enough.
1. Air Conditioner ($4620) – Standing next to a wall behind some stalls.
2. Brand New Bed ($5000) – Inside a tented stall.
3. Pet Bird ($1200) – Has a stall made up with birdcages on tables around her.|pic
4. Massive Sound System ($9550) – Down the western alley that cuts through Night Market.”
Central
“5. Sofa Set ($14000) – This guy is right by the waterline, the easiest way is to follow the highway all the way along and just before the turn at it’s furthest east point you’ll see a little turn off on the left. Once you get down turn left, and under some covers right next to the sea wearing blue overalls is our man.
6. Coffee Table and Rug ($7200) – This is an easy one to find, head to the K-Bar (on the map it’s the karaoke bar in central), down the stairs is a man in a red shirt with a waistcoat. Simples.
7. Dragon Tapestry ($3000) – A man in a black suit just inside the small shopping mall area directly northeast of the words Wah Fi Storage on the map, and below the clothing store.
8. Ancient Vase ($8000) – When you reach the area shown on the map you’ll need to get higher to the levels with the walkways over the road and the row of red flags. Up there you should see a building with TorEx written in big red letters, next to that building and directly opposite a walkway is a small gap between buildings. In there is a woman stood next to an elevator playing with her phone, that’s our dealer.”
Kennedy Town
“9. Fish ($850) – An easy one, he’s just opposite the car salesman.
10. Hot Tub ($25000) – Once you wake up after your first night in the fancy house head down the drive and look left. You should see the speech bubble straight away, if not he’s across the road and a short way down the little alley.
11. Tropical Plant Service ($1200) – In the alley right next to the last salesman, as you walk down it you should see a red house on your right. Next to this house is the lady we need.
12. Idol of Guan Yu ($4000) – Where the marker is on the map above is a house that has a health shrine on the upper floor. Under the health shrine and just next to the carpark is a man flogging this.”
Aberdeen
“13. Giant Movie Poster ($250) – Right next to where the giant freeway breaks into three (coming from the south).When you can see the large blue signs for North Point and Kennedy Town look to the east. Ducking down in the corner of a few shop windows is our man.
14. Strange Idol ($12000) – Head to the apothecary shop on the map, go south from there and you’ll see a building with a staircase either side of it, go up the southern stairs, up there is a lady parting with a family heirloom, enjoy.
15. Awesome Pet Bird ($3000) – Down near the ports is a little market area, this stall has birdcages on it and is just west of the Massage parlour.
16. Stolen Art ($5200) – Keep heading west from the bird lady whilst looking out to sea so you can see the boats. You should see two double decker floating houses soon enough, one is pink the other is light blue. Round the back of the light blue house leaning against the wall is a man in a black suit with some dodgy artwork.
