YoVille for Newbie | Getting Started with YoVille

Stone Age YoVille People? Nah!.

Make some money
Go to the factory to get more coins. You can walk to it but it's a lot easier to get to it by clicking it on the map (upper left corner). Once you are inside the factory click on the machine that everybody is crowded around to clock in and get your pay. You can work every six hours.

Get some new clothes
Walk to the Clothing Store or teleport to it using the map. It's the store that says "Fashion" in the lower right of the map. Walk up to the counter and click on the star. Choose out a new outfit and buy it. When you are done click on the Change Clothing button right above the main game and choose to wear your new duds.

Decorate your apartment
Your room starts out pretty sparse. It's your job to decorate it and get people to rate it so you can climb up the rankings. Go to the furniture store (right next to widget factory) and buy some new furniture. Go back to your house. The easiest way is to click on the Go Home button above the main game. Once you are in your apartment, that button changes to Edit Room. Click it and you can drag your new items into your room, move your old items around, or rotate objects. You start out with three rooms to decorate, as you progress in the game you may find ways to get more rooms.

Meet people and make friends
Walk outside your apartment by clicking on the door to the left of your living room. There are usually a lot of people hanging around outside the apartment. To chat with somebody type a message in the box at the bottom of the game right next to the smiley faces. You can click send or hit Enter on your keyboard. Introduce yourself and try and make some friends. If you find somebody you like, click on them and select "Add as A Buddy". Now they will be on your buddy list (the button with two people at the bottom of the game). You will be able to see them online and teleport to them directly when you want. They will also be able to see you and teleport to you.
