Hometopia’s Floorplanner option is a darn cool feature. If you’re a big fan of The Sims, you’ll probably empathize with how frustrating it would get planning a room, only to turn all of your plans on their head when you realized your home was big enough.
#Hometopia game windows
This made things a lot easier, allowing me to quickly place my windows all at the same level. There were a decent amount of options to choose from, with the potential for Steam Workshop additions (I hope) being introduced later down the line.Īfter trying to align my windows and doors, I soon noticed the option to snap the window height. My next job was to add some doors and windows to the outside of my home. While I appreciate the level of detail that’s gone into Hometopia, it does feel like there should be some quick options for those that don’t want to spend too much time on one area of their dream home. For anyone working on a large build, this could get a little time-consuming. Frustratingly, there wasn’t an option to paint all of the exterior walls at once.
When you’ve chosen the exterior, simply click or click and drag to paint the outside. You can choose from different wall exteriors to design the outside of your home. Once you’ve got the foundations sorted, the fun begins (at least for me it does). The building process is actually fairly intuitive, although I would have liked the option to be able to drag the wall foundations across the entirety of the floor foundations, rather than having to deal with each corner separately. I quickly realized that you don’t need to leave a gap for any doors (external or internal) to be placed. The controls are relatively straightforward, with the game displaying some helpful tooltips throughout. You can place single foundations down if you’re planning an intricate build, or you can drag your mouse to cover a larger area. Simply click on an option to start building. Here you’ll find the wall, half-wall, floor, and ceiling foundations. Much like The Sims, you can choose the Build option from the toolbar to get started. The first thing you’ll do is build the foundations of your home. While there isn’t a step-by-step tutorial within the game itself, there are some handy Hometopia tutorial screens before you get started. There’s a choice between Small Neighborhood and Large Neighborhood, depending on how much time you’ve got on your hands! For this Hometopia review, I opted to create a new neighborhood.
Sandbox NeighborhoodsĬhoosing Sandbox will allow you to create a custom neighborhood, work on an existing one, or build using a template. If you’ve got the time, it’s definitely worth investing some into Hometopia. The Hometopia demo is currently available to play on Steam. Be on the lookout for our livestream at 10am PST / 1pm EST and grab the demo here: /4f4Uu3UM1R- Hometopia October 1, 2021 Our demo for Hometopia is now available on Steam!
