House Flipper released back in 2018, and developer Frozen District has since released multiple DLCs, a VR version, and most importantly, a direct sequel. This last addition to their repertoire hasn’t stopped the DLC for the original game, though.
The latest DLC, which is due for release on November 26, is called Dine Out. Predictably, it’s themed around restaurants and their renovation, but it also comes with a lot of new features which will be very useful and fun to experiment with outside of the DLC content.
If you’re tired of being a property developer, the Dine Out DLC offers you the opportunity to hang up your renovating hat and instead don a chef’s hat. With the addition of a new tool called a Universal Cooker and the added benefit of the new Cookbook, you can cook to your heart’s content in your very own renovated dining space.
You can’t actually sell the dishes you make, sadly, but you can use them as decorations and if you have the previously released Farm DLC, you can even get a discount on ingredients depending on which items you have in your inventory.
Another exciting new feature is leasing. Rather than just renovating a property and then saying goodbye to it forever, you’ll now be able to get some tenants in. Rent will depend on the type of property (residential, office space, restaurant, etc.) and how many rooms the property has.
It’s not been stated whether the tenants will look after the property and respect all of your hard work renovating, but that would definitely be an interesting mechanic.
As if all of the above wasn’t enough to make the Dine Out DLC incredibly tempting (do I need any more DLC? No. Will I get it anyway? Probably), the following will also be coming on November 26:
- New grid measurement system for precise placement of objects
- Customizable neon signs
- Customizable table cloths
- 10 new quests and properties to renovate
- 30 dishes included within the Cookbook
- Ability to symmetrically place items on flat surfaces
- Over 1,350 new items
