I want to thank the devs from the bottom of my heart!!!

I've been waiting on this day for a very long time. I am a housing enthusiasts and I'm guilty of using effects...sometimes many effects, lol.

I go to my house today and EVERYTHING IS ON!!! I'M LIKE NOOOO WAY!!! So, I travel to another house, and I can see all of the visual effects!!!!!

You have no idea how happy I am. This is amazing!!! Thank you for whatever you did to fix this!!!

Edit*
I made a video to show what I was talking about with the visual effects. I hope you enjoy!

    What do you mean by effects?

    Can you give an example?

    I made a quick video and added it to my op. To me, this is already an amazing update just from the standpoint of having the housing visuals fixed.

    Thx Zos!

    Oh cool! Thank you for the video! I didn't know effects had a habit of turning off if there were a lot in one place. :)

    What are the birds from in the beginning of the video? When you first come into Seaveil Spire? They look so amazing.

    EDIT: Also wanted to add. That's a pretty sweet looking atronach you made

    Hermaeus Mora had to tell us where the visual effects switches were. You'd think the Prince of Knowledge would have told us sooner...

    Jokes aside, really glad everything is working as intended and you're able to enjoy your amazing looking homes, @VvwvenomwvV

    Hello.

    The birds are from Statue, Kynareth's Blessings. I flipped the statue upside-down and sunk it into the ground just for the effects. I'm definitely going to buy more of these statues when they come back around!

    I main a necro so I'm not gonna cast too much of a glare but I do hope the terms were good. Never bargain without a rock solid contract.

    @ZOS_Kevin Could you ask him or perhaps Meridia or some Divine for a solution to all the light bleeding that happened around three years ago during Stonethorn dlc. It's weird seeing lights going through everything, which is not restricted to housing, but happens everywhere.

    (This is not about the light bleeding that happens when you clip lights into wall, floor etc in housing, but the visual bug @Fischblut brings up in this thread Visual bug with some light sources
    [Lie] Of course! I don't even worship Daedra!

    Don't the visual effects only work for the player to see? I mean, if another player comes to your house, they won't see them. Right? I'd like to be wrong! ;)

    You might be thinking of an addon called Essential Housing Tools, which has a variety of it's own special effects. Only people who have the addon would be able to see these; if someone goes to a house with EHT special effects and does not have the EHT addon, they won't see any of them.


    But the OP is talking about "canon" in-game effects that the game automatically has. For instance, he just shared info with me about a bird flock effect that the Statue of Kynareth comes with (see above comment).

    I assume they didn't fix the lights out issue either, where you walk into one part of the house and back in and all the lights are off.

    This whole scene was dead, I just assumed it was something to do with the house. I left it as it was but everything was dark... I am ecstatic to learn its working. Thank you.image.png
