Since there is so much variety, it never feels like a slog to design each home. There are 48 slots open, but there's no telling how many homes you can design since you have the option of doubling up on properties. NPCs will use these facilities once you complete them, really bringing the island to life. You can help Lottie develop the facilities surrounding the Happy Home Paradise offices too! Build a school, a cafe, and more. I may or may not have created a Scarface-esque vacation home, laughing the entire time.Īs I said earlier, if you get struck by the muse or unlock new items or ways to build, you can double back and offer a new design for any of your existing clients. Yes, you'll have simple clients that just want a quiet little place to read books or drink coffee, but then you'll end up with some that want to make it rain with a swanky apartment space.

Your skills are pretty limited with your first house, but as you grow, you can always return to the client and spruce things up with your new know-how. The fun part is that these houses can be ever-evolving. Polish your furniture, adjust your lighting, add a little ambiance with a little background sound, or even use partition walls to add that kitchen island you've been wanting. At some point, you can add partitions to separate sections of a room, have folks double up in homes, and even bring your knowledge back to the island! In fact, you can bring everything you learn from your Happy Home Paradise position home. There are just so many options, and the more clients you help, the more you can do. It's actually pretty relaxing! I enjoyed getting each theme, and then selecting wallpapers, furniture, and flooring. While they do have a few specific requirements for their homes, it's up to you to provide the theme, ambiance, and make it perfect. As the Happy Homes designer, your job is to realize the clients' vision, from the wallpaper to the decor. You don't have to do a lot of the leg work, acquire or build anything, or guess what you need to do. The first client is right there, and they have pretty simple requests to start. While the game has the classic "Nintendo" tutorial, it's helpful that the game eases you into the job, like in real life. You have the option to go to work, make some Poki, and all you have to do is design a vacation home to your client's tastes.

One of the best things about this expansion is the sense of purpose it gives the game, and a low-pressure one at that. Happy Home Paraside Photos (Image credit: iMore)
