What do we really need in furnishings

DoomGrunt624

- Instruments
- Armors
- Weapons
- Shields (other than factions shields like Nord or Breton shield)
- Wayshrine to teleport
- Bards Guest, talk to him to switch tracks (no more music box)
- Banker Guest, access to the Guild Bank & Store
- Merchand Guest, available to Buy stuffs and things
- Utility to teleport from Point A to Point B (example, downstair a ladder item to go to upstair a ladder)

Any others ideas ?

TelvanniWizard

All the different kinds of townguards as houseguests

I've been waiting some planter furnitures for years now.

I think most of what I need is already there- unfortunately it is always attached to/ part of something that devalues the individual elements. In ESO the whole is less than the sum of the parts.

For example, I would love to have the individual windows within the Alinor greenhouse, but instead I get an entire greenhouse that leaks in the rain.

I would love to have some amazing effects, but they are almost always attached to some fugly statue.

I would love to have some rotating blades- but here you get an entire windmill that is entirely out of scale with everything else in the game? Did that windmill fall down the beanstalk?

You get the picture.

I disagree with the banker and merchant needing more function than we already get.

I would add to the list general items such as brooms and mops and gardening tools.

Would also like to see some items like this. We get the appearance of a lot of tools but it only takes one slot. Could work with weapons racks and all kinds of other things.

Goren

A wooden staircase.

SilverIce58

I'd like to see combat dummies of regular enemies that we could place around our homes. Like imagine having a thunderbug, a hackwing, or a duneripper. That'd DEFINITELY add some more life to our places. Could even have exhibits or zoos for some of them.

SilverBride

A spiral staircase.

More personal items to give a lived in appearance.

phaneub17_ESO

Bathtubs that can turned on (fills with water) and turned off (drains). Sure I can place blocks around bodies of water to make it look like a floor then put a large bowl submerged to make it look like a tub, but meh.

DoomGrunt624

Wooden dummies and wooden circle target too

Planters with dirt already in them.

FluffWit

Water and dirt. As silly as that sounds they're much needed. Not more pots with plants in them and dirt under the plants. Not more baths, bowls of water etc. Just pieces of dirt and water in various sizes we can place ourselves.

mythlover20

Mannequins we can display armour/costumes on. We know they exist: they're in the clothing stores in Leyawiin and Hew's Bane.

Water, dirt, grass, and the 2D flower patches in the various zones that haven't already been turned into furnishings.

More plants.

LARGER FURNITURE LIMITS!

More Plants.

Pipes of smaller diameters in metal and ceramic, specifically in similar sizes to modern pipes, and not the giant ones you can shove an entire teenager in to.

More. Plants.

Combinations of current items, such as the inkwell and quill, in a single item.

MORE PLANTS!

More structural items, specifically the walls, floors, windows, and ceilings that have already been used to make other houses.

MORE! PLANTS!

Separate effects, such as streams of running water.

MOOORE PLAAANTS!

Thank you.

P.S. Also, I would like some more plants, please.

Windows, doors, water bodies (like ponds, etc.), bridges, railings, structural materials in a variety of geometrical shapes. Also, I second mannequins, especially if we could store gear builds on them, similar to what addons do, and that would be helpful for consoles as well, and give us more storage.

YES! STORAGE! Thank you, Jaimeh. I knew I had forgotten something.

I would also like some more storage chests, please. All of mine are full.

Also, I would like some more plants, please and thank you.

A PVP/brawl option and furnishings that you can pick up and throw, for instance a chair that anyone in the brawl can pick and throw that will cause some effect such as stagger. Also please add the new *BYO-OYING* sound to any pots and pans that may be tossed at your opponent.

>>> On a more practical note, please add more storage units and the other things that are suggested in this thread. In addition to plant and water features I have wanted dirt to change the lay of the land and ginormous boulders, much larger than the largest of the ones we have now ... "cave" large.

Top of my list:

Fences, walls, platforms, stairs, etc. that match the housing of the various zone and faction styles; varying sizes for these items.

For example, our choices of stairs are Alinor, Markarth, and Elsweyr, and Solitude. They all have like 2 meters of foundation, so they don't work on a second story. None of them match a dark elf home.

Blocks.

The three or four blocks come in 3 colors and are huge. Different sizes could open up some creative options, like a flatter cap stone to top off walls or turned sideways around a garden, or some the size of the small Elsweyr platform for stone balconies, walkways, or steps.

Stairs and railings (and planks I guess?)

Wooden stairs, please. Short versions of stairs, too.

Horizontal handrails of various styles, materials, and lengths. Loose rails and support components for custom slanted stuff.

I don't like the idea of daedric platforms or argonian lattices to ramp everywhere. But, homemade stairs aren't usually nicely walkable. There's a trick where you can bury a plank in your shelf-steps, but planks are a million feet long. The item is called 'rough plank, long' but where's the normal and short versions?

Rotation axes, align, and straighten

What are these axes? They should go through the logical axes of the object but do not. Rotating something like a painting or block is not intuitive.

Align and straighten are tempermental.

Lighting

I would like some uniformity to the light intensity and spread of things like candles, lanterns, and the like. Indoril candles are very weak. Small psijic globes are way brighter than the large ones despite costing less materials to make.

Light bleed through (what should be) solid surfaces is annoying.

If there are solutions to some of these already I would love to hear them!

I would like to see a variety of containers that do this with different materials. Like the feeding troughs have an empty/food/water toggles. Pots/vases have a water/dirt/empty option.

More plants that are designed in a way that you can stick them into more of the pots, so many have stems that go off in odd directions.

More fields of colorful flowers for ground cover.

A larger hist tree with the colorful glowing hist flowers.

More groupings of stuff to go on shelves that can be crafted. Empty shelves are the bane of my existence, and most of the newer pre-filled items are a mess in how they are filled and don't look that great.

Readable books that align better so they aren't a major PITA to place on stuff.

Ienaore

Windows, stained glass
Structure (Doors, walls, wooden or stone, stairs, floors that aren't 10 foot thick)
Buildings
Water bodies
Baths, bassins, pools
Planters
Plants
Mushrooms, tiny and very big ones
Flower fields
Water flowers/plants
Soil
Clutter decorating.
More slots. MORE SLOTS.

Eccentric_Vampire

I'd like some open books and alchemy ingredients to put in my study. Some wrought iron fencing and rose bushes for the yard would be nice, too. I want more clutter in general, especially small things that actually fit on my bookshelves.

Supreme_Atromancer

It really boggles my mind that weapons, weapon racks, target dummies aren't available as furnishings. The ones in the base game are perfect, I don't need some weird, flashy ones with saturated textures that don't fit in with anything. How is it not a no-brainer that a fundamental furnishing need for mighty heroes and warriors living in a world of sword and sorcery is a basic armoury? Do they really believe no one would ever want them, or has it just never occurred at all to the people selecting furnishings how important they might be.

Basic weapon and armour pieces would also be amazing.

I agree it would be fantastic if we could get mannequins upon which we can display our armour. Maybe a bit more challenging to implement, but one of my biggest desires for housing.

I also agree that having soil/planter boxes etc are a confusingly obvious oversight. Basic ones like those already seen in the world are essential. Additionally, another dear wish would be to have ones you could plant with your own food or alchemy items. Nothing economy-breaking is necessary, but just another really cool use for housing that I strongly suspect would at a lot of value and desirability to housing.

More containers! Wardrobes, cupboards and barrels with a few slots each would be amazing, because they would add further functionality and interact-ability to housing. I personally didn't see the need for the weird, random-looking coffers and chests they gave us that don't fit in with anything at all when they have always had at their disposal the basic furnishings that would behave as they do in the rest of Tamriel. Racial variants of each one would be nice so that they could coordinate with our Khajiit or Nordic decor. Maybe just one or two with each new furnishing style?

More magic! Tea cups and pretty vases are all well-and-good, but a sorcerer's options for the magical arcaneum or chironaseum are very limited. Give me more summoning circles or geometric rune patterns. Implements like sickles, knives, more scrolls! Generic magical effects or permanent specific spell effects. Arcane barriers. Bound flame atronach guardians.

I think more structures would be good, to be able to make satisfying structures for the "open" housing plots such as Moon Sugar Meadow or Surreal Estate. Some complete structures would be pretty epic - I don't know to what degree they have the scope to do that sort of thing, though.

Oh, and a personal one: racial style boats! There's an awesome nordic longship I have nowhere to put, and meanwhile my Tel Galen has docks suggesting my character might receive visitors from the Telvanni Peninsula, but there's no furnishing Dunmer boat to complete the illusion, even though beautiful examples, both large and small exist in the game.

Lugaldu

It would be nice to have a variety of fishing equipment. Various fishing rods, nets and, above all, containers with baits in them, as well as plates on which baits and hooks are prepared.

Warndihr

I like the ideas here, they could be achivment unlocks.
- Instruments - When you played any instrument 1000 times, Achievment - Bard... or something, you could buy Instrument furnitures or crafting motifs
- Armors - Achivement - When you fully researched all items and traits
- Weapons - Achivement - When you fully researched all items and traits
- Shields (other than factions shields like Nord or Breton shield) When you fully researched all items and traits
- Wayshrine to teleport - Achivement - When you found all Wayshrines in the game (should still cost gold to use)
- Bards Guest, talk to him to switch tracks (no more music box) - Achievment - When you played any instrument 1000 times
- Banker Guest, access to the Guild Bank & Store
- Merchand Guest, available to Buy stuffs and things

I’d like to see a lot of the base game structural furnishings (Breton, Dark Elf, Wood Elf are common requests from what I’ve noticed) as well as assets like chicken coops, wooden fences, stables, grass/2D plant textures, as well as the already mentioned dirt, water, stained glass windows and personal items.

I’d also like to see more use of housing tools, like a toggled night/day cycle, a weather cycle, light intensity, interior brightness slider, ect. As well as an option to repair the more run down/broken aspects of the house itself. Another thing would be the ability to color/dye/change texture on many structural and parlor items.

MornaBaine

1. A day/night toggle. There's no reason we can't decide what time of day we'd like it to be in our homes. It's a drag when my vampire wants to throw a party and it's a blazing bright afternoon! What's more, ZOS already has the ability to give this to us.

2. Structural items! Wooden staircases in both fancy and plain versions. Spiral, curved and straight with a landing piece as well. WINDOWS! All kinds of windows. MORE DOORS! Doorways, walls and floors as well as ROOF PIECES!

Just give us more things like Moonsugar Meadow and let us build to suit...but give us the items we need to do so easily!

Lady_Galadhiel

Writ boards and drop off furniture so we can finally do writs at our homes if we wish so.
I would pay good crowns for that.
