Howdy Flippers!

Today, we bring you a little something to make your April Fools' Day more fun!
This is our first official "Mini-Update" - that's our new term to describe some of the smaller content additions to House Flipper 2.

---

New:
• 6 April fools-related items so you can prank someone!
• A new mug with custom picture functionality!

Changes:
• We lost a batch of our sound files, but we MacGyvered smth up overnight, and we're working on a more permanent solution. Be patient. (47 new sounds, but you can actually switch back to the original ones in the main menu! Only available on April 1st)

Fixes:
• Pinnacove suburbs achievement is now correctly recognized.
• Fixed unremovable sills in the recently added house, "The Alligator Bar" in Old Pinnacove. The fix applies only to newly bought houses.

Co-op changes:
• You can now disconnect from a co-op game using the Back button during loading (after confirming in a pop-up). Yes, now this is a feature, not a bug!
• Additional gameplay elements now synchronize properly: wall finish material held in hand, as well as paint roller mode and color.
• Third-person animations have been added for switching the cleaning tools and spray usage.
• Added additional notifications for "Lobby Full" and "Local Connection Not Possible".
• Crossplay status can now be toggled from the client join view.

Co-op fixes:
• Fixed time of day synchronization.
• If the host is in the main menu, clients will also be placed in the main menu upon joining.
• If a player joins while others are still connecting or cleaning windows, they will no longer find them in an awkward position or animation.
• Cleaning the same stain is no longer slower when multiple players clean it together. Teamwork makes the dream work, not the job harder!

❗ Additionally, we saved you from potential malicious features:
• Removed your favourite "before and after" gallery because at least 3 players didn't like it.
• Removed the co-op mode so you can finally enjoy playing alone in peace.
• All your mod.io houses got deleted because we forgot to pay our monthly mod.io premium subscription... what an awesome chance to upload new player creations!
• All textures are now one color (gray) to boost performance.
• Removed paint roller – now you must dip your hands in paint and slap the walls manually.
• Fixed a bug where only cold water was flowing from the taps.
• Removed all houses larger than 25m² or containing more than 20 items or 5 light sources – these could lead to uncontrollable crashes.
• Added an "ive-got-a-crash-on-you" command so you can now controllably crash your game as much as you like! (use at your own risk)



This marks our second step of the Q1 / Q2 2025 House Flipper 2 Roadmap.
What comes next is one of the biggest events of the year for the House Flipper Franchise, so make sure to stay tuned!

Additionally, keep in mind that you still have about 2 weeks to join our most recent Community Contest, which is actually all about some crazy April Fools' ideas!

Check it out by clicking HERE[mod.io] or on the image below:

[mod.io]Hope to see you in-game today! Enjoy this Mini-Update, and have a wonderful day!

Along with the recent Garden Update, we introduced a new community contest, with a new ruleset and a new pool of prizes!

[mod.io]As we're getting closer and closer to April Fools' Day, your quest this time is to create a home filled with tricks, surprises, and confusing design choices - a place that would drive anyone living there absolutely nuts!

---

1. Build a house fitting the theme of the contest - "The House of Pranks"
2. Upload the finished property to the Mod.io website with at least 5 screenshots best showcasing the project, as well as check the “House of Pranks” tag in the upload process.
3. Make sure to submit your entry by April 13, 2025, 23:59 CEST!

For more info about the theme and rules of this contest, click on THIS LINK[mod.io]!

Remember that you're not allowed to use any 3rd party software or in-game "cheats" that directly help you with your contest project (for example, giving you access to hidden items)!

(We allowed for that previously, but the console players have much harder access to those and of course, using shady console commands always carries the risk of your game getting broken!)


The top 5 creators will receive a special pack of rare House Flipper 2 goodies, which includes:

• The fan favourite - Bessie the Beaver Plushie[www.makeship.com]
  
• House Flipper 2 Gaming Mousepad
  
• Special Edition Steelbook House Flipper 2 copy!

We actually showcased this awesome set of items on our recent dev stream, click HERE to see!
