Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Clethoria]

What about a loop (wall), hook(wall), weaponrack(floor/tabletop) or something that just acts as a visual storage device for a weapon with a maximum of 5 or something?

Pardon the contradiction. I wasn't thinking. And yes that'd be good to. I just want to hang it up high in their shrine... it's normal to build one right?

I would like the ability to set tables, chairs, and what not on the new stages added last patch.

It would be nice to be able to put the Manor musical instruments on the stages.

I know I'm repeating myself, but please help show support at this thread

I wonder if it's feasible to do a customizable weapon rack or armor stand using a modified system of the new aquarium tank... (Pick a couple items and turn it into one furniture)

Would need a way that doesn't consume the item for this though, for the same reason I'd always explained for a glamour log; want to display your relic at your house? Burn the item and start from scratch again! Granted we have replica now for the relic but the same can't be said for other weapons/armors.

Copied here from my original thread:

Dear SE,

Please consider allowing us to mount the shield of our dear friend Haurchefant in the hallowed halls of our private and company estates.

More technically:

Please consider allowing static housing items which can take glamours, similar to how picture frames are working. I would like to have a rack to display my collected weapons, a case to contain my SCH and SMN books, a place to display armour, and of course, a place to hang Haurchefant's shield for all to see.

Raimille's portrait would be nice

I would love to be able to turn off the white arrows that show when an item is interactive. It was already a bit much with lamps, foods, aquariums and the like, but with the picture frames added in, all I see is white arrows everywhere.

How about a toggle, on/off check box in the housing menu somewhere?

Character Config > Display Name Settings > NPCs tab > Housing Furniture

(fix'd: too much going on right now, missed a step)

Oh wow! Now I feel silly.

Thank you so much!

Not a request, but I just want to say - thank you, SE.
Page after page I kept on asking, again and again, sometimes begging, sometimes snarky and ironic, and this patch, all my dreams came true @_@
Still dizzy from actually having simple, pattern-free white walls. From having countless picture options. From having big pictures now! Indoor mini cherry trees! So much happiness..♡_♡


Now if you could actually finish up that feature we got promised back in ARR with the freeroaming minion in the house, then my basket of yarnballs would actually have a purpose :3 *lets fat cat free to play*

Other request is:
Can you please give us the option to freeze growing plants in a certain stage? It could even be an item like the fertilizer, only that it adds to growing time instead of shortening it, so that way, the player would need to keep interacting with it to keep it on a certain stage. It's just such a waste to having to replant and regrow pretty plants every few days from 0
And no, vases are not helpful for that; they only hold the finished flowers, no lush rose bush or delicate cherry bonsai.

I'd like a Bonsai pot, to transplant all kinds of different colored cherry blossom Bonsai inside the house!!!

I prefer the plant not to glow.

Bonsai pot, or ceramic pot, can also hold the other two fully bloomed indoor plants as a little bush of a flower, would be also very adorable.

[MistyMew]

Again a huge thank you for the white partition we can dye!!! and the white wall option is nice too

This is a long list of things I really think would make housing more creative and enjoyable, especially for those that have a "need" to let loose their creative side. They are not demands!!!...nor any indication of disappointment.. please see them as positive possibilities!!! D.

Hopefully the housing developers can dip into some suggestions when time/resources permit
They are merely suggested for those who crave to be as creative/expressive as possible.

-first and foremost: double item limit
-toggle ability to hide decorative wood pillars along walls or/ an option to dye them
-partitions that can mimic all wall coverings, including half partitions.
-ability to dye ceiling tiles + wood ceiling dividers (dye separate colors would be awesome ^^)
-addition of floor we can dye
-ability to dye the current white wall ^^
-ability to dye pillars
-ability to deeply bury partitions , in fact any furnishing, deep into the exterior walls and into the permanent pillars
-removal of "no place zones" near staircases, all exterior wall depth limitations , all of them. ability to place items on staircases (without the need of the glitch to achieve) would then be possible as one example.
-rugs up staircases we can dye, ability to choose color of staircase wood
-ability to hang wall mount items from stair railings/banisters (again without having to use glitch)
-ability to add more ceiling lights anywhere we choose (even if smaller versions only are available to accent directly over an item /area etc)
-addition of a musical carousel furnishing, using mini "primal" ponies.
-outdoor: taller trees double height of ginkgo tree with branches starting farther up to allow for walking under but with a very broad canopy
-spooky erie old dead tree for halloween - large and creepy
-more night glowing "tree of life " style trees

Next are the not expected suggestions, difficult ideas ...BUT would loveee them and will mention just in case its possible one day!!

-**possible removal of "tabletop" and "floor" only limitations, as well as " outdoor" only limitations.
allow us to use anything...anywhere we choose. exceptions would be gardens, chocobo stable. but 99% of items could be used indoors or out. which leads to the next suggestions directly...

-**ability to resize any item...to very large and very small.
This alone would relieve much of the item limit issues and one could scale items to cover more area but also improve creativeness to allow...large items like gargoyle statue to be scaled down to mini table top size/shelf size for display etc...or even an outdoor tree scaled down to become an indoor plant display .. Resizing would add a lot more creativeness for players. Scaling to enlarge would also be very enjoyable, add this with the ability to bury...and tilt on any axis and we have the ultimate winning combo!

-**ability to dye every item

-**ability to suspend any item, mid air, any height, anywhere (without the current glitch needed)

-**ability to bury items into the roof, floor. (any amount)

-**ability to tilt and manipulate any item to any angle ie: to achieve a spilled drink or a chair that has been knocked over. upside down fun house with the ceiling as the floor and floor as the ceiling Oo. etc

-**trees that change leaf color/shed leaves with seasons

-**addition of personal screenshots as new "paintings" option

-**allowance of a few minions to wander outside or inside home

-**addition of ffxi music to orchestrion ( I know...but I would love it) lol

-**addition of special "effects" Rift has items in which an items icons are only visible in "edit" mode but display beautiful special effects when placed ...ie/ a spotlight of ANY chosen color light.., a raising smoky effect, dripping water effect, flame effect, lightning , sparkle etc. This can accent and highlight an area specifically or a single item this way..many many possibilities and results.

-**non destruction of housing glamours ie/ moogle, chocobo ,eatery etc. allow us to freely interchange without needing to destroy. ppl would be encouraged more to collect all of them if they are NOT destroyed each time (I know I would ^^)

-**remove 1/estate limitations on items like the indirect lighting

-**adjust lighting per floor

-**addition of room expanding doors eventually to increase size of interior homes ..ie patio door to exit into a sunroom/conservatory/pool room something like that..

-** the best possible suggestion, however not expected(but hoped for one day) : ability to build from scratch.
