Item mods made by players - like the Steam Workshop in HF1
in progress

Hi everyone, we haven't posted here in some time and wanted to give you a brief update.
We're finalising the modding tool that will allow you to use your own materials, textures and patterns on walls and... Yes, yes, on the items too!
It still needs some time to shine, but we're one step closer. At the same time, we're working on the other mods, but this is something for another update.
Stay tuned, Flippers, and be sure to check out Scooby-Doo DLC, there wasn't a better moment right at Halloween itself 😄
Cheers, Jay & the Frozen District team

I am sure this will be a huge undertaking! Thank you to FD for taking it on.

so, according to the update on this, they're working on a tool that lets us change patterns and textures(I thought we technically HAD that, but apparently we'll be able to upload our own?)... but there's no mention of being able to port in player-made items.
So basically what we're getting is another version of the picture importing ability, only we can use it for wallpapers and textures.
when what this thread was requesting is allowing us to import actual furnishings and items.
I mean... it's Progress? but I wouldn't mark this as 'complete' when the new modding tool comes out, because being able to change the texture, material, and pattern isn't the same as being able to upload a keysword (avoiding copyright with a certain animation studio) or a Folding screen, or a viking helm.
Yes, the swords and suits of armor in the DLC that just came out are nice, but it's not the same as HF1's workshop. I could find Crystals, Laser swords, Superhero Logos, even building brick kits and board games (the dungeon one is cute, but it's not the same as being able to stack a shelf with boardgames I grew up playing, friendo) that I could put in and make a build feel more like a lived-in home.
the modding tool will be great, but I will consider this thread 'Complete' when I can officially hang a dwarven battle ax on my wall-and I don't mean a flat, 2-D image. I want dimension, I want to have limitations as to where it can go because it'll collide with the sofa I wanna hang it behind, or a wood stove to stick in a rustic cabin that I can set cast iron pots and pans on. Until then, no, it's not complete with a tool to change texture, material, and pattern.
you're making fantastic progress. I love the game. but I keep going back to the old one, like my last comment on this thread stated, because I can get items I WANT through the workshop on steam.

ueala1: It won't be marked complete! This post is clearly about item mods.
We need to build lots of infrastructure underneath for anything custom to work with HF2, and custom materials and patterns are the next step! Just like custom houses and custom pictures were the first steps for this whole process.
These materials and patterns will work on walls & on items, so future custom items will need to work with this as well!
Slow and steady, but we're getting there 😁

Jay thankyou for everyone’s work on this tool! I’m super excited about even just the update regarding it! Going to be a total game changer once it’s all done!

Did... did they just give us an "update" with little solid info that ended with a pitch for the new DLC? ... 😅??
edit: Also forgive my ignorance but, isn't it only a mod if it is player-made? Surely they're referring to modding tools?
Jay
Ray O: Yes, it's a modding tool!

Jay Thank you for clarifying.
For the community's sake, please be more transparent about when you edit your comments in the future, especially if you're going to have them pinned.
It might seem like a small thing, but I really don't want people thinking that I "just misread" when I made my comment. :/ At the very least, acknowledge the mistake/typo/whatever instead of hoping no one notices or assumes the issue was with me.
Thanks.
Jay
Ray O: Sure! Just forgot, I did edit it. The original will always be on your email

Jay any update on this? We have had several people ask about it in the House Flipper Gaming Community FB group.

A mod.io workshop

I don’t know if this is possible, but I would really like to have a workshop like on house flipper one. That would be really cool and could allow people to be more creative and free

To the dear developers,
Thank you so much for making HF2 the same on consoles and on PC.
Thank you for NOT listening to selfish and unempathetic players (!!!) who think that only PC should have access to mods (through Steam).
By the way, thank you also for using mod.io (which is a solution that has always worked very well: both on consoles and on PC).
I hope the idea of this post will be implemented very soon. Being able to create and use modified/custom items will be great for the game.
With love,
— A.
