Earning money and improving your home
TipsIn short
Jobs and gardening are your two main income streams, and everything you earn can go straight back into your home.
Money comes from two places: sending characters to work and harvesting crops from your garden. Having several characters in different jobs at the same time brings in more income than relying on one. Once you have funds, you can move to a better house, buy new furniture, or decorate the space you already have.
Tips worth knowing
- Apply for jobs to earn money and receive promotions.
- Put multiple characters in different jobs to increase your income.
- Grow crops in the garden and harvest them for an extra source of cash.
- Hire a gardener to handle crop management.

Relationships and exploring the map
Summary
In short

Different venues and locations are scattered across the map, and visiting them lets your characters meet others. The more time characters spend together, the stronger their bond becomes — but you can also push relationships in the opposite direction and make enemies.
- Map exploration visit different venues to encounter other characters.
- Friendship building spending time together raises the friendly relationship level between characters.
- Rivalry option you can steer relationships toward hostility instead of friendship.
- Home relationships you also set up relationships between your own residents when creating the household.

Common questions
FAQWhat should I do first when I start playing?
Create your residents and customize their personalities and appearances, then choose a home. From there, give them basic daily instructions — cooking, cleaning, and resting. Once you have the hang of it, send them to work so money starts coming in.
How does gardening make me money?
You grow crops on your property and collect cash when you harvest them. You can also hire a gardener to take over the day-to-day management.
Do I need to spend Robux to keep up with other players?
No. All the main features — jobs, skill development, home upgrades, gardening, and exploration — are available without any purchase.
How do I get my characters promoted at work?
Promotions are tied to skills, particularly the knowledge skill. Keep characters doing activities that raise their skills, and higher-paying job tiers become available to them.
