Daedric Princes Shrines House

I'm a casual housing player, but for years now I've been slowly collecting furnishings for my Ebonheart Chateau. The goal was to have an area of the house dedicated to each Daedric Prince. It's still a work in progress, and some areas are more fleshed out than others at the moment.

I've never purchased a crowns house before because they are so pricey and hard to fill. However, when Agony's Ascent was first released, I couldn't help but imagine how perfect it would be for my Daedric Prince house. All the different colors and atmospheres with the sulfur pools... I could picture where I would place each shrine. I didn't have the crowns at the time, and I didn't want to jump the gun, so I told myself I'd think on it and purchase the next time it became available.

Well, now it's available again, and I'm having trouble pulling the trigger, so I'd thought I'd come to the forums for advice and opinions from the housing experts. Below are pics of my current Ebonheart Chateau setup. (It's a lot, I know, so they are in spoiler tags.) Is it worth buying Agony's Ascent and relocating all my furnishings there? Any thoughts on this matter would be appreciated.

The entrance:
The first area is a small forest dedicated to Hircine with animals representing his aspects. I planned to add more foilage.

Then there's the fountain of Azura in the yard.

The porch area is planned to be a market dedicated to Clavicus Vile.

Outdoors to the left:
On the left are the areas for Peryite, Mehrunes Dagon, and Malacath.

Malacath's area is planned to be a workshop.

Peryite has a small corner.

Mehrunes has the tower with a throne upstairs. The downstairs is planned to be a dungeon, and I wanted to add fire. It also had some small Daedric pets, but I had to remove them when I ran out of that kind of slot.

Outdoors to the right:
On the right is Meridia's starry garden, which is still under construction.

Also to the right is Namira's fungal garden with an area hidden in the back corner that is planned to be cannibal-themed.

Inside, the main floor and balcony:
Most of these areas are still a work in progress. The lobby is dedicated to Hermaeus Mora.

I planned to put his statue on the right side eventually.

Boethiah has a throne in the main area.

The view from the throne is below.

Nocturnal's area is on the left side when entering. It's pretty plain right now, but I have some dark tendrils and a crow houseguest.

The opposite landing has a feasting table with red fireflies. This is Sanguine's area (although there's no statue yet).

Upstairs, I planned to have statues of Sheogorath and Jyggalag facing one another and then side wings for mania and depression. This one has a long way to go.

Inside, downstairs:
Vermina, Mephala, and Molag Bal are down the stairs.

I had to sink the Molag Bal statue to fit it in this room.

Vermina's room is planned to have more beds sporadically strewn around the walls and ceiling. The weird blurs in the images are bats. They add good atmosphere but don't photograph well.

Again, I welcome any thoughts or advice. I like what I've started, but it has a long way to go, and the other house definitely has more space and innate atmosphere. It's just pricey.

    I haven’t purchased Agony’s Ascent, but of course I have previewed it. Also, not a housing expert either, lol, just an amateur.

    Of course the house would be the perfect theme for what you have created so far, but I recall the rooms not being very spacious so you would have to rely on the outside areas if that is the case. I could be totally wrong, also.

    Yeah, I would still be using both the indoor and outdoor space for the different Princes. It does have the greenish sulfur pools, which I thought I might use for the Hermaeus Mora, Peryite, or Malacath.

    If it were me in your current situation, I would purchase Agony's Ascent while it's within your reach, and make the transfer.
    Any time that I've been inspired by the look of a particular house and DIDN'T grab it while it was available (and I had the means to do so), I've regretted it. Because my mind will keep dwelling on all of the things, and continually coming up with new things, I could do with that specific space, but now I can't because I didn't jump on it when I had the chance.

    (*I am by no means advocating for the intentional 'Fear Of Missing Out' philosophy under which ZOS operates with their excessive over-reliance on limited-availability, which I am very much against.)

      My Daedric Princes collection is at Earthtear with its nooks. While I now also own Agony‘s Ascent, I have barely decorated it as I tend to get lost there. A lot xD.
      But sure, it would be nicely suited to such a display of Daedric worship IMO.
