Legacy:House
It applies only to the Old-gen console and 3DS versions of Terraria, detailing their differences from modern versions.
On the Old-gen console version and Nintendo version, all NPCs, if both them and their houses are offscreen, can teleport to their house if they are standing on Dungeon Bricks, regardless of time. Furthermore, NPCs are able to move to Living Tree treasure rooms if players have placed light sources within them.
On the Old-gen console version, the housing menu can be opened by pressing Inventory and navigating to the housing menu. To check whether a house is valid, press Quick Buff and the housing status of the house the player is standing in will be printed in chat. Press Inventory to show/hide NPC flags.
On the Nintendo version, the housing menu can be opened by pressing its button on the touch screen. It only lights up and is possible to press when in valid housing. In the menu, the player can tap an NPC's flag to set housing. Press the Show/Hide Flags button to show/hide NPC flags.

Tips
Old-gen console version and Nintendo version.- On the Old-gen console and versions, if a house is built at the world's original spawn point, it is best not to place any solid objects or blocks where characters appear; when the player teleports back or respawns, any blocks or furniture where they appear will be broken, which can invalidate the house.
