The Sakura DLC introduces a completely new set of buyers, Japanese-inspired properties, collectible items, and several achievements that work differently from the base game. One of the biggest changes is the expanded buyer system, which requires players to build properties around very specific preferences rather than simply maximizing house value.
Many buyer requirements are not clearly explained in-game, making it difficult to earn every achievement without understanding exactly what each buyer wants. This guHouse Flipper 2 Sakura DLC Achievements Guideide covers the buyer system, room requirements, every Sakura DLC buyer, and all additional achievements.
House Flipper 2 Sakura DLC Achievements Guide ([ear])
Before attempting any buyer-related achievement, unlock the following perks:
- Silver Tongue
- Honesty Pays
- Person of Interest
Silver Tongue and Honesty Pays provide additional buyer comments during auctions, making it easier to determine whether a property is meeting buyer expectations.
Person of Interest is especially important because it allows buyers to be pinned. A pinned buyer will always appear during auctions, letting you monitor their reactions while building a house.
To pin a buyer:
- Open the Buyer tab.
- Select the desired buyer.
- Press Pin beneath their portrait.
After pinning them, auction the property regularly while building. Their comments will reveal which requirements are fulfilled and which still need work.
One useful thing to know is that wall coverings and floor materials generally do not affect buyer satisfaction.
