Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[HeyMcFly]

Or just add an attic… the housing skins already make it look like it’s there on the outside! Could be another 3x3 grid floor and make smalls more attractive to all the buyers who want a medium or large for the extra floor. Of course it goes without saying that we’re due for an item limit increase too: an extra 100 indoor/10 outdoor for all plot sizes would be a nice modest increase to start!

I'm with you & support this

Make this happen SE PLEASE

They need to make the GMs go on visual housing inspections and demolish bot or sub farming houses, these houses with zero outside furniture other than a teleport beacon owned by 1 man FCs are an eyesore and just take slots from real people.

Based suggestion. Too many players in this game go for a plot as a "check mark" or another thing for them to attain. Never even using, but simply having it, to have it.

Housing:

I would love the option to remove beams. I would also like if there was a new way of placing items on a ceiling like light fixtures so I can make false ceilings.
Item limit needs considerable increase. 100 for small, 250 for medium, 400 for large at least.
Outside limit increased as well and a way to craft larger plots of grass by combining them. For example 4 x oriental grass plot to create Large oriental grass plot so it counts as 1 item instead of 4.

Less restrictive collision for placing items. The whole system should be replaced, it's super janky and frustrating.

Apartments:

I hope that expanding on apartments is revisited. I was most looking forward to this system because you can have a large place to build without worrying about losing your house to demolition. It is also far easier to browse and visit apartments than houses, it could be a wonderful addition.

Lots of great ideas in this thread. Especially OPs.

Enable housing on Island.

Unlock an area big enough for a "Small House" for like 5 mil and incrementally unlock the entire island in 5 mil increments (50 mil MAX) allowing more smalls, a medium and then a large. When done - you have the entire island you can place housing items on.

Future - maybe an XLarge and XXLarge building will be allowed. See SWTOR for its housing model on how they did squares for furniture (Use same for Building on Island).

Let us make alts into tenants of our house. Every single day I'm salty I missed out on the bug to add your alts as friends.

More item space for all house sizes

More wall partitions (glade, alpine, oasis etc) shapes & sizes (that way we can apply wallpaper to them)

L shaped walls for small and large corners of various lengths.
Slanted & curved partitions with & without windows

Non- marble Partitions with rounded doorways

More stages that are made of stone, old wood, marble & tile.

Lofts that have 'windows' on the underside of them for glass ceilings

More loft shapes & sizes- L shaped, curved & slanted.

More lofts of different materials- stone, marble, old wood, tile

Slanted railings

Alpine beams/ railings to match the pillars

I decided to give apartment another try and I barely have the layout structure and already used half of the item limit. This is with not adding a kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom area. I think 200 limit per small floor size minimum should be added. Wishful thinking but goodness I could use 500 slots ezpz in a FC house/apartment.

New homeowner, been very lucky in 6.x!

Absolutely love the Gold Saucer arcade cabinets for 300,000MGP. Some of those are my next goal.

My suggestion: I would love to see furnishings for my other favorite games at the Gold Saucer!

I love my Triple Triad sets. It would be so cool to also have a miniature Verminion machine! And a Chocobo Racing machine.

I don't understand the game myself, but I'm sure many would also enjoy a Mahjong table.

The mini Verminion machine could resemble a traditional stand-up arcade cabinet, or maybe a sitdown half-tabletop one. The Chocobo racing game could resemble a bike riding arcade game (think the bike arcade game from the original Gold Saucer in FF7), but with a wooden/patchwork Chocobo to ride. Mahjong could be a dedicated table, or a tabletop set like Triple Triad.

Interacting with any of these could simply open the Duty Finder at those minigames.

I realize this request is asking a lot already, but one more while I'm dreaming:

Perhaps you could play Verminion using the homeowner's minions and bar setup. And for racing, you could use their current racing Chocobo.

To go really wild, what if the homeowner could deposit a number of Racing Chocobo permits, allowing players to choose from among them before the start of the game?

Letting a player stock and modify the options of their games could have powerful (and I think very good) implications. The homeowner could create or adhere to any Verminion metagame they liked, and Chocobo Racing would gain a unique "choose your character!" flavor.

It would make sense to only match against other players inside that house, or AI bots. I imagine you would need 1 machine for each player that wishes join.

Not only would this allow for new metagames to be created by players, it would also afford other players unique opportunities - say, to see for themselves what a top-tier Racing Chocobo is like, even if they haven't given Chocobo racing much of a chance.
