Summary
After progressing inStardew Valley, players will be given the option to build Pam a house, though players aren’t told what will happen if they decide to do so. The immediate result is obvious: Pam will go from living in her usual trailer to having a full house like the otherresidents of Pelican Town.

After all, there are plenty of other upgrades they may prefer to purchase first, like theReturn Scepter priced at two million goldthat warps players back to their farm.Building Pam’s house may be seen as a low priorityin comparison, especially if players don’t know the benefits of building it.

Players Get Access To A Very Helpful Upgrade After Building Pam’s House
Robin Will Create Shortcuts Around Town
Once players have paid Robin to build Pam’s house, and it is done being built, they can purchase a second Community Upgrade.This oneopens up shortcuts around town, making it easier for players to quickly traverse the map. This is very helpful for making efficient use of every day, and cuts down on the number of times players will accidentally fall asleep on the walk home.
These town shortcuts are also very handy on days when festivals are going on. For example, a festival in the main part of town would typically prevent players from getting between the beach and their farm.
