Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Kemeko]

I'd like to see improvements upon the system on a fundamental level while keeping resources in check.

1. Change the tag of "outdoor furnishing" to "indoor/outdoor furnishing". This will allow for better management of inventory, increase decoration combinations indoors, and allow gardening for those that couldn't afford a plot.

2. Add new layout presets that can be purchased for half the cost as if you had bought an equivalent plot. For example, you could buy the interior of a small (1.5m), medium (10m), large (25m) and they would naturally come with the storage increase already built in. If you relocate to another apartment or plot, you keep the upgrades you bought. Additional layouts can be bought for their respective prices, and you keep them unlocked if you decide to change the interior. Buying the plot would already have the base layout unlocked if you didn't have it already.

3. Apartments are the base size of an FC room. With new layouts, you can make presets beyond what is already in the game, like having a small with stairs leading upwards instead of downwards, making the room twice the size as a square or twice as long as a rectangle without the stairs, keeping the combined size the same as a small. You can do similar layouts for the medium and large versions.

4. These changes can also be applied to both plots and apartments, further enhancing ward usage, which would reduce the need to swap locations unless you prefer a closer marketboard, a different outside view, or just a bigger yard.

Greetings,

I would love an option to change the interior presets like the stairs, pillars and apartment door. I am thinking indoor house skins.
I also would like the option to remove pillars all together. And the choice between an open and a closed staircase.
And talking about skins, I would like some for outdoors as well for the grass in the garden that are season bound. For example with snow or without. With spring flowers. With autumn leaves.

Yes please!! We need this sooo bad

Please please please let us move items in the z axis... Glitching things up is absolutely insufferable. We got viera bunboys, more glamour space, more wards, I feel like this is next big feature to integrate...

A way to darken/lighten each floor individually would be a nice addition I think.

I'd like to see a kweh-kweh clock that actually chimes the hour....the current one is cute, but also mildly disappointing.

While I can completely understand the walls, doors, and roof being tied to a house along with being able disabling the use of being able to put in the other optional items upon the side of a house, I still wish that we can change out the fences on said walls. There are just some fences that I wish I could use in exchange for the one that is currently there. The Sukiya-zukuri house itself is absolutely gorgeous, however I despise the fence and the location of the house itself. It makes it so that the back of the house is completely cramped up, and the varying height of the fence makes it incredibly hard to decorate with and is incredibly linear.

With each new wall that I get, just realized how much I wish there was a way to change up at the fence line, and to be able to move exactly where my house is upon my own plot. While I do realize that the ability to move my house on my plot to exactly where I wish, and to be able to rotate it however I'd like might be a bit much to ask for, the least I wish is to be able to change up the fence on each of the walls. It honestly makes me long for the house customizability that we had previously with different parts and I do wish we got to see a lot more of it to really make each plot unique aside from the decorations that we can put down upon it.

tl;dr Let us play with the entire house outside, and let us at least change the fence of these new walls.

Legit, please let me move things anywhere. Apartments are so small but the worst part is not being able to sink things into the floor. ;n;

I'd like to see ingame a Fireplace/ Hearth with a small cauldron attached: Image of example below

The White Rectangular Partition is great but I would love to have more variations to choose from. A Glass Rectangular Partition to create Windows, or a Verdant Rectangular Partition for those spaces where only half will suffice and you don't wanna clip through the floor above or below.

Before they can move to a new plot they must give up there current plot and be on a lockout for a set amount of time (no purchasing any property no FC room or an apartment) before putting in for a new one. I just lost a plot to a person who is a known plot exploiter who just walked up to the plot put it in there gil and won the plot....this is depressing over the last 5 years to get a plot only to lose to a known exploiter...when is SE going to put something in place to stop this???
