Ability to play music through Bluetooth in homes

[Brillheim Evernwhirl]

Brief Summary:

Add ability to play music through phone in houses like we can in businesses

Detailed Suggestion:

All the houses I have looked in so far have a hi-fi system on an Ikea style shelving unit. It would be great if we could access that system in the same way we can access radios in business to play music.

The Pros:

I think if it were easier to play music in peoples homes more people would host house parties or things like that, it also wouldn't be so weird to players to see a hi-fi on the shelf but not be able to use it.

The Cons:

It could increase the load on the server if everyone starts playing music in their homes but I think anyone who does do that or would do that are using a work around of placing a portable speaker at the risk of it vanishing if their head pops whilst using it in the house with no one else around or forgetting to put it away when finished with it.

Buy a portable speaker. 

(just make sure you pick it up before leaving your house)

Why have a hi-fi on the shelf that can't be used then? If I can't use the one that came with the house please remove it. I don't want things that don't work cluttering my apartment.
I am a very tidy person and everything has its place.
I also use my apartment a lot for entertaining and it breaks my guests and my own immersion having to pull out a cheap looking portable speaker to play music when there is a nice looking one right their on the shelf.

The bed has no functionality, do you still have one of these?

Plants have no functionality

Can you pick up and play the guitar? No.

Bongs, televisions, etc etc etc. No functionality.

The TV I would also like to have some sort of functionality added to but not sure on how as I've not seen anything already in the game to do so. Plants are decorative items what purpose would they have other than existing?

It would be nice if we could interact with beds like we do in hospitals and have guitars, bongs etc trigger the relevant emotes as the emotes are already in game and temporarily hide the object or allow us to pick the objects up and move them around like we do with Portable Radios so we could pick up said guitar then do /e guitar.

But saying no I don't like the idea because "just use a portable speaker" is a bit short sighted, would it negatively impact your game or could it maybe improve it or other peoples game?

Maybe the houses need an overhaul in general to make them a bigger part of the world other wise what's the point if you're not a criminal using them to hide all your dodgy shit.

I haven't said "I dont like this idea" once in this thread.

There is an item in game which allows you to achieve what you want to achieve, albiet, its not perfect... but works. I simply believe other suggestions are more important and should take precedent with such limited development resource available, especially when there is a perfectly working work around for you that already exists.

There's no conflict here bro, you're good

Fair, and I agree but it would be nice to see this added to the To Do list even as a low priority but would not happen if its seen to be not wanted for the wrong reasons.

I agree with you about wanting the Devs to work on higher priority things first and in that I would like to see more legal and less labour based jobs added to the server (I'm looking at you fruit picking, mining and trucking).

Currently the only job suitable for Brillheim is Taxi Driver as the day time job as he is not the sort to get his hands dirty.
Would love to see things like Bus Driving/Train Driving (if the train can be added) a multi drop/pickup delivery job like UPS/Amazon where you pick up a bunch of packages and get paid per package delivered (this could even be turned into a player driver job with a dispatch system pick up item a here deliver to there).
