- House Flipper 2 - I created a short tutorial to explain some of the tools used in sandbox mode and sprinkled in a few tips and tricks. I hope you find this helpful. If you want me to go into more depth regarding any particular tool, let me know in the comments.
Thanks to EmeraldTriesGaming for giving me the courage to do a video with commentary.

Possibly the only video or article so far that talks about the Transform tool and how to use its different features! I've been searching and searching, and you'r ethe only one who has explained these things. So, thank you! This is gold! :) 👍👍
I'm so glad it helps, I might have made a few mistakes when creating this video. It is my first time speaking on video and first time doing a tutorial but if it helps overall then I am happy. Thank you!
Thanks so much after weeks of frustration, you have done what the game and countless internet searches couldn't.
Thank you! I'm so happy this was able to help. 😊
Yayy, I'm so proud!! Great tutorial! And a BRIDGE?! I would have NEVER thought to do that :0
Thank you so much! I needed a bridge for one of my builds and I had seen someone post a shot of them going straight up looking like a ladder so I figured I would see if I could make them super flat like a bridge.
Thank yoooou GiGi!!! This is perfect 😍I've just been waiting for a video like this !!🙌
I'm so glad it seems to be helping. Thank you! 😊
Thanks for your video , it is really helpful for me :)
Hope to know more info about House Flipper 2
And I want to say : I like yorur voice , I feel good and comfortable 😌😌
Fantastic tutorial! Grateful for the valuable tips. Finally learned how to do sidewalk right in the first minute 😂 Looking forward to more - hoping you’ll turn this into a series! Please do one on kitchen design.
Thank you so much! I can do a few more tutorial/tips videos and maybe some room design videos too.
Or maybe do a follow along series on creating a specific house from start to finish like The Spanish Villa. That’s my fav!
I came upon your vid by accident...and watched and learned from the whole thing! Good job! :D What I was looking for (and still haven't found) is a video on how to make a sloped roof. I have tried so many times and always fail. I've been looking for an instructional vid for quite awhile, and I'm sure YOU could make one! :D I accidentally deleted the sloped roof on a building I was remodeling and have yet to figure out how to replace it, and I have been unable to find video help. Thanks!
I honestly love how much detail you put into telling us the little details that we, the players mostly, are in desperate need of. Edit: you’re outstanding. You put so much rigorous emphasis and effort into the genuinely underlining the crucial elements we had no idea how to make sense of when approaching. Thank you so much.👍👍👍😇😇😊
7:12 is the only tiny thing I wanted to fix the house; that thing that wasn’t centered would’ve annihilated me too much, lol.
Great video 10/10.
Thank you! I am really happy the video ended up being helpful. I have never been very good at explaining things, sometimes I don't have the words but I am glad that it worked out this time. And yes, I would never leave the window like that if I was actually building a house....that would drive me insane. 😊
A very clear and detailed tutorial that speaks to us in a real, natural manner. I will certainly return to this when i start playing.
And just to be clear......did you say we can tunnel underground? So many additional opportunities running through my head now for potential builds. So looking forward to my journey. Thank you Gigi for this wonderful guide.🙂
Yes, you can build underground and make a "tunnel" of sorts. Once you understand how the terrain is designed in HF2 it makes more sense. It's literally a layer of ground and then empty space underneath so it would not be true tunneling like in Planet Coaster or Planet Zoo. But you could make a tunnel out of rocks. People are making houses underground like hobbit houses. The terrain negotiation just takes some fiddling with to get it right. I'm glad you liked the tutorial. It was the first time I put my voice on video so it was uncomfortable for sure but I thought that it could be helpful. 😊
I did wonder if sharing your voice was an uncomfortable experience. Huge credit to you for pushing through. The result was a truly helpful little guide. Thank you for explaining the underground building too. It still sounds like an engaging experience. Builds will be reaching new and amazing levels.🙂
I`m so happy that there are Korean subtitles. Thank you for the video.
You're welcome, I had fun making the video! 😊
New to the game this video is very helpful, thks Gigi, I plant to design my own home from this at some point, Cheers
Thank you very much! 😊
Tysm for this!!! Sandbox mode had me totally lost this morning 😩😭💕💕💕💕💕🙏🏽
Idk why but coming from Sims 4, house flipper 1 & 2 both seem like they * should * be so much more complicated than ts4, but they are both so much more enjoyable to me that I usually don't even notice!!!
Would also absolutely LOVE more in depth tutorials, keybindings and keyboard shortcuts in particular would be helpful to me, but anything you have time for and feel like making would be amazingly helpful ☺️☺️☺️🥰🥰💕
When I first played sandbox mode I was pretty frustrated so instead of building a house right away I just started using every tool and every option to see what they did. Once I learned the tools it got a lot easier and so much more fun. It is similar to ts4 in the ability to do certain things like terrain negotiation and free item movement but the tools to do those things are a bit more clunky. Yet for some reason I have a lot more fun playing House Flipper than Sims. I'm glad this video was able to help. I am putting out another "tutorial" explaining how to create a job and put your house on mod.io but after that I can look at other tutorial videos that review some of the tools in more depth. Thank you for your comments! 😊
1:24 I literaly was searching it for 25 minutes. When she said "resize" I went from not knowing who she was to loving her. thanks
I'm so glad that you found the video helpful, thank you for your comment! 😊
Oh my god Gigi - this is AMAZING and SO helpful!!!! I am on day five of my first custom build (why did I choose something so BIG to make first?? 😅😭😭😭) and I am still learning and now you've just added a whole other layer of detail to our capabilities!!!! Brb - off to put cushions EVERYWHERE 🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL, I'm happy that the video is helping. Hopefully one day soon we will actually have pillows! I can't wait to see your build!! 😊😊🤣🤣
Please don't hold your breath - it's enormous 😰😰😰@@GiGiDesignGames
lol 🤣
I have has so many issues with adding a roof in general. Also when you fill in the gap on the gable you added what do you do to not have to delete the extra bricks, They doent seem to even appear for you at all when you even go out past the actual gable. I am sure its a setting that I an not getting set in advance.
You have great videos I have learned a lot already.
Thank you! There is a setting for that. When you have your wall tool out click Q. There are additional settings when you click Q. There is a box called Limited by roof. Click Yes, then when you build walls they will not go above the roof in most cases.
@@GiGiDesignGames you are awesome tysm!!! Please keep making these tutorials I know I love them and appreciate you doing them and I know others dio as well!!
You can use the Chipboard to make really thin walls. This might be easier for those diagonal walls you want to make :)
Oh that's a good idea! It was also suggested that you can use resizable beams. I really like how the community figures out different ways to do things. The game said "no diagonal walls", the community said "hold my beer!", lol
what is the chipboard? :0
The chipboard is an item in sandbox that can be resizable. I have started using it a lot for borders, trims, and now diagonal walls. You use it to make it a wall instead of the way I was trying to make diagonal walls. It is definitely easier to manipulate. It doesn't have all the finishes available for it but it has most of them. @@tabbytiger2070
That was really helpful, especially the diagonal wall part, I'm totally going to use that. Also I would love another tutorial but on the mission part (for example, I still don't know how to add vacuumable things)
Thank you! I don't think you can add vacuumable things. I have looked for that as well and was unable to find anything but I can do a video on creating quests/missions in your build. I have not played with it very much so I will need to figure it out first but that is a very good idea for a video.
I saw other people using vacuumable in their build, so I think it can be done, I just don't know how. Also, I was playing with sandbox a few minutes ago, and it seems that beam can be used as diagonal wall. @@GiGiDesignGames
It can be done, on the adding dirt section I can’t remember exactly where but it says vaccumable dirt and you click it on
It must be in the dirt section or in the store....I will look when I get home. @@CitronVert2
Thank you, It must be in the dirt section or in the store...unless I missed it in the trash. I'll have to take a better look when I get home.
This is so helpful! Do you have any tips on how to use the quest tools?
I actually have a tutorial video releasing this morning about creating jobs/quests.
Thank you for the class. The only problem is that you can't teach (or we can not learn) your good taste😂
LOL, you are so nice! I'm glad you liked the tutorial. 🤣😊
Great video GiGi. I learned so much. Do you know how to add your own photos in the frame mode? They have one, but it's too complicated.
Thank you! To use your own pictures in frames you need to save your pictures in the Documents/House Flipper 2/Pictures folder as a jpg. No other format will work. After you do that you should be able to see them on the user tab when you choose your picture. You can only use the picture frames for this. Hope this helps.
@@GiGiDesignGames I will try it tomorrow and let you know how it went. Thanks a lot for getting back to me, promptly.
@@GiGiDesignGames I still couldn't do it. Hopefully, there will be a better Tutorial on it, shortly. Have a good day GiGi.
@buildingwithbeckyYT has a RUclips video that explains a little about it. She has chapters in there so you can go to the Custom Artwork chapter at 5:00 and see if that helps. Here is the video: ruclips.net/video/JfefyajQIdY/видео.html You need to use picture frames only...the empty ones. If you still don't see your artwork in the User tab then let me know and we can go from there. There is also this video I just found that explains even more: ruclips.net/video/nP5ZlU7cLIc/видео.html @@deannejohnson848
@@GiGiDesignGames Thank you GiGi. It worked!!!😀
Hi, do you know if we can curve the roof to create some Chinese like house style or Japanese style ? Thanks
There is no curved roof but you can use a couple sloped roofs together to somewhat create this however I was unable to make it look really good. You can try to use the half inner curve pieces from sandbox only buy menu to create something and then add some trims. I just tried it in game and it does work depending on what you are looking for.
I’m building a brick interior wall (like a masonry wall) but I want to make it white, I’m getting no option for a colour change, or an ability to paint the wall white (in sandbox mode), am I able to do this?
Use the surface finishes tool and then click Q to see all the options. You can see me using this tool starting at 7:00 in this video.
I’d love it if you’d do more voice overs😊
This one was great
I have thought about doing a commentary video through an entire build. It's something I am thinking about. 😊
Is there any way to delete some of the photos you’ve taken? I only used 3 cameras but there’s double photos for most of the cameras
You can find the photos that you take here: C:\Users\gigigames\AppData\LocalLow\Frozen District\House Flipper 2\Profiles\0\Photos. I think you can just delete the duplicates.
Quick question: Can you change the size of the windows?
You can but it doesn't look right, it doesn't change the wall behind it. You can change the size of the glass walls so I use those as windows a lot.
I just tried to build one of your houses... I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong with the dimensions cause the bedroom was TINY. As in, I could fit a bed in there and nothing else lol
Everything else fit fine but I could not make the bedroom work at all.
Hi thanks for the video! I wanted to ask you how do you buy furniture where you make money? Thank you
If I'm understanding your question, you are asking how I am buying furniture without making money or having no money. This is sandbox mode so the money is unlimited. Story mode you have to have the money saved to purchase furniture on a purchased house. I'm not sure if this is what you are asking though. If that is not what you are asking, please ask again and I will try to answer.
@@GiGiDesignGames ok thanks, yes that's exactly what you understood I was asking. I was asking you why these days I'm trying to build houses and I noticed that some components (furniture) the money isn't enough to buy, that's why I was asking you. He won't let me buy it if the cost is too high
Hi, how to remove an overlapping roof?
It depends on what the issue is. If is 2 roofs that are aligned perfectly but have a texture issue, you can use your transform/move (uncheck grid snap) and move the roof up or down the tiniest little bit. That will stop the texture flashing at you. If you are having issues with roofs clipping you can go to the options of the roof and play with the clipping options. Sometimes roofs just don't do what you want them to do.
Any interest in building a house together?
I don't think House Flipper 2 has multi player yet but I do believe they are looking in to doing that. Wouldn't that be so much fun! 😊😊
Especially at the sandbox mode the game has a lot of bugs!!!!!please fix it!!!!
