Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Nalien]

Please reconsider the "center" of certain pieces of furniture. Off the top of my head, the Steppe Kitchen and Morning Glory Plot are particularly bad, the center on those is such that they can't be placed with their backs remotely close to a wall. The Morning Glory Plot specifically seems designed to sit against a wall, but because of how it's worked you cannot...

Alternatively, just do away with this limitation? Let us place things as close to walls/in walls as we want. Perhaps something like a "Snap to wall" feature could allow this? An option that makes the furniture you want to place get right up against the wall.

A snap to wall feature would be amaaaaaaaaaaaazing. It's a real pain having to store room glitch things closer to walls.

I would personally enjoy the ability to place food items as outside items and have the ability to garden flowers in the outdoor beds, please. A rose garden would be a delightful addition.

Going off that, I admit I would really like to see more flower beds in general. Not just stand alone bushes or flower planters, but entire beds of something I can use to line walkways or put around my house. Like a 2x5 bed of tulips or something. I wouldn't mind actual hedges of various kinds either.

There's a couple of winners from the design contest that head in that direction, which is good, but something a bit more substantial wouldn't hurt my feelings.

Absolutely! Greenery and color really make houses pop and feel cozy.

A Black Marble set.

Based off the black marble flooring next to Lord Vauthry's vista at his private chambers. Also, the Starlight pillar without the holiday wrappings or wreathe. Just plain. And walls to match like the Eulmoran walls.

A bonus would be white marble, but white/gold. This could introduce black marble of some sort as a crafting material and new item to be gathered on the same level as normal Marble. But like Silver, Hard Silver and Silvergrace, it could be a separate class of marble for these housing items and other recipes.

Technically we already do (although the 'Marble' tiling isn't quite the same as the flooring in Eulmore, it's fairly close enough).

Walls to go with both would be good though.

Ah, true. But yes I meant specifically the Eulmore style. It's very clean, and we have so few just plain textures like Gold Leaf and the Eulmoran walls. In fact I'd be really happy if they just photoshopped those textures to be in all primary and secondary colors + black/white. The only other option being just dyable.

- Allow more furniture to be placed on lofts

-Allow Loft stairs to be rotated without being clipped on too a wall or partian.

-A option too have the wall running along the stairs in small homes extend too the end of the stairs.

- Allow multiple pieces of furniture to be previewed all at once.

-Option to remove indoor windows

-Option to unlock the camera from our characters and lock it on too the furniture piece we are moving. So viewing the placement of furniture is easier.

-Doors that can be put in the doorways instead of using partians with doors..

A list that I've been working on. These are not so much specific furnitures, but more functions that I would like see added to the housing system.

• Increase item allotment to the following at minimum: apartments 200, small 300, medium 500, large 700
• Option to change indoor fixtures(windows, ceiling decoration, wall pillars/trim) to any of the 4 types(Oasis, Riviera, Glade, Hingan)
• Option to remove indoor fixtures(ceiling decorations, wall pillars/trim) and move/remove individual windows
• Removing the wall pillars/trim should give a completely flat wall to place furniture flat up against
• Partitions and walls in same material/decoration(e.g. marble wall + partition with or without the decorative fixture, log cabin walls to match the partition)
• Door/arch version of all partitions.
• Open and half versions of all partitions
• Steps, loft and beam versions to all partition materials
• Dye-able walls, ceiling and floors
• Partitions to be dyed in different colors on the two sides( e.g. using one partition as a wall between two rooms, have different color in each room)
• Move/remove ceiling lights
• Change-able ceiling for the top floor: Flat, pointed, curved, vaulted. With or without wooden beams
• Different materials for the ceiling: Wood, stone, marble, stained glass(change color/pattern) or mosaic(change color/pattern)
• Different floor layouts (E.g. a medium that is thin but deep(90 degree turn from current), a large where ground and top floor is one giant room)
• Option when placing light sources for low, medium, high brightness
• Change light settings on individual floors
• Allow for free-floating furniture without having to glitch them into place(similar to rotate, new option to adjust height placement)
• Free-camera in build mode
• Allow FC members to buy as many private FC rooms as they want
• Change the ground of outdoor garden: Grass, sand, gravel, snow
• Add wall and floor to preview
• Place more than one item in preview
• Mirror option for furniture
• Modular furniture parts that snap together such as sofa sections you can place to make I, L or U shapes. Or mix and match bottom and tops of cabinets
• Wall, partition and floor items with simple pattern should have the option to change size/length with the bigger size repeating the pattern of the item instead of stretching it(e.g. red carpet, bathroom tiles, outdoor gravel, loft/stairs/beam, combed wool rug, brick interior wall, flooring mat, all non-door/arch partitions)
• Outdoor animal pen, place livestock(E.g. sheep or dodo), gives daily products like fleece, milk, feathers, eggs. Can also remove the animal to get skin and meat
• New mannequin type where you glamour gear onto it with no job restrictions(when glamouring you keep the gear in your inventory and it doesn't take up slots in your marketboard menu)
• Weapon drawn pose and weapon drawn idle pose for mannequins(with visual glow from such weapons)
• House placement save, a function that saves the type and placement of all items in the house, when used will return the house to that setup as long as all required furniture are in the storage or already placed. Should be able to save several setups. Preferably on individual floors
• Address slip, an item that can be given to other players. Functions like estate teleportation to a friend's house. Useful for FC organizing events such as a stage play or contest for everyone at their FC house
• Furniture emote point: When interacting with this furtinure point your PC will enter an idle emote state based on the furniture (e.g. making food at a kitchen table, sit/stand at a fireplace to warm yourself, remove weeds from a garden, read a book from a bookshelf)
