+# Educating Yourself
+
+## Skills
+
+Most skills in the game can be leveled up through practice. For example, doing basic hairstyling on a character will allow you to improve hairstyling skills and give you access to more complex styles later.
+
+Psychology, childcare, healthcare, and sex are especially useful skills because they allow you to see more stats about characters during the game. Talking to kids and asking them how they are will help you improve your psychology skills, and sometimes will help childcare and healthcare skills. Feeding, washing, and looking after kids will improve childcare skills. Treating minor wounds will improve healthcare skills. Pushing characters down for sex will improve sex skills.
+
+## Lockpicking
+
+To get started lockpicking, there's a video on the dark web which you can access using the laptop in the main bedroom.
+
+## Learning about your local area
+
+You can find many locations just by leaving your house and walking around [the town](town).
+
+Some places require you to perform certain tasks to discover:
+
+* During the course of the game, you will occasionally receive mail pushed under your front door. This happens on random days. This mail can inform you about a few different locations, and you will be able to visit them after receiving mail about them.
+  * The Science Lab
+  * The Daycare
+  * The Café
+  * The Bar
+  * The Pet Shop
+* If you get a job at the photography studio, you will discover that location.
+* To discover the alley, you need to go to the bar, seduce a customer, take them into the bar's bathroom for some fun, and then leave using the back door.
+* To discover the convent, you need to walk around the church during the day time.
+
+## Learning about NPCs
+
+If you get an education in topics like childcare, psychology, and healthcare, the sidebar will start showing you a lot of information about NPCs, but there's some information it doesn't reveal.
+
+* Talents: NPCs have talents like singing, dancing, flexibility, cookery, and so on. You can learn about this by paying attention to what they're doing when you encounter them in the house (cyan links), eating their food, and generally interacting with them.
+* Favourite animals: all NPCs have a favourite animal, usually a cat, dog, rabbit, fox, or bear. They'll sometimes mention this when watching nature documentaries on TV. If you dress them in clothes matching their favourite animal, this will make them happier and they may act in slightly animalistic ways (purring if they like cats, etc).
+* Favourite erogenous zones: some NPCs (but not all!) will have that one spot in their body that turns them on. Try kissing their ears, neck, breasts, and feet, and you may find it.
+* Favourite holes: after they've got some experience with vaginal, anal, and oral sex, girls will develop a preference for the hole they favour. This can affect their willingness for sex: if a girl's favourite hole is her ass, she might be more likely to agree to anal sex than vaginal.
