Layout limitations

Community Housing

I have just enough budget to add a large octagon room without changing my current layout that I really want to keep, but the game won’t let me attach it to the room I want it attached to. If I add a hallway, I can attach it, but I don’t have enough budget for that. If I could swap out an L hallway for a T hallway, then I could add the large octagon room but the game won’t let me do that because there are two connecting doorways. So..

  1. Please lift the limits on how rooms can or can’t attach to each other. Just let every room be capable of attaching to one another.
  2. Allow us to swap one room for another. If you’re upsizing, the decor can remain as it is and just need to be rearranged for the larger room size. If you’re downsizing, decor that remains in the smaller room after the change could stay in place, and decor that ended up outside the bounds of the room could just get put back into inventory.
  3. Give us a “Preview” option when working with the room layout, or the house style/appearance outside so we can view the options available without actually changing anything.

It’s speculated that the octagon and the day/night rooms are either bugged or that their corners are somehow clipping into other rooms, which prevents them from being placed without the help of another room.

Hopefully it’s something they’re looking into.

But yes, some kind of mid-room editing would be nice so you don’t have to undo five other rooms to get to the second one you placed.

I had this problem as well, when moving my house, piece by piece, from Horde to Alliance.

The way it fixed itself was by adding the large octagon to another room, and then moving it to where I needed it to be.

It strangely wouldn’t add, but would move.

Hope that helps.

Some of the seeming limitations will go away as we get increased decor budgets. Then, adding a small closet or hallway as a connector to a big room will feel right and natural instead of trying to squeak in something with our final few points.

I could only get my Daylight room to work but removing a room and adding a closet. :frowning:
