I dont really wright reviews but I just thought this game was really cool! I enjoy the art style and the gameplay is fun and not stressfull, I also really enjoy that you can decorate how you want and it feels kinda realistic at the same time.

Love that you can decorate rooms and have to follow what the people want but can move things around to make it look like what you want.

Messy, tedious, and frustrating in ways I didn't know were possible. I was really looking forward to playing this when I picked it up during the winter sale but it's not even worth the discounted price. The tutorials are nearly useless and half of the time spend "renovating" builds is fiddling with item placement to make the game happy with how accessible furniture is. Maybe the creative game mode is more worth while but the main story mode is not for me.

Don't get me wrong I enjoy the game. Has some fun modeling jobs and a bit of competitive. Not much space to put most items tenets are wanting which is a bummer. Also to many things a tenet will end up complaining about lol. Overall I have enjoyed playing since I like the games were you remodel and just relax but I don't see myself playing as much as I would like to play but will keep installed so those moments I want to do a job .

I purchased both the Tenants and the DLC, Pets. Gameplay is fun if a bit repetitive after a while. Mostly designing and decorating small apartments, to earn money to purchase your own, to fix up and rent out. I like that aspect. The decorating seems to place an emphasis on decorating and using small objects to enhance the "lived in" feel of a home. For example adding toilet paper, a plunger, and toilet brush to every toilet, or books to bookshelves. I find myself playing for an hour or two at a time before moving on.
I do regret buying the DLC and would not recommend it. Pets adds tasks which are more annoying than fun, like searching the entire slum for 10 stunned and dazed parrots, or figuring out how to use the mouse to "stroke" a lost pet, fix their leg, and then try to get them adopted. Meh, I could deal with less direct interaction for the pets. I do like that the tenants can have pets but in early game, when the apartments are small and cramped, there is very little room to add items pets need.

Cozy game. I have had this game since Early Access. It is quite addictive. If you like to manage and to decorate, this game might be it.

I just can't bring myself to enjoy this game, even though I really want to. The biggest flaw for me is the annoying puzzle aspect the devs shoved in: you're expected to perform renovations that consist on cramming objects into tiny rooms. I don't know how this works later on the game, but at the beginning it feels impossible, without even taking aesthetics into consideration.
Some other things just feel ridiculous as well, like having to keep your tenants happy by doing things like hiring masseuses and giving them gifts, like lol?? Nevermind having to clean the unit for them, while they're actively living in it. Is that something landlords do in whatever country this was made in? To me it's something out of an utopian movie and makes me want to laugh.
Also, as pointed out by previous reviews, a lot of the mechanics are just slow paced and boring (the uncle's speed is atrocious and dialogues can't be skipped), especially the property auctions.
If you're looking to decorate nice apartments or manage several properties, there are games that excel in each aspect. Not worth paying for this weird mash that's mid at best.

The gameplay did not meet my expectations. It feels boring, and placing items is clunky and inefficient. Additionally, the renovation requests and overall game environment don't make sense to me and make frustrated, which makes the experience unenjoyable.
