[Suggestions] Housing v2

Probably there isn't a single person who love housing whom doesn't dream about increase the item limit of certain residences or getting their hands on some really new features and items. Bellow I prepared some of the most interesting and exciting ideas that could make housing much more pleasant, natural and alive. Enjoy and... I hope to see at least some of those ideas introduced in the game soon!

- Allow us to increase the item limit we can put in our houses, individually, by expanding the usage of the Pack Merchant by allowing players to buy up to 10 item limit upgrades for EACH of their houses. Each of those upgrades should increase the item limit of that particular house by 10% for a total of 100% increase. Prices should also differ depending on the quality of the particular homestead.
- Guest book. Allow us to check who visited our houses in the past 30 days.
- Allow us to write our own Scrolls, Letters, Books, Message Tablets and Sign Posts.
- Sound packs! Allow us to add sound effects or items that generate sound to make our homesteads more alive.
- Events. Allow players to create customised role playing events for example while walking through a certain spot, a messasge (visual or audio) will be made visible / audible, or certain items would appear visible or move. so players could create puzzles on a whole new level and make their homesteads more alive than ever.
- Lock furniture. Allow us to lock furniture to prevent accidental movement. Also allow us to lock interactive furniture in a certain stage so visitors cannot interact with them anymore (example lights).
- Portals. Allow players to use those wayshrines to travel to another one of that particular player residence.
- Allow us to make furniture invisible to the naked eye, with or without collision.
- Interactive objects such as invisible clouds you could walk on them after toggling an event.
- Ability to use several amounts of a certain mount or pet.
- Livestock animals.
- NPCs and Creatures. Animated, NOT as target dummies.
- Levitating (animated) rocks.
- Interactive Fish Pond! Because who doesn't love fishing? This minigame should allow players to complete in catching some really awesome fish or prizes
- Resource nodes. Usable or as simple decorations or... both types. Usable ones should generate resources once a day / week. To prevent exploiting there should be a limit of up to n items of a certain type a player can buy. For ex a player can buy n rubedite ore nodes AND also same amount of lesser quality nodes such as iron or dwarven... Decorative versions should be unlimited tho.
- Seasonal Items. Trees, flowers, Brushes so players can create seasonal themed homesteads.
- Interactible beds.
- Texture tiles.
- Water / Liquid filled containers.
- Thermal Pools like those from Vvardenfell
- Geysers such as those from Sulphur Pond, Stonefalls.

    I want to be able to put up a merchant stall at my house which can trade with my visitors on my behalf.

    Another nice option would be to turn the texture for light sources off. So you could attach different lights to any object.

      I played Rift some years ago and they had some really nice features to their housing.
      One thing I particularly liked was the placement of an item that would allow you to alter the weather within your housing instance - rain, thunder/lightning, etc.

      Another option that was built-in to their housing editor was the ability to levitate or "fly" (even though it isn't possible within the game itself). The great thing about that is when placing items, esp with large houses, you can see up close exactly where you're placing them and their proximity/association with other items.

      Allow us to manipulate time... its awful hard to decorate a house at night.
      Allow us to place our own items directly into our friends houses. :)

      Also weather boxes! Something that changes the feel of the outside for those with outsides to decorate :)

      I posted this a few weeks ago and got no feedback other than 3 awesomes. I think this would be easily do-able.

      I am well aware of this addon but in order to write something you have to use around 5 items per char. I also know about eht addon
