LAUNCHING FILE EXPLORER IN WINDOWS


If your game is launched, shut it down. Being in-game when you are copying files over could potentially cause issues with your game that you do not want. Be safe! Shut it down!

Open your File Explorer on your computer.

  • If you have the yellow folder icon on the bottom bar of your screen (the one with the Windows logo on it), you can single left click that to open what you need.

  • Otherwise, press the Windows key and type File. The first result should be File Explorer. Open it.



FINDING THE STORY MODE HOUSES FOLDER


If your game is launched, shut it down. Being in-game when you are copying files over could potentially cause issues with your game that you do not want. Be safe! Shut it down!

  1. Go to

    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Frozen District\House Flipper 2\Profiles\<number>\Houses

    • If you need to, change the "C" to the appropriate drive letter.

    • Replace the <username> with the username assigned to your profile on your computer. Oftentimes it is a shortened version of that computer username. If you see them, you will never use the Default or Public folder here.

    • In the House Flipper 2 files, your profiles are numbered. You will need to replace the <number> with the appropriate number. "0" is usually the first profile you created on the game. "1" would be the second profile you created, "2" the third profile, and so forth.

  2. Once inside the folder, you will see the files for the Story Mode houses.

  3. Select the file of the house that you wish to place into Sandbox Mode. You will notice that each filename has an @ symbol followed by a set of numbers.

    • If you only have one copy of the file you want in this folder, you can ignore the numbers in the filename, as they are irrelevant to you.

    • You may have more than one file of the same house. This is not uncommon. If you need to decipher which one you want, you can check the numbers following the @ symbol on the filename. The first set of numbers before the underscore ( _ ) symbol is actually a date. The first four numbers are the year, followed by the month and then the day of the month. So, the file called "WOSP@20241112_210752.house" would be the Great Charity Mansion from the date of November 12, 2024.

  4. When you have the correct file, copy the file you want with either (a simple Ctrl + C after single left clicking on it) or (right-click the file and click Copy).
