    Getting my first apartment!

    I am too poor and too lazy for he fest of trying to get a house. So I plan to buy an apartment. I understand you can have both and a house and a apartment.

    I am also starting a cult, so I need a head quarters for my people to gather and discuss plots to over throw the throne. Ya know typical jazz. But I also need to craft, and live. A character has to relax while in a queue for a dungeon.

    I know there is a lot you can’t do, but if you don’t mind, could you share your apartment for inspiration? I’m looking for what you like after a long day, a functional yet homely atmosphere. I’ll be crafting all my stuff, but I just wanted some inspiration

    Ps has any one tried replicating any inn rooms for fun?

    Cheers!

    I don't have any screenies for my old apartment setup, but with some creativity, you can do some nifty things, even with the limited space for furniture. I was able to make a studio apartment for myself before I got my house, with some partitions for a tiny bathroom. Good stuff.

    Here's some shots of my apartment:






    There might be a lot you can't do due to the limited number of items you can use, but there's a lot you can do with some creative placement and frugal detailing. If you want to tour it yourself by all means feel free.

    While I personally don't have an apartment or can help with our queries of styling an apartment in a pleasing fashion. I feel like I have to say this.

    Thank you for using the Apartment System as a (temporary) alternative to fighting for a housing plot in the current climate. While everyone knows just how touch-and-go it is with current events spiraling to and fro, it is rather pleasing to see someone actually take the initiative and use the systems offered to them.

    If only others were as clear-headed as you, OP. Then maybe things wouldn't be as bad!

    I hope that external links aren't against the rules but housingsnap has a ton of great reference material on it. If you click the magnifying glass, the two last options under 'size' will limit the search results to FC rooms and apartments so that you have a better gauge of what fits and how to make good use of the space you have available.

    Seconding this, apartments/FC rooms in general are so underappreciated. Don't let the 100 item count limit scare you away, you can still do a lot of amazing stuff in it. Please show them more love.

    Here is my apartment:

    IMO I love apartments,the only thing I would say is that they could add a small soil patch for gardening and then it would be perfect for me ( I just want to get the Mandragora royal family lol). They are cheaper, easier to acquire, and no time limit on them (to my knowledge anyway please correct me if I am wrong). This is just my opinion, but houses are not worth it when it gets so cut throat to buy a plot, and people have enough stress in real life.
    Nothing against houses I just don't want to deal with the stress of trying to get one.

    All apartments really need, to accommodate most people, is for the item limit to be raised to 200+ and for an indoor garden patch to be added to the game. Other things like bigger sized apartments are "nice to haves" but not vital compared to those previous two items imo.

    Check the marketboard for the seeds, sometimes you can find them fairly cheap. Then you can grow the seeds in flowerpots in your apartment/FC room.

    Or if you have a friend with a house who's not using their garden, ask to be added as a tenant so you can grow there.
