    Housing glamours are getting too "big".

    I used to have a scenic view of the environment from my house that, while nothing to write home about, was reasonably enjoyable. However, over time that view has become replaced by taller homes, homes with random pieces of flair sticking off of it, or a combination of the two.

    These are the housing glamours - the Mogwall, Carbuncle, Paissa, etc. homes. These houses all exceed the normal dimensions of standard homes. For example, the "Microscopically Small Mogwall" is anything but, turning a small house into a three story monstrosity that blots out the sky and makes the yard of a neighboring home feel very claustrophobic.

    These housing glamour designs, particularly any new housing designs going forward, should be creative but remain within the scale dimensions of the standard home. I don't want these neighborhoods to turn into a place where I can't see the sky unless I look straight up. I shouldn't see the wall of a neighboring house at a lower elevation when I look out towards the horizon from the top of my roof.

    It's about keeping these designs "neighbor friendly". There must be ways to make creative housing glamours without making these homes take up more and more air-space. This is probably less of a problem on certain maps like the Lavender Beds, but in already cramped quarters like The Mist, it's well past the point of starting to suck.

    I would really like some simpler housing glamours along the lines of the Merchant/Arms/Eatery walls we got.

    Looking at some of the Hingan (I think that is the one, the tall multi tiered houses), the shape of the house is twice the size of the actual house itself on the inside. It's insane. If you're going to give us glamours like that, they the house on the inside should reflect the space you should be getting (where are our attics?).

    An option to turn off house glamours would be nice, might even help some people with loading times on less hearty computers (just set everything to the default of that housing district).

    Another line of those would be great, even better if we can create individual pieces instead of everything or nothing. I do hope they do more testing in all the areas with new skins they create to at least avoid the mass amounts of clipping we find all over with the castle wall.

    I bought the house directly in front of/below my personal for this exact reason. I do not want someone putting an ugly wall in the way of my ocean view.

    A mentor stole my house, slapped me across the face, and raised my ping from 15 to 30. Literally unplayable.

    I've always thought Shiro castle skins on small plots looked comical. It feels more appropriate on larges imo.

    Plus, you are a knee-high Lala, who would likely have her sight lines challenged by a dwarf hedge.

    I wish they would make more food and knick-knack type items that are not interactive. I have a lot of those meals I can't put out due to that stupid 40 disappearing item issue. Also W2B toilet for house, tired of going outside in the bushes. I had the coolest old style chain pull one in Wild Star. I shrunk down an evil bubbling cauldron and inset it into the bowl. Was quite an interesting effect hehe.
