Enable riding mount in estate outdoors

Just why not?
It's painful to run everywhere...

Should be added as a toggle option "Rider" like Visitor or Decorator though.

Yeah I agree, not being able to mount in a home is a complete failure. The whole point is freedom to create and do, yet that is a major flaw in that theory.

it would also be nice to have the actual companions in a house too, so you could test them using the combat dummies

it would be a great way to iron out their attack chains

On a similar note, generally you can’t mount inside a delve, even if the delve has outside areas as opposed to underground ones. I did notice recently that you can mount in the Lion’s Den in The Rift.

It makes me wonder what constraints prevent you from riding a mount then.

for stuff like delves i think its due to the physical space around the character, there are times ive been kicked off my mount running through an archway in some overland areas (not inside of a delve or anything), but this behavior is not consistent

i think it disallows it in houses because you can use the mounts as placeable objects, and it fully disables using them (like mementos in a pvp zone), it doesnt technically disable your mount/pet menu entirely in a delve, it just fails to mount unless your in a large enough area (such as the lions den as mentioned, i think there are a few other places that allow mounts but again very inconsistent)

Ah I never thought about the mount as placeable object in a house, I don’t normally do that but it makes sense. It would be difficult if not impossible to have it both ways.
