Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

I'd really like a greater variety of NPC's to place inside my home to make it feel more 'lived in'.

There's a few merchant NPC's who can be used as a stand in for a butler or barman but it'd be neat if we could also have cosmetic guards that stand around on 'patrol'.

I used mannequins for that but I really wish I could place my retainers inside my home, not outside.

Add Attics instead of basements in small houses

Make apartments larger/ allow 2 tenants

The option to remove all interior windows.
Allow floating/lowering of objects without the floating loft trick. To be able to float/sink in open space.
An additional tenant to apartments, making 1 owner into 2.
Add surface placement to ALL flat surfaces. This includes all partitions, beds, lofts- sides of lofts, doors, windows, chairs etc. without having to use floating tricks to do so.
The option to remove unused floors entirely.
Fix the placed item selection. If I place a window in the front of the house, I do not expect to accidentally grab something from across the room simply because it is given priority for no reason.
The ability to use separate floors and wall papers on the same level. Half tile, half wood, half brick, on one floor.
Increased item limit by 100 for every house/apartment.
add more partitions types with archways.

Blank Floormats - basically a ground equivalent to the blank partitions: A floormat that we can apply any of the Flooring-options to.
Dimensions and default look could mimic the Flooring Mat we already have.

I would like to see wardrobes or a new type of one gain an interaction function similar to dressers.
And that we could sleep on our private chambers bed the same way as if we did if we were to at an inn's bed when we logged off and online again.

Bee hives on Trees
Bee Apiary for Yard

Pumpkin patches

New chocobo Stall with farm equipment/ Gates attached

Houses with yard themes, since items are limited, having a blank yard is really ugly. Design new houses that also have yards to match.
Tree house with overgrown vegetation.
Ishgardian Tudor home with stone entrance & overgrown ivy pillars, etc.
Witchy house with creepy looking trees, etc


Rounded windows; cottage style

I've suggested a housing idea before on the forums but it didn't get much recognition maybe me posting the link to a blog i made towards it could help receive recognition https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes.../blog/4603795/

I didn't know I needed these exterior options in my life until now. The ivy covered one just screams Lavender Beds.

I don't know f this has been mentioned, but the ability to toggle the ceiling light fixture on or off, in addition to changing it would be pretty nice.
