Anyone interested in housing would be better served moving to an MMO with better housing, such as ESO. All instanced, vastly different locales to choose from, different house styles, tons of furniture, lots of control with decorating (don't even need to use a third party tool to move on the Y axis, imagine!), many even come with yards for those who want them. Blows this poor artificial scarcity neighborhood system out of the dang water.
I've heard lots of good things about ESO housing. I also remember Rift housing quite fondly. SOLO had some insane options like flipping things around freely and creating a completely free layout of walls, floor tiles, roofs, levels but was mostly limited to chinese style.
Of all the games I've played, FFXIV has the most limited housing both in terms of availability and design freedom.
