Greetings, Flippers!
Get ready for an extraordinary week ahead! We are thrilled to announce that our most visually breathtaking DLC to date—at least according to the social media team—is officially launching next week!
Check out the House Flipper 2 – Sakura DLC here!
Let’s dive into what’s in store, broken down into three exciting updates:
🏯 What’s Awaiting You in the Sakura DLC?
We initially set out to include 300 items, but our 3D artists truly exceeded all expectations—we are delivering over 600!
That’s right: 600+ Japanese-inspired items, ranging from elegant furniture and lush greenery to traditional shoji paper walls, authentic windows, and intricate decor pieces.
Beyond the decor, you can look forward to:
- 5 fresh jobs, spanning from a serene tearoom to a charming abandoned primary school.
- 5 unique Japanese properties ready for your renovation touch.
- 5 new potential buyers with a deep appreciation for traditional Japanese architecture.
- 3 variations of a picturesque Japanese countryside setting, complete with breathtaking views of Mt. Fuji in spring.
- New hidden collectibles to discover.
- 3 intricate wooden construction assemblies.
- A set of surprising, new achievements to unlock.
Full technical specifications and patch details will be available on launch day!
🏠 What’s Included in the Free Update?
The crown jewel of this update is undoubtedly the new Buyer System 2.0!
As highlighted in our recent roadmap, this overhauled feature includes:
- Interactive auction feedback: expect real-time likes, dislikes, and detailed commentary on your renovation choices.
- A host of new prospective buyers, alongside a complete refresh of familiar faces.
- Comprehensive buyer profiles.
- Personalized buyer moodboards.
- Streamlined processes for unlocking specific buyers.
Furthermore, we’re introducing the long-requested empty plots for Story Mode, along with over 100 new items added to the shop catalog. You’ll also find the promised enhancements to roof construction. Keep an eye out for the patch notes for all the fine-tuned details.
Finally, we have integrated the motion sickness improvements recently showcased on our X account!
📖 Updates to Community Contest Rules
Whether you’re a competitive creator or someone who simply enjoys browsing the incredible work of others, we have news regarding our community events.
We are planning to launch a grand, championship-style Community Contest—an annual marquee event where past winners will face off for ultimate prestige. Because the competition is growing more intense, we are shifting to a “single-creator” submission rule to keep the playing field level for solo artists.
We absolutely love seeing the community collaborate, so we may still host team-friendly events in the future if there is enough interest—let us know your thoughts!
Mark your calendars: A brand new Japan-themed Community Contest kicks off the moment the Sakura DLC goes live!
That wraps up the major news! To celebrate the launch, we will be hosting a LIVE stream to showcase some gameplay, one day before the official release.
Join us on May 20th at 6 PM CET / 10 AM PT / 13 PM ET!
Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone! ❤️
