Apartments should be bigger

With the housing shortage being the problem it is, I'd happily settle for just an apartment if I could have a green space for gardening/striking dummy, and if they were slightly bigger/had an additional room/floor. As is apartments don't satisfy my desire for my own house because they are far too small and lack the ability for me to garden.

Apartments are bigger than small houses were on release and they cost 6% of what you had to pay back in the days for something equivalent.

Crazy how people can never be content with what is available to them. If you want more, buy a house.

Because being content with the status quo always makes things better and motivates companies to be better =)

There should be a size difference from the FC room. Same square footage, different name, different cost.

As if this specific forum has had a good history with bringing positive changes. Just look at the hidden timer :rolleyes:

There is one major difference, you just didn't mention it. Was it on purpose? ;)

Maybe could add like an ‘Apartment Extension’ option at a high cost? Like maybe 3/4 million to extend to size of small house (two floors)

That way you can still ‘get a house’ (in a sense), without having to actually ‘get a house’ (stand afk at a placard for 34 hours spamming ‘buy’ and getting ‘not available for purchase’)

Is there someplace that actually has the dimensions of the different housing types? It may just be me, but apartments feel narrower, so I'm not certain if they're the width of the first floor of a small house with the depth of the second floor or something. Honestly I think if they made the loft housing item a floor rather then a tabletop for item placement and were able to figure out something for gardening, most practical issues with apartments would be a solved.

<MEW> strikes again.

Apartments could be a little bigger or have a patio, no reason to knock him down for wanting more. The only thing is it would need to be smaller than a cottage or make FC rooms free or something.

Both. Some people hate when others lives get better, they think it somehow minimizes any prior work they put in or struggle they went through.

I agree with the idea of upgradeable apartments. Start with the current size, then pay a lot of Gil to make it bigger. Even a way to do gardening can be added.

I currently own a medium house so telling me "go buy a house" just makes you look foolish.

If SE could make the apartment unit (the instanced part of the complex) size really massive as well as an instanced balcony, to give way for more designing ideas, it would be great.

I have a small house, happy with it. I still would like apartments to be made better, currently they are really lacking.
They should be bigger and have something like a balcony where you can grow crops/cross breed. Would solve the housing problem for a lot of people.

Then what's the point of buying an actual house. I'm not against improving apartments, but if SE does that, I'd like to see something done for houses as well.

Don't punish people for having houses instead of apartments. It should be the other way around.

I disagree with this suggestion, mainly because growing crops and intercrossing is one of the main perks of buying a house in the first place. I think that limiting Apartment rooms to only having access to flower pots was a good idea.

I wouldnt mind seeing space increases for apts though, but it should cost a good amount of Gil$

If you bought your house solely to water a garden, then I guess the point would be that you can grow twice the number of crops with a house and improved apartment.

Yes. Paying money for a game and then asking for improvements is begging for handouts. You are a very insightful person with much to say on the state of humanity and the concept of welfare.
