Embark on a delightful journey in Palia, a charming community simulator where you not only craft your dream abode but also forge meaningful connections with the inhabitants of Kilima Village. Kickstart your adventure by undertaking the Happy Housewarming quest, a perfect initiation into this cozy world.

Upon your arrival in Kilima, Mayor Kenli extends a warm welcome, introducing you to a quaint neighborhood tradition: gifting tokens of goodwill to your fellow villagers. While this tradition fosters camaraderie, selecting the ideal gift can pose a challenge. Fear not, as here's your comprehensive guide to navigating the quest, including uncovering each villager's unique preferences.

How To Get The Happy Housewarming Quest​

Before embarking on the Happy Housewarming quest, ensure you've made progress in two preceding tasks: Brick by Brick and Plank by Plank. While completing these quests isn't mandatory, you must reach a certain point in each, culminating in the construction and placement of the Basic Smelter and Sawmill on your plot, respectively.

Once these prerequisites are met, anticipate a visit from Mayor Kenli to your plot. Engage in conversation with him, and he'll task you with a charming village tradition: sending gifts to five different villagers.

Should Mayor Kenli fail to appear, it's likely due to the presence of another NPC on your plot. Prioritize interacting with them and fulfilling their quest before proceeding further.

How To Find Out What Villagers Like​

Navigating the art of gifting in Palia requires a keen understanding of each villager's preferences. While some may graciously accept various offerings, others hold specific desires and may reject gifts that don't align with their tastes.

To uncover what each villager desires, initiate a conversation with them and locate the gift box icon adorned with a question mark, situated just outside the bottom left corner of the dialogue window.

Hovering over this icon will reveal the prompt, "Learn about what villagers want." Click on it, prompting the villager to divulge their current gift preferences or offer insights into what others in the community may appreciate for the week. Keep in mind that these preferences are subject to change weekly, so staying attuned to their evolving tastes is key.

Armed with knowledge of their desires, the next step is to ensure you have the desired item in your inventory. Engage in conversation with the villager once more, this time clicking on the gift box icon sans the question mark. Upon doing so, your inventory window will open, allowing you to select the desired item.

Should you present the coveted item, the villager will express gratitude for your thoughtful gesture. However, if the gift doesn't meet their expectations for the week, they'll politely decline. Not to worry though, as you're granted unlimited attempts to get it right.

While you could opt for trial and error, offering different items until you strike the right chord, remember that persistence pays off in this quest. Keep trying until you hit upon the perfect gift to strengthen your bond with the villagers of Kilima Village.
