The unofficial Housing Guide

[Borland]

Construction permit for a medium house is 1 million.

Also when moving furniture in the house you can activate this little button that does "snap to grid" or something like that, which makes furniture move or rotate along set distances to help it look even and neat when you're doing stuff like messing about with partitions.

PS3 players can rotate the furniture etc but can't find any controls for the pc. Do you know where to find them?

There's actually a button at the bottom for moving, rotating or putting furniture away in the UI for the PC. Click Rotate and then the item to rotate it.
The only thing that bothers me is that as PC user we have to put the item down before we can rotate it. But what if we just want to see what it looks like so we can sell it if we don't like it? Stupid binding...

I dont quiet understand the permit part. From what i understand I need to have money to be able to build the house after purchase the plot and once I buy the house and want to change it let's say small, it will cost me another 450k ? and I will lose the roof part ? and the wall I put inside ?

Well for example. You purchase a small lot for _____, before you can build on that lot you must first purchase a construction permit which is 450k for small. Which ever you pick it'll automatically give you that style of house's roof and exterior wall. After which you can change both the roof and wall to what ever you like but you'll lose the original roof/wall. For example: if you pick stone, you'll automatically get a stone roof and stone wall. If you decide to use a composite wall you'll lose the stone wall. But you don't need to buy a new construction permit.

I have a Crystal Tower statue which is in my key items bag. Not sure how to place it, if I can.

a quick warning about changing your walls to that of a different area. you'll have some issues trying to match any partitions completely as switching to oasis walls will not change the bottom portion to oasis style frames.

Construction permits for large houses are 3 milllion gil.

Finally raised that gil to build a house? Raise another half-mil (or more) so you can actually build it!

Seriously, wtf...

And this is why I think that for FCs that don't have like 50+ active members, should just get a small and call it.
