Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

Absolutely agree that purchasing a plot is way too difficult.
For a more fun suggestion (that's probably already come up), a way to have a minion in your home would be a lot of fun. Maybe have an interactive "pet bed" that you can assign one of your minions to. That minion would then be summoned in your house and treat the "pet bed" like the player-- wandering around it, doing it's animations. Just a fun way to do more with a minion, I think

A minion play pen for your yard would also be a lot of fun

Oh, also interactable exercise equipment, yoga mats, and indoor targeting dummies so I can make a gym in my house or apartment.

More item placement slots for Small, Medium & Large houses. Houses still feel really empty if you tried to maximize their space- each housing type needs 100 more items allowed to be placed.

Arched doorways with doors
Dyeable Brick- brick comes in more than just red
Lights, Windows, NPCs shouldn't count as furniture
dyeable Brick, wood & stone partitions
Bay windows
More variety NPCs- I'd like to see the ability to place your favorite Scion for example, standing in their idle pose ex: thancred crossing his arms standing wherever you place him
Outside partition that changes scenery based on time of day/ season or varied partitions based on the weather & season you want; ex: rainy partition looking out to a meadow or forest or an ocean/ beach
Dye partitions as well as doors, not just dye-able doors
Toilets
Vanity with mirror & stool
Trees not in planters- ex: giant oak sprouting through the floor
Long, hanging Ivy
Forest themed decor
Amarout themed decor
Mermaid themed decor
Cottage themed decor

We shouldn't have to use one of our housing slots for an aetheryte. Especially when every slot for outdoor furniture is so incredibly precious. Please just make teleportation a free feature of owning a house. I'd still gladly pay to have it... Just don't make me put it on my property.

WINDOWS.
ON.
PARTITIONS.

(also paintings above the fireplace mantle, etc. Basically fix item placement so we don't have to glitch items to place them in places we should rightfully be able to place them)

Z axis for all furniture
allow all furniture in lofts
Dieable all existing floors and walls textures
Floors and walls that exist already in NPC houses or dungeons/trials available to PC.
Indoor small fountains made of stone
Bathtub with rose petals and small candles
Statues for indoor decor you have plenty of statues models inside the dungeons I can take some screenshots as example if it helps.

I'd like if the orchestrion UI was rebuilt from the ground up, ideally by someone who has used basically any software that plays music. It's really clunky, not as intuitive as it could be, and doesn't make an efficient use of space. People who have been playing the game longer than I still make mistakes like thinking a song selected would play, but they close it and it stops. Of course as a venue owner and all that I can get what I want out of it easily, but that doesn't mean it's okay, just because you know it's strange quirks or what hoops to jump through.

In addition to cleaner, more efficient, more logical UI, I'd also like if we could have longer playlists, and a way to save multiple playlists client side. I'd like to be able to save different playlists and swap them out for different events, without having to reassemble them each time.

Has SE ever been known to take ideas from this thread?

Either way, I'd like a QoL Outdoor Furnishing item that gives you a 3 second buff when you activate it. Once the buff wears off, it'd refresh all your Weapon-skills, Spells, and Abilities. The purpose of this Furnishing item is obviously to practice certain parts of a rotation or opener without needing to wait if you ever mess up. I usually spend an awkward 30 - 120 seconds just looking at my Training Dummy waiting for my skills to reset so I can practice weaving certain abilities between Weapon-skills or Spells.

I feel this Furnishing item will eliminate those awkward moments and be an improvement for players who feel like trying to better themselves. It'd probably be in the form of an Eorzean energy drink or maybe even a plain old bottle of water? It would be helpful if we could add this interactable item near Training Dummies in combat zones as well, such as Middle La Noscea's Summer Ford Farms. It'd be right next to Training Dummies while being far enough away from enemy mobs to avoid abusing the buff somehow. Even though those mobs are like level 1 and no one really needs to abuse a buff to beat them.

Yoshida man, you made a pizza oven with a pizza on it but where are the tabletop pizzas?! That I can keep inside my house, where I have tables and chairs?!

I need my pizzas, whole or in pieces. Please. I can't keep them just outside, it's gonna rain
