Wendell the Walrus seems to have a distant cousin: Wardell the Manatee, who appears to run the store inside the Happy Home Paradise HQ. He'southward adorable, and nosotros love him.

There's besides Niko, the tiny, cute monkey who's wearing the HHP uniform, so we presume he's helping Lottie out, also.

Design Outdoor Spaces

Much similar Happy Dwelling Designer, HHP will let you lot decorate the gardens of your clients. You tin can put pretty much any furniture outside, and contend in a lilliputian front yard, as well.

Design Facilities

Again, like Happy Habitation Designer (sorry, we're going to exist proverb that a lot), you can pattern facilities: Schools, theatres, restaurants, and more, which will actually come up to life every bit your villagers practise various jobs within them — presumably dictated by the items you lot add to the rooms. How cool is that?

Your house looks cute, but it would await cuter in Spring, don't y'all recollect? Or mayhap a nice Summer sunset? Your wish is Happy Home Paradise's control, since you can change the time of twenty-four hours and the season to best show off your handiwork.

Embiggen Rooms

You can change the size of your clients' houses (within reason) to suit your grand designs. Y'all'd think they'd all want the biggest business firm, merely no. Sometimes small is cute!

Partition Walls, Counters, and Pillars

This one will brand some of y'all weak at the knees: Partition walls can exist added to divide upwards large rooms into mini-rooms; counter top can be changed; and pillars are entirely artful, just interruption up the room a little scrap in interesting visual ways.

Low-cal Levels and Soundscapes

If it's more of a ~vibe~ yous're going for with a design, try lowering the lite level, making it a little softer and warmer, and setting upward some ambient sound.

Polishing

Screenshot 2021 10 15T161708.210

This one's a scrap weird, absolutely. Yous can "polish" pretty much every piece of furniture, which will sometimes requite information technology an extra effect. The trailer showed off piece of furniture sparkling, and butterflies flying around sure things, like plants.

Earn and Spend Poki

Yous'll get paid for your home decor piece of work in Poki, which can be spent only at the Happy Home shop. Seems a bit similar scrip to us, honestly — but the furniture yous can buy with Poki is "rare", and then we tin probably overlook it this i time. We merely really hope Wardell and Lottie aren't in league to exist exploitative bosses.

Take The New Content Home With You

Once you've remodelled enough homes, you'll be able to accept all that furniture and new stuff dorsum to your isle, where you can use it on your homes, and even...

Remodel Your Isle's Villager Homes

...other people's homes. Once you're a renowned designer, your villagers might finally realise that they have awful taste, and look to y'all for aid. GOOD.
