Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Knahli]

I'd like for a feature that would allow us to create sets of furniture. IE take a table and chairs and group them into one object that can be moved/used as a group but only takes up 1 slot. I wouldn't even care if this was a permanent grouping either. That would allow us to use all these creative ideas that use 10+ items without blowing out the item budget.

That sounds really nice but incredibly unlikely, as least as far as saving slots goes. Still, I'll give it a like and hope I am merely naive, haha.

I want to be able to place the same type of bathtub more than once. What a bizarre restriction!

The premade sets are 1 item because it's prerendered together. The ability to lock items into groups and move them together would be nice, but each part would still count towards the limit to keep from overloading anyone on minimum requirements. Beyond that, who wouldn't just make everything in their house 1 item over and over again?

While I standby my previous comment of it not seeming to me like it would do anything but help things server-side, I imagine they could easily impose set limits such as restricting certain furniture, proximity and the amount of groups that can be created. Freeing up slots aside, I can see it being helpful at least for the sake of moving things more easily without having to adjust each piece manually.

Oh, I just remembered a rather impossible request of my own. Housing Decoration Save/Themes slots so that you can easily restore a home's decorations and placement to their saved positions when adjusting for events or simply when wanting to experiment with new things without having to commit to losing very carefully placed items if you choose to revert back at any point. Though if it's something that could be saved locally then perhaps it might be within the realm of possibility.

I think I recommended that somewhere in the past. Someone likely did before me. I don't think anyone's managed to dig through this entire thread, it'd be quite a read! Client side storage of it could be possible though so as not to consume server space. You just have something in game to read the furniture positioning being fed from the file and it can use furniture inside your inventory and possibly retainers (cause we're going to be able to use a lot more furniture soon). No server space being taken up by the placement data so no "too much data" excuses.

Don't know if this was mentioned, but the actual ability to sit, lay, 'wash', 'soak', etc. on furniture would be welcome. Having furniture as just window dressing might be all well and good for main playing areas, but in housing ALL 'useable' furniture, SHOULD be useable in reality. We're 'paying' for the furniture, being able to 'use' it seems to be only logical.

Was looking up outdoor furniture again today and realized we don't have any simple table/bench sets like you'd see at parks or some outdoor restaurant areas. I'd like to see some simple rectangular table/bench sets (one piece of furniture with a bench on each side of the table). Dyable preferred and then maybe some variants such as an extra long version, rustic version and/or sleek modern version with dark metal poles for the legs (that go straight into the ground, no stone pads underneath).

Could we have some sort of wash stand with a pitcher and a basin, or even just a pitcher and a basin? Also, what about a floor mirror? The mirror itself could be covered so that programming reflections is not an issue.

Not sure if I requested this before, but can we get the ghost Edda that can blink (as in appear and disappear) like the one in town?

[Theodric]

Can we please get a portrait of Regula Van Hydrus?

[Mimilu]

Can we get some floor-to-ceiling shelves/cubbies like the Mounted Bookcase (preferably actually usable selves)?
Also, more plants and planters, please. I would love some planters like the outdoor ones we currently have, like the Planter Box and Large Planter Box.
Also-also, please make more items dyeable, please. >w>
