Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

double the outside item limit and add swimming pools. 30 items max for my medium house outside is way to little.

They really need to add an outdoor patio to apartments giving players the option to use outdoor items they've earned. Technically it's possible since indoor housing takes place in an empty blank space, all that would be require is adding a panoramic lay right outside of the patio that would display a screenshot of the ward giving the illusion of being outside.

Remove the "outdoor furnishing" tag from at least some items. There are some lawn items that would be amazing to be able to use indoors. Retainers come to mind, as well as the Bismarck fountains, and some of the plants. There are a lot of people that can only access housing through apartments and FC rooms, so at least let them use the items from yards, since they aren't able to own one to decorate.

I would like to ask for the kites from the Moonfire Faire decorations!

I'd like to formalize the upgradable apartment units suggestion. Apartment units upgradable from the basic studio type, to a large 3 bedroom unit for a 40M fee (the price of a large house, no sense going through a medium size), both Studio and large apartments have corresponding balconies with panoramic views for some outdoor furnishings.

Also:

I suggest for the coming expansion, that the building area (the highlighted area on a vacant plot), would have "preset" adjustble* options, for the plot owner to select which direction their house is facing.

the same goes for the entrance gate which is adjustable to face a desired direction, consequently outside grounds details e.g. rocks, steps, trees, ditches in front of the gate adjusts to the directional setting chosen by the plot owner.

And on the side if possible have an option to construct a 3rd floor for cottages, since a lot of players are requesting increase the number of slots for items, the dimensions for the small plot would remain the same but with a 3rd floor.

Or:

Wild star instanced housing areas, with FFXIV housing architecture and furniture, and the player can select which view they like...middle of the uldahn desert, forrest scene in gridania, island in limsa lominsa, or kinda swallows compass mountains by the sea in kougane

Also hoping that by that time the design of apartment buildings will have more novelty and improved aesthetics to attract more residents.

Hmm, not that i'm opposed to any of this, just thinking out loud. First I'm not sure everyone can have a 3 bedroom apartments based on the current design and it might have to be something similar to wards, but how about this? Increase the height of the roof then have Small, Medium, and Large open floor plans and let players build the three bedroom apartment? All Apartments need to have an outdoor area too.

Oh, change the damn rules for Land ownership to One per Service Account regardless of when they purchased, yea it sucks for those purchased prior to 4.2 but needs of the many out weight the needs of you.

Change the rules for Free Companies as follows: A player can own one Free Company Estate and one Apartment. I use the word Apartment to prevent abuse of lone FC's having two houses. Another thought is to remove the 45 days demolition in lieu of adding property tax monthly to plots only. After three months of not paying taxes, player would lose the house. Also give the option for plays to sell back to either players or back to SE for the Minimum purchase price, again to prevent abuse.

Not opposed of loners FC have two houses since there is no FC leader fault if the other players leave and still you see in our server many FC recruiting because there are alot of recently joined players, when mean alot mean it.
Am opposed to one guy that owns 32 houses in the Mist that is way too much.
