Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[HeyMcFly]

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.

L shaped partitions for corners as well- long & short partitions (horizontal length)

I know this is a pipedream but it would be nice if past seasonal event furniture and interior items were added to the Recompense Officers in the city-states. (❁°͈▵°͈)
Back when they first came out, I use to own wallpaper like the Eerie Wallpaper and Starlight Interior Walls but back then removing wallpaper destroyed it. Your only way to prevent this was to buy a large amount of them (and none of them can stack, so they took up inventory/retainer space in a time before the devs increased player and retainer inventory space or Saddlebags were even a thing) and hope you don't get inspired to change your room's/home's look.
Not to mention food furnishings, that would get destroyed if you returned them to your inventory during a time when house-storage didn't exist.
I know a lot of the older event items are sellable on the marketboard, so to prevent this they could sell the Deluxe versions that are on the Mogstation to those who complete the event or add a third version of those items that isn't sellable. (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

I would like:
Blank partitions with an arch (for all housing types Glade, Mist etc)
Blank partions with doors (again for all housing types)
Blank half-partitions

Double width partitions in marble and blank for all housing types (would make panelling a room take far less slots)
Marble half partitions
Marble beams

A frosted glass partition that could be used to make patio doors, shower stalls etc (assuming realistic glass with reflections won't be possible)

This post is to address the fact that my alt won a plot and my main character can't get one or be added to the housing share list because their on the same account. I would like to put the suggestion out that we are able to have access to houses that alts win on all our character's.

Add an option that like the Island Sanctuary, the house guest access can be party members, friends, or FC only.

There are times where you don't want unfamiliar faces creeping into your house and it would be nice to be able to regulate that without having to lock the doors to everyone or limit it to 3 shared estate guests.

We need These lanterns
I'd like to see more colourful lanters in game to use

....just...throwing this idea out there....can we have a set of stairs for outdoor furnishing? ....been like...10 years, and i can find probably 15 + items with stairs on them for indoor use....but not a single one for outside.

Speaking of stairs. I saw a house skin, which i don't know the name of, that had a balcony (large house, not sure if other homes have that skin) can we request to have stairs go to the balcony and be able to actually use it!

[XiaoShengwu]

i'm curious if you're referring to a few of the housing skins for the large? i believe.
i'm not certain, but i think the ones i know of are:

Highland mansion wall (composite, stone, wood)
Hingan mansion wall (kura-zukuri, nanpu, mokuzo)
Oasis mansion wall (composite, stone, wood)
Riviera mansion wall (composite, stone, wood)
Glade mansion wall (composite, stone, wood)
Large cafe walls
Trader's mansion walls


And i agree fully. there really isn't any reason why we shouldn't be allowed, or able to get up to those balconys.

As we're really proud to manage to get a Mansion and starting to furniture and design our little place we call home, we've come onto quite a few issues and wanting to get some features added and maybe even removed from the entire housing system.
Even though Square Enix did a blood well job on the entirety of the Housing, there's still major room for improvements and finetuning!

I hope SE will read this and take these ideas and requests into consideration

Incredibly sad to see this post ignored since 2013... No hope for changes if SE doesn't listen to the community and improve their game to meet the global standard for MMOs....
