House Flipper: Luxury DLC Review (TheFlump)
This is easily my favourite DLC, closely followed by the Pets DLC, but the luxury DLC just edges it out for the couple of features added in this but unfortunately don't reappear again. Luxury completely refreshes the game with a new urban landscape in the overworld and in the background a nice selection of unique high end properties with a ton of new expensive furniture and decorations to furnish them with. The luxury DLC objects I also got the most mileage out of, as in I was pretty much always able to incorporate Luxury DLC furniture and decorations into whatever style of house I was trying to go for whether it was classic, Art Deco or Contemporary. I even had to force myself into just using items from the later DLC's for a few houses just because I would still end up falling back on my favourites from this DLC.
This DLC also had my favourite jobs out of the base game and DLC's because of how unique the mood board system was. The first thing I'll say about the mood boards is that it's criminal that this wasn't the format that was continued for the jobs throughout later updates and DLC's. The mood boards were so nice for being able to make your own decision on how you think a room should look, whilst also being restricted to the clients wishlist. The second feature I love about this DLC that I also think is criminally underused, not just in later DLC's, but also this one is furniture restoration. Furniture restoration was a really cool feature that I wasn't expecting, that was only used a handful of times on jobs and just forgotten about after. You can't even restore furniture in any of the Luxury properties that had furniture to restore as part of the jobs. All it needed was to be expanded upon by giving you some more objects to refurbish, more options to refurbish them in properties you buy and continued into later DLC's. Just imagine, as part of the Farm DLC, you could've been able to restore an old truck abandoned in a barn or something like that.
