Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Enkidoh]

I would love to have more Ancient/Unsundered World-style furnishings and interior fittings - the Amaurot Wall Lamp, Ancient Lamp, Etheirys Globe and Akademia Prospectuses are a start (and much appreciated), but more items from the Ancient world would so welcome!

Some examples I'd love to see added are the tables and chairs from Elpis, the crystal wall clock inside the Watcher's Palace, and maybe even Amaurot and Elpis style wallpapers and floorings, including those fancy rugs seen inside the buildings in Elpis.

Suggestion / Request: Mirror Flip exterior walls. The Patio would work a lot better on the opposite side of the house depending on plot location.

Please consider the following SE ♥

** please increase all home sizes item limits interior and exterior at least 4x.** intricate and detailed decorating = using less then a third of ANY size home currently.**

1) "blank" rugs -(4x the size of combed rug please)
-we can use any of the current flooring, They would work same as the current "blank"
partitions for wallpapers)

2) Spinning disco ball either wall mount or a very tall statue, complete with the spinning and reflective lights on floor and surrounding ceiling/walls.

3) Full size Glass Partition (no trims!) The quality of the showcase glass is beautiful, I would love to have a full sized solid glass partition , no trims so we can hide edges easily)

4)Mannequins should mimic the exact facial and hair features of the retainer it copies.
I realize these are mannequins but the detail could certainly be added... high end mannequins (lol)

5) Lingering effects objects. Please consider developing an item that when placed becomes invisible BUT leaves a lingering "effect" ie? sparkles, lightning, floating leaves, simple glows of various colors etc, dripping water....
we had those in Rift and were extremely handy to achieve atmosphere.

6 Please try to allow different lighting settings /floor. I know it was shot down already but maybe they can add an additional ui just for that , an override type thing??

7) addition of Z-axis would be a huge step in the right direction please.

Thank you ♥

Those are all great Ideas take my like.

Cottage items
Fantasy related items
Houses with ivy and overgrowth on walls
cracked walls
stone pillars
round doors
round wooden bath
Lalafell sized items
Z axis placement
Increased item placement limit and storage for interior items (200 items is not enough for a small house)
Different music per floor/ different lighting per floor
Autumn and Snow Scenery/ screen without the giant border (it gets in the way of placement)
Forest scenery with falling leaves
Oval and round windows



Wall texture for reference- please if this is ever considered and added, let us change the color of the wall too. but I really like the distressed texture of the wall and the wooden window

I would like partitions to not be so thick...it's fine in med and larges but you lose so much space in a small.
remove those dumb pillars that stick out from the wall, you again lose so much space covering them.
remove the pre set lights or have the ability to move them somewhere else

- One story houses that have a placement item limit the same as a medium house.
- An upstairs rather than a down stairs
- Walls with archways of different material- right now only marble is the only archway
- Clawfoot bathtubs, round bathtubs
- cloth canopies over beds
- wall mirrors
- more baroque inspired interior and items
- the ability to remove a chandelier entirely
- remove all beams, windows, and pillars to have a blank room.
- fluffier beds
-standing lamps
- easier way to lower and raise items without having to use tricks
- cracked plaster interior walls for an old rustic feel
- translucent decorative curtains
- thavnairian themed houses and interior
- thavnairian themed items and wallpapers
- geisha and maiko themed items for karyukai rpers
- able to accept story NPCS as visitors, Thancred or Tataru stopping by to check on you and see your house would be so cute!!
- mermaid and ocean themed items
- armor display of our currently equipped armor set

I'm new to housing design & have been running into nothing but frustration. Many things require finicky glitches & too much frustration for players. I'm not expecting "The Sims" -- just make thing easier on us!

• Lofts & stages: PLEASE let us put all furnishings on top of lofts & stages. I get that it's difficult to code lofts as both "floor" & "table", so why not code all furniture as "tabletop" instead?
  
• Let us remove the default pillars, ceiling beams, & windows in a room. Give us toggles for "flat/ceilings" & "no default windows". Better yet, make flat walls/ceilings the default. This option alone will free up item space: almost every designer uses too many partitions/panels to hide default pillars/windows. You'll end a lot of demands for increased housing-item allowance with this one change alone!
  
• Imitation Windows: Allow these to be placed on partitions.
  
• Fireplaces/Stoves/Masonwork Stove: code these as "tables/partitions" & let us place wall-mounted & tabletop items on them. Why does the Masonwork Stove have that tempting mantle, if we can't put anything onto it?
  
• Hit-boxes: almost all the Imitation Windows have nonsensical hit-boxes. This makes targeting other items difficult, if not impossible. There is no reason why imitation windows (Imitation Stained Crystal Ornament, especially!) need huge hit-boxes - I'll have nothing in my field of view BUT a needed item, yet all my mouse will target is the single Imitation Stained Crystal Ornament on the other side of the room.
  
• Imitation Stained Crystal Ornaments: reduce its hit-box, PLEASE. The moment I place a single one of these, it takes over the whole room & makes targeting anything else near-impossible.
  
• Let us remove the default pillars, ceiling beams, & windows in a room.
  
• Add Tier 5/6 (larger) Aquariums. I feel sorry for all the T4 fish that are stuck in one position for the rest of their lives.
  
• Allow every catchable fish to be placed in aquariums. That gives Fishers a viable market & adds much-needed usefulness to that job. Too many fish are flat-out useless, good only to desynth (for yet more Fine Sand). We want to see those purple octopuses & monster squids in all their glory!
  
• Let us remove the default pillars, ceiling beams, & windows in a room.
  
• Spiral staircases. Usable Ladders.
  
• Godzilla/Gojira. I'm surprised that we don't have Gojira as a catchable "fish" already.
  
• Add "tabletop" coding to all the Housing NPCs. Why make Namazus & Lalafels as Housing NPCs if they can't even be seen over a basic counter?
  
• Let us remove the default pillars, ceiling beams, & windows in a room. Please.
  

I know it was a year ago, but I am going to piggyback off literally EVERYTHING in this comment. Please and thank you, SE.

This lovely smol telescope from ARR as housing item, please.
Perfect addition to any Sharlayan flavoured nerdy interior.

[HeyMcFly]

Lalafell Sized furniture and a Lalafell house with a small door (but can be used by anyone)
The Lalafell furniture would be smaller to fit for Lala's but should be something that doesn't make the item useless to other players of different races

The Lala house interior would be the same size as the other houses but the door design would just be.. well small. And the windows would be lower
Lalafell sized counters/ bathtubs/ beds/ shelves/
Add hanging lights and please just take all of the great ideas ppl have requested for adding an X, Y , Z placement Axis. I want to be able to sink and float and merge items into walls without having to glitch items which can be very frustrating


Please remove the ugly border from Phasmascape scenes. They often get in the way of designs and please remove the Digital VCR screen lines. There's no reason for it to look fake imo Or introduce new types of moving scenery that look more realistic instead of a digital screen

Beach/ Ocean Scenery
