New Buyers

[CrypticRori]

I am..unsure how the new buyers work. I tried to make a house, specifically to sell it to one buyer, but they don't come up, at all. I'm wondering if there's a way to get a specific person we're trying to sell to yet? Or ways to see that they're going to come up (like in HF1 when they would comment on the things we did)?

Y'all I'm pretty sure there is something to this we're not accounting for. A random variable of some kind. Because... I was just decorating the flooded summer house at the beach with no goal in mind - just make a nice house... and Bella finally showed! No garage at all. I'm not even done with it (I just check periodically to see how much it's worth.)

So far just refinished the surfaces with painted wood, paint, stained birch, and some wallpaper from different collections. Drab colors and white. White marble in bathrooms and kitchen. Only actually made kitchen (downstairs), 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a little gym (upstairs). I had a few Skadi but mostly Loftly since that's my fave. Baleno in the bathroom. The tub was Sundries so I don't think she cares about brand as long as she has a tub.

I'm not saying the sell everything and add some items strategy doesn't work - clearly it does for many people and I would recommend that as first step to try - but I'm not sure there are such specific set items. Or perhaps key items change depending on location? Perhaps she doesn't show at the same location for everyone? I think the only consistent thing (for Bella anyway) is that she likes contemporary style furniture and wants a bathtub. I'm curious what we'll learn once they update the buyers to comment on sales. I really do like that I unlocked her just by designing to suit my own style though - but it's odd that I did the same thing (my same style) in the desolate villa with no luck. 🤣

No matter how I decorate, I usually get Louis Williams. This says something about me.

OMG same! I swear it's always either him or Ramona for me! 🤣 Its like anytime I add a third bedroom no matter the style they're there.

I've managed to unlock 5 buyers including Mr Bylowe (the dude that buys trash properties) but there are so many more and no clues as to what they want.
Here are those I have unlocked so far:-

Mr Bylowe

I have a hard time with
unlock Henry Spring. I bought the Lavender house, and followed the above guide. Used only Cozy Rosie furniture, included plenty of indoor plants, kept everything neutral, and loaded the backyard with a huge garden

Hello,
to get Henry Spring, I have the Cobblestone House fully cleaned, every thing reaired and removed all trash...then I sold everything in the childrens room and the toys in ihe house

and: Henry was one of the three buyers....hippy di yayyyy

It worked for me, try it out! I replaced all the dead plants with new ones, otherwise I did exactly what was written there. The house is really big, but don't worry, Henry will buy it.

Did you have to paint
How about the gaming guy and abbey poe

[Grivzyrn]

You don't have to color anything, just tidy up and remove garbage. Remember to remove all toys in the kids room (including under the bookshelf and under the bed).
Abby and Kyle as well as all the other buyers can all be found in this thread, my quote is from page 2.

I've now got all buyers except Bella - I tried all the methods in here and she is just not popping for me, so annoying! Going to try a few more things and see if I can get her. Some of them I don't remember everything for how I got them, but if you need any tips for specifics lmk! Generally:
- Mr. Bylowe is easy to get, just don't clean all the way. You'll sell at a deficit if you leave it TOO dirty, but if it's too clean sometimes he'll peace out and you'll get Kerry instead. Having no appliances/beds will up your chances of getting him.
- Kerry Price is also super easy, just clean completely and have a relatively empty house and she should pop up.
^^^^ The above two are usually the only buyer you'll get if they do appear, so you can't miss them.

- Abby Poe is the easiest for me, I guess because she's my doppelganger lol. She likes what I like and my name is also Abby. Lots of books, fun colors, cozy furniture, cute decor, plants indoors but not too much plant life outside (a little is OK). Bohemian Apartment or a lot of the smaller ones in the suburbs will work.
- Melody Banjeree I did Blue Bungalow and pretty much exclusively all the Extravaganza furniture. I also did plain paint on all walls in funky colors (I think I did like, orange and cerulean, the stars/planet wallpaper in the bedroom with a purple color). I changed up the patterns so it was all mismatched and zany. Also demolished the laundry room and embiggened the kitchen a bit.
- Kyle Cheong, y'all have said it. Trevor's mansion and add consoles, controllers, the little PSP, VR headset, headphones, etc. in basically every room. I replaced some of the existing furniture with Futuro instead (armchairs, etc) but mostly left the place as-is, aside from fully cleaning obv.
- Henry Spring, can't quite remember what house I used, I think it was Lavender? Add plants inside and outside. More. No, MORE. You think that's too many? MOAR!! Especially outside, don't neglect that. Trees, flowers, shrubs, the works.
- Louis Williams I got with Sunny Bungalow (the family house). I don't recall actually changing the place up too much from the furniture that's already there, just clean up and stage it nice, replace broken stuff, declutter a bit.
- Ramona I'm having trouble remembering... I want to say I also got her from Peacey's? Put beds in every room, neutral colors, stick with Skadi or Homefort.
- Gary Hood was so dumb lol. I got him from the Hostel in the woods (the A-Frame). I had cleaned it mostly out, all dirt and trash, left some furniture but not much. I can't remember specifics but I decided I didn't want to continue with it so I put it up for auction and there he was lol.
- Layla: Mentioned above. Home gym is critical I think!

I need help

I suggest you read the whole thread to find more info because the same thing doesn't always work for everyone. There are multiple ways to get buyers. I can tell you what worked for me for those two:

Kyle - clean (wash, vacuum, remove trash) Trevor's house and then copy the dining room chair so that there's 6 total. That's all I had to do - didn't have to add any gaming stuff or refinish any surface.

I also got him at the House on Stilts as I was just having fun making the ultimate gaming party house so I can't pinpoint exactly what did it. Not sure how much if any of this is helpful but I got him so I'll say all I remember. Try the Trevor method first as it's easier. I had sold everything then used mostly "futuristic" and "contemporary" style furniture and lifts. Lots of Futuro brand but a few others. Refinished everything interior and exterior in "rich" colors or neutral woods. White marble in bathrooms and kitchen. Wallpaper was Futuro brand. (By refinish I mean if there was wood panel I replaced with more wood panel. Tile with tile. Paint with paint etc.) As far as rooms I had 4 bedrooms, demolished walls for a combined kitchen, dining, and living area. 2 full baths (one with a tub, the other with a shower) and converted the former first floor small hall closet into a half bath. Split up the former first floor bedroom closet into two and had one open into the hall as a laundry closet with washer and dryer. I also built a garage under the house on the paved area with two garage doors, a storage room with shelves, and a workbench. As far as items go - every room got a light switch, radiator, air conditioner, and plenty of electric sockets. I was doing it in the style of the quest mission so each bedroom had a desk, computer, bookshelf, and office chair. I added one vr headset and headphones each. Plus a TV, gaming console, and two controllers. For funsies I did some rgb lighting in the desk areas. (Switch from white in light options). Living room had a big tv, speakers, console, 4 controllers. Dining room had 6 chairs and kitchen had an island with 4 stools. Fully loaded kitchen (dishwasher, sink, oven, fridge, range, hood, most common small appliances.) I also added the Tsubaki (Tsubaki? Sp) gadgets like air purifier and vacuum robot.

Abby - Both times I got her on accident. Easiest was the Timber House so try this first. I cleaned but only refinished damaged areas. I also used the flipper tool to change the customization of every piece of furniture. If furniture/windows/ or decor were damaged I sold and replaced with the same item. That includes plants. I added a fridge, hood, and dishwasher to the kitchen - "retro" style. Just doing a quick easy flip. Then there she was.

The first time was another where I don't know what she saw in it cuz it wasn't her description except for it being apartment. The Bohemian Apartment. I totally did it to suit my style - old brick walls, lots of dark neutral or cold wood, steel, raw stones. Contemporary style - mostly Loftly. I had a bedroom with tv, office with computer and bookshelf (no books), fully furnished kitchen, bathroom with shower and tub, tv area with couch and 2 chairs, dining table with 6 chairs. I had the sensors and gadgets, air purifier. All rooms had air conditioners, radiators, and plenty of wall sockets.

Thanks it worked

Can't get Layla Farah. i buyed every single item in the hobby part as gym, and a tons of skadi furniture, no luck so far. also the co end the fire allarm...and all the houses in the woodland forest...bha i cant get her. tryed also with the Peacey family home...nothing. she doesnt want to appear XD

[Mastro Rozen]

I decided i want my last Buyer and also prove you my point.
First i did buy the Peacy Home just to show off my point...and SOLD every single plant, furniture, and all that you can find outside the houde. Then i destroyed the roof, the walls, and so on...
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3405438934

btw i think the devs will patch this out soon. in the lavender house if you have no wall, mr Bylowe pop up and say that nobudy will buy a house with no wall XD

i left just a small wall cause the buyer i want to attract, Layla, need 1 single window. And cause you can still see the paper on the wall of the original house XD

So..Layla need:
1 light source [else you will attract Gary Hood and Mr Bylowe]
at least 10 furniture [else you will attract Karry Price]
Of those 10 furniture i selected skady Toilet, cozy rose shower, 2 skady bed, 1 skady couch, 1 skady Armchair, 1 skady cabinet and 3 skady chair/bar stool but you can play around as long as you have at least 1 toilet, 1 shower, 2 bed and 1 coush/sofa.
Add 1 alarm clock Aglo or CO sensor and she will be pleased to appear.
Remember she want a bit of Gym into her home...well...surprise, you just need 3 pieces of Gym. The 3 balls are enough if you want. you dont even need the Elliptical Trainer....and so...that's all.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3405456043

You still belive it's random? Dudes...it's just that every single buyer want "at least" a selected few items to be attracted..ever the long lost Layla.

You're welcome... XD

Oh she doesn't need any tree or plant outside. she just require that damn window XD

[valkyire120]

Can you sell the parents house?

I'm sad to report that this works :(. It's disappointing to see that a house can be in ruins with some furniture and a buyer will buy it no matter what. At least i now have all the special buyers... But at what cost

[GrumpyCatJen]

I finally unlocked Layla. You do not need nearly as much as some people suggest. She must have a Tsuki Vacuum Cleaner, Tsuki CO Sensor, Tsuki Fire Alarm, 2 Beds in Separate Bedrooms, 1 Toilet, 1 Bathroom Sink, 1 Shower OR Bath, 3 Exercise Equipment (does not need to be in separate room, could be in bedroom), 2 Yozora Items (could be washer/dryer, fridge, ...). Of course, there is the minimum required to prevent getting people like Karry or Bylowe. You do not need a desk or even a functioning kitchen, no need for plants inside or outside (you read that right, there do not need to be any trees in the yard). For whatever reason, it seems like the Pearcy's house was the only one that I could use to unlock her. I think the developers made a mistake with that because it's the first house you get, likely the first house to renovate to your personal liking, and it's the only house you can sell to unlock Layla? I sure hope there is another house that could be renovated to her liking.

lol you didn't read a couple post up there? it's the same for all Buyers. You just have to find wich house they prefer and then toss them 10 furniture they like and some other special items... for Layla the Bio suggest having forest view. Try some of those house. For today i'm done XD
