Relationships

There are two aspects

to your relationship with each of your neighbors, and here you can check on the status of each. Next to the photo of each neighbor, you’ll see a green bar and a blue bar. The green bar indicates your Friendship level with that neighbor, and the blue bar indicates your Respect level. To get really close to someone, you’ll need to be kind enough to earn their friendship, while being supportive and/or manipulative to earn their respect.

Budget

Secrets may be the most valuable resource in Wisteria Lane, but money comes a close second. Overseeing your family’s budget, you’ll need to spend to keep

your family happy, your yard maintained, and to buy clothes, medicine, and services, such as gardening or house-cleaning. The weekly poker game with Wisteria Lane’s other housewives, or online poker through your family’s computer, is a great source of income. And if you are feeling adventurous, try breaking into somebody’s house, stealing some stuff, and selling them at the pawn shop. Really!

Wall Height

These buttons allow you to adjust the height of the interior walls of a home. If you are having trouble clicking on things, try lowering the walls!

Secrets

Keep your eyes open as you go about your day and you’re likely to notice more than one of your neighbors doing something… odd. This may surface through Chat conversations or occasionally you’ll come across misplaced objects. Just keep digging!

Sneaking

Some secrets only make it out into the gossip circle as rumors. And sometimes they don’t escape at all. For these you’ll need to dig deeper. A lot deeper. Do so by sneaking into homes late at night while the secret- holder is sleeping – or during the day when he or she is off at work. Nose into anything that looks interesting.

To sneak into someone’s home, click the target’s front door and select ¸:ULHR0U[V¹(5VPZL4L[LY^PSSHWWLHYVU`V\YZJYLLU[VSL[`V\RUV^OV^ sneaky you really are. If the Noise Meter moves too far into the red, stop what you’re doing and hold still.
