Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Limonia]

I would love to have the purple wallpaper that is used in Hancock's room in the Ruby Bazaar. And the ones with the cute flowers from the Shirogane apartments lobby. They even exist already, so it shouldn't be too hard to implement them.

A lab set, please? Science is happening!

I think it would be awesome if these two items could be added as furniture (from the botanists' guild). Would suit well in a flower themed home!

Give Small, Medium & Large housing more/ Higher item decoration limits!
Small housing capped at 200 is still too limited.
Medium at 300 is also limited
Large at 400 is also, very limited.

Increase the item limit to an extra 100 for the housing.


Make rounded Doors
Make marble styled partitions we can apply wallpaper to
Make door partitions with more than 1 dye channel and able to apply wall-paper
Make bay windows
Allow us to adjust the lighting PER room
Make Terrariums, not just aquariums
Give us Hanging lamps that hang from the ceiling we can place ourselves independently & individually
Weapon Racks
Larger item decoration limited increased significantly for each house
An option to have a MSQ NPC in our house- such as Thancred, Y'shtola, Emett-Selch, Exarch, Aymeric, etc
Floral Curtains
Tudor Styled plastor & wooden walls
Dyeable Brick- SERIOUSLY, SE; BRICK COMES IN MORE THAN JUST RED.
Dyeable wooden partitions. Wood comes in more than just brown when treated.
Pre-made Toilet/ Latrine.
Arch/ Rounded windows that don't have indoor shutters
Bar shelves premade with drinks on them
Retro Jukebox styled Orchestrion
The ability to automatically raise or lower items without having to glitch them- like an arrow placement system - I'm half asleep & can't think of it

If the item limit is not going to change, then I propose:
Lighting decor should not count as an item limit.
Window decor should not count as an item limit.
Partitions should not count as an item limit.

I was thinking there should be an Indoor traning dummy so that we cna use combat animations inside houses (for gpose)

We have a map of Eorzea you can put on your wall.

We have a table with a map of Eorzea on it.

I want just the map, by itself, as a tabletop item. I wanted to build something of a strategic command but rather put the map on a more imposing-looking table.

i would love to have a private glamourdresser for private housing/FC usage.
also i would love the armoire to be able to hold antiqueted gear. because at the moment there isnt really alot it can hold. some swimclothing for the moment. but wouldnt it make more sence to hold antiqueted gear u get from doing your class quest at 50-60-70-80?
doing that would make it easier to manage gear. preferable to hold gear for glamour challanges as well xD its a bright mess in my retainers.

also i had the idea of a weapon display. tho its kinda hard to realize this for some classes. wallmounted swords/axes/shields should be possible. this to be able to show off your hard earned weapons, wether its a relic weapon or ultima weapon.
to elaborate, this could be like a vitrine display, in different sizes small, medium or large. depending on the scale of the weapon. kinda the fishtanks. but then more glass. ofcourse relic/ultima weapons should be displayed in combat status/draw weapon.

and im pretty sure this must have been mentioned before more items for garden. 20 is rather limited. i couldnt use 10 items i wouldve loved in my garden atm.

Please increase the number of summoning bells we can have for houses and mansions.

I am not sure if data is the issue here; there's actually already places in-game where more than one summoning bell are near each other, like Limsa, which can have a hundred some players, several NPCs, and objects, all in one zone, so I can't imagine this is a problem of the game being unable to handle more than one summoning bell being used at once. As far as I know it's just an object that invokes the script allowing interaction with player retainers as opposed to being some kind of data bottleneck so it should be fine.

I saw this in another thread and I cant recall who suggested it, so my apologies for not giving proper credit, but since this is a housing suggestion thread here goes: institute a "lottery" system so that people can pay their deposit on an empty lot and go about their business rather than deal with the endless clicking to try to get a plot...after 24 hours, one person gets mogmail saying they've won and gets the house and the rest get their gil back by the same means. 10 people want the same small plot, rather than all 10 sitting there clicking, each pays their 3.5 Mil and goes on to have fun for the day. I think this would be a method that would not use up too many resources for the dev team and it would help ease tensions about getting a house. I understand they probably wont do much, if anything, about the housing issues on NA datacenters until the big patch, but it's out there as food for thought.

To the previous poster, the problem with that method that gets pointed out so often is instead of just 10 people showing up and clicking away, imagine several hundred to several thousand people just deciding hey I'll buy a ticket. The chance that those 10 people have no drastically decreases. I know none of the solutions that get proposed are perfect, I'm just hoping that "something" gets done, and that "something" isn't just another band-aid on a severed limb sliding down into a wood chipper like it has been.
