Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Kytrin]

- Arcane circles / runes to place on the floors and walls
- More spooky & magical artifacts & items (crystal balls, cauldrons, etc)
- More open books / general desk clutter (a set of tarot cards spread out)

I would like to see them do other things first... slot increase, wall painting, pillar move/removal... but once they finished that I would like to see more of this kind of thing. It would be fun to decorate the house spooky for Halloween, and tabletop items really make a place look lived in.

So by all means request those things in this thread!

I request all sorts of items I'd like to see pretty frequently.

General clutter yes please. So many spots in-game have a cup here, a jar there, a plate or a spoon or a book or a knick-knack. It would be a pain in the rear given the item limits but I'd love to have more of those options! The wine glasses were a good start, don't stop there.

While rearranging my toy shelves, it occurred to me that I'd like taller open shelving. I'm using Oasis Open-shelf Bookcases, and I can't put most of my boss miniatures on the lower shelves due to clipping. Anything taller than Ultima Weapon starts poking through and it looks bad.

Also, I'd love to be able to put stuffed toys on my bed. I can clip footstools through it to fake it, but that's an extra slot taken away from something else.

You can easily float a stuffed toy onto a bed or sofa. Since those are tabletop items just put one on a riviera shelf attached to a partition and drag it over to your bed. Position as desired then turn off counter placement. Move your item around a little before releasing it to break the link and the pull the shelf and partition back out. Voila! Plushie on the bed!

Can you guys please fix your Snap-to-Grid feature?
Items don't seem to snap to the same grid. You can have multiples of the same items set with snap to grid, facing the same way, and some of them will not set straight, shifting closer to one side or shifting forwards-or-backwards.
This is really annoying when you are trying to set furniture up systematically (for example, I'm trying to make a floating loft with pillows as the floor or if you are trying to make a theater).

Would be kind of cool to be able to see the grid.

I really would like to be able to put retainers inside the house like we do outside or let us have npcs (menders, junk mongers, etc) that we can adjust to our tastes like we do with retainers. Or both options would be cool too.

Some things I would like to see after decorating houses for the interior design contest — if they’ve already been mentioned previously, then I apologize... but take another posting of them as proof that they are relatively desired:

— An actual loft housing item: everyone glitches the Troupe Stage, but I would like an actual loft item that doesn’t require a glitch. Built-in stairs to it would be a bonus.
— A “rug” of floor tiles: when designing an elaborate master bath in my bondmate’s house, I found myself wishing there were “rugs” of floor tiles for a walk-in shower. In addition to this, I’d like to see more wall options for wall tiling, similar to the brick wall recently added. Or at least make the brick wall dyeable so we can dye it white or black for a make-shift tile look.
— Dyeable White Interior Wall: please, so I can have a color different from white without having to take up item slots for Blank Partitions.
— Blank Partition with Door: the addition of more partitions with doors was nice, but some still don’t fit some of the looks I had in mind, and the Oriental Partition / Paper Partition are still very Eastern aesthetic, and do not always go with more modern, western aesthetics. I’d like a door on the Blank Partition. I know that it would probably have to be a static color to allow the Blank Partition to dye differently from it, so maybe two options to start — a black door and a white door — with colors more added in the future.
— Conversion Of Interactive Items to Static Items: I’m never going to actually “eat” the food I sit out on my tables, so I would like to change them to Static Items so that I can have more picture frames and flower pots without items randomly disappearing all the time. Having to design around that limitation is annoying, because I don’t want my furnishing disappearing on a whim, but then I have to sacrifice design ideas.
— Allowing windows to sit on the partitions: so I don’t have to glitch them every time. Please.
— More modern double beds: I love the feather bed, but it’s so small, so you almost have to build a frame around it in a spacious bedroom to not make it seem so puny. The other double beds are too gaudy for my tastes, or they cannot go well with a simple, modern design. I’d love to see something like a “simple 4-poster bed” to give a bedroom a larger bed, but one that isn’t hard to work with in a neutral or black&white color scheme.
— More item slots: I was happy with the increase, but all the little knickknacks and new furnishing items being added, coupled with lack of customization for walls and/or lack of options in certain categories, I’m squeezing my item limits to death again. Maybe this is only a problem with me, because I like adding in a lot of the smaller items to give homes a more lived-in or homey feel to them, but it’s sad when I have to sacrifice some of the more minute details because of lack of space. :c

Trust me, you are NOT the only one. I would desperately love to see more item slots. I love all the detail we can add, but it's gotten to the point where you can either have a ton of detail and block off parts of your house, or you can spread it out and hope you get an acceptable level of detail for the whole space.
