Apartment windows with a (nice) view

[tinythinker]

You know if you just want a view for aesthetic reasons, you can make one.

Which is very cool. Those are awesome. Having the option to see a view of the actual zone where the housing is located -- one that changes with the day and weather cycles to give the illusion of being a "real window" -- would also be very cool.

The latter option as proposed in this thread would be especially nice for people who like the added realism ("oh look it's raining now") as well as those who don't have the time, crating skill, or gil to make the type of DIY views you thoughtfully shared.

In any case, I'm impressed how creative some people can be

They've said in the past that we can't have gardening in apartments because they were made with no ties to the weather of the residential areas. If you want a window that shows the actual weather, then you're running into the reason we can't have gardening in apartments. If you just want a window with a view, that could possibly switch day/ night lighting, that might be a more feasible request.

Losing the weather is fine. It's mostly just getting a sense of changes outdoors along with the view. Day cycle still offers that.

There's absolutely no reason to not have real gardening available in apartments (like planter boxes) because the weather doesn't affect the apartment. First of all, the weather in game doesn't affect outdoor gardens. You still have to water your plants even if it rained nonstop all day before. Secondly, it doesn't even work like that IRL and you can grow all the individual seeds in pots anyways. SE hasn't said we can't have gardening in apartments. They said we can't have balconies with furniture.
