Housing Skins!!! Any new idea's?

How about some more housing skins? Anyone have any good ideas for some more skins you would like to see?

A few I can think of are :

Ginger Bread house
Ice castle of some sort
Old log cabin

I'd like a Sylph house skin.

I know of at least one FC waiting for a Tonberry skin.

I would like just more skins of normal houses. A larger selection like varied stone, wood and composite designs rather than more of these awful cutesy ones they have been giving us.

Brick perhaps or something of the sort as well. The more I see the choco, moogle and that terrifying Paissa exteriors the more I pray for instanced housing.

Cutesy is just not my thing. Cool if its yours, but damn it gets obnoxious sometimes...again see the Paissa exterior.

Any you don't have to be in a FC to gather and make... I'd like something spooky but they have no decos to match. Outside my Wildstar house, I placed a cemetery with spooky trees and made a gallows by making wood planks and adjusting them to create the look. A quest afforded me a hangman's noose and I placed a little guy hanging in it hehe. Unfortunately, you cannot get creative in this game.

Yes I would have to agree with this, for individuals to make the current skins is basicly impossible unless your fc allows you to use thier workshop. There should be some skins you can make via regular crafting or allow people with thier own house to have a workshop. As for the apartments they could either put a workshop option in the common area for each apartment there or put in a door in the apartment for workshop access

I'd love to see some based on the Beast Tribe designs. Kobolds could be a mass of pipes and smoking furnaces, Sylphs could include trees and flowers in bloom...

Why would an apartment need a workshop to make housing skins? ;D Also who has an fc that won't let them use the workshop to make a housing skin? Just have the mats ready to roll and snag 3 other people to stand around watching cutscenes while you turn things in. I get that it's not the most convenient thing ever, but they're not making you jump a canyon for it either.

I'm after a tonberry housing skin myself (depending on how it turns out of course!), but I would like to see some non-creature based skins as other have suggested as well.

I've seen some fc's that are so tightly controlled where virtually only a couple ppl can deliver mats, progress it, and remove items made in the fc workshop. I do know I have seen some other threads requesting workshops to be made available for personal house's and I would only think it fair for apartments to have the same consideration. The apartments should also have a balcony of sorts for ppl to have some outdoor type furnishings too.

I had actually been in a fc once where I was in the highest rank for the fc aside from the leader position and the rank the original founder of the fc where all there were just 4 of us in that rank and all we could do was deliver mats for the workshop, gardening, feeding chocobo's, invitations/applications, get and use actions. Only the fc leader could promote/demote ppl kick members, place furniture, start/progress/collect projects in the workshop, doing anything with the the airship, and everything else. The fc leader of that fc had everything controlled by her and her alone, probably because she was afraid of someone trying to take over the fc like she had done to the original leader. Needless to say the original leader had transfered to a different server better suited to her time zone.

That's crazy. You'd think anyone that wound up would just make a rank they could temp grant people with access to only the mighty bubble and switch'em back to their previous rank once finished.

There's been some horror stories of people dismantling airships (the relevant part to allowing access to workshop), or cleaning out an FC house entirely. If you give away the right to promote, anyone can promote themselves to leader and kick the original leader out. So I can see why some would be reluctant to allow free-for-all access.

I'd like to see more normalish housing. I think brick housing would look cool, or stuff based on the beast tribes. Maybe something that looks like a beach hut for Mist, cabin for Lavender Beds and sand hut for Goblet.

Or ya know, do what they've been asked on here for quite a while now... get rid of the requirement for 4 people to be there since it's not really group content.

Yeah you would have to be careful about that. You can make a rank however that doesn't have promote privs, can't mess with the airships and can only deal with the bubble. The options available for those that don't have access or haven't checked "hierarchy" settings:

And now this is derailing fast. Back on topic, a lush garden skin with large exotic flower blooms and vines all over the wall/roof would be great. :D

You're right haha. Also I would kill for something like this. <3 Tropical paradise house, I'd put it in the Goblet.

Tavern with outdoor beer garden

Is there a specific kind of tavern look you were going for in this request? Was googling taverns and there seems to be a broad spectrum as to their design. Also I've not been to a beer garden and those just seem to be a bunch of tables/benches? Please note, I'm not trying to put down the idea, just pull more information on what you had in your head. ^^ Right now for example you could probably go with the arms supplier's wall, put some desert ironwoods and then some tables/benches of your choice along with lighting if you have enough furniture slots for it and you'd be close to what I saw on google. We could probably do with some normal sized and extra simple long bench/table sets though (to the furniture wish list thread!).

Personally, I'd like something in the Amdapori and Nymian styles, like the kind of structures you see in Lost City/ Amdapor Keep and Wanderer's Palace. Would match well with the Amdapori Beacons, too. If not that, then a few different styles of exterior with plants going down the side, like a wood version, stone version, etc.

I have wanted this and only this for a while. I would give millions for this.

Normal styles would be nice too, or themes that have less of a mascot flair. Housing themed around the different primals would do well, I think, as long as it was just style/color and not just blatantly the primals head on top of the house or whatever. Could be interesting to see what they would come up with.

I mean I would leave it up to them about how they want to design it to fit their games look. I think the important part is like the shop, eatery, etc. is the feel. Like having signage with a tankard of ale on it.

You are correct that much needs to be done with furniture. My current house's main floor is designed to look like a bar. Complete with small kitchen area, jukebox, bar top area and seating tables. I wish there was more options for bar parefenalia like tankard to put on table tops, still really wish I could get npcs to sit on chairs so I could put a drunk at the bar.

Not a new suggestion but Haukke Manor theme would be greatly appreciated.

I'd like this. Kawaii uguu houses aren't my thing. I want my estate to be a massive dark, burning stain on the ward map. With piles of scrap metal, garbage and looks like an otherwise rough place to live.

Actually if they wanted to do instanced housing the floating city would be cool for that since you can't actually get there.

I want a garlean/castrum themed house
