'' I think we need some mirrors in the bathrooms and I think a Disco room in the basement would be awesome, with a mirror ball, some neon lights and some funky 80s disco vibes, PARTY ON ''Â
UPDATE: as of 17 June, this game is closed, in light of stock photo crediting issues and also the fact that it has been very time-consuming to maintain. To everyone who helped create this monstrosity lovely living space, thank you, and thank you for the great art that it has spawned, too! More about it in this post
A game concept that I thought might be fun. Time to put the "house" in Toyhouse??
The House
To start, there's a tiny and rather disappointing house in the middle of the green. Nothing's in it yet; the walls and floors are bare, the grounds are covered in weeds, and it has the bare minimum of facilities.
Your OCs are looking to move into this house. but it's obviously not up to their standards! Before they do, they can make some change to it, big or small. They might build a new room, plant a hedge, take down someone else's ugly decor, or knock a hole in the wall (with their fist!) because they want a better view from the living room. It's all the same house, so you can also make adjustments to others' changes. Sky's the limit!
How to play
- Claim to prevent ninjaing.
- Respond IC and say what your OC does to the house.
- IC commentary is not necessary, but would be fun. And that's it!
Rules
- You can either make changes in up to two rooms, or add a room and furnish it.
- Wait 2 posts before posting again.
- Interacting with and building on others' additions is fun, but try to avoid completely eliminating someone else's addition immediately after.
- SFW additions only!

Note that it takes me some time to update this plan + list, do read the most recent comments as well! Also, you don't have to do this to play, but it would be really helpful to me if you could link top-view solid-bg images of objects you add to the room, if you're able to find them!
Art of our humble abode
“Hey now!” Prim grinned. “It’s not a basement unless it has a punching bag and a huge shelf full of old dusty board games. And line those floor with that cold stone stuff!! Let’s get dad’s old, worn-in recliner!! Make those stairs wood!! This is that CLASSIC basement, babey !!”
About to slam the punching bag, she raised a thoughtful claw to her mouth. “Oh, and maybe spruce up the second floor a bit. I dunno. Puts some Christmas lights in there or something.”
"Not the tidiest place I've ever been in, but you might be surprised to hear that I've seen worse," Lala says, tutting as she casts a keen eye over the decor. "I will say, there are plenty of places to entertain here, but the formal gathering spaces are... lacking."
She sidles past the large rodent on the second floor (which seems to have tangled itself in some Christmas lights) and looks upon the blank walls beyond. "This, this will do." She pens a quick note, and a small golem scurries off to deliver it, bringing back with them a team of carpenters who open up a hole in the wall and build out a balcony just above the porch, furnished with an ornate sitting table and chairs, and a golem butler who will cater to any guest who chances in for tea.
"Yes," Lala says with an approving nod, "Right and lovely."
Blade walks over the fountain to rest. Eventually, he falls asleep. When he wakes up, it appears that his cryokinesis had inadvertently froze the fountain water. Deciding not to do anything with it, he walks away. He thought the fountain looked better frozen, anyways.
"Oo, balloons! Fun! But maybe so we don't get static on our heads, we should make the bedroom to accommodate more balloons in the future."
*walks in to the house* ''ewww that smell, is that strawberries grosss. *sprays freshener of Sea breeze (now the house smells like the ocean''. Talking about the beach , I am loving the living room this is super *builds a sandcastle* , What about we add some Hawaiian hula girls... some coconuts and can't forget some awesome surf boards handing on the wall'' Awww *relaxed* now I am home....Â
'' altho where are the ladies at, this better not be a house of only men''Â
Tanio descends the stairs to the basement. "Ah, the perfect place to install my—Ihir!" He freezes at the foot of the stairs behind the baby gate, coming face-to-face with the raging fire that has consumed the entire diner. "This is not ideal!"
Recalling the swamped bathroom from earlier, he begins drafting some blueprints. Soon he has team of engineers on it, and in barely a day, a pipe channelling water from the bathroom into the basement has been installed. He turns on all taps to full and lets the new ceiling spout do the work, flopping into the recliner with some newspapers amid the scent of smoke.
It isn't until several hours later that Tanio swings his feet off the leg-rest...and straight into an ankle-deep pool of water. The main area of the basement is flooded. Water is still gushing out of the spout. "Oh. Oops."
"This basement would look better with a coffee table. Where would people enjoy their tea or coffee without it? People sometimes prefer to relax with coffee."
“You know what? Let’s carpet that second floor, why don’t we... and maybe put a couple shelves in there. Ooh! With some plants on them!! And can we get some gachapons in here? Yknow, like Japanese toy machines?” Sapph pranced out to the balcony, admiring the view. “How nice. But we better put the espresso machine out here so people don’t have to stand up. Also, maybe the balcony could be made of wood.”

Jax grins, walking towards the fire in the basement, her eyes wide "Prettty," she says staring into the flames. She narrows her eyes, getting an idea. Heading upstairs and to the trees she gets a nasty grin as she flicks a lighter, letting one of the trees on fire. With a happy skip she heads back to the basement. After making a quick call on her phone a large shipment of fireworks takes up a large portion of the basement.
