Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

Adding onto this, an item to allow us to freeze/preserve a flower or garden crop's state (maybe taking it out before it is done growing using a special item like shears or such?) would be great. I feel like it'd be relatively easy to add since the models for each growing stage already exist, and we'd be getting 4 "variants" of each plant!

Yes, I agree this would be nice to have as well. Having different pots of various growth would give more options in decorating!

I'd love to see something like this big vertical crystal added as an indoor item. I was trying to make an underground area with some crystal formations in the walls the other day and realized there's not a great way to do so currently.

Please separate the fence from the house itself when remodeling the exterior with the newer house skins. I understand the house itself being one item since it could lead to all sorts of awkward holes and nonsense, but the fence? Please let us use any fence we like, they don't even touch the house! q_q I had to sacrifice my favorite fence to use the newest cottage skin when it came out, and I still miss it to this day.

One per device account, I have one on an old character I no longer play, why can’t I share ownership? As far as I can see I have to give it up and hope my new character wins the lottery? Madness is this

I would love Tuliyollal and Solution 9 housing interiors with the new design system! Alongside the additions of 'Tuliyollan' and 'Alexandrian'-style foundational furniture (Pillars/Partitions/Windows/Doors), based on existing architecture like the For'ard Cabins and Solution 9's apartment complex.

I'm sure this has been brought up before but I'd like to chime in and request for housing exteriors be given the option of being made reversible/mirrored. My FC recently acquired a medium plot in The Mist (Plot 31, 5th Ward) with an outstanding view of the ocean on the west side of the estate. The east, side, however, directly faces the highest wall of the entire ward. Unfortunately for us, many housing exteriors have unique features on the left side (east side, in our case) of the exterior only. For instance, the Medium Cafe Walls feature the cafe on the left side. Likewise, the forge in the Medium Forge's Walls is on the left side. The hot tub in the Sukiya-zukuri House Walls is on the left side, and the garden shed on the Country House Walls is also on the left. An easy solution to this would simply be to make the exteriors reversible upon request, as it would have no impact on the placement of the house within the plot. I'm sure my FC's particular plot would not be the only plot to benefit from this improvement, and it would also add visual variety to housing wards.

This should have been our first sign they did not care, just the simple that that they made houses that require specific directions for things to be placed and no way to actually do that.

I would love to have glamour mirror item for Housing.

They really should have mirroring, for this and other things, like character hairstyles and such!

But if this is somehow “too much” to do for housing, maybe they could do something similar to what they did for Island Sanctuary buildings: allow you to rotate your house within its boundaries so the front could face any of the 4 sides of the plot. I love that the Country skin has such a cute back porch, but I feel bad for those who have a big wall behind it.

Tacking onto that, it would also be nice if you could move your house to any point on the plot and align your door directly to your garden gate. Maybe some people would prefer to have a backyard instead of a front yard, so they move their house forward or shift it left or right (if there's enough space to do that).
