What are you planning to do with your new house?

I'm going to decorate it to the brim with furnishings and create the house of my dreams

This was a hard choice to choose between!
I really do want to try decorating it nicely and maybe even also use it for utilities?

Though but also, if need be if I run out of space in my two others - Use it as a warehouse/junk drawer for my horde of furniture!

Until they come up with a furnishing bag, most of my furnishings will be placed in storage houses.

I've always found it fascinating that ZOS would rather have millions of unused furnishings placed with x, y, and z coordinates taking up space on the server, rather than letting them be kept in stacks as a simple item number in a virtual bag.

I don't think ZoS intended for players to gather thousands of unused furnishings.

Unless you or another player are visiting the house where you stored the furnishings, the house doesn't even exist on a server. It's just a saved datafile sitting inert on a drive (and a really small file at that). The impact of storing all your unused furnishings probably doesn't cause so much as a blip on performance.

Besides which, the servers don't render/model the objects that eat up system resources. The game client on the player's end does all that.

Personally, I have 3 big expectations.

1)

My main expectation in a new home will remain this house, but unlike this location, I would like it to be set in a beautiful forest, with the bridge not far from the house and a small river below. Just one question I'm asking myself, and that's the size, would the rooms deserve to be ‘slightly’ bigger or stay that way? that's the question I'm asking myself.

It will become an oasis for my camel herd, and also a smuggler's cave (or maybe a vampire cave?). I've already begun decorating.

- Will use it as a wayshrine for the public dungeons and nearby wayshrines
- furnish it in some kinda way
- look at the cave animals

it's a nice house and the rooms seem lovely so furnishing probably won't take that long. though i do want to wait for the redguard luxury weekends to fully furnish it

They could make them deconstructable so we could get some of the mundane runes, rare style mats, and whatnot back and take them off the server, but no. They could give us a furnishing bag, but no. They could make them worth more than a few gold so we'd sell them to merchants, but no. They like having millions of randomly placed furnishings in unused houses, it seems.

I'd love to be able to deconstruct furnishings, especially if we could recover some of the mats that were used to craft them. But I think a furnishing bag is a bad idea because it would just encourage hoarding.

Well, you don't have to "hoard" if you don't want to you know. But some of us are happy with that sort of thing - I'm not "outstanding" as a "hoarder", but sometimes I do keep things in multiple - because I'm not at the point of being sure if I'll use them or not.

Nothing, it will sit and collect dust until the end of time

give up with larger ones, 700 furnish is not enough

Actually, I like the idea of the OP put in their opening post! That actually combines well with using the home as a storage home, all of the treasure and loot hidden away in the caves can be all our extra furnishings annd antiquities!

good intentions?

I think this makes 67 houses I have now and only four are decorated. I've got plans but get easily distracted.

I have 34 houses so far and all are decorated except the new one, although I have started working on it. Still not sure exactly what I want to do with it, maybe just a hodge podge of different things scattered around the different areas.

Inspiration hasn't struck me yet, so IDK.

I'm going to use it for crafting and other utilities

I think I'll treat it as a retreat, of sorts, for my main. His home is the Psijic Grand Villa, as he's a nobleman who became a Psijic mage, but I think I'll make this new house a place for crafting and for some basic storage (but not as a warehouse, the spare furnishings will be placed realistically and believably).

I just wish we could remove the big red tent.

It will likely move through several of the choices. For now it is going to sit empty. As I am running out of room for large housing items in my current storage houses I suspect I will eventually need to use this one for additional storage. I can't say if I will ever decorate the house as I'm not a fan of these huge properties. If we had been awarded a medium or small house I would have already acquired crafting tables and started decorating.

Not sure yet, but I might build something in the cave.

I use antiquarian’s lodge to dump furnishings. This’ll gather dust, I never cared for player housing outside of Oblivion. I think the only way I would is if we could get a small house with a high furnishing limit. I enjoy decorating inn rooms but they always wind up barren due to the limit.

At some point, when I got time and furniture material for it ( ), I will do some custom build in it, likely blocking away the outside and only do something with the caves. Which I really liked.

1. It will be useful for my newer characters, the next time they need access to either Bangkorai or the Alik'r Desert.
2. I was planning to do (and record on video) a walking tour of Tamriel, and this provides a missing link.

As I said, I'll probably just use the new house for the abovementioned 2 purposes only. Since I posted that, I've become involved in my very first proper decoration of a player house (yes, I'm late to the party, given I've been playing ESO for a bit over 3 years).

This one's a large-size house, the Gorinir Estate at the north end of Grahtwood. Like the new free house, it has easy access to multiple zones - in this case, it's 3 zones! It's right near the end of the road leading north out of Grahtwood, and very close by are the gate to Northern Elsweyr and the tunnel to Reaper's March. I've decided to make it my bosmer main character's main residence, and I've spent the last few days adding things to it, with a mainly (but not exclusively) bosmeri aesthetic.

I have bot decided yet, but then I often take a long time to decide and execute, unless I have a specific inspiration or am creating a build for a contest.

I am thinking maybe a bizarre, with merchants from all over Tamriel and Oblivion, or maybe focus on the caves, maybe both…

I saw the most AMAZING Cave of Wonders from Aladdin build on this property the other day!

That one is a monstrosity. I ported in once and got anxiety just trying to walk around it once.

Plus its in the desert. I dont like deserts.

No real plans currently, depending on the location I may use it (like many others I have collected) as a free port location. Homes that are near points of interest, surveys, treasure map locations, or wayshrines can be useful for that.

I've been trying to find a door that will fit the opening to the cave. Anybody know a door that fits?

gotta fix the plumbing, redo the kitchen, put in a new garage door, then flip it for a 40% profit.

I don't really do housing. But it feels good to own the house, and if I ever feel like furnishing it properly I can.

Usually my dragonknight carries lots of my furnishings around with him. His backpack used to belong to either Mary Poppins or Felix the Cat.

I don't think there is one.

I used a crown store wall to block off one entrance, and posted our lovely necrom guard npc next to the other.
