So... Where is Safe House Customization?

[Max]

First for all this is 2017 and it's not a necro. Don't tell me the new safe house is the customization. It is just an upgradable base (too noticeable that get raided every few days to be "safe") with fixed choice and no variation/downgrade/refund/exchange. Everyone have the same exact safe house after they maxed out everything. It isn't an actual customization.


A real customization should be the player able to customize what the rooms in the basement should have. Placing decorations like how you place assets in preplanning. The current safe house is not a customization. I can't even able to re-enable the balloons or disable the goat or the muscle car . I don't know if there are more safe houses and more features being developed for it. Please take note about that and keep the promises that you've gave to the community from now on. Thank you overkill.

For now, I assume that there won't be one in the near future. More so due to the addition of the new safe house mere months ago & support potentially ending this year.

Although, it'd be swell to have a safe house that's fully customizable. Or at least, to some extent. But aside from that, this is simply my thoughts, of course.

Delayed like fbi files and capt ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I guess youre kinda right, overkill never added safehouse customisation with Hoxwarming event, they just did the upgrade/unlock system.
We did at least get van skins and with that we mite see glove and suit swapping with that being enough customization I wont be looking at much.

Never tried it but on the trophies page you can disable the trophies, after that they shouldn't be in your safehouse.

Payday themed the sims game.

Yep, they added that a while ago. Update 126 or so, I think.

But if anyone thought there would be more to the Safehouse than this: You're hopelessly naive. Both in usefulness (which there is none) and amount you can customise the safehouse, this is basically the limit.

Oh. Didn't notice that. But there is still no way to downgrade rooms right? (like I wanna hear sokol complaint how ♥♥♥♥ is that goal)

If they won't do it. Just say won't. Don't give people false hope.

Before release, it was
They say they won't do it: People complain.
They say they do it: The same people complain.
They just do it without saying anything: THE SAME people complain.

Now they did it and all that's left is trolls like you that complain about "this not being what I expected". Here is a tip: STOP EXPECTING THINGS! Then you can't be disappointed, most of the time. (In my case, I didn't expect anything from the new safehouse and it still managed to underdeliver)

I left some rooms un upgraded just to be different... don't like the Rust character anyway so it felt good...

It would be nice to be able to downgrade or even reset the safehouse upgrades though.

I think it would be great if they let you put a jpg or png in a file that would be applied to the van client side

Maybe the next new heister could have a Glove Room where you can customize your glove colors? <not sure if they could do anything like that, just throwing out ideas>

Thats called a mod override...

So add that feature in ingame mods?

Is there no way the devs can make that part of the game to make it easy for the average joe?

I'm just trying to think of ways they could really make it "customizable" or is customize in a video game only mean you get to choose between a few premade choices?

Overkill already made it drag and drop into your mod_overrides file
Example here: http://modwork.shop/9
You can edit its .texture if you want with gimp or photoshop but anyway this is getting off topic with it.

I don't have that file in my install, sorry.

So it wouldn't be too difficult then to make a GUI when you go to an area in the garage to work on it there in game?

IDK ... Im just trying to think of ways to make the safehouse feel more customizable. I know it is more of a dream. Sims games offer some neat options like selecting a pattern, then being able to adjust each part of the pattern color with a color wheel.... but Overkill is not EA

That's because by default, these are packed into bundles.
Mod_Override is EXACTLY what you're asking for - a basic, simple way to replace textures (and sounds, models and animations), purely client side.

I'm personally happy with the safehouse. It's pretty much what I wanted - an abandoned ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for us to upgrade into a swanky living space. The only thing I'd really like to change is the interior wall textures. The bare brick ain't doing it for me. I'd look for a Mod Overrides mod for that, but something something manifest.
