Hey guys! Take a look at the new Enchanted Snow Globe Home coming this holiday season in ESO! It is literally the coolest house I have seen yet! From outside the home you can see into the globe, then you are shrunk down and enter a magical wonderland complete with your own house! You can see the tent, and even the lantern from inside the globe! Take a look!

    if it can shrink you, i think it's enchanted to be indestructable ;) but yes so much to a winter/christmas furnishing pack.

    sidenote, are the snow pile furnishings solid or do you walk through them?

    This is why we never hear what happened to the Dwemmer……...no survivors and alcohol induced amnesia.

    I was expecting a proper icy castle on a remote icy location in tamriel , something with a huge frosty area bringing some lakes , waterfall and etc ... something really nice and magical for my 2 icy related character ... please ZOS give us something stunning to admire and say thank you for this grand job ... something as wonderful as the Psijic villa since the enchanted globe house is just really disappointing :(

    I think the idea itself is ultra creative. That being said I was thrilled with the yard etc. the house itself was a tad underwhelming. I feel like it should have been more of a Christmas village cottage type home with snow on the roof and chimney esc.

    I love that it's a Nibenese Imperial medium/large home. People have been asking for ages. However, it's perhaps not the most suitable to a xmas atmosphere.

    I also kind of wish we just had it as a lighthouse overlooking the ocean. It would have been great if we could move the snow globe around tamriel and place it in our desired location so we can overlook an ocean or whatever we wish. That would have been insanely cool but probably a nightmare to code.

    I wonder if the destro staff/bow trick would work in this situation? You know, fire it up at the skybox and see where it "hits"

    Thanks for sharing! As I posted in the PTS thread, I have mixed feelings about this one.

    I like the idea of a snow globe, and it's a pretty neat idea! But, why did they then stick a lighthouse in it? Why not a cozy little Nord cottage? You know, this is in Eastmarch. It screams for a nice little winter scene inside, with a snug, warm cottage. But, instead, we get a lighthouse.

    Now, I think a lighthouse is cool, but inside a snow globe? I'm surprised, given what they did with the houseboat request, that the lighthouse wasn't placed on some gigantic beach or island or somewhere that we could look out over the sea, where lighthouses are because they are used to provide guidance to ships. Instead, it's stuck in a snowglobe.

    Also, it's Imperial. I'm one who likes to decorate in the cultural style of the house, but I'll do with it as with my other Imperial homes - use Breton. No way I'm going to spend crowns to decorate this.

    Finally, I'm curious as to the price. I'm assuming it'll be available for gold during the NL Festival (as with the Exorcised Cottage), but it looks quite a bit larger, so I can't see it selling for 250K like the Cottage. But, I hope it's not much more expensive, as that would leave out a lot more players.

    Agreed would have pictured a lovely cottage with snow on the roof!

    It’s listed as notable in size.

    My mounts are all Dwemer, so they'd fit right in, just need a watchmaker to build them to size.

    My guess would be that it's a lighthouse because it's a snowglobe, and those are usually souveniers of places one would visit, like lighthouses, since they tend to be tourist traps attractions.

    Be nice if the snowglobe could be moved to new locations, easy for ZO$ to code alternative texture for the outside scene as it appears to be static - could even unlock new locations via breadcrumb quests

    Ok lovely!

    My only small gripe is that I wish that it was inside a cozy cabin or something, that was all decked out for the holidays and that you had a view of a roaring fire and a table laid for a holiday feast, or something else festive, over the (boring) tent, and (ugly) table.

    Or some other cool view...

    That said, I think imma buy it!
