Request for more cluttered or filled furnishings

Omegacron · May 10

Regardless of whether or not we'll be getting increased furnishing slots in the future, I'd love to see more cluttered or filled items. We have a few bookshelves like this, and lately they've been adding more meals/dishes already filled out. The following examples would greatly decrease the number of furnishing slots needed to garner the same overall effect:

Kitchen shelves already stocked with foodstuffs and/or crates
Counters already covered in plates, dishes, or food being prepared
Wineracks already filled with bottles
Hutches already filled with the appropriate dishes, cups, or pitchers
Curio cabinets already cluttered up with knick-knacks
Weapon racks already filled with weapons (hint, hint)

To clarify, I don't want these furnishings to replace the empty versions - the freedom to decorate exactly how you want will always have priority in my book. However, adding 2 or 3 pre-filled versions in each style would be a HUGE step towards alleviating the pressure we players feel when it comes to traditional furnishing slots. And even if that's no longer a problem at some point in the future, it also offers an easier way to decorate homes and make them feel lived-in without having to own & place each individual item.

Also, just to point out something I don't see here on the forums a lot - Keep up the great work, ZOS! You guys do a pretty awesome job and you've created a beautiful, amazing game!

Plans from Elsweyr and later have both filled and unfilled bookcases, but I agree that we need more filled objects than that.
Elsweyr had a filled wine rack but I am unsure if any wine racks after that were filled.

EDIT: typo

I do like these. Especially bookshelves.

Plans for fill bookshelves in any style I'm trying to use are must haves for me.

The Elsweyr style is uncommonly well rounded.

It's also one of the few styles with a craftable fountain (plus the antiquity one), and a wide range of beds, and at least some of those, well made rather than looking like it was the recent site of... I'll go with explosion.

From memory their breadth of structural pieces was also a cut above on release, but later styles have matched and sometimes bettered them.

And there are SOOOOOOOO many crown store homes.

Either there are a ridiculous number of Khajiit players who are into housing, or this was an experiment.

Offer more craftables making the style easier to furnish with and more appealing and then see if players buy more homes.

I quite like some of the crown store homes, but Hall of the Lunar Champion is so awesome that I feel completely catered to in the kitty department. Plus Potentate's Retreat would be much more appealing minus the crystals.

As well as the filled Elsweyr Wine rack, there is the Solitude Wine Rack, Noble Full. although it has less bottles.

This is true! I LOVE the Elsweyr style but wish we had this breadth of furnishings for Hlaalu or Redoran style as well! I confess to being rather disappointed by the Necrom style and many of the new Telvanni style furnishings, but I’m loving a lot of the intricate Apocrypha furnishings.

Me too, me too, me too, me too!

I already had several Khajiit but when creating new characters and weighing up options, the relative lack of furnishing and houses for other races made me lean further in their direction.

Never played or was even slightly interested in them in the single player games. Argonians I've always loved but their housing / furnishing options are ultra limited and not especially to my tastes. Obviously we're not limited to matching house and race and can also mix styles to good effect but not liking your race's native style feels like a handicap.

While Dunmer might be close to on par with Khajiit for housing and furnishing, the Telvanni furnishings they added with Necrom lack the refinement of the earlier Telvanni ones from Vvardenfell which I adore.

Without really trying I have most of their new furnishing plans now and don't want to use any of them. I might try to see if the mushroom cup candles can be combined with something else (i.e. replace the candles).

Tel Galen is the only crown house store home I've bought.

The Necrom style I have mixed feelings about.

For my tastes Necrom's interiors are a bit much. Too colour rich. I might buy Emissary's Enclave though and try to tone it down. Necrom furnishings are too sharp and edgy for my tastes but I may find some use for at least some of them.

I'm still rounding out my Apocrypha plans but love them. Shame about the hefty price of their style item component.

Filled furnishings would help with the furnishing limit for sure. I'd like a set table for one, that would come in very handy for the smaller houses and apartments.
