Why do you want a House?

[Seleni]

So it seems Decorating is the number one reason with gardening and outdoor items as number two. Now let me ask you this. How would you feel about apartments if SE changed them to be the same floor space as a Small House; both width and height (two story) but remove stair as where it is one giant cube. This would give the players the option on how they want to build either a two or three story space. They could also make it possible to place indoor or outdoor furniture inside this space allowing for some really creative designs.

Trying to recall what I felt like before I got super lucky and managed to get a small…
I think there’s a good chance that I’d still try to get a house; mostly because of the outside view. (I’m the type that’d relocate from small to small in search of the balance between view and convenience. I only did it when no one else was at the plot though)

Yoshida already said that they’re not looking into expanding apartment size at least until 6.1, so it’d probably take a lot of convincing for anything to be changed before then.

I'd like windows in my apartment. Looks so drab.

Can you resize furniture? My paintings are too damn big. And can you buy glam dressers?

Just dipping toes in this stuff. I'd like a house but can't afford it. My gil making ability is trash since I don't craft or gather.

Can't resize and can't place a glamour dresser in apartments or housing. They have something called "fake windows" that act like normal ones. You can preview furniture using Social > Housing > Preview Indoor Furniture

Imitation Long Window, Imitation Square Window, Imitation Shuttered Window, Small Imitation Window and Fool's Thresholds are all option for adding windows different from the default ones.

If you mean a real window that lets you look outside of your housing into the ward, those don't exist. The closest you can get is combining one of the new Phasmascapes with a window partition (I don't recommend this in a small house or apartment, the Phasmascapes are very bulky and have strange collision).

Can you resize furniture? My paintings are too damn big. And can you buy glam dressers?

No resizing (big disappointment for those who have played other MMOs with housing that have it).
No default vertical axis for item placement though it can be achieved through floating glitches with some limitations.
No glamour dresser for housing, though you can get the Armoire.

Don't need to craft or gather to make gil.

Treasure maps are a good way. There's a lot of raw gil coming out of map parties, not to mention all the item drops you can sell on the MB.

Keep sending your retainers on ventures. Quick ventures yield all sorts of things that can be converted to gil either through direct MB sales or turning in at your GC to buy materials you can sell to crafters. If you keep an eye on your local marketboard, you can catch spikes on prices on things that are obtained through hunting ventures as well.

Thought you got maps from gathering. I dont have ventures unlocked I don't think. Id have to look into it.

I'll see about picking up some imitation windows. I don't need to see outside, I just need it to not look like a prison lol.

Even fake windows would be great. My apartment looks like a prison cell.

And Knight to Remember is too big and clips with reliefs on the walls

Still think EQ2's furniture placement was better. Angling, resizing, z-axis movement (can make stuff float without glitching).

Ah maybe one day I'll find a plot. And be able to afford it. One day...

Well you got to look away from the forum and ask people... majority of houses is mostly bought as a status symbol that is never used, and the 1 FC system is a huge problem to that as well or a flaw that should be plugged.

If Apartments:

* Either had an outdoor terrace to do gardening (crossbreeding) and place some amount of outdoor decor, OR at the very least allowed indoor gardening (crossbreeding)
* Allowed at least 200 items (the same as a small house)
* Were bigger (say 5x5 instead of 3x4)

I'd be satisfied with an apartment. Until then a house is required to address my wants

I actually checked phoenix. Nada in lavender beds at least. I don't have the gil for it anyway. ><
