Yard ‘Skins’

[Demius]

Given that we now have some demonstrated ability, via the island sanctuary, to alter ground texture (grass vs dirt vs stone); could that feature be implemented into housing as well, as a ‘yard skin’ or ‘yard texture’ feature? Being able to toggle a yard texture from plain grass over to snow, or sand, or rocks, or lava, or flowers, or even water.. etc would be so cool! I would propose that it not take up an outdoor furnishing slot, since grass doesn’t.

Perhaps to further the ‘fun’ of collecting various yard textures, a special ‘texture gem’ or something could drop from various dungeons (e.g. Hell’s Lid drops Lava Texture Gems). Then, the ‘cost’ of retexturing is a particular gem. Alternatively, the gathering classes could gather texture gems from environments of the corresponding type.

In an even further embodiment, maybe multiple textures or partial textures could be implemented.

Cant wait for the NA-RP HOA to come over to complain about the non confirm yard textures "only grass texture is allowed in this ward you filthy stone yard user"

"Excuse me, Ward 23 is a mandatory lava-zone."

As long as the change was to the entire ground area, it could probably be added as a fixture changed in the remodel menu.

Let them. I didn't join the HOA.
