+ Note for the Housing devs, in case you see this:
I have an inkling about who worked on this, and I'm grateful for your work! Glad we're getting more big water features – they're sorely needed. All of the craftable, gold-buyable, earnable ones coming out lately are so appreciated. (I can only speak for myself, but I'm sure others agree.)

I do know that most furnishing items are made from existing in-game models; that explains some limitations. For example the spiky, jutting rocks on the two "Scenic" waterfalls couldn't "simply" be removed – you'd have to remodel and retexture and UV; it can be a ton of work. (Same goes for players asking to remove things like saddles from mounts, tassets, parts of houses, etc. Changing existing 3D models can easily turn into a bigger-than-expected task; it can be hours-to-weeks of work and troubleshooting. Time that gets pulled away from other Housing items and features we might like. More reasonably, I hope we can ask that future items have such considerations and more modular options.)

There's also a lot that goes on behind the scenes that we don't know about at all. I have no clue how hard it was to translate these items into furnishings, nor what the whole process entailed. I am fairly certain the Housing team doesn't decide pricing, etc., but beyond that, no idea. Much may be easier said than done.

So I hope the negative parts, if you read this, don't feel too harsh towards you all.

And some questions / wishlist items:
  • Could more gold-buyable and craftable waterfalls be in our future, even if they're not quite as tall?
  • Would a deep, swimmable pool / pond / lake furnishing be possible?
  • Or just more like Zerith-var's pool: bottomless
  • How about some isolated planes of water, not surrounded by any rocks or structures?
    (On that note, clear, non-shadow-casting glass planes not surrounded by anything would be extremely useful! Imagine something that could be used not only for windows, but for invisible magic paths, barriers, etc.)
  • Re: this post on communication, would it ever be possible for some Housing player representatives to review & give suggestions on Crown and Crate items like these before they launch?
