🛋️ Using things at home
Furniture actions, pantry recipes, NEPA power, generator fuel, gadgets and HANDI quality.
Floor plans and storeys
Home tiers use five floor plans: container studio, apartment, grand flat, duplex and villa. Go upstairs or downstairs walks your Sim along the duplex staircase. In Home Studio, select furniture and choose its floor; save to apply. Upstairs furniture keeps the same ownership, actions and rewards. Use an item from its own floor. Older layouts default to the ground floor, keep their saved coordinates and get openings where new walls would cross existing furniture.
Tap furniture or use Mine
Open Home → Furniture and choose Use on an owned item. In the 3D room, tapping a placed furniture mesh opens its own two-column action panel. Each card shows real seconds, Free or a price, need and skill badges, and any lock reason. Effects use the exact item you clicked, not a different bed or TV. Start the activity and finish its countdown; the top activity card still supports cancellation.
Portable gadgets live in Mine on the Furniture tab and in Buy → Gadgets. The phone is included. A laptop or tablet needs a placed desk or counter; a console needs a placed TV and power. Stored furniture cannot be used.
Undo in Home Studio steps through free decorating changes only. It never reverses a purchase or sale. Select several pieces in Home Studio to change their colours or brightness together. You can save up to eight named room looks, apply one to a draft and save the room. Undo also restores batch appearance changes; it never changes ownership.
Beds and bathrooms
A clicked bed uses its own recovery rate. Quick Sleep selects a suitable placed bed. Beds also offer Lounge in Bed for 36 seconds and Make the Bed for 4 seconds; making a bed gives no extra need or skill reward. A damaged item works at reduced quality until a HANDI repair is completed. The visitor switch opens or closes your home to new visit requests, not permission for a particular piece of furniture.
Sleep, Nap and Lounge in Bed now use the selected bed: your Sim walks to a clear bedside, sits, lifts their legs and lies down. Finishing or cancelling gets them back up; cancelling while approaching simply stops the walk. Refreshing restores the same bed and timer. Keep a bedside or foot-end path clear. The animation does not change activity duration or rewards.

Sofas and television
A sofa supports Kick Back & Relax, Nap on Sofa, Gist on Phone and Sit & Chill. These restore combinations of Fun, Energy and Social.
A powered TV supports Nollywood, Super Eagles, Big Brother Naija, news and a cooking show. News builds Charisma; the cooking show builds Cooking. The Small TV starts at ₦10,800, the Cinema Wall TV costs ₦18m, and larger screens give more Fun. The projector is also a supported screen.
Cooking and pantry groceries
A new life starts with a small pantry. Cooking consumes listed groceries only when the activity completes. Cook Jollof restores 65 Hunger. Egusi & Eba, Efo Riro & Semo, Egusi & Ugu Soup and Roast Corn & Ube need Cooking 2. Chin-Chin needs the Cooker & Oven.
Cookers are Kerosene Stove ₦1,100, Gas Cooker ₦8,400 and Cooker & Oven ₦420k; the outdoor kitchen also works. A cooler, fridge or counter supports no-cooker garri, bread & egg, Milo and Gala. Fridge/deep-freezer drinks and fruit use pantry stock.
Get what is missing opens a real Balogun or Chowdeck basket. Balogun applies a 15% discount. Chowdeck adds 10% plus ₦200 delivery. Buying the basket adds only the missing quantities to your pantry; it does not bypass cooker, power or Cooking requirements.
