Our Neopets

Now who wouldn't enjoy the privacy and comfort of a brand new luxurious neohome? These houses can be built from anything ranging from cardboard, chocolate, straw to expensive gold. The most interesting thing about neohomes is that you are never done with 3 floors, you can build extensions to your home, build stairways and doors, a garden, buy insurance, install different systems of lightings, decorate your walls and floor, buy furniture and place it in your neohome. Land for your neohome can be abywhere in neopia.

How do I start building my neohome?

To build your neohome, you must first apply for a plot of land from the councils and builders. To do this, go to neopet central (located on the yellow navigation bar) and click on the icon that says "Your NeoHome" . After this, you will then be taken to a screen where you can choose where you want your plot of land. Each plot of land has a different price range to choose from so the rich and the poor can each have their own neohomes. After choosing where you want your neohome to be built, it usually takes from 2 - 5 hours before the application is approved. You will be notified of your approved or disapproved application by neomail.

I have my neohome, now what do I do?

After you have your neohome, you may then start building your rooms! You should decide on what material to use depending on what typing of neopet you have. For instance, if you have a dinosaur type neopet, then it would be best to build your rooms out of stones so your neopet is more comfortable in its surroundings. A little variation never hurt since some of the materials are quite expensive. Start building rooms, from the main screen of your neohome. Click on the link that says "My NeoHome" and you will be taken to a screen where you will see a large square divided into many smaller squares of unbuilt land. Click on any square and a window will pop up asking you what material you want to use and where you want your doors to be:

North: Up
East: Right
South: Down
West: Left

Construction usually takes between 1 - 5 hours.

Can I build more than one room at a time?

No you can not. Your construction workers can only concentrate on one task at a time. Have patience the longer they take, the better job they do.

I have built my rooms, now what do I do?

After you have built your first room, you are able to upgrade your room by clicking on "Extension Operations" located on the main page of your neohome. Here, you are able to upgrade your security, lighting systems, heating systems, wall coverings and floor coverings.

Can I cancel my constructions and will I get my money back?

Yes you can, you cancel your constructions, go to Building Status located in your neohome main page and you can cancel your constuction from there. However, your construction workers are prepaid and they will not refund you.

How many neohomes am I allowed to have?

Only one.

How do I put furniture into my neohome?

You must first buy furniture. These can be bought from various furniture shops from the market place, the shops, the tyrannian furniture store which specializes in stone furniture and the maracquan underwater furniture store. Once you have bought it, go to your inventory, click on the item and select 'place in neohome'.

NeoHome, Gardens and Tips

Tip for those that would like to build a NeoHome, and build gardens as well

Build your house. Make sure you get all the building extensions that you want like insurance, flooring, lights, etc, BEFORE you build a single garden. The reason for this is Neopets counts a garden as a room. The building extensions are priced per room, so if you have gardens it will drive the price up. Why pay for flooring that you don't want in a garden.

When you look at someone's userinfo, Neopets counts gardens as rooms (for example your user info says: "NeoHome: 11 rooms"). But when you go to the Extension Options page, neopets doesn't count gardens as rooms anymore. (at the extension options-page it tells to you "Rooms: 9" because you have 2 gardens). So you won't be paying for flooring or wallpapers for a garden.

Getting the extensions without the added costs!

If you want a new room AND an extension, then you should do this:

Submit your order to build the room, and go get an extension right away.

If you do that, you don't have to pay for the extra extension when you build the room, and you don't have to pay for the extra room when you get the extension! It's a win-win situation!
