Brookhaven RP House Controls: The Complete Owner's Guide

What Are Brookhaven RP House Controls?

If you've ever stepped into your Brookhaven property and stared at a wall panel full of buttons you didn't understand, you're in good company. The House Controls system in Brookhaven RP is surprisingly deep, giving you control over door locks, security cameras, and even full-blown in-house chaos. Whether you're locking down a private roleplay session or just trying to keep randoms from wandering into your living room, this system is worth learning.

How Does the House Controls Interface Work?

The House Controls interface in Brookhaven RP is dynamic, meaning it only shows options that your current building actually supports. If your house doesn't have a pool, the pool toggle won't appear. This keeps the panel clean and prevents confusion when you switch between property types.

The system was updated by developer Voldex to hide unsupported buttons, replacing an older version where every option appeared regardless of whether your house could actually use it. The result is a cleaner interface that adjusts automatically based on what you own.

The panel itself is physically present in every house as a manual control panel on the wall, but most options are also accessible through the GUI overlay. One notable exception: the House Fire option only appears on the manual wall panel, not the main GUI.

What Controls Are Available in Houses?

Here's a breakdown of every control you might encounter, along with any gamepass requirements attached to them.

Security and Privacy Controls

• Lock Doors (free): Locks the front door and, on some houses, additional entrances like backyard doors. Essential for keeping strangers out during private roleplay sessions.
• Windows (free): Adjusts window privacy. Some houses use physical curtains, while others switch to reflective glass that blocks visibility from both inside and outside.
• Security Cameras (free): Pulls up live feeds from cameras placed around your property. Useful for monitoring who's lurking outside.
• Garage Door (free): Opens or closes the garage. The quick-access shortcut near the cameras button makes this one of the most convenient controls in the panel.

Atmosphere and Entertainment Controls

• Music (requires Music Unlocked gamepass, 199 Robux): Plays music inside your house. The menu lets you pick and manage tracks.
• House Disasters (requires Disaster Pack gamepass, 500 Robux): Triggers in-house disasters for dramatic roleplay moments. Note that some collaboration houses, such as the Wicked collaboration properties, do not support this feature.
• House Fire (requires On Demand Fire gamepass, 50 Robux): Instantly sets your house ablaze. Accessed through the wall panel only. Houses can also catch fire naturally if a fireplace is left running for several minutes, at which point you'll receive a prompt asking whether you want the fire to spread.

Customization Controls

• House Color (free): Changes your house's color scheme. The game automatically determines which sections get recolored (roof, walls, floors, or combinations), so you can't manually target individual parts.
• House Sign (free): Places a custom text sign on the exterior. Players with VIP (999 Robux) unlock three additional text effects: Gradient Fast, Gradient Slow, and Flash. The base version now supports a full color palette, upgraded from the original six-color limit.
• Baby Furniture (free): Adds baby-themed furniture for family roleplay scenarios. Clicking this from the GUI skips the confirmation prompt, but using it from the wall panel does ask for confirmation first.
• Props Controls (free): Lets you enable or disable prop placement by other players, and includes a button to remove all placed props in the house at once, including sleeping bags and traffic cones.
• Pool (requires Premium gamepass, 200 Robux): Adds a pool to supported houses. If your house already includes a built-in pool, this option won't appear.
• Limited-Time Controls (seasonal): During events like Christmas or Fall, a toggle appears to add or remove themed decorations. Each activation applies a randomized set of themed furniture.

How Do Controls Differ by Property Type?

Not every property in Brookhaven RP gets the same set of controls. Here's how each housing type compares:

Standard Houses

Standard houses have the widest variety of controls. Some include every available option, while others lack features like pools or certain disaster support depending on the house model. Full-featured houses serve as the reference examples for the control panel.

Apartments

Apartments drop the garage and pool options from the standard menu. Some penthouse apartments include permanent pools that are always active and can't be toggled off. Disaster controls are otherwise available.

Motel Rooms

Motel rooms are intentionally stripped down. No disasters (the rooms are too small), no pools, and no garage. You still get door locks, windows, security cameras, and props controls.

Estates

Estates work like houses but at a larger scale, using the same control system. Many mansion-style estates include pools that are always on. Roleplay estates without doors or interiors won't show lock-related controls since those features simply aren't present.

Landmarks

Landmarks are public buildings, so door locking, baby furniture, and pool controls are all unavailable. You can still use music, disasters, security cameras, and window curtains where the landmark supports them.

What Plots Are Available for Houses?

Before you can use any house controls, you need a plot. Brookhaven RP has several plot types spread across the map, each tied to a specific property category.

• Standard House Plots (#11–#32 and #35–#36): 21 spawnable plots total. 15 are free, while 6 require the Land Unlocked gamepass (500 Robux). Over 80 unique house styles are available here.
• Estate Plots (#33, #34, #37): Require the Estates Unlocked gamepass (800 Robux). Located at Crown Pointe Community (North), Blackhawk Community (South), and near the Horse Stable on the island.
• Apartment Plots (#6 free, #7 Penthouse): Plot #7 requires the Penthouse gamepass. Apartments are located above the grocery store.
• Motel Room Plots (#1–#5): Free plots near spawn. Six rooms available, including one VIP room.
• Landmark Plot: Located in Blackhawk Community near the airport. Currently hosts the Nuclear Power Plant.

How Do You Manage Access and Bans?

Beyond the control panel itself, Brookhaven RP gives house owners tools to manage who can enter and interact with their space. You can ban other players from your house or assign roommates, which grants them permission to lock doors and use animations like sitting and sleeping.

One important rule to know: you cannot ban family members. Family members automatically receive roommate-level access to your house, regardless of your settings. Red frames in the house menu indicate RP houses (such as Military House or Rocket House), which can help you quickly identify themed properties when browsing.

Which House Controls Require Gamepasses?

Here's a quick reference for every paid control and its cost:

If you're on a budget, the On Demand Fire pass at 50 Robux is the most affordable paid control and adds a lot of drama to roleplay scenarios. The Music Unlocked pass at 199 Robux is also popular for creating atmosphere without a huge investment.
