I would like to propose a new feature for Player Housing that could significantly enhance immersion and quality of life.

The idea is to allow us to place our own alternate characters (alts) in our Primary Home, similar to how we currently place Assistants, Companions, and Houseguests. Once placed, we could interact with these characters to directly swap to them, bypassing the need to log out to the main menu.

How It Would Work:

In the Housing Editor, we could select our alts from the list and place them in our home, much like placing a Houseguest. We could even choose a pose or emote for them (e.g., sitting, reading, leaning against a wall).

Interacting with a placed alt would trigger a character swap. This would function similarly to a wayshrine or door transition, with a brief loading screen, but would be much more thematic than exiting to the character select screen.

If we are currently logged in as that character, they would automatically become hidden in the house until you switch to another one.

Benefits:

This would bring our characters to life, making them feel like a true "clan," guild, or adventuring party that shares a home. It would be a fantastic way to showcase our fashion and character designs. For players with many characters who run daily writs or other tasks, this would streamline the process of swapping between them, reducing menu time. This would add a much-desired layer of functionality and personality to our homes, making them feel like a true hub for all our characters.

Given that homes already support loading multiple player characters (when guests visit) and we have functional NPCs like bankers and merchants, this seems like a technically possible extension of existing systems.

I believe this feature would be a wonderful addition to the game, enriching both the housing and roleplaying aspects. Thank you for considering this suggestion!
