House Controller
The House Controller is a placeable utility furniture item that acts as a dedicated, wall-mounted local control terminal for your property.
Rather than using a hand-held personal tablet, players can interact directly with the physical controller on the wall to manage the property they are currently inside.
Obtaining & Placing
- Open the property management menu and enter Decorate/Design Mode.
- Go to the Utility catalog category.
- Purchase the House Controller tablet.
- Position and mount the controller onto any wall inside the property.
- Exit Design Mode.
Interaction & Usage
Once placed, any citizen with entry/key access to the property can walk up to the wall tablet and target it (using the targeting system or prompt) to Access Controller.
Dedicated Control Panel View
When accessed, the UI loads in a special wall-mounted context frame overlay:
- Route Lock: The interface is locked exclusively to the manager route of the current property.
- No Sidebar/Global Pages: The hand-held tablet sidebar (giving access to Listings, Land Market, personal Banking, etc.) is hidden, preventing users from browsing other parts of their tablet from the wall controller.
- No Return Option: The back button is disabled; exiting the controller simply closes the UI overlay and returns the player to in-world character control.
Features Managed
Through the House Controller, residents and managers can configure:
- Doors & Locks: Lock or unlock the physical entrance.
- Security & Alarms: Enable/disable alarms, view live CCTV cameras, and upgrade security reinforcement.
- Utilities: Toggle the master power switch (lights) or water valves, and manage active service subscriptions.
- Guest Keys: Grant, view, or revoke temporary access keys to other citizens.
- Stash & Wardrobes: Manage the property storage vault contents and outfits directly from the local system interface.
