The unofficial Housing Guide

[Gospel]

Anybody know how to turn off cragsoul lamps and fireplaces? I've seen other players do this but I can't seem to find the option for it. Any help would be appreciated!

I'm working on adding pictures to the Eorzea Database so everyone can see what the furniture pieces actually look like.

We finally bought our house last night! (As a small FC with only 4 and a half active players, gaining the money wasn't nearly as hard as gaining Rank 6. Anyone else had a similar experience?)

Anyway, does anyone know if the item limit for the small house includes the yard or does the yard have a separate item allowance?

Yep, the yard and interior have separate item allowances.

Yep, the yard and interior have separate item allowances.

Thank you. That's great to know ^^

PS3 players can rotate the furniture etc but can't find any controls for the pc. Do you know where to find them?

There's actually a button at the bottom for moving, rotating or putting furniture away in the UI for the PC. Click Rotate and then the item to rotate it.
The only thing that bothers me is that as PC user we have to put the item down before we can rotate it. But what if we just want to see what it looks like so we can sell it if we don't like it? Stupid binding...

Kind of vague question but is there anything that doesn't count against the furniture limit indoors? Like walls/flooring/lighting, do those count against it?

Also I believe medium construction permit is 1mil, large is 3mil?

My question is, do you have to immediately build a house after buying a plot?

Interior Fixtures such as walls/floors/chandeliers are placed in their own menu. The caveat is that you can't retrieve or move their floors once set - so if you have that ADS lamp, better like where you put it.

No, we had a purchased but empty lot nearby for about a week before its FC got around to buying the house.

I am trying to figure out how SE considers a plot to be inactive too.
