New Housing Aesthetics - A small change. Turn on the lights.

I love the new housing. It is really beautiful and fun to play with.
I have a great time decorating my home. 
I would change something though:

I think that the house should look lit from inside when you are looking at it from the street. 
As it is now, it looks rather dark and empty. Lit windows make it look very cheery.
See my linked image for a visual.

  • Yeah!!!

    It looks like a Thomas Kinkade painting all lit like that.  <3  Ahhh...

  • How about lights on when you are home and lights out when you aren't?

  • I prefer lights on all the time. I have little baby animals in my home and they don't like the dark.

  • Much better lit. A wisp of smoke rising from the chimney would be nice too.

  • I completely agree, and appreciated the added touch of your Glitch's face also being lit with a smile. :)

  • Yes! I also wish I could turn on the lights inside the house (going from on to a little brighter.).

    I totally love my angler floor lamp. Whoever designed that: genius!!

  • I prefer NOT to have lights on all the time. I have little baby animals in my home and they like to be able to get some sleep.

  • Fun ideas!  I didn't think of having animals there, Luke!

  • I definitely like the happier lit up look.  I'd love to have this as the default, or at least an option.  It would be neat if it were tied to the status of inside lights, but only if I don't get an electric bill :P

  • Awesome, Jope! I'm totally up for this. It makes the house look that much more inviting.

  • Wow, such a simple thing can make such a huge effect. I love it. Maybe they will consider this.

  • Lights on when you are online no matter where you are in Ur, kinda of like being awake or asleep ??

  • Love the picture of the lighted house...like the idea for smoke from the chimney too...kind of dig the idea that the lights would be on, if I were online, but off when I'm offline.  A nice instant visual cue as to my game status for anyone visiting.

  • I like your ideas too, as well as the picture of the lit house. :))
    The current "unlit" house already looks lovely & cozy from the outside, but when the night comes & it's getting dark oustide (even if it never really gets dark outside), being able to see its lights on from the street when there's someone inside would make it look even more charming & fairy tale-like!

  • I like the lights idea very much! Very 'cozy' looking.
    Should it be posted in ideas? or at least added to the comments on the 'how to test new housing'  staff post?
    I like the idea of the lights coming on if I am home. Maybe be able to  turn my lights on or off myself??  You know, in case of baby animals and such.
