Am I an idiot or? (Carpets)

[Midnight Shadows]

So, I've been playing around in the sandbox, and I can't seem to put carpets down, I can find area rugs, but I can't find any carpets that are wall to wall, like, I can make the floor wood, I can make it ceramic, I can even make it plastic, but no carpets????? Am I an idiot or are there actually no carpet textures????

I went back and looked too and there are no wall to wall carpet surfaces available, only rugs in the decorations section of the store and those are not re-sizable which would fix the whole issue and allow for us to install carpets throughout the houses. On a higher note, they have allowed for color and pattern changes so there is that. I thought there might be some carpet texture surface in the installations or flooring section of the store but there is only wood, stone, metal, plastic and tile. Why they would leave out carpet texture is beyond me, perhaps it was simple oversight? The game is nice but it seems less fun than HF1 did at release even with it's original limitations.

Yeah, there are some missing things, I'm going to chalk it down to release date, iirc it was meant to come out Q3 not Q4, so probably some timeline things, but idk I can only speculate.

Also, we have been critical (at least I know I have) of HF1 so maybe they are just trying to find out what is most important to us early stages. With that said, I found out that you can use the wall paper on the floor so is that what we are supposed to do for wall to wall carpeting? It isn't carpet texture but could work until they give us that texture (if it was inded and oversight). Just curious. I didn't stop to see if there are textures in the solid colors that could work for carpets. I am a bit more optimistic at any rate.

oh that's a good idea, I'll have to look and see if that's an option, but yeah probably feeling out what people feel is most important. Though that was one thing I disliked about house flipper 1, they avoided the more traditional and older styles, (Carpets, certain tiles and colors, furniture) in favor of the more modern stuff like you'd see on HGTV or in a hollywood mansion, like for sure I wanna be able to make ultra modern stuff but sometimes you wanna make a 1970s split level or a 1980s family home, and those have carpets and stuff. Going even older pocket doors. . . something we didn't get in 1 for a long time, but we had those sliding barn doors long before that.

not to drag the subject too far afield but is there a way to save a "custom" texture combo for future use? i found a grooved cement in one of the buyable homes that would work really well as a kind of a lined pattern carpet, but of course i can't hit "copy" to reuse it later if it's only in that one house.

that said, I have not tried to manipulate the pattern any for color changes. maybe it will look horrible in any color -not- cement!

i remember in the Sims 2 or 3 when they finally added the feature to save textures as premades and it made that game lag horribly.

i love this "wood on the wall, wallpaper on the floor" thing though.

[mrsddixon66]

I found the carpet texture!!!! It's available in the furniture texture so that must mean we can put the 'fluffly carpet' on the floor as well!. Not sure how yet, I will figure it out eventually though!

Yeah, lots of textures but not all are recolor-able, maybe they will add that to the game...

Exactly! I was hopeful that we would be given access to all textures and surfaces so we could apply them to all the items available but I guess if they do that then it restricts them on dllc later, which I am fine with to a point. Lol,

Yea but that's not actual carpet flooring. Kind of annoyed it only has wood and stone tiling. No carpeted flooring to install. I'm going to keep commenting this on forums about the game being downgraded from the first one. It feels downgraded.

I agree and disagree, on one hand there is much less content than the first one currently has, however if you compare to something like Cities Skylines 2 that was broken on launch. . . this is a bit better, less content on launch but not broken is better than a bunch of broken content. Now, I support the Cities Skylines devs so don't take that the wrong way, but I think the devs for HF:2 made the right choice by polishing the game first. HF:1 was pretty bare bones too when it came out.

They will add it most likely. But keep in mind these are European devs wall to wall carpets aren't common in many parts of the world. I think it's disgusting myself with all the germs collect. Much prefer hard floors with easily replaceable area rugs.

Right, wasn't thinking about that, good point. I think we may get there through the perk system, so we will see.

Oh for sure, I know, I personally am not a fan of carpets either tbh, I have hardwood in my bedroom while my parents (more old school american) have carpet in theirs. I insisted on wood because it looks nicer (Imo) and its easier to clean, plus area rugs! But for challenges and also just general fun it's nice to have the option, the textures already exist in HF1 they could probably just import them to 2 under a carpet category. But Yeah I know its not top priority for them.

I can make the floors chrome but I guess carpet is too out of the norm.

Lol, right. Did you know there is a choice to add ´fluffy carpet´texture to your beds comforter you just can´t have it on the floor?

I think it's important to keep in mind that HF1 has had several xpacs. You see the same thing with The Sims, where the newest game always feels a little empty for a while, because it doesn't have any xpacs.

That said, no carpet at all does seem like an oversight to me. If there was just one kind of carpet then all the colors we can customize, I'd get it. But no carpet at all?

I went to put carpet on my second floor (because no one wants hardwood stomping above their head!) and couldn't find any wall-to-wall carpet, just the rugs.
