NTE Home Decoration + Anomaly Furniture Complete Guide: 18 Buff Furniture, 7 Properties, Cohabitation System Explained

Key takeaway: The NTE home is one of the core progression systems, not mere decoration. There are now 7 properties (Wiener / Eden / Skyview / Golden Capital / Stillmeadow / Pegasus / Fenglin) + 18 Anomaly furniture (permanent Buffs / weekly income) + the Cohabitation system. 4 must-have Anomaly furniture for beginners: Mammon (25,000 to 75,000 Fons/week depending on level), Old Mailbox (stamina-free deliveries), Paper Plane (climbing stamina savings), Mechanic (repair cars at home). 1.1 added the Pegasus Residence (featuring a vehicle elevator) and Chaos as the first male character who can move in; 1.3 added Stillmeadow House, where you can farm.

NTE’s housing system is “the most underrated progression system” — Anomaly furniture isn’t just decoration, it’s a key progression item that provides permanent combat Buffs + weekly Fons income + exploration convenience. This article lays out the 7 properties, the 18 Anomaly furniture, how the Cohabitation system works, and Taygedo NPC’s true identity all in one place.

1.3 Property Update: Stillmeadow House

1.3 adds a new property, Stillmeadow House, priced at 6,900,000 Fons and available from City Tycoon Lv 13. You can farm here and spend City Stamina to sell what you grow for Fons. The same version also adds one-tap collection of what your Anomaly furniture produces, which saves a lot of back-and-forth if you own several homes.

1. Housing System Overview

Unlocking and Buying

• Unlock point: After finishing the tutorial, find the NPC “Chiz” at the “Pink Paw Bank” on the map to open a card → unlock the “City Tycoon” system
• Home-buying location: “Leon Real Estate” on the map, located in the Cooler Walking Street
• Payment currency: Fons
• Core level thresholds:
  • Lv 2 buy a car
  • Lv 4 open a coffee shop
  • Lv 5 unlock your first property (Wiener Apartments)
  • Lv 7, 9, 11 unlock Eden Apartments, Skyview Halls and Golden Capital
  • Lv 13 is enough for every property (Stillmeadow House, Pegasus Residence and Fenglin Villa all need Lv 13)

All 7 Properties Compared

Some traditional/simplified Chinese translated names differ slightly; prices are as shown in-game. The Pegasus Residence costs 500,000 Fons less than Fenglin Villa, holds the same 5 people, and can also take the Replica Ghost Car, so the ST79 livery no longer requires Fenglin.

The 3 Core Values of a Property

1. A carrier for Anomaly furniture — each home has a fixed built-in pool of Anomaly furniture, and you must buy the home before you can activate the Buffs
2. Cohabitation system entry point — invite an eligible character to move in; each type of interaction gives Affection the first time you do it
3. Comfort Level accumulation — Comfort is a condition for Tycoon level and the Renovation Guide, which gives Fons, Dreamless Seeds, furniture and Annulith

2. The Two Categories of Furniture

Regular Furniture Shop Locations

• In-home editing shop: basic sofas, beds, tables and chairs, cabinets
• Cooler Walking Street (next to Leon Real Estate): basic furniture + lighting
• Around Cape Plaza: appliance store (TVs, fridges, washing machines)
• Miguel District commercial street: large furniture showroom (matching sofa sets, dining tables, bedding)
• Old downtown district: second-hand furniture shop (retro styles, cheap prices)
• DSD trendy-toy shop: figures, decorations, gacha furniture

Price range: DeLuxor Decor sofas, chairs and tables 6,000–52,500 Fons; plants 3,000–14,000; fish tanks 15,000–22,500; murals 5,000–480,000

Anomaly Furniture Upgrade System

• Levels: the cap depends on the furniture and on the home it sits in. Most furniture goes to Lv 10, but the same piece can have a different cap in a different property, so the home you buy decides how far it can go
• Upgrade materials: each piece uses its own, for example Coveted Coins for Mammon, plus others such as Small Seeds, Forging Stone, Scale Pattern, Single Feather, Tomorrow’s Paint and Unquenched Scale (refreshed daily). The Mechanic levels up by spending Fons at car shops instead
• + Fuel EXP

Furniture whose cap differs by property:

Furniture with the same cap in every home: Silver Edge Butler 10, Twin Fish Banner 10, Compressed Boom Boom Cloud 6, Forgotten Helmet 4.

Caps are from GameWith (10/14); detailed values are as shown in-game.

4. Comfort Level Scoring System

• Name: Comfort Level
• Calculation: accumulates automatically when you place regular furniture
• Main Buff source: decorative and aesthetic furniture contribute the most to Comfort Level
• Achievement rewards:
  • Comfort is a condition for Tycoon level and the Renovation Guide, which gives Fons, Dreamless Seeds (a city skill material), furniture (a bed at stage 1, a record player at stage 3) and Annulith, not gacha tickets
  • Reaching Comfort Level 100 unlocks the Anomaly furniture “Compressed Boom Boom Cloud”
• Comfort Level and Anomaly furniture Buffs do not stack — the two are independent systems
• Collection Value: a separate track. Register furniture under Smart Control → My Collection to raise it; its levels raise your dash/dodge stamina cap and give Annulith and Dreamless Seeds

5. Cohabitation System (Only Some Characters Can Move In)

The 3 Unlock Thresholds

1. Own a property (from Tycoon Lv 5)
2. Own the character
3. Reach Bond level ≥ Lv 4 with the character

→ Once the conditions are met, an “Invite to Move In” option appears at the door interaction → Some interactions also need specific furniture, and pool interactions need a home with a pool (the cheapest is Eden Apartments)

Who Can Move In

Not every character can move in, so check before spending Affection. At launch there were only 5: Nanally, Mint, Fadia, Jiuyuan and Chiz. The list as of 10/15 has 13: Mint, Chiz, Jiuyuan, Fadia, Nanally, Hotori, Lacrimosa, Chaos, Shinku, Iroi, Zankou, Linko and Blackbird. Akane Rin and Elyms are not on that list, and whether they can move in is unconfirmed, so check in-game.

Interaction Content

• There is no fixed daily amount: each type of interaction gives Affection the first time you do it. It is a small amount and guides give different figures (some say +50, some about 100)
• The +200 Affection comes from City Hangouts: once a day, select characters only, and the cinema is one of the locations
• During cohabitation: hand-holding, hugging, head-pats, and chatting trigger small scenes / whispers
• The character moves around freely in the apartment and performs unique idle actions (sitting on the sofa, eating, watering plants, reading)
• Passive idle animations require no Bond level; active interactions require Lv 4+

6. 1.1 “Dreamwander Corridor” Update (Launching 2026/06/03)

Male-Character Cohabitation Opened for the First Time ⭐

• Chaos is the first male character who can move in, arriving with his 1.1 second-half banner, and the only male confirmed so far
• ⚠️ Major restriction: male and female characters cannot live in the same property at the same time (you must pick a side, or buy multiple homes to keep them separate)
• Adds the Ride Along system and Move-In deep interactions

New Property “Pegasus Residence”

• Price: 7,500,000 Fons, City Tycoon Lv 13, holds 5 people (500,000 Fons less than Fenglin Villa)
• Feature: a vehicle elevator (the Porsche 918 Spyder can be parked right at your front door)
• Takes the Replica Ghost Car: the ST79 livery no longer requires Fenglin Villa

Taygedo Mute Switch

• Many players complained strongly about Taygedo’s voice — overseas communities compared him to Paimon and found him even more annoying
• After 1.1 launches, you can mute him from the audio settings

See the 1.1 Version Preview for details.

7. What Exactly Is Taygedo? (Important Correction)

Many players think Taygedo is a pet — wrong!

• Taygedo is a story companion NPC, similar to Genshin’s Paimon
• Design: a TV-headed otter-type “Skia” (Anomaly creature)
• Identity: a clerk at the Ebon Antique Shop, three-time winner of “Ebon’s Best Repairer”
• Character role: the protagonist’s partner when they first arrive in Hetherly City
• Talks alongside the protagonist throughout, mostly expressed in a “Taygedo taygedo taygedo” style (which is exactly why people find him annoying)

The Real Pet System

The game has a separate “pet-raising” achievement system (such as “Just one more pet… please!” and “Can I pet it!”) — pets can be petted and fed, but they are independent content from the Cohabitation system / Anomaly furniture.

8. Furniture Acquisition Channels Summary

9. Recommended Acquisition Order (Must-Read for Beginners)

Ranked by “value / difficulty of acquisition”:

1. ⭐⭐⭐ Mechanic (after buying your first home at Tycoon Lv 5, repair a car once at Rampage; GameWith notes the free starter scooter cannot be repaired, so buy a car first)
2. ⭐⭐⭐ Mammon (Wiener Apartments; the auction opens after main story Chapter 3, and you must win Glutton’s Gaze when it is listed)
3. ⭐⭐⭐ Old Mailbox (Eden Apartments, obtained from your first city delivery)
4. ⭐⭐ Paper Plane (photograph it with a drone, no combat needed)
5. ⭐⭐ Dream Weaver’s Knot (Eden Apartments, obtained by placing a bed)
6. ⭐⭐ Nameless Blade + Empty Shell (Skyview Halls, Anomaly combat rewards)
7. ⭐ Replica Ghost Car (Fenglin Villa or the Pegasus Residence, after finishing the Drift Away, Legend! side quest)
8. ⭐ Hamster Ball (you must own Hathor to get it)

10. The “NTE Twist” on the Furniture System

Compared with the housing systems in Genshin Impact / Zenless Zone Zero, NTE’s unique selling points:

• ✅ Anomaly furniture provides permanent Buffs + weekly income (not just decoration)
• ✅ No gacha store (everything is obtained through in-game achievements/quests)
• ✅ The Cohabitation system gets a 1.1 male-character expansion (responding to the community)
• ✅ Deep tie-in between the Replica Ghost Car → ST79 livery
• ⚠️ The Taygedo NPC’s voice is considered annoying (can’t be muted until 1.1)
