Happy Home Academy

The Happy Room Academy (HRA), is a type of housing association for the player to sign up for. The HRA inspects your house each day, and scores it depending on the furniture inside, and how it is placed. The more points you get, the better it is. Ways of boosting your points score are by placing rare or expensive pieces of furniture in your house, or completing furniture series. These each give out point bonuses (see below). You can also help your score by paying attention to Feng Shui.

It is mainly for fun, to see how well you can decorate your house, but if you score a lot of points, there will surely be a reward (see below).

You can earn special gifts by obtaining a certain amount of HRA points. One story model, two story model and mansion model.

The HRA headquarters is located in the City, where you can view your friends scores via Nintendo Wi-Fi connection.

On Sunday the HRA sends the player their evaluation results on academy paper. If you don't want to receive the results by mail, go talk to Lyle at the HRA headquarters and stop them being sent (you can turn them on again by talking to Lyle again). You can always check your HRA points with Lyle.

What seems to be the easiest and possibly cheapest way to collect HRA points is to acquire as many lucky items as possible - 10 lucky items alone gets you well over 75,000 points.

At the back of the HRA is the model room, a room chosen by Lyle every month that satisfies a certain theme. Sometimes, there is no model room, and the area for the model room is replaced by an empty 4x4 room.
