Two specific housing questions from a new apartment owner

[tinythinker]

Question one: your apartment should be the first thing listed on your Teleport menu if you have All or Other selected.

Question two: Right click a song in your playlist and select Play All, Shuffle or Repeat there. I don't know why the buttons at the bottom of the playlist don't work.

Question three: Yeah, some of it is confusing.

Question four: Allowing others to visit your apartment isn't a problem. No visitors can remove anything from your personal housing. It's only an issue if you have a house and give someone else tenant access with the ability to place/remove furnishings. In that instance, the tenant could take some you purchased.

Mog station items can also be lost if you own a house that gets demolished and don't claim them from the Resident Caretaker within 35 days. Not a problem with apartments since apartments have no auto-demo.

Oh, you know, I never use the teleport button. Ever. Forgot it existed. Thank you so much.

As for the orchestrion, yeah, not sure what the issue is but the work-around I discovered is good enough for now.

Hmm, as or granting people access it's all or nothing, eh? No boxes to check/uncheck for "friends", "fc members", "public". And no way to boot people.

Oh well, I mean, how many creepy people can there be in a game like this who would squat and do disturbing things inside of another players home?

As many creepy people who would do it in real life if you couldn't call local law enforcement to get them arrested, of course lol.

I think that's an extremely rare problem in the game over all (though it does happen). I suspect most of those doing it continue just because they got a reaction from homeowner the first time around or because they've had other altercations with the owner in the past. Ignore them and don't give them the attention they're seeking and they're unlikely to come back.

Or go out on a limb and encourage them to visit your house whenever they want. I ran into a couple of people acting questionably in my house one day. I just started chatting them up while not commenting on their behavior and told them to feel free to drop in any time they want. As far as I know, they've never returned.

OK, just getting into housing, trying to figure lots of things out at once. If people want to troll in a mostly empty box, well... *shrug*

Well you don't actually to really worry about this part as it's simply not possible to give others permissions to your apartment, you're the only one who can ever change things in there (same with FC rooms). The option for adding other simply doesn't exist.

Private houses however you can add 3 tenants who have to be on your friends list. There's not a huge amount of permissions, but you can give them each the option to use the garden, add/remove/move furnishing or use the orchestrion (or a combination of the 3). With the furnishing though it's both add and remove, there's no "add and move only" option.

FC houses have a little more flexibility in that you can let people add items to the house/move things round, but not remove, but this doesn't work particularly well with storage (can't remove items to storage from my understanding).

But yes, sorry there is currently no way to remove someone from an apartment or house. But then if you've got someone hanging around in there, take a bow, you probably did a good decorating job if they like it that much :P

hehe i've got nothing to worry about, then

mostly i'm just curious about how things work as i never got into housing in other games but with my apartment in this game I am intrigued... but also gil and crafting poor for now, so i'm using imagination and doing "more with less" the housing does make me want to use retainers more for selling and to get my crafting going so that's a plus
