Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Nalien]

Not an idea, but a question;

Does anyone else find that benches do not work when under the new cherry tree? I'll either be force to the end of the bench not under the tree, or sit on the bench as if it was the ground...

OK disregard that, seem to have fixed the issue (think they were too close to the wall? not really sure, ruled out the tree though). Request time;

Can we have more dynamic effects on outdoor furniture? The valentines day furniture and now the cherry tree both produce effects. Not a fan of the valentines day one, but the cherry tree makes my garden feel more "alive". Fish in ponds (and bigger ponds) has been asked to death, but I'd quite like to see insects and birds occasionally visit...

Thinking about it, pets for houses were mentioned in the past no? I know that was in the context of having minions walk around, but what about special furniture which comes with its own "minion"? A small beehive furniture which has a little bee swarm fly around your garden? A bird bath with a copy of the Bluebird minion to fly around? Dog house shouldn't need explaining. Would be much more controlled than "Your minions wander around your house" so hopefully easier to implement...

I really want a bird bath furnishing now either way... Having birds actually visit it would be a massive plus though.

Oh, thinking about the cherry tree... Only improvement I'd make to it is adding some of the blossoms to the ground as part of the furniture, since it is perpetually shedding them. But that gave me a completely separate idea; Pile of Leaves! Would be a great autumnal piece of furniture, and nothing says fire hazard quite like an open camp fire next to some freshly raked leaves! Big enough so Lalafell can hide in it, please.
