    Whenever I'm in my guild halls and see lights off I turn them back on out of respect. I sucks that trolls go around turning them off.

    It really does, and changing permissions for lights, or just giving us a light switch for all of them would make that suck a lot less.

    LOL. I gave friends permissions on the first house I had and they moved everything around just to fuss with me. After that they lost all permissions. Now they can only craft, bank and sell in the homes I own.

    I think you'll find...they can also turn off and on any lighting you have there.

    Which I'd like to change ;)

    It also adds to RP. I want lots and lots of candles in my house and I'd like a command to extinguish them all at once, for atmosphere or storytelling during RP.

    It's such a simple feature, such a humble request. Yet it's been so long...

    Would be nice if there was a setting that would only allow the owner and designers to interact with lighting furniture.
    Just this setting, nothing too in-depth. Surely designers should have this right, otherwise you shouldn't trust them with the permission to move everything in your house.

    That would be fine too...just SOMETHING to counteract the trolls who play with the lights.

    Many of us allow our entire guilds to use our homes, for the attuned craft stations, dummies, et al. And it is disheartening when one troll, that we can't even identify chooses to mess with everyone this way.

    I just want to bump this, I posted another thread requesting the same thing for the same issue. Trolling guild mates. The joke is real funny once or twice, but it would be nice to have an easy way to turn them on without spending half an hour hitting over 100 lights.

    Thanks for the support, I appreciate it...hopefully with the new housing subforum announced by @ZOS_GinaBruno , we can FINALLY get this issue addressed in some way!

    Screw lights. My current residence is a room at an inn with no pot to *** in. I guess my character has a magic spell to remove excrement. I always wondered about bathrooms in Elder Scrolls games. And now I wonder why I wonder about that.

    Well get yourself a pot!

    ...and ofc, they take care of all that messiness while we're offline, y'know...sleeping, excreting, shedding...all the boring stuff that we don't really want to see anyways.

    Btw, I would not suggest your first sentence...could be VERY painful.

    I have to add my voice to this request. I have bought a notable home and am slowly filling it up. However I am not going to use it as my main home unless there is a way for me to stop people from touching my lights. Either that or at the very least a notification of who has been in my house interacting with what.

    Someone went into my house last night and turned off all 223 of them. I have 243 lights in my house, but about 20 of them are inaccessible bc I buried them inside objects to create dramatic/backlighting effect.

    They found every. single. light.

    Many of the lights were out of easy reach, I had to jump on furniture to turn them back on. Some were so out of reach/difficult to toggle I had to retrieve the light fixture in the editing menu, turn it on, and then replace it. I have no idea how they even managed to toggle them off. They must've spent a long time positioning themselves to accomplish this.

    I had 30+ floating lanterns in my water. They swam around the entire earthtear cavern and turned off every single one of them.

    It must've taken them a long time. While part of me is impressed and flattered by the effort of their trolling (they literally found every single tealight lol) I'm really bothered that nobody at zos has responded or acknowledged this issue.

    Thanks, I agree completely. Either a switch for the owner, or make the ability to turn off/on lights a permission ability, or even just put it under Decorator permissions. If you don't have the permission, you can't turn off the lights

    No matter how much people want to use it as an excuse, Magic =/= Technology, at least in this fantasy sense. The closest you can get is casting a spell that creates a gust of wind through the entire house blowing all the flames out, or some kind of highly precise fire magic that lights just the candles all at once.

    This is a medieval setting, so we must treat it as such.

    Honestly is the Trolls are that much of a nuisance in people's homes/guild halls then they should just be stricken from the visitor's list, or the Guild itself for acting so annoyingly.

    Sorry, I was too busy blowing up robots in dwemer ruins to hear what you said.

    If they had an interaction log like they do with the guild banking system, one could handle the trolls by revoking permissions, but alas they don't. Easiest fix the light switch..lol

    This is one of the most incredible oversights, to me, regarding housing.

    While a switch for all lights would be better than nothing, I would much prefer to have a lighting interaction setting in permissions. I personally don't want to load into my house and have it be dark, and have to switch them back on all the time, either. It should be the owner's choice.

    Actually, I think the best would be to have it be in permissions, AND have there be a switch. Makes for less trolling, and easier role play. :)

    This issue is why only 4 people in my guild can access my house. It does need to be fixed. A simple "Only Decorators and Owners can adjust lighting" would be fine with me.
