A short and practical Mall Simulator Guide to unlocking all three Decorative Item placement achievements in Mall Simulator quickly and efficiently.
There are three achievements tied to placing decorative objects in your mall:
| Achievement | Requirement | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mall Make-Over | Place 10 decorative items | The beginner tier achievement for basic decoration. |
| Interior Genius | Place 50 decorative items | Mid-tier milestone for expanding interior design. |
| Mallverse Creator | Place 100 decorative items | Highest tier — rewards players who build or… “rebuild” creatively. |
All three are based on placement, not purchase quantity. That means you can unlock them without actually buying dozens of decorations.
How the System Works
The in-game description specifically says “Place X decorative items” — not buy.
What the game tracks is the number of times an item has been placed, not how many unique decorations exist in your inventory.
So, the moment you place a decoration in the mall layout, it counts as +1 toward these achievements. Removing and re-placing the same item again increments the counter again.
This allows you to unlock all three achievements using just one decorative item.
Fast Method (One-Item Loop Trick)
Here’s the simplest and fastest way to earn all three achievements:
- Buy one decorative item — any will do. Choose a cheap one for convenience (plants, benches, etc.).
- Place the decoration anywhere inside your mall.
- Pick it up and place it again — every new placement counts.
- Repeat the place-remove-place loop until you hit 100 placements.
Time Needed
- Mall Make-Over (10 placements): ~10 seconds
- Interior Genius (50 placements): ~30–40 seconds
- Mallverse Creator (100 placements): ~1–2 minutes total
There is no cooldown or delay on the placement counter, so you can spam placements continuously until all pop.
Optional Efficiency Tip
If you don’t want to track manually, you can:
- Watch your Achievements tab on Steam — each milestone will pop sequentially.
- Or place the decoration in a clear open area (like the central atrium) so it’s easy to click repeatedly.
For players aiming for full 100% completion, this is one of the fastest achievements in the game.
Common Questions
Q: Does rotating the same item count as placing?
A: Only if you confirm a new placement — rotation alone doesn’t count until the object is dropped/placed again.
Q: Can I use multiple decorations at once?
A: Yes, but it’s unnecessary. The counter only checks total placement events, not simultaneous item count.
Q: Can I sell it after unlocking?
A: Yes. Selling or deleting the item doesn’t affect achievement progress once unlocked.
