    "Home Goods Furnishers also often carry practical, simple items that you can use to quickly decorate your home with the basics, like barrels and crates."

    This made me laugh! I've got barrels and crates in my home - yep all the basics I need to live! :D

    Uh...yeah...I've got over a hundred furniture items in my home and NONE of them is a crate or a barrel...

    Ya know you guys put a lot of stuff on your website and forums to try and explain the ambiguous or lack of information in the game.

    Perhaps it would be more effective to put this stuff in the game using your artworks and such.
    Just suggesting a change as most players don't come here to read....and shouldn't as you could simply offer official information in one of the many UIs that are very lacking.


    Imagine if our journals actually had all your how to and FYI articles
    Imagine if in the journal it listed
    -patch notes (recent and prior)
    -website articles
    -Helpful articles
    -Announcements

    Could you PLEASE!!!! add a way to tell which furnishings in the Housing Editor's Crown Store purchase tab are Crown Store "ONLY" furnishings and cannot be obtained in the game. I like thousand of other player have spent weeks looking for certain furniture items only to realize that those furniture items are only available through the Crown Store purchase tab, Grrrrr! Come on ZOS how hard would be to indicate that something like the "Redguard Armchair, Lattice" is a Crown Store only item.

    After the Age Gate the Housing Guide article gave a timeout error. Succeeded on the 3rd try.

    Also, article shows XB1 and PS4 controls for the Housing Editor but not for PC or Mac.

    Can we PLEASE just a fix to the collision mechanic period? Can build the most awesome dueling arena, only to be knocked through the walls every time.

    Such a shame they didn't use the collections tab style of showing all the items that are available ingame with the ones you have highlighted, would've allowed players to more easily find items they'd like to use in their homes, could've integrated clown store items as well. At the moment players have to rely on others or external websites to see what items look like :( until they discover the plans for making them. Huge wasted opportunity :(

    If you're on PC/mac try this addon called "Furniture Preview"

    Just echoing that it would be great to see this addressed/acknowledged. At this point I just want to know if it will ever change, or if the current collision rules are what we get.

    It's 2017.. isn't it about time the Age Gate thingy defaults to something you can just click through. Usually follow these links then get that stupid box which I'm sure "legal" forces you to have, but most of the time end up just closing the website.

    At least on other sites like for example Steam, it defaults to something like 01/01/1901.

    Can we PLEASE get an increase in the number of items?

    Also maybe a Minstrel Assistant to play music around the house.

    Ah...so that's why I can't find a plan for the Dark Elf Chair, Angled or the Dark Elf Trestle? Really sucks that I can't furnish my home entirely with crafted items, but have to purchase some from the Crown Store if I really want to decorate a place the way I want.

    Problem is there are only 2 Dunmer chairs - one of them craftable, the armchair, and the other apparently locked behind the Crown Store. Sheesh! There are only 2 other Dunmer items you can sit on - the sofa and the stool. Really limited options for Dark Elf furnishings. I see about a dozen Redguard chairs/sofas, but only 3 for Dunmer?

    Here's hoping they add the rest of the racial furnishings to those that are craftable in future. Or at least give us some more Dunmer options with the release of Morrowind.
