UK resident playing house flipper

[LegacyGamesPlayer]

I am thinking about buying this game. However, I live in the UK and I see that all the houses seem to have a US setting. Are there any UK residents playing this game and if so what do you think? Are there any UK game alternatives?

I live in England. The houses are pretty much what you want them to be. Most of the fixings and utilities are American/Canadian. But that takes nothing away from the game. It is a good investment. The user time is infinite, because the possibility to create, is endless. The game is being updated on a regular basis. There are many DLC's. So for me, it mattered not that most of the content was State side. Plus, there is a vibrant community, where one can seek advice and help. And, a Workshop where wonderful people create beautiful things to put in the old cat an mouse. Well worth the time and money. If you are creative, or just need something to waylay the tediousness of daily life, get this game.

The game is not actually American - it's Polish. I'm not sure why the houses have such an American feel to them. There are some Polish-sounding item names and (very minor) translation errors, (most noticeably, in the Christmas email mission) but overall, the quality is excellent.

One of the first things I did was set the currency to GBP in the gameplay options. The only thing affected by this is one of the achievements - instead of earning a million Euro, you need to earn it in whatever currency you have set (about 10 different options). So you'll need to sell an extra house or two.

There's a game called "Landlord's Super", but it's less popular than House Flipper and the reviews aren't as good. The gameplay is also different. House Flipper is mostly about renovating and decorating interiors - you Can't build houses from scratch. Landlord's Super has a main character who is a builder.

Overall, there is no game on the market currently that has similar gameplay to House Flipper of the same quality. I have tried Castle Flipper (by a different developer). It's an absolute joke by comparison. The Tenants is nice, but has a totally different feel.

Thanks. I notice there is a mobile version of house flipper. Does anyone know how this compares to the PC version? It is a while since I have played games so I am not sure.

They are pretty similar in gameplay aside from the different controls. I think the mobile game you're talking about is free, so at least you'll get a feel for it without having to put anything down right off the bat.

Don't hesitate to go and try it out for yourself, I think you'll have a lot of fun!

@Merianna, I have played House Flipper on the mobile phone for a week or so now and I want to buy it on Steam.

@tatiana, Landlords's Super seems right up my street as well (excuse the pun).

They are £15.49 each. I regularly receive emails telling me to login to Steam (the application installed locally - not the website) and select View/Inventory to get "big" discounts.

Should I be paying £15.49 each for these games (seems reasonable to me)? I have only bought a few games prior to this in 2016 and hence the reason for the question.

yeah would be nice to see EU/UK fixings and sockets and things like that......
