Home Street- How to Increase Your Storage

The question I have been asked most about Home Street so far is ‘how do I increase my storage?’ and ‘where is my storage?’

Where is the storage/storeroom?

Your storage is this shelving unit:

If you click on it you can see all the items you have made and collected, you also have a capacity, once you reach the capacity you have to increase your storage so you can store more items. Click on increase storage:

You will need items to increase your storage, these will change each time you increase the storage. If you don’t know how to find an item click on the question mark and it will say something like ‘measuring tape occasionally drops when completing jobs’ this means when you complete jobs you have a chance of finding measuring tapes but you aren’t guaranteed to find them so it can take some time!

Check out my Home Street: The Basics post if you are unsure about jobs

Where can I get notebooks and other items?

Notepads occasionally drop when completing jobs:

Below I have listed some items and how you can find them, this is just the ones I know about so far!

  • Encyclopedia- occasionally drops when completing jobs
  • Portrait- make on the easel
  • Landscape- make on the easel
  • Still Life Painting- make on the easel
  • Measuring tape- occasionally drops when completing jobs
  • Bird house- make on the woodworking table
  • Rocking horse- make on the woodworking table
  • Power tool- occasionally drops when completing jobs
  • Planks- occasionally drops when completing jobs
  • Sketch- make on the drafting table
  • Energy drink- occasionally drops when completing jobs
  • Cupcakes- make on the baking oven
  • Carrot cake- make on the baking oven
  • Red velvet cake- make on the baking oven
  • Notepad- occasionally drops when completing jobs
  • Vegetables- make on the garden bed
  • Flowers- make on the garden bed
  • Woolly hat- make on the loom
  • Stripy socks- make on the loom

2.A pop up will appear, scroll down until you find the ‘adopt cat’ and ‘adopt dog’ options, select the one you want to adopt:

3.Another pop up will appear, this will show you a list of all the dogs or cats available to adopt right now, they will have a name and if you hover over them it will show you the breed they are, their age (whether they are a puppy/kitten or adult) gender, whether they can have babies and their traits:

4.Select the one you would like to adopt by clicking on them and clicking on the tick:
