Quick Answer
Build in four passes: structure, routing, functional zones, then visual refinement.
Build Priority Table
| Pass | Goal | Pitfall |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Core room envelope | Overcomplicating shape early |
| Routing | Efficient movement | Long cross-house paths |
| Function | Tool/work/life zones | Mixed-purpose clutter |
| Style | Atmosphere and identity | Style before usability |

FAQ
What makes Paralives build mode different?
Public previews emphasize high flexibility such as gridless placement, curved walls, split levels, and granular object adjustments, enabling more organic design workflows.
Should I design aesthetics first?
Start with routing and function first, then style; beautiful but inefficient homes create daily friction in live mode.
How often should I rebuild a lot?
At major lifestyle changes, not every day; frequent full rebuilds can stall progression.
Can compact homes outperform large houses?
Yes, especially early, because shorter pathing improves routine efficiency.
