Most of us wanted to have that room we could decorate with a friend or family. This is possible with the IMVU Shared Room!
What can you do with Shared Room?
With Shared room, you can:
Manage and decorate rooms together with a friend
Set your Shared Room as a Public Room (this takes up one of your Public Room slots)
Use any item (furniture, room, etc.) from both your inventories
- Receive an animated badge that you can display in your profile card
Note that the Shared Room features are not currently accessible via IMVU Mobile.
