Your First Home: A Beginner's Guide to Moving In

Congrats, you've created your first Parafolk! Now it's time to choose a home and begin your adventure in Melino. Whether you're moving into a cozy apartment or your dream house, this guide will walk you through what to expect, what to buy first and a few beginner tips to help you settle in.

What You'll Learn

What You'll Learn

  • Basic understanding of the town

  • Moving into a lot

  • What to buy first

  • Understanding household funds

  • Tips & tricks

Choosing your first home

Apartments

Here is where you can move into a ready-made apartment that's perfect for smaller households.

Houses

Here is where you can choose from furnished or unfurnished homes with more space to grow.

Empty Lots

Here is where you can start with a completely blank canvas and build your dream home from scratch.

The town of Melino is jampacked with tons of lot types. There are four main districts to live in with different vibes in each. Narrowing in on residential though:


  • 9 pre-built, unoccupied homes/apartments that you can move into immediately.

  • 10 empty residential lots if you'd rather build your own home from scratch.

  • 25 occupied residential homes already lived in by the town's pre-made Para's.


    If you are not comfortable with navigating small spaces, I would not choose a building that is smushed between others.

My Top Choice

The best of the best homes in town! Great views and style.

THE Starter Home

Sell stuff in the basement and make it the perfect one story!

Best Apartment

Great location to the town plaza and fully furnished.

Tiniest Apartment

This apartment won't have much upkeep or bills!

Biggest Empty Lot

Overlook the town of Melino and build your dream home from scratch.
