Chronic SOS - August 18, 2023

I've been improving after taking vitamin D supplements for a few days; hopefully this will resolve most or some of my issues! Though I'm improving, I'm still very fatigued and it will take a while to get back to normal. In order to pass the time and distract myself, I will often play games on the Nintendo Swtch.

So today, I'm going to share screenshots of the game that I've been playing a lot recently: House Flipper.

The name describes it fairly well; you play as someone who renovates and "flips" houses. There are a variety of houses to choose from, as well as several jobs you can do for clients. They often add in pop culture references: Walter White's house, the house from Home Alone, a haunted house from Silent Hill, and much more.

I love interior design and decorating rooms, so this game is addicting! I've flipped several houses, and I'll share pictures of a few recent ones.

The Moon House

For this house, I tried to keep the style modern to go with the sleek sci-fi look that the house already had.

Stylish Violet House

This house has a modern garden with plenty of seating, fountains, and geometric shaped plants. For the inside, I mainly have shades of violet with black and white accents. Each room has black and white accent wall(s).

Barbie Inspired House

With the buzz from the Barbie movie, I had to do a Barbie inspired house. I tried to make it as pink as possible and I think Barbie would be happy here and move in ASAP!

The Home Alone Mansion

This is one of the houses that had a lot of pop culture references. When you first buy the house, it's mostly in good condition, but you have to clean up after the various boobytraps that Kevin made to defend the house from home invaders.

After I cleaned it, I kept a lot of it the same or similar, but changed a few rooms to fit what one of the buyers, the Jonson family, would probably like.

Swanky Turquoise Apartment

I liked the turquoise, white, and black color pallette so much that I ended up using it for most of my office/house!

This is one of the few apartments for purchase, so I was able to get it done fairly quickly. Still, I don't want to know how much time I've spent playing this game; it's my current painsomnia game to play.

Monochromatic White House

For a few of the houses, I've challenged myself to use mostly one color to decorate. One of the buyers, Dolan Tusk, wants a house with one bedroom, an office, and prefers white walls; I challenged myself to create a house using only shades of white and gray in order to create his perfect house.

It turned out better than I expected - but I would still hate to be the one to clean an all white apartment!

The Nintendo Swtch currently has two DLC packs: Garden and Pets. However, several other DLC packs are available for the computer version. I hope that they will release all of them to the Switch - I'm running out of new houses!
