However, the system provides the ability to shared consumption food if the owner of the house Explicitly allows this through privacy settings or simply does not restrict access to his things.

Otherwise, when you try to open someone else's refrigerator, you will see an error message or simply will not be able to click on the "Take" button.
⚠️ Attention: The mechanics of interaction with objects in Avatars may change after major game updates. If the steps described below do not work, check the current rules in the "Help" section inside the game client.
Setting up access and privacy at home
The first and most important step in order for guests to eat from your refrigeratoris to correctly configure the settings of your at home. The owner of the home must independently activate the ability for guests to interact with interior objects.
To do this, you need to go to the home management menu. This is usually done through the settings button located in the home interface. Find the section responsible for guest rights or "Access to things". This is where the key to solving your problem lies.
In the list of parameters, you need to find an option that allows guests to use household appliances or take items. In different versions of the game or during different events, the name may vary, but the meaning remains the same: permission to be interactive.
- 🏠 Open the settings menu for your home in the upper right corner of the screen.
- 🔒 Go to the "Privacy" or "Guests" tab.
- ✅ Activate the switch "Allow guests to take items" or similar.
- 💾 Save the changes so that the settings take effect immediately.
After making the changes, any visitors to your home will be able to open your refrigerator and remove food from there if they want to be so active. This is an ideal option for large-scale game parties.
Step-by-step instructions: how to eat food from a friend
If you are a guest and want to take advantage of the host's hospitality, you need to follow a sequence of simple steps. Make sure that the owner of the house really allows access, otherwise your attempts will be in vain.
Go to the refrigerator, which is usually located in the kitchen or dining room. Hover over an object or click on it if you are playing on a mobile device. If access is open, an interaction menu will appear in front of you.
In the window that opens, you will see a list of products lying inside. Select the desired item and click the "Eat" or "Take" button. Your avatar will take the appropriate action, and the food counter in the refrigerator will decrease.

It is worth noting that some types of products can be marked as untouchableif the host settings are for specific slots, although in the basic mechanics Avatars such a distinction is rare and usually concerns quest items.
Table of types of access to the refrigerator
To better navigate the capabilities of the system, check out the table describing the different levels of access and their consequences for the owner and guests.

Protecting food from intruders
If you notice that your food is disappearing at a suspicious rate, it may be worth reconsidering your open house policy. In Avatars, as in real life, resources are not infinite, and their replenishment requires time or game currency.
To protect your food supplies you can temporarily restrict access to the refrigerator. This is especially true if you are holding an event where the presence of a large number of random people is not planned.
There is also a social aspect: if one of the guests abuses your hospitality, you can always use the ignore function or ask him to leave the house. However, most often the problem is solved by simply changing the privacy settings.
⚠️ Attention: Do not store items obtained during events in the refrigerator if you are not sure of the guests’ reliability. In some cases, such items may be unique and cannot be restored.
Secret method of protection
Some experienced players use the “empty refrigerator” method. Before a large number of guests arrive, they transfer all valuable products into inventory or a special chest, leaving only cheap food in the refrigerator for show.
Frequent problems and their solutions
Sometimes players are faced with a situation where, it would seem, all the settings are correct, but eat the food it still doesn’t work. This may be due to technical problems or the game cache.
Try restarting the game or reconnecting to the server. This often helps to update the status of objects in the home and synchronize access rights between the client and server.
If the problem persists, check whether the house has a general ban on interaction (“friends only” mode). In this case, even the presence of food in the refrigerator will not make it possible to use it.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions
Is it possible to steal food from the refrigerator without permission?
No, in Avatar there is no “theft” mechanic in the classical sense. If the owner has not given permission to access things, you will not physically be able to open the refrigerator or take the item. The game's security system blocks such actions.
Does food in the refrigerator recover over time?
Usually food does not recover on its own. If you eat a product, it disappears forever until the owner buys and puts in a new one. Some special events may provide for auto-replenishment, but these are rare exceptions.
Does the owner see who exactly ate his food?
There is no history of refrigerator actions in the standard interface. The owner may notice the loss of food, but will not see a log file with the names of those who ate it, unless he monitored the process in real time.
Is it possible to eat food from a refrigerator in a public place?
In public places (clubs, parks) refrigerators are often decorative or have limited functionality. The eating mechanic works mainly in players’ personal homes, where interaction is configured.
What happens if you eat expired food?
The Avatars concept of expired food is implemented conditionally. Food generally does not spoil over time while in the refrigerator. However, if this is part of a special quest, follow the instructions of the task.
To summarize, we can say that the mechanic of sharing a refrigerator in Avatars is a simple but effective way of socialization. Correctly setting up access allows you to create a cozy atmosphere in the house, and understanding the principles of the system's operation will help you avoid unnecessary losses of resources.
