DLC's for House Flipper 2!

[Meadow]

Now the base game is released, I think it's already time to think about what we would like to see in the future. What DLC's would you like to see?

Let me start by saying I only play House Flipper for the sandbox mode (including all the different environments) + pre-made houses (to work on in sandbox mode). So everything related to jobs (including things like assembling), story and selling/buyers, I don't care about. If it was up to me they just removed all of this from the game... Multiplayer (besides sharing creations like we now can on Mod.io) doesn't have my interest either.

So, DLC... My own wishes for HF2:

1) HF1 to HF2

First and foremost I would love a DLC that adds all content from HF1 and all its DLC's into HF2 in a graphic quality wise upgraded and fully customizable manner.

All content includes all items, but also all houses, all materials/textures, all patterns, all things that were interactive/animated. It does NOT (necessarily) include the parts that I assume that are much harder to get back in the game like the actual pets and farm animals (just their stuff).

It seems that a group of people was already expecting this to be in HF2's base game, but I wasn't. That doesn't mean I would not like that, because I utterly do! Actually, I am willing to spend quite some money on such a DLC if this would mean the upgraded graphics quality (=/= graphic style, because I still like the more realistic one in HF1 more) + freedom in sandbox edit mode we have in HF2 combined with all the amazing stuff we had/have in HF1. With such a DLC I could and would focus entirely on HF2!

When we get new DLC's for HF2 with the same themes HF1 DLC have, then I would, of course, expect those DLC's to only contain NEW stuff within that theme.

2) Pets
I would utterly love pets and their stuff back in the game! Better executed when it comes to the pets themselves than in HF1, though and without a needs system (I hated that).

3) Garden
A much better version than HF1 has

4) Weather/Seasons
With dynamic and instantly changeable weather and everything related to weather and seasons

5) European and/or Mediterranean

6) Farm
Would also love all the farm animals, crops and other farm related stuff back . No interest at all in the actual farming gameplay, though.

7) Tiny/Eco/Sustainable living

8) Luxury and/or City (life)

9) Building
A DLC that is entirely focused on the (more) structure-side of houses and gardens

10) Other parts of the world, like Middle-East/Arabia/Africa

Further, I would love 'packs' for HF2 with a lot of new items themed more on room and/or function. Like Kitchen, Bathroom, Electronics, Lights, Surfaces (including wallpapers and patterns), Building, Windows and Doors, Office, Laundry, Accessories/Clutter, Decoration, Garden/Outdoor, Nursery, etc.

So long as we get "bang for buck" each time (which isn't so in the case of The Sims!), I really wouldn't mind a (kind of) DLC/pack system like The Sims has!

I wouldn't want a special DLC for that, but I would also really, REALLY love House Flipper 2 to make as much things interactive/animated as possible and to add other stuff (for instance, environments that feel a bit more alive) that would create more immersion in the game.

This would end up being a totally new game. It's a great idea, and you can probably achieve some different architectural styles with a touch of creativity and the vast selection of wallpapers/colours/tiles/flooring.

But yes, it would likely need to be a new game seeing as though the game is based in Pinnecove, which I assume is a meant to be an american style coastal town with adjacent forest.

In HF1 every (newer/paid?) DLC has its own place/map. I have no idea how they are planning to do this in HF2. I only know I would find it very disappointing if the game would always focus on houses in a certain American style. It's why I already dislike a lot of the pre-made houses in HF1. Despite having different maps/places in HF1, most of the houses are still in that style. :(

[Meadow]

When it comes to "other parts of the world", European and/or Mediterranean is, by far, my number one, but that would possibly also mean the need for a different map?

[hazzo gaming]

dlc's that was already purchased for hf1 should be added for free

[Meadow]

If the content would be the same, it mostly falls under the first thing in my wishlist (HF1 to HF2, with exceptions of things like the animals) and even in that case it would still mean (hard) work for the devs, so it doesn't have to be free.

When a new DLC for HF2 releases that has the same theme as a DLC for HF1 (Pets, Farm, Garden, Luxury) we can assume that will entail (mostly) completely NEW stuff (new houses, new environments, new items, new materials/patterns) within the same theme and of course the devs should get paid for that.

This is not a topic meant for complaining. I (and the devs do too I assume) would love to hear other people's ideas for DLC's and other 'general'/'big' things we would love to see in HF2!

[Meadow]

Other things I would also love to see for HF2 are item modding being possible again (preferably by use of Steam Workshop again for PC players) and a VR mode to walk around in our designs (while also being able to interact with objects; building and designing would NOT be necessary for me in a VR mode).

[SynthLizard8]

One ironic thing that people have critiqued about House Flipper 2 is that it now has a "less realistic" aestetic, I hope HF2 keeps the outlandish extra content like cyberpunk and cameo houses/apartments (also bring back apartments.

I'd love to have to have a house in the ocean, in space, a return to cyberpunk or a haunted house, heck, I hope they bring back the doomsday preppers with a bunch of guns there's like a post apocalyptic envioment to build in, like have zombies or aliens rampaging in the background, that'd be pretty cool as well as seasonally festive maps like Christmas with snow.

Victorian/Golden Age. Not what was in HF1 though. Real Victorian/Golden Age stuff.

And Gothic. I want to make a totally gothic house. Several of them. Gothic Victorian.

Oh, and Steampunk...... and Cyberpunk......

Just... No cheesy stuff. I do not like the cheesy stuff. Especially the halloween kids stuff. Not a fan.

*sits back and daydreams*

[jenibug69]

How about a lighthouse reno? You see that beautiful red and white tower in the distance across Crayfish Coast, sitting there tauntingly.....

Totally down with the Victorian architecture also. Or cliffside abodes.

Consider desert dwellings? Earthships? Hobbit houses? Curved walls would be tricky, though.

[MonkeyGamesVR]

Me agrees. This must have DLC soon! Agreed devs? :)

[Meadow]

Everyone has different wishes, of course. :) I myself am totally not interested in scifi and/or fantasy stuff for this game (although the Hobbit houses on Mod.io are beautiful/awesome to look at nonetheless!).

Next to the things, I already mentioned, I would also LOVE to see a SUPER Luxury DLC with only very huge houses/gardens/plots. With only mansions like the biggest stars and royalty have. With mostly Hollywood-like mansions < in different styles > (based on real mansions would make them even more awesome), but also with some palaces, churches (made residential), (large) penthouses, (modernized) castles, etc... Maybe best in a LA/Hollywood (Hills)-like environment)?!

OK, here's my two cents:

Firstly, I'd like to comment on your suggestions.

- HF1 to HF2 is unlikely to happen. People who own both games wouldn't want them to be too similar to each other. If the two games are sufficiently differentiated, there is a possibility to play both.
- Weather and seasons don't combine too well with any outdoor DLC, including Garden.
- Pets and Farm are not a bad concept, but I, personally, wouldn't want House Flipper to go the Sims route and add the same DLCs to every version of the game ever released. Or to have paid Stuff Packs with no new locations, properties of gameplay. :)
- Tiny/Eco/Sustainable sounds like the Sims. It would be nice to have space-saving furniture or roof solar panels, but not as a separate DLC.
- Luxury is again, a good concept, but having an entire DLC just for the big, expensive stuff is a waste. A couple expensive properties in every expansion would probably be enough

Now for my own list:

1. Garden. Because players are asking for it.
2. City pack, with apartments and 3/4 storey townhouses. Maybe even a houseboat on the water. Room for more space-saving furniture options in this one ;)
3. Country Life. Big houses, big gardens, maybe swimming pools, tennis courts or equestrian properties. Or even fancy apartment blocks. Like a cross between Luxury and Farm DLCs for HF1. Could add some pillar options to this.
4. Medieval. Castles, log cabins, old cottages etc. Curved walls and garden wishing wells? Saunas would fit well too...
5. Futuristic. The UFO in the first game was strange, while the house on the Moon was more fun outside then inside. There could be eco-friendly properties, pods, luxury skyscraper apartments, etc. And robotic vacuum cleaners maybe?
