Hey there, Flippers!
The doors to the House Flipper Remastered Collection are officially open. While we are glad to see many of you starting your new renovation journeys, we know that the launch has not been smooth sailing for everyone. We have been closely reading your feedback, reviews, and bug reports since day one, and we hear your frustrations regarding the current bugs and rough edges loud and clear.
Please know that we are a relatively small team, but we are giving it our absolute all to iron out these issues as quickly as possible. We are fully committed to continuously polishing, fine-tuning, and perfecting this game until it reaches the high standard you all deserve. To start tackling these issues, we’ve just deployed our very first hotfix to address some immediate kinks.
🗓️ Looking Ahead: Ongoing Support & Improvements
First and foremost, we want to reassure everyone that this launch is only the beginning of our journey. The House Flipper Remastered Collection is a long-term passion project for our small team, and the game will continue to receive dedicated support, active updates, and regular improvements! We are fully committed to polishing this definitive edition and giving it the care it deserves.
🎒 How Steam Workshop Integration Works
Since House Flipper 1 and House Flipper Remastered Collection are two completely separate applications, there is no way to directly link their workshops or automatically migrate items through Steam. However, the Remaster can smartly read and convert files from the old Workshop on the fly as they load.
Here is exactly how you can use this depending on your situation:
OPTION 1: You have House Flipper 1 installed on your PC
If the original game is still on your computer, the process is very simple:
Go to the Remaster's main menu and look for the option "Import Steam Workshop items from legacy House Flipper". Simply check it. Please note: this option can only be changed in the main menu.
Steam will automatically download the items to its default House Flipper 1 workshop folder (%programfiles(x86)%\\Steam\\steamapps\\workshop\\content\\613100). If your newly subscribed items don't appear right away, you can force Steam to download them by clicking the 'DOWNLOAD" button next to the "PLAY" button.
⚠️ Crucial Note: The Remaster only reads files directly from the first game's folder - it does not copy them anywhere. If you uninstall House Flipper 1, Steam will automatically delete those workshop folders from your drive! Consequently, the items will disappear from the Remaster, the menu option will become hidden, and upon loading your save, the game will automatically sell the missing furniture, refunding you the full cost in in-game cash.
To avoid this before uninstalling HF1, move your workshop files from the HF1 directory 📂%programfiles(x86)%\\Steam\\steamapps\\workshop\\content\\613100 to the HF Remaster directory 📂%localappdata%\\..\\LocalLow\\Frozen Way\\House Flipper Remastered Collection\\Mods just like in the GIF below:
OPTION 2: You DO NOT have House Flipper 1 installed
Players without HF1 installed won't have access to the integration toggle in the settings at all, as Steam prevents automatic file management in this case. If you don't want to install the first game (e.g., due to limited disk space), you can ask a friend to share the files and install them manually:
The files are originally located in the folder: %programfiles(x86)%\\Steam\\steamapps\\workshop\\content\\613100. Each mod is a separate directory named after its unique ID (GUID). Simply copy these folders and paste them directly into the Remaster's mods directory on your drive: 📂%localappdata%\\..\\LocalLow\\Frozen Way\\House Flipper Remastered Collection\\Mods
In this situation, you don't need to activate anything in the settings - the game will automatically detect the files, and a dedicated extra mod tab will unlock on your in-game tablet! Keep in mind, however, that if you want to download completely new items from the workshop, you must own House Flipper 1 and subscribe to them directly on its official Steam Workshop page.
⚠️ CRUCIAL FOLDER NAME WARNING: Do NOT rename these folders under any circumstances! They must keep their original numerical names designated by Steam (for example: 13221321). If you change a folder name to something custom like mod1, the game's loading logic will completely break, and it will fail to read or display the content inside!
🚀 What Does the Future Hold?
We are intensively working on a brand-new Workshop created specifically for the Remastered Collection. We will release a new tool that allows creators to build and share fully native items on the upgraded engine. Once it's ready, we will also prepare a detailed tutorial for you, as the mod creation process will look a bit different.
💡 Please remember: you use all external modifications at your own risk. We do not take responsibility for items and content created by the player community.
🖼️ Low Texture Quality? Here’s a Quick Fix!
We’ve received reports from several players mentioning that the game's textures look blurry or low quality. If you are experiencing this, it is likely due to your default graphics configuration.
Please try heading over to Settings -> Advanced -> Texture Quality and changing the value to a higher setting (for example, switching it from An eighth to Half if you cannot set it to Full). This simple adjustment will make your game look significantly crisper and more detailed without causing a drastic hit to your performance!
📝 Hotfix Patch Notes
Resolved visual artifacts when using the SGSR upscaler.
Introduced a Sharpness adjustment slider in the graphics menu.
Restored a material setting on MowableLawn.mat so that mowed grass is now properly updated and visible on your minimap.
Fixed a bug where frequent use of the Duplicator Tool would sometimes cause the item to break.
Added Sharpness settings
Added missing nullchecks to resolve a few minor stability bugs and analytics issues reported by users.
Fixed a minor exception error in the TilesAndPanelsPack related to analytics.
Fixed a black screen issue occurring on laptops: if a player saves DLSS settings, exits, and later relaunches the game on battery power (unplugged), the system will now properly check if it can run DLSS instead of throwing a black screen.
Fixed a missing collision issue on the terrain located behind the fence in the "Dog business for sale" environment by reactivating the component.
Fixed a progression bug on the "Sunset Bay Sea View" and "Sunset Bay - Change of Place, Change of Pace" missions, meaning you can now officially complete them to 100%.
Adjusted the laptop popup window to more clearly communicate information regarding the job map and North Levyville.
Fixed a bug where changing the variant of a placed item with an invalid material caused its material to reset.
Fixed an issue preventing items from being placed in the center of the gazebo.
Fixed the window cleaning interaction when holding another tool.
Fixed an incorrect setup for one of the cat scratchers.
Fixed garage boxes floating and not being placeable on top of other objects.
Fixed an issue with the Pastel variant of the Restiee toilet.
Thank you all so much for keeping us updated with your logs, bug reports, and constructive criticism! We are continuing to monitor game performance and your feedback incredibly closely.

We appreciate your patience while we work hard behind the scenes to get the game to where it needs to be.
