6:43 The flamethrower was something I didn't think I'd ever really use, UNTIL there were certain things that didn't work right and only the flamethrower would get rid of them. Like when you move a door inside a house and suddenly you have grass growing up through the floor -- there is NO way to remove it other than the flamethrower. Also, when putting down gravel or bark, you can't get close enough to tree trunks and so you have all these poky bits sticking up and ruining the look. The flamethrower gets rid of the grass and you can then put down the gravel/bark as close as possible to get an aesthetic look. (I just did this for my "In the Woods" house, which has horrid *yellow* grass everywhere and I wanted a forest look with bark/mulch.)
That stairs trick is genius! I'll have to try that! ^_^ And the gone potions are such a huge help O_O I actually waited to do the 3rd dungeon until I could make a bigger gone potion.
The game felt a litte unfinished at release, but I love that they are continuously workíng on more features and items and releasing them in free updates! I also love their suggestion box forum, and that they show which suggestions they are working on.
@clipstretch8147 that was my fear about HF2, after having been excited about House Flipper VR (anyone remember that one? the stepchild no one talks about) but was sorely disappointed by the cartoon graphics and deplorable mechanics. I've spent probably 2-3 hrs in the VR version whereas I'm currently up to 2300+ hours in HF1. I love the level of "realism" (such as it is, improved drastically by Workshop items) of HF1: I've created many houses that look quite realistic in HF1. There are some videos here on YT by Jellie and others that have realistic-looking houses in HF2, so I did buy the second game but as of this writing haven't started it yet. Already *not* looking forward to overgrown lawns ("gardens" as some call them) and the lack of a lawn mower, which was one of my favorite aspects of HF1 and should be included in the base game without question but wasn't. The devs learned nothing from HF1 in that respect, and it always makes me laugh when people say "The devs listen to their players" when clearly they don't. We're still waiting on bugs to be fixed that were reported at least 4 years ago...will the same be true for HF2? Okay, so I've ranted on enough, but suffice it to say I'm somewhat excited about HF2 but have some serious misgivings.
I played both, and I really prefer the freedom of HF2. Yeah, we have a lot less furnitures without all the DLC atm, but on the other hand, the "create a style" tool that can be applied to anything improve things vastly. 2 kitchens with the exact same furnitures could look totally different with another set of wood/color/etc, so the variety brought by years of DLC is compensated by the personnalisation options. Also, I prefer VASTLY House Flipper 2 for the assembly. While the assembly was first the first 2 or 3 times, it becomes way too tedious in House Flipper, I hate instaling washing machines in that game. In HF2, they found the perfect compromise, you can assembly for an item, once, if you really want, you can ignore it totally if you don't, and then all the item you buy directly in game are already assembled. The discount is perhaps small for the small items, but anyway, the easy items are cheap anyway, but it grows with complexity, and 6% on bigger items, without being gamebreaking, is still nice to have.
Some updated tips in August 2024 : Tip 9 : You have both curtains, blinds and carpets now. Tip 24 : You can buy those columns now. All the rest is still totally relevant, really good list.
The only good thing that came out of House Flipper 2 is the sandbox mode. I've played the first games for a long time, and with all the DLC's i felt like the possibilities was endless. Modern house, old house, or even a japanese house, no problem. in the second game i feel very limited with my furniture options. I find myself spending more time making facades and other boring stuff in house flipper 2, where in the first game i spend way more time decorating my house inside. It's the small details that made the first game better in my opinion. They should've taken the first game, and added the sandbox mode, then it would've been perfect!
Hey Sara, you alright? I noticed this is your last video. I initially found your page looking for differences between House Flipper's 1 & 2 (I chose 2, but I already played 1 before). Hope you're doing well.
Enjoy them both but not so keen on the cartoon style graphics of HF2.Original also had more choice for lights,pictures etc.HF2 wins by a mile for allowing you to build your own house from scratch though.
I start the game only 2 week ago, I have a problem, I cannot upgrade my home beside that I have all the resource and money I am already in winter I have second farm, I am not sure how to upgrade my home so quiète limited in place for furniture any idea?
Hi, I start the game little ago. I reaching for help. I ve plant tress but none bares fruits😢, I ve put bee propagator, from peach and plum I got a cherry, but none bare fruit. I finished nappy quest, and an other weird things I can’t upgrade my house! I have the material the money.., I have no clue why. All is tik but nothing happens when I press purchase? Please help. Me
I painted a bedroom in the asexual flag colors in one of the houses I bought and was able to match the furniture to it. I'm liking HF2 a lot more than the first one, but I still love the first game.
It's better it's just lacking in decorations such as the pictures the art that the first one has wish the second had, they should put all the things that are on the first one in the second house flipper, but everything else is alguds😊
I missed the before and after photos. Dev lame the game withtoo much unpacking which was so boring. They ripped off from Home. Great assessment by the way. Thanks
Yes she is planting them too far away. They might also just not be done growing. It takes them a while and even when they have bloomed they will continue to grow so leave them be they will climb up the trellis and drape over!
The order to do things: 1: All Demolishing. This saves time on stains and walking around. 2: All Selling of things. This makes you money. But don't sell panels or paint! 3: Bin all Trash. This makes more money. 4: Scrubbing the floor. This clears out the area in case there's anything you missed. 5: Vacuuming - it's easier to spot what's to vacuum after the floor is clean. 6: Now the house is clean, it's time to build walls. Place any new doors and windows that need putting in straight away. 7: Painting and wallpaper. You'll save time and paint because you've already placed doors and windows. Sometimes customers have already bought their own paint or panels, so check that they haven't changed their minds and save yourself money. 8: Replacing floors - walls and floors are interchangable. 9: NOW buy any new furniture and place it. Buy the biggest items like beds and cabinets first. Buy medium items like plant pots and casual decor second. Buy the plants last. 10: Now unpack any boxes - the contents can usually be arranged on new furniture. 11: FINALLY, it is time to sell any leftover paint or panelling.
So you build a bunch of platforms and stations, but what happens when you want to move and drive the Van again? you have to destroy everthing you build or do it pack up like some type of autobot?
lol....i just duplicated 3 empty cans of paint...oh well. It can't all work as expected! Thank you very mch for your video! It was VERY helpful. I learned a few very useful things.
I deleted the tires around the old house boat thinking I could replace them but found that you can't put them in the ground like they originally were. I was a little miffed.
The curtains & one blind (resizable) are in the windows menu, right at the bottom. I think most expect them to be in decoration or accessories. Not sure why they decided to put them in the windows menu, because that is under the building tab. Also, with columns, you have to place them on the ground, then use the upgraded flipper tool to edit it: click to edit, then use the "change size". You can resize and move the colum into place as much as necessary. Once you have one placed with the right height, you can then duplicate it, if the other points need the same height. Oh, also, an additional tip: I find it useful to place a light switch and then duplicate it around the property to all the rooms as needed _before_ connecting the wiring, if you duplicate it after wiring it you also duplicate the connections. If you do dupicate the wiring, don't worry, it is easily put: in wiring, point as the item you wepant to disconnect (switch or light) then hit "r" on the keyboard and it will remove all the connections to that item. I am not 100% sure, but I think the copy & paste to copy around the colours on the switches/lights will also copy the connections.
