Buyer preferences not working correctly

[Sleepy Lich Disease]

I keep seem to be having an issue with literally every house I flip. Certain rooms are being complained about by buyers even when they are not in the house. Specifically, people complain that they only wanted 1 bedroom when I only have 1 bedroom, and Giorgio always complains that he doesn't need a kitchen even when there is not a single kitchen item in the entire house and no rooms are classified as a kitchen. Is there a way to get them to properly recognize what rooms are in the house? I even tried building and then removing a kitchen just to see if that would fix it, but no dice.

Not sure about the kitchen, but I'm sure it must be a similiar problem. It's a little bit tricky.

I'm using the couches that look like actual couches, not beds, so I'm not sure why that would be. I'm not using the little sectional sofas, just like, the big ones with arms and backs and all that, so if that's the case that seems kind of broken? Also the only items that make a kitchen a kitchen are a sink and a fridge, so unless the bathroom sinks also count as adding a "kitchen" I'm not sure what I could possibly have that would do that.

Also for clarity, if I make a one bedroom, the bigger families do mention that one bedroom isn't enough for all the kids, but then other buyers say they only want one bedroom. So SOME buyers are recognizing that a house only has 1 bedroom while others think there's more than 1, for some reason.

During the creation of House Flipper a lot of devs have worked on it. In the meantime the game has expanded and sometimes it produces such glitches, like in the matrix. ;)

Right now, you just need to figure out what is the best for buyers and which furniture fits to their whims. And yes, it is a little bit tricky, but I hope it's not so much annoying.

ooof,

this is seriously your answer to this question as a dev., sir? This user is mentioning problems that are existant since day 1, as far as I know. And I doubt you - as a team - don't know. I am really sad about what is -not- happening to this great game. Shame on you!

cheers

btw. Adult Fiend Finder - there are really a lot things to .. how did rivid say.. "figure out". Please, don't try to be logic in that case, because there is none. Couches counting as beds, is like you have mentioned, one of these problems. There were a lot of threads with answers to your question/s.. I hope you can or already did find them - Good luck, have fun

I'm literally unable to satisfy their whims is what I am saying, and yes, that is extremely annoying. I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me with this. Is this a feature or a bug? Is this going to be fixed or not? Which pieces of furniture are counted as being part of a bedroom or kitchen? Again, I'm in a situation where I make a 1 bedroom house, and the buyers that want 1 bedroom complain that there's 2 bedrooms, but the buyers that want 2 bedrooms complain there's only 1 bedroom. Somehow my house is being counted as having both 1 and 2 bedrooms no matter what couches or beds I use. Somehow my house is being counted as having a kitchen by one buyer when there is no kitchen at all and not a single piece of kitchen furniture - no stove, no cabinets, no sink, no fridge, no oven, etc.

I've tried everything to figure it out, and I've scoured these forums. Everyone says it's because some couches are counted as beds, but I've tried every couch and still have the same problem, and I doubt that every single couch in the game is also counted as a bed? And that still doesn't explain the kitchen issue, which I haven't found any answers for. All the complaints about bugs I find on this discussion forum are answered with "Well we're working on Garden Flipper right now but we might get to fixing it eventually" which is honestly inexcusable. Bugs should be first priority, not paid DLC. Apparently all of these "glitches in the matrix ;)" that I'm running into have been around since the game came out according to the forums, that's a serious issue. If anyone has an actual answer for me for how to get around these bugs, please let me know.

There are some mathematics involved.
For example everytime we buy a house and start to redesign it note the comments from the buyers.
They all hint at what they like and don't like.
The Student says he likes green for example.

To check what buyers like or dislike have a look at he buyers > base of tablet.
There should be description of them.
Everytime we sell just for the sake of selling these descriptions are updated.
Example.

Yes, I'm aware of how the mechanic works. That's my problem, I'm giving them exactly what they want and it's not correctly registering. So Giorgio says he doesn't want a kitchen. Great, I didn't put a single kitchen item in the house, but he still has the "What do I need this kitchen for?!" in red. Even when there is no kitchen at all whatsoever.

[Jaunitta 🌸]

I disregarded the red texts it usually from another sale and just left there until fullfiled in another sale.

Who is top place 1 item they hate.
Who is 2nd place 1 item they hate
For Georgio
Buy the burned house<< this the key for him. The red haired guy?
Clean the house and sell all the furniture including kitchen
Then buy 2x Linen closet the ones in the survival section. Look like old slats types with aluminium walls place in a room next bath room.
then buy 1 Double bed Warmy 589.04 its grey with 2 white 2 grey pillows and 2 cushains place into bedroom. he should go the top

This is utterly irrelevant to the problem. I have a house with a sofa bed in the living room. That counts as a bed for the buyer. I have a house that had a double bed in the combo-office/bedroom. They said there was no bed!! Not no bedroom. NO BED! I re-arranged, got a single bed, walled off the bedroom. All of them say there IS NO BEDROOM AND NO BED.

To the dev trying to blow smoke up people's backsides: What you've said is that your team have been sloppy and lazy, and have no intention of correcting these problems. That is a real shame. I'm changing my review. These "bugs" are making it impossible to satisfy ANY BUYER! It's bad enough that some raving idiot thinks that a weed wacker is a lawn mower. That is unspeakably frustrating, but doable. I've tried everything regarding the bloody bedroom situation.

STOP TAKING SMACK AND FIX IT!! My suspicion is that the bedroom bug has to do with the original blue print of the house. I think this isn't updating as we renovate. As to the beds? Who the devil knows! The same sofa bed that was seen as a bed in one house isn't in the next. Programs are only as good as what you put into them. Trash in - trash out. Clean up your code!

[patalfou]

sure! there is a big problem somewhere and problems must be fixed at first !

I'm agree with GimmeGimmeGimme, Adult Fiend Finder and DestinyFate. it's said!

[Taru]

Still not fixed, having the same issues. The couple doesn't recognize the living room even though there is one in the house.

The other day I did a house specifically for Georgio. Had him at the top of the list. All I had to do was add the exterior doors, Added one and he dropped off the list. Took the door out and he shot up to number one again, In the end, I tried every door, even the interior doors, with the same result, He completely dropped off the list of buyers until I got rid of the exit door. I ended up just starting a new game figuring the save was somehow corrupt.

I am trying to do the "baby on the way" remodel and it says to buy 5 pieces of furniture I purchase the items and put them in position, but the item count still stays at zero, why?
