Colossal Aldmeri Grotto - decorated

ermenaa · January 2020

Hey all!
I am new to Eso forums community and got prompted to join by Chryseia. Thank you Chrys you are inspiration in so many ways

I love decorating and it becomes real passion, but i guess i am a bit crazy accepting to decorate completely alone the home of another person. Thank you @cupcaakee for the challenge and the trust, its was real fun!
So i decorated @cupcaakee's Colossal Aldmeri Grotto. He wanted a big house which could be used also as guild hall for his new starting guild. I made him a temple for his mundus stones and training dummies. Small cheerful crafting area. A large gazebo where he can eat and drink with guild members. And a big house where he can relax after saving Tamriel

I hope you guys like and find some useful ideas as i got plenty inspiration from other's people housing videos.

Here is the video and thank you for watching:

Here is great place to show my respect to Cardinal05 for his genius EHT making decorator's work smooth as a "song".

P.S.The house is on PC/EU, if you are curious to meet in person, please write to @cupcaakee and ask for visitor permission.

Great work! I have this idea to make a temple too. But more of a temple devoted to "The Light" and the divines. More like a "cult of goodness" :-) Would love to hear which bits and pieces you used for the temple.

@Aelorin, hey and thank you for the reply!
For the "temple" skeleton i used only Elsweyr Platforms, Ancient Rectangular.

For the top of the structure and some "make-up" 4 Elsweyr Shrines, Ancient Large

and one Elsweyr Tower, Ancient Huge

The rest - some Elsweyr Stairs, Masonry,

Elsweyr Statue, Shrine Lion

one Alinor Stairway, Timeworn Wide

You have great idea for creating Temple to "the"Light", i would love to see a project if you have any or when its done! What construction materials do you plan to use?

In case you decide to use dummies just a friendly advice - they are bugged and not wroking properlly if the dummies are not placed very close to ground level. Even on a platform, which is above the ground, the person who is fighting against the dummy cannot exsecute some of his skills, and the damage cannot be properly calculated.

Really fabulous design Ermenaa. So many creative ideas here. My favourites amongst them were the wine cooler and the shower. Also, framing the waterfall in the dining room and bedroom was a brilliant piece of design in the building.
Thank you very much for sharing

Aw

Ermenaa!

Fantastic Build! I especially loved all the brilliant cobbles sprinkled throughout, like the outdoors couch swing:

Or the amazing appliances and kitchen tools, like the drying rack, wine cooler, and oven/stovetop:

Or your attention to tiny details, like hot and cold faucets for your sinks and shower:

Amazing job!

Beautiful work @ermenaa and welcome to our forums!

@Zypheran, hey! I am very happy you like my design, because you are one of my inspirational "gurus". I have seen most of your youtube housing videos, commented under a lot of them and I even came to see one of your houses on pts - Lucky Cat Landing. I always admired your architectural and building talent and the way you managed to take advantage of the best views and use them in your builds. In relation to my wine cooler this is where i got the idea

Looks familiar

? So I thank you for sharing!

@Chryseia, hey dear! Thank you so much for the possitive feedback! Along with your amazing cobbles that i always wondered "how is this even possible" you impact on me with your guides. Last December, trying to learn to use EHT I found by chance your forum post.

https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/504702/misty-grove-orchard-chateau-full-cobbled-reskin-and-expansion-of-old-mistveil-manor#latest

There you were explaining in great details EHT features and their usage. If i didnt find that post of yours i would never be able to make with base housing editor the hot and cold faucets which you have liked

@ZOS_Adrikoth, hey! Thank you for the good evaluation and the warm welcome!
I am "elder scroll" person and metaphorically speaking, I am wise enough when i meet an angel /game admin/ to beg him/her to pass my Christmas wish to Game Gods/Devs/ for bigger item limit.

Great ideas in the bathroom and kitchen! I'll have to remember them for my own use.

Hi @WolfStar07, I am glad you like and you will use some ideas
