Desperate Housewives: The Game is a life simulation adventure game developed by Liquid Entertainment and released by Buena Vista Games in 2006, in the style of The Sims games. It is based on the television series Desperate Housewives.
The game begins when a family moves to Wisteria Lane: a successful doctor working at the Fairview Medical Center, a wife with a forgotten past after a jogging accident, and their son. In the game, the player takes on the role of the wife, and is able to customise her and build relationships with other characters. Edie Britt first introduces the wife to Wisteria Lane and visits Bree Van de Kamp, who invites her to gossip at her house along with Susan Mayer, Lynette Scavo and Gabrielle Solis. A pair of brothers then visit the player's house: Daniel Fox, a famous designer and his twin brother Frank Fox, who installs an Internet service in the player's computer. The player's character then progresses through episodes, completing tasks that range from gardening and cooking for player's family, to discovering the secrets of the neighborhood.
The player must battle off a love rival to her husband – his secretary Jackie Marlen who stops at no cost to get what she wants – and the cranky neighbor, Etta Davenport. She must also deal with the antics of her unruly 14-year-old son and the people around him. Other residents are not as nice as they seem when a private investigator, Erik Larsen, shows up in town alongside a shady businessman, Vincent Corsetti, who seems to have ulterior motives. In the end, their secrets are aired to the public and a desperate decision is made in a hostage situation.
The game features four possible endings. The player can decide to run away with Erik Larsen or Vincent Corsetti, or remain married to her husband. A fourth ending allows the player to shoot all three men.

How to play on Windows 10
1) I downloaded CDEmu along with the files here. Unzip the Desperate Housewives files, right click the CD 1 file that is marked .MDS
Open this with CDEmu, use the default settings and it will set up a fake digital ‘disc drive’ on your laptop. Click on my computer, the disc drive you just invented, and find the setup for the game.
When it asks for CD2, use Alt + Tab to go to your CD2 folder and mount THAT .MDS file, ejecting disc 1 by clicking on it first.
Do not touch crack yet. When I did this everything was fine except there was no .exe in the game folder. So I just copied the .exe from the crack folder into the one that the disc setup gave me and it worked perfectly.
If you need any more help you can always add me on my Discord @myergirl and I will try my best! <3
You should litteraly go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Buena Vista Games\Desperate Housewives , or wherever you have it installed and copy the crack there.
