Lego Fortnite Brick Lifeis a surprisingly robust life sim set in the Lego Fortnite world. Plenty of different aspects familiar to life sims are present, from having a job, exploring a city and its suburbs, hanging out with your friends, all the way to buying a house.
Your house is where you’re likely to spend quite a bit of time in Brick Life, so getting a house set up exactly the way you’d like it is going to be a priority. While it’s a fairly simple process, it’s not explained right off the bat; here’s everything you need to know.
How To Find A Vacant Lot
The first step to getting a house is tofind an empty lot of land. It isn’t immediately clear where to find these, but once you know what you’re looking for, it’s simple.
Finding A Vacant Lot On Your Map
When youaccess your map, there are going to be a few different symbols, each for different things to do around the city. The top left is going to show the key, and what you’re looking for is theblue house icon.
These will bescattered across the map in different places. In thecity, there will beapartments/flats available. If you prefer to have your own lot of land, you canhead outside the city, where you’ll be able toplace full houses.
Scouting Your Vacant Lot
Once you’ve decided on an empty lot to take a look at, you’ll want toscout out the areato see whether it’s a location you’d like to live in or not.
Different areas have very different color palettes and things nearby, and you’ll want to be sure you like the area you’re inbefore you build your home and start decorating.
How To Build A House
Once you’ve found the lot or flat that you’d like to have, all you have to do isclaim it by interacting with the real-estate sign. This iscompletely free, and you canclaim and unclaim a lot as much as you’d like.
Claiming a second lot or flat will remove your previous claim.
When you claim the lot, you’ll have the chance to choose what you’d like to build on it. When starting out, you won’t have enough money to buy a new house, butyou’ll have the Classy Craftsman available for free, or a Loftavailable for a flat.
How To Turn Visitors On And Off
Once you’ve built your house on the lot, the real-estate sign will turn into a mailbox. From there, you can unclaim your lot, which will make your house disappear, andyou can turn visitors on or off.
Leaving visitors on allows other players to wander into your houseand check things out. They won’t be able to damage or move anything, butif you’d rather keep your house to yourself, you can turn it off. This creates a field around your house that keeps other players out.
How To Move Your House
Moving your houseis very easy:simply unclaim the lot that your house is built on, andclaim a lot where you’d like to move to.
This is also perfectly fine to do with a house that you’ve already decorated.The decorations will be saved to that house, so that when you go to place it somewhere new,all the decorations come along with it.
You can remove decorations in bulk when placing a new house, if you’d like a fresh start. You’ll need to do this when claiming a new lot, as you select which house you’d like to place.
How To Buy A New House
Buying new houses is simple, but does require a bit of money. To do this,open up your in-game phone, andnavigate to the ‘Homes’ section. There are quite a few to choose from,ranging in pricefrom 10,000 to 50,000.
How To Decorate Your House
Todecorate your house, get inside your lot andselect the ‘Decorate’ buttondisplayed at the bottom left of your screen. From there, you canchoose between different decoration types, or enter’Edit' mode, which allows you to move or remove already placed decorations.
You can have amaximum of 150 decorationsplaced in your house.
How To Buy New Decorations
Buying new decorationsfollows the same process as buying a new house. Instead of the ‘Home’ section of your phone,head to the ‘Decor’ section. There are a lot of decorations to choose from, and you’ll need to purchase multiples of any decoration that you’d like to place more than once.
