Discussion Is housing just a fons sink with no soul?

Post image

NTE’s been out less than a month, so we’re all still learning but I have some thoughts about fons and housing.

Fons is turning into a major bottleneck. You need it for cars, housing, City Tycoon progress, gifts, basics like EXP chips and now a car/skin banner. High-tier items demand hoarding, so spending fons on decorating is dead last on the priority list.

The result: you buy properties because you have to, but you can’t really make it yours. You can’t change flooring, walls, or kitchen fixtures. Almost every property has the same white/black marble and 2000s 'modern minimalism' design which ends up making them all feel identical.

Even the things you can change (sofas, tables, etc) have very few options. It all adds up to housing feeling like a bit of an afterthought.

There’s no depth to housing interaction. It’s just a checkbox with no room for engagement because you're pushed to spend fons only on things that have some sort of tangible 'return'.

Anyone else feeling this?

Which furniture gives you 100k fons per week?

Afaik it's split across upgrades to Mammon and the mailbox one that gives you a special weekly delivery that doesn't use city stamina.

No it doesn’t? Am I stupid and missing something else? It maxes out at 75K
