Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[KariVixen]

Right now you buy a plot of land, and then have to fork over another 450k to "build" your house instantly. Thing is though, I would much rather "build" my house myself. (it's a guy thing maybe, but I would take incredible satisfaction in living in something I built myself)

I love this, and yet this idea makes me a bit wary. An option to build our own house would be great, but not all of us are into putting in the craft and gather grind. If we have to pay crafters and gatherers to help us build one I can see housing quickly becoming unaffordable. I love the idea of those who have put in all that time and effort to be able to enjoy the process of creating & showing it off in an obvious way though! Maybe it could also be implemented as an Option to build it yourself, or to have custom "add-on" options players can make and sell to customize a base house?

Housing glamours and craftable parts are as close as that will ever get.

-this was in response to a post on pg 126 about idle roaming.

I can see myself letting it go into AFK mode just to watch it happen and meet more people. Maybe even a mode that allows the characters to enter that mode while still being able to actively chat without disabling it too.

I really, really, REALLY want Japanese maple trees! They are my fav IRL, but if they do I hope they change color with season or something too for sure.

3.4 should make you happy then.

I've seen others suggest ground texture options for housing, lusher grass, lava rock etc. I just had another thought along that line so I wanted to add it--fallen leaves. It could be possibly versatile for different yard themes. A big huge color changing maple as tall as the house would be lovely too, especially if we can jump on/climb branches. FC members tend to enjoy jumping around and we occasionally make a sort of obstacle course to gain access to the balcony.

O.O we get Japanese maple trees in the patch?? I didn't see anything about it in the notes!!

Might want to scroll down to "New furnishings have been added" for the preliminary patch notes.

yes I just finished going through the latest notes after Alice's post \o/ there are a few things I was hoping for being released!

Can we please get the "tabletop yes/no" toggle for NPCs?
It is really annoying that they have to stay connected to the ground. Lalas should be able to stand on lala stairs,
we should be able to put them on the new stages we get in this patch,
and just in general players work so hard to create interesting and cool furniture combinations (like entire extra floors!) and the NPCs can't stand on any of them..kind of frustrating :x

I think having more designs for beds is a definite yes.

And, balconies too...
