Player housing: what is interactive?

Beilin_Balreis_Colcan · April 2024

I haven't really explored player housing customisation (the grand total of furniture items I've crafted is: 1, just to see if I could craft something). So I was wondering what "furniture" items are interactive in the player housing? The ones I can think of right now are:

chairs (some)
lights
books (some)
guests
crafting stations
training dummies

No doubt I've missed a few items?

I was considering customising one of my ESO houses some time soon, but was a bit discouraged from doing so because of the limited interaction opportunities, so I just wanted a more clear idea of what the boundaries are, here.

Also:
- services (most of these are Crown Store) like Aetherial Well, Trial Dummy, etc (by etc i mean vamipric fountain and dummy, hourglass to change the time of a day and others), some are free as Armory or crafted dummies (or CWC Precursor dummy)
- transmute station
- dye/outfit station
- some Conservatory/plants like Scuttlebloom (i guess UESP has them all) and trees (there is a Crown Store tree changing its season)
- fountains and statues (especially Crown Store ones)
..
well, i guess all-knowing UESP will help you better than me https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Furnishings_by_Behavior/Interactable

i think you got most of the general categories for items

theres a bunch of antiquity furnishings which are also interactive that come to mind (gong, vision of mora, diffusers (although these could be considered light sources), and probably a few others im not thinking about), some of these are not purely light sources such as the gong and vision of mora

other interactive items such as the replica archive globe thing, though the interaction is just turning it on and off

theres also a bunch of statues from the crown store which are interactive, though i guess some could fall under lighting as its mostly changing effects and not true interactive (daedric princes, or like the sai sahan statue, for example)

i think the biggest ones you might have missed would be music boxes and the time management devices (hourglass of akatosh or the tribunal chronometer)

Thanks for the info, both of you. I don't want to turn this into another bed thread, but I will just comment that it's a pity beds aren't interactive and produce actual results (e.g. like in the offline Elder Scrolls games), but I guess ZOS will never change that.

Also, book cases aren't interactive in any way, are they? (again, like in the offline games)

bookcases are sadly not interactive no.

though the craftable Colovian Mirrors in Gold Road are interactive so there will be another kind of interactive item

Doors, Jesters coffers/dazzlers, hookahs/skooma bubblers, incense burners, drums, bells, expanding bridges. And never forget Music Boxes.
