Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Nicodemus_Mercy]

I still want SE to add a "lamp of the emperor" so that we can make the primary light fixture in a house/apartment invisible. I'm not talking about removing the lighting, just the model for the lamp. Currently making a 2nd floor with lofts leads you to having to build around virtually every lamp because of how big they are, and eating up precious space and item count in most cases.

A lamp item that has an invisible texture and non-collision model, would be a blessing for me if no one else.

Please add the Norvrandt summoning bell as an option. I'd much prefer to use that version and have Feo Ul appear rather than my retainers.

I'd like to see the following:

- More decorative vases of varying shapes and sizes. There's a lot of them out in the game world used as environmental decor and it'd be nice to have more of them to place around our houses.
- More Garlean themed decor. Banners, flags, portraits, magitek constructs. Garlemald has been a key part of the game world since the days of 1.0 and there's quite a lot of people who choose to role-play as an Imperial soldier or defector.
- A Ysayle portrait.
- A Hien portrait.
- A Thancred portrait.
- A Yotsuyu portrait.

I would rather have instanced housing in your own private plot. Let the free companies or whoever get their own front facing community plot everyone can see. I want MY OWN in my own instanced area

Can we please have a way to transfer ownership of our houses to an alt character on the same account and server? I don't play my old character anymore but I LOVE the house, and would like to give the house to a character I play more... Or at LEAST let alt characters be able to decorate and port to the house like friends can. That would also work. I just want to be able to utilize the house on my alt character without spending boatloads more gil and then rejoining the house plot hunting game.

Another workaround would be to add the ability to add tenants to Shared Estate Settings from your FC and not just your friends list. Please, SE. ;_;

I’m not sure if this has already been suggested, but please add an “outdoor” version of the Housing Vendors; in particular, the material supplier.

Often when crafting items, especially the lower level ones, raw materials from the material suppliers are used somewhere along the recipe tree. So even when I feel like crafting outside in my yard, or craft near the marketplace for market researching before I start crafting, I often end up just going/staying inside the house because of the existence of material supplier.

My personal preference would be A-2 or Allagan resupply node. (I think A-1 would work if the exterior is forge or smithy, but mine’s not.)

That's a great idea and I'd piffyback on it with being able to have Retainer sellers inside the house!

Allow us to float/sink items and objects without having to use tricks or having to float through the floor
Better selection feature where other items cannot block your selection - ex) if I click on a clock, a window better not be what is selected
Allow rotation of housing interior or for an upstairs rather than just a downstairs- or a one story
Increase item limits for all
Add housing plot instances for those who don't want to live in neighborhoods, it's not like anyone talks to one another anyways
Prebuilt houses/interiors, or set floor plans much like housing plots
Take away chandelier altogether
Preview housing interiors as if they were items
take away/remove interior windows and pillars
The ability to use two or more wallpapers/flooring in one space- to help further separate rooms.

X/Y/Z slider system for furnishings.

Literally any of the following as inspiration for housing items, because SE continues to forget about an entire ward they put in the game.
