Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[LordSunny]

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!

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....

Highland Beams (to match pillars)

Tomra/ Dwarf house items- beds & tables

Ceiling windows- Ceiling vents with light coming through
Glass Ceilings
Found a ceiling window here & there are plenty of greenhouse style windows in other buildings

I have a really novel idea.

Remove placement restrictions on all furnishings and allow them to be moved freely by a z,y,x axis.

Definitely the first to come up with this idea.

While I’m happy with the variety of exterior house styles we have in this game, there’s still some that I would really like to see available as options.

In particular, I've always wanted to have the option to make a fairy tale-esque castle like for example, the Neuschwanstein Castle:


or the Bojnice Castle:

This is a very minor thing, but I'd like some of the furnishings that are currently only available via Company Credits to, well, be available through other means. Make them resellable on the MB at least, my WoL would love a copy of the Antecedent but I'm not going to form my own FC to get it.
