Strategies of Dream House Days:

An easy way to make money by maximizing deposits from new tenants:

You need at least 1 big apartment for rent and any other (cheaper) apartment to relocate people to.

Decorate a big apartment to get as highest rent as possible.

Recruit tenants for apartment, select the tenant with best stats or biggest deposit (depends what you are after).

Relocate recruited tenant to cheaper apartment (costs 5 tickets).

Recruit another tenant  for the big expensive apartment, relocate and repeat as long as you have (empty) apartments for rent.

(Note: Tickets are rare so think before you make a choice.).

Marry another existing tenant. It frees an apartment to be rented out for another deposit. You can try to mate them by placing a bench near their apartments.

This way you get the maximum deposit when you get new tenants, just keep relocating them until you have no more free rooms left.

DO NOT ask a hired tenant to leave, this will cost their deposit +10%. This is the downside of this "trick", so make sure you actually want to keep the residents you hire (hence the select stat remark at step 2).

Player Comments of Dream House Days:

I've been a fan of Kairosoft for more than 2 years and I have the very first version of this apartment sim. In comparison, nothing changed much aside from the ticket where you can purchase it from the earnings you get while playing and not by actual money. It's still the same fun vibe of watching your people being together, helping them with their careers and life choices. I wished there could've been more challenges and rewards and the tine could be a but slower so tenants could do more.

This was the first Kairosoft game I picked up almost a decade ago and I have been an addict ever since. Once you have played others, this one is a bit different and could have a bit more to it than it offers but overall great game. If you're looking for something with a save state, no in app purchases or ads, that is engaging and doesn't require you to be connected to the internet to play, this game is among others in the Kairosoft catalog I highly recommend plus replayability.

What a game, played the free version on and off for years, finally caved and bought the full edition. Very satisfied, always, I love checking on my original town and progressing another year or two while also building up my high scores in a new town. It's such a fullfilling, cute, in-depth and self paced game, I can only recommend it.

DHDDX is a decent conversion of the pay-to-win model. You earn tickets mostly based on how long you play (can also be bought for in-game currency but it's pricey), which is not too bad unless you only play a little here and there. Then you can become softly progress locked. Otherwise it's a good home builder, 20 years is where it calculates points so you've got good time to do things. Could use a second game without the ad-based model.

Final words:

You play both architect and landlord in this fanciful new sim, and it's up to you to furnish your ideal abode with anything from arcade games to saunas to convenience stores. Certain combinations can power up your rooms...and their rent. Put an HDTV and game console together to make a game room, or a grand piano and painting together to make a fine arts room!Rise up the rankings of real estate fame and you might reel in some celebrity tenants, ranging from hit singers to soccer stars!
