Props in Brookhaven: Prop Limits, Saving Builds and Edit Modes

TL;DR, bestie

  • Props are the furniture, decorations and objects you can place around your house, on your car or (in private servers) anywhere on the map. Most are free. Fewer than 30 are paid, mostly through VIP or the Horse Upgrade.
  • Public servers: 15 props on your house plot (20 with VIP). Each +10 costs 100 Robux, up to 45 (50 with VIP).
  • Private servers: 500 props to start, +100 per 100 Robux, up to 2,000. Cars cap at 100 there.
  • You get 3 free save slots each for houses, cars and private server worlds. Extra slots cost Robux.

Props turned Brookhaven from “pick a house” into “build whatever your roleplay needs”. A school, a burger stand, a crime scene, a wedding arch. They first arrived with the Christmas update on 14 December 2022, and the system has grown a lot since. The rules around limits and saving confuse almost everyone, so here’s the clear version.

How it works

Props come in three groups on the community wiki: the main Props Catalog (lights, furniture, food, tech, sports, hospital gear, signs and dozens more categories), Seasonal Props from events like Halloween and Christmas, and Collab Props from brand crossovers.

Placing and editing

When you place a prop and click it, you enter Prop Edit Mode. From there you can move it, rotate it, recolor or retexture it if that prop allows it. Two tools only work in private servers: resizing props and toggling collision so players can walk through them. Not every prop supports collision changes, even there.

Prop Stacking Mode is the other one. It snaps props onto walls, ceilings, tables and counters, and lets you stack things neatly instead of having them float or clip. It’s the secret to rooms that look decorated instead of dumped.

In private servers, every prop from every player counts toward one shared server limit.

Saving builds

House saves only keep props inside your plot lines, and they only load on the same plot type. A normal house layout won’t load on an Estate plot, and the other way around. Car saves only work on road vehicles like cars, trucks and motorcycles, not bikes, scooters, horses, boats or flying vehicles.

Step by step: build and save a room

  1. Spawn your house and open the props catalog.
  2. Place your big pieces first: walls, floors, beds, tables.
  3. Switch to Stacking Mode for small stuff like lamps, plates and posters.
  4. Recolor props so the room matches. It’s free and makes a huge difference.
  5. Check that everything is inside the plot lines.
  6. Save to one of your free slots and give it a name you’ll recognize.
  7. Hit Load later to clear the plot and respawn your saved layout.

Tips

  • Build big in a private server, but plan for public. A layout with more than 45 props (50 with VIP) won’t load in public servers.
  • Use one slot per vibe. Family house, school, party. Swapping saves beats rebuilding.
  • Car builds are underrated. A food truck or parade float takes 10 minutes and gets attention.
  • My family roleplay ideas and school roleplay ideas list exact props for each plot.

Common mistakes

  • Building outside the plot lines. Those props don’t save.
  • Paying for prop slots before trying a private server. If you build a lot, a private server’s 500-prop start is way more room. My private server guide explains the setup.
  • Loading a house layout on an Estate. Different plot types don’t share saves.
  • Spawning a house on a plot full of world props. In private servers, spawning a house there deletes the props inside that plot.

Kiko’s take: Props are the best free feature in Brookhaven, full stop. You don’t need VIP to build something great, you just need Stacking Mode and patience. If you’re going to spend Robux here, I’d put it toward a private server before extra public prop slots. It’s like upgrading from a shoebox diorama to a whole dollhouse.
