Free form housing placement

[GweannDarkslayer]

It would be really lovely to have the ability to place furniture wherever I want it, instead of the clunky hookpoint system. I understand it has been discussed over and over, and is not likely to happen, so how about this:

A cluster of hookpoints, say, in front of one of the unmovable fireplaces, where I could place a bench and a couple of chairs, , and make a conversation area. Maybe even a rug hookpoint in front of the fireplace to "anchor" the area.

It feels most awkward in our kin hall, where the hookpoints for placing chairs and tables are so spread out that it looks as though those are time-out chairs for bad kin-members!


It would be great, as well, to be able to put benches next to tables, so the lovely spread, for instance, on the Special Furniture "Breakfast table" looks more like a place to sit with companions and enjoy a meal and less like the breakfast buffet at Denny's?

These may not be new suggestions, but after spending the past few days redecorating our kin hall and my personal house, the issues, although admittedly minor, are fresh in my mind.

Considering there are no housing developers. There is nobody watching HGTV. Maybe if we get lucky they will assign someone to look into housing.

That was kind of cruel saying nobody watches HGTV. I bet the instance and landscape designers do...

That's what I thought. They've done housing.

OK, Yula, I'll bite: what's HGTV?

Oh, come on. Rename the thread if you must, but rename it based on the entire post, not just the first two freaking lines.

Oh, come on. Rename the thread if you must, but rename it based on the entire post, not just the first two freaking lines.

The thread was renamed because the original title was asking a question, not making a suggestion. A problem we've encountered more and more - Questions aren't suggestions.

The current title reflects the main theme of your suggestion, the ability to place items where you wish and/or in proximity to other items.

Oh. Yeah.

There's a channel for everything these days, isn't there? (I watch almost no TV ... occasionally my daughter will call me up to the upstairs flat where she lives, to see an episode of Mythbusters or Good Eats.)

Thanks.
