I'm not sure what to do with the stupid book being broken.... but I did manage to put together a small open air mausoleum







I plan to add more flowers all over the place, just can't find ones I like.

Why is the only official Zos comments in threads that are basically advertising for "look at this pretty thing I made"?

Meanwhile, most of the threads with real feedback get no response whatsoever.

Part of the reason might be that it's much easier for them to respond to a topic like this. Complimenting peoples pictures has no wider implications. Therefore one staff member can do it right away without consulting anyone.

Whereas even acknowledging that we're right that something needs to be changed, or isn't good the way it's currently working can be seen as making a commitment to change it, and it's rare that one person is able to make that decision without consulting the other people who were involved in the design process. The kind of feedback players usually want - a statement about what will be changed, how it will be changed (or what the new version will be) and when those changes will happen would need a lot of discussion and planning, and at least some of the work to be done to make sure it's actually possible and works as intended.

By the time they're in a position to say "this is what we're going to do" the topic will probably have died off. It's also not the best place to make those kind of announcements, they should go into the patch notes so everyone who wants to know can find it without having to dig through a dozen virtually identically forum topics.

And in that sense we do see responses to feedback. For example a lot of people said the description for Hammerdeck End was completely inaccurate and misleading. ZOS never acknowledged that in the topics but in the next set of patch notes we found out the name and description had been changed to be more accurate.

And I'm not just talking about ZOS here, the same is true of any game studio with more than about 3 employees, or pretty much any other business.

yeah-it's kind of like with kids. They say they want to go to disneyland and the parent says "me too! let's try to make that happen". But there's never enough money. So 20 years later they're laying on the therapists couch talking about all the ways their parent let them down by not "keeping promises" :P

Wow! I love that!

I never thought about putting anything on the house for Humblemud (even after I found you could place trees on the inaccessible roof of Twin Arches).

Arciris

Thank you @Danikat
I remembered doing that because i really wanted one of those wild tree cabins you see in Grathwood, and this is the closest i could come up with.
Also the tree roots (Bayan tree) show insidethe house, which creates a unique indoor/outdoor ambiance. Too bad I forgot to take pics, cause it was just a draft and I've already taken out the trees to put them elsweyr

edit to add: it works with the Ample Domicile as well and fits better the surroundings. But more trees are required

I like the fact if you're not a cashed up "wh0r3" you'll struggle do anything creative like this.

Crown objects or writs/in game gold.

We love seeing the creativity of players

I'm sorry but I find that hard to believe since you put a wall between players and their creativity with your low item limit cap.

This is very well done. Gives me some ideas for my own Gardner House. How inspiring!

Actually, I've done yet another thing, which I am so very proud of. Enjoy, and welcome to the Maze.

I had a go at the Twin Arches garden. The house is lovely but I wasn't optimistic about the garden, as I like it really lush--which doesn't really feel right in a desert environment. There's just a tiny green patch.

The selection of cacti was quite small, and I found it difficult to make good stone arrangements with the limited variation of desert stones available.
Inspiration welcome!









The new Prairie Flowers were very nice. I chose to place them in pots as I imagine the desert sand would be a bit harsh.
I added a well in the corner as I imagine the garden would require a lot of water.

I got this same house and also got a well - lol
When I can get into game i will post what I did with the garden area

Sheyta

I remember when this game was about trials and dungeons.

Been working with the housing editor on a few of my different properties. I've become quite fond of the Sleek Creek homestead myself. It has a nice basic open space to create in; personally I've found this design enhances and encourages one's own ability to visualize and create something both personally unique and aesthetically pleasing at the same time.

I've only just started with this garden, but it's ideal location paired with it's design has allowed me to streamline the process and work rather quickly as I have ample points of view to work from, the possibilities are endless! I've included a few screen shots of what I've done thus far!


That being said, I have noticed a few points that I'd like to touch on:

1.) The lag. It seems to have increased recently for me and shows no sign of recovery. Has anyone else experienced this? Moving around while editing can be frustrating at times.

2.) Ive had trouble placing hanging lighting and maintaining an proper vertical position. Trying to align the item with the surface it's to be hanging from is difficult, and the attempt to use the automatic align option only exacerbates the issue normally. (Screenshot included of one particularly stubborn Redguard lamp)

3.) I predominantly work from a controller. Having the option to quickly zoom in/out and pan around oneself without moving the option one is trying to place does not seem to exist, do those who use a keyboard and mouse have the ability to do this? It would be a much welcomed feature for me, personally. Limited visibility adds an unnecessary challenge to overcome and can also cause the process to become very time consuming as well.

Overall, I've enjoyed he experience so far though. I accredit most of my gardening skills to all the years of playing The Sims as a kid. Haha!!

Going for a feminine botanical theme, wanted to incorporate some of the beautiful cherry blossom foliage available! Whatcha think?!

Well, this is my forest, made with Old Mistveil Manor. Covered it all in rocks, the house and the walls, and made a forest and a cave.

Could we please up the cap on how many items you can place in/outside your house. This is beautiful what our community has done to these gardens
@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Totally agree - for the Notable houses it just isn't enough if you want to make the garden lush and the interior feel full - I had my garden looking great with Serenity Falls then had to remove some plants and rocks in order to get the inside looking good.

yeah there just is nowhere near enough capacity at the moment. I have a nice house and such but really the limitations are extreme.
