House Browser

[Sgt. Scruffy]

I just absolutely hate the new house browser because all of the hard earned statistics are now gone. We can no longer see how many items were mounted, windows cleaned, tiles laid, and walls that were painted etc.

We can't even see the measurements of how big the yard is anymore! This makes Garden Flipper completely pointless since we're going out there blind.

We also can't even see how much money was spent on the furniture bought. This makes absolutely no sense. Showing just the renovation cost is not the whole story because now the numbers don't add up to the profit made.

The furniture sold cost was extremely important because we were able to compare and contrast our work and monitor our progress for improvements we were or weren't making. For example there are two houses I sold to the retirees twice in a row. On the second house I finished I was able to learn I spent more money on furniture bought even though it earned a LOWER profit.

Taking away all of these details is detracting the game. This change was absolutely ridiculous because it is a step backwards. We are now blind. The little gavel on the new browser is cute, but the old format is better. It is more enjoyable to critically think with the hard earned statistics on display. We need them back.

I agree, I always checked to make sure weeds were 100% gone and the house was 100% clean.

That's right. It was a very good checklist to follow.

I haven't played in a while except for the last few days hoping to see improvements. I still can't see how to cut the lawn and how that might fit into the overall selling price. The curb view has always been a factor in selling a house,

Endar I use the trimmer to cut the grass with because I can't get the hang of the lawn mower. You click on the right mouse button to pick your tool.

It's easy, turn the speed up to max, hold down action and move forward: everything in your path will be destroyed beyond recognition
