|  The
house menu
The house menu is your means to manage your house. From there
you can manage security, customize your house, demolish or
sell it, and obtain additional information. You open this
menu by clicking on the house sign.
In addition to the house menu, there are a number of spoken
commands that you can use to lock down or secure items
in your house, or ban persons from it.
Information
This screen shows basic information about the house: the
owner, its value, whether or not it is improperly placed or
condemned, etc.
The Refresh Status shows one of three values:
- Automatic: this is a Primary house and does not need to
be refreshed. It will remain standing indefinitely as long
as the Refresh Status remains Automatic.
- Grandfather: this is a Grandfathered house, meaning, its
on an account with more than 1 house.
- Condemned: this house is condemned and will decay
and fall within 5 days See the Housing Rules for more information
on these types of house status.
Security
This screen allows you to add or remove co-owners and friends
of the house, and set the house to be public or private. See
the section on house management for
information on co-owners / friends and public/private houses.
Storage
This screen shows you the available storage space in your
house, and how much you have used up.
Maximum Secure Storage is the total maximum storage of your
particular house. Secure Storage is comprised of:
- Items in the moving crate
- Locked-down items
- Vendors and the items they carry
- Secure containers
The Available Storage number tells you how much storage space
you still have left.
The Maximum and Available number of lockdowns indicates the
number of items you can have locked down in your house. The
Maximum Lockdowns is always half of the Maximum Secure Storage.
Note that locked-down items also count towards the total Secure
Storage.
Customize
This menu allows you to:
- Convert to customizable House: This converts a pre-built
house into an empty plot on which you can then build a house
of your own design. You will be refunded the value of your
old home, and then charged the cost of the empty plot.
The empty plot will have the same footprint of your old
house (except for Large Towers), and the same number of
maximum lockdowns and secure storage. Any items, add-ons
and vendors that were in your house will be stored in the
moving crate (see House Customization).
Note that Castles, Keeps, and L-shaped houses cannot be
converted into customizable plots, due to their odd-shaped
footprints.
- Relocate moving crate: This will move the moving crate
to the location on which you are standing.
 Change
house sign: This allows you to pick the image on your house
sign [images], if your house is a public one. Private houses
always have the same sign which cannot be changed.- Change Foundation Style: this changes the appearance of
the edge of the dirt plot upon which your house is built.
 Change house
sign hanger: you can choose the house sign hanger if your
house is customizable.- Change signpost: this changes the pole to which your house
sign is affixed (if the sign is not fixed to an adjacent
wall)
- Rename House: Allows you to change the name shown on the
house sign.
Ownership
From this menu you can demolish your house or transfer it
to someone else.
The 'Make Primary' option is active only for grandfathered
houses. Setting a grandfathered house to Primary will cause
it to be refreshed automatically, while all your remaining
houses will become Condemned. |
