Home Sweet Home

The Sims is one of my favorite games. The best aspect of the game is creating homes and decorating them. After that I usually don’t actually play the game. I just build neighborhoods with lovely homes and no residents.

Home Sweet Home is a casual game that challenges you to decorate the homes of your clients. You are given somewhat cryptic information as to what they are looking for. Then it’s time to buy the furnishings. Watch that budget because buying the furnishings is only half of the equation. Next comes the build where you help a crew create the room under budget and on time.

During the building phase, you can help your workers by giving them coffee or handing them a needed tool. You will also have to administer first aid if they get hurt. Any time a worker is away from a task they are assigned, their progress is slowly lost. This can really put you behind schedule so it’s best to meet their needs as soon as possible.

Home Sweet Home is a lot of fun especially for those who like the interior design aspect of The Sims mixed with time management. A demo version of the game is available at Big Fish Games.
