Please make Preview the same for Crafting table and Housing Purchase Tab

SilverBride

Right now we press "R" to preview furnishings in the Housing Purchase Tab. But at a crafting table "R" crafts furnishings and "T" previews them.

I have made so many furnishings when I meant to just preview them while crafting because of this. Please change preview to "T" in the Housing Purchase Tab to make these consistent.

Does this happen to anyone else?

I must admit I have never done this and I've crafted many 1000's of furniture items.

However I also never use the crafting table preview, whereas I might use the inhouse store preview but even then rarely.

For older furniture I would always and still use ESO Fashion to see an item, mainly due to the size comparison against a player, for new items I now use uesp, I find the previews ingame difficult to work out size with but everyone will have their own preference.

I use the preview feature in the Housing Purchase Tab a lot because it actually shows how the furnishing would fit in the space. When we choose a furnishing and press "R" we can actually take the image of the furnishing and move it around our space and see exactly how big it is and how it would fit.

Sometimes I preview a furnishing at the craft table to make sure I'm crafting the specific one I want before I craft it.

Haven't done what you're specifically describing but I and others have raised the related issue a number of times before -- that the preview button switches for previewing furnishings from the inventory and furnishing plans compared to the crafting table. My own horror was when I made four of something (I think it was either a high isle ship or hourglass) that used gold materials by accident when I didn't even want one of them (!), I was trying to preview them!

A simple fix to this would probably be to add an "are you sure" prompt before crafting furnishings if there isn't one already (away from game and can't remember).
