the item previews should include other items or your own character to determine size/scaling

looking at something in preview could look larger or smaller than it really is

a try-before-you-buy style thing might work, but it would make the housing editor have to work like editing an outfit (where you have to "commit" changes before it actually changes anything), this might also remove the ability to have multiple people decorating a house at the same time

I’d be perfectly fine with that.

I'd like to see a function that allows you to place items before you purchase them. How many times have we purchased something and thought to ourselves, this is gonna look GREAT! Then you place it after buying it and determine it doesn't look as great as you thought it would and wished you hadn't bought it? Granted it doesn't happen often but it still feels awful, since you wasted crowns. Crowns are expensive and a commodity none of us wants to waste! At least, that's how I feel.

Don't forget you can also test these things out for free on the PTS.

Not if your on console bud!

And not if you're buying an item for a limited-time crown-exclusive house on NA and the PTS stays on the same copy of EU for months and months on end.

I thought I had seen tiles in the previews that showed scale. Do I recall incorrectly?

there is like a generic tiled floor, but that doesnt give you a good relation to anything else without knowing how big the tiles are, and for larger objects the tiles can be small enough would be hard to keep track of, even small objects look much larger than they are although you can tell they are much smaller than some other objects if your comparing several)

it would be much better to have either your character or an NPC character next to the object for a better size relation

In the existing previews I would also love the ability to be able to rotate freely through all axes, not just in a horizontal circle. Countless times I am looking to do something weird with an object and end up having to buy it to find out that, no, the base does not look the way I was hoping or, with some rocks, oh, from some angles there is no surface at all and it is transparent(!!?).
