How do we view the Imperial houses?

Vorkrunne · January 2017

I bought the Imperial edition on the PTS, but there are no new houses that I am able to view. Are they listed separately somewhere else?

They should be in the same list as the other houses. Have you tried logging out and back in after purchasing it?

I have.

Is there a list of which ones are the Imperial homes? My list of homes that can be purchased didn't change before/after I bought the Imperial edition on the PTS.

Maybe they were mistakenly listed among the regular homes?

I don't think there's any easy way to tell which are the Imperial Homes, except that if you don't have the Imperial Edition you won't be allowed to buy them, but I'm not sure if that only applies to spending gold, since the crown store says it avoids all the restrictions.

I think the one in Craglorn is an Imperial House, the former owner's name sounds Imperial, it says something about him fleeing the Imperial City and the style looks right. But I don't know what the other one would be.

Strident Springs large house sounds like an Imperial style house based on Gina's description in the patch notes.

It would be really nice if we had an official list so we weren't trying to guess which ones are restricted via Imperial pack.

The style of the home, especially if it is designated as something players can't buy due to DLC restrictions, should be written in the description/ be part of a tooltip in game.

At the very, very least there should be a list of which homes are restricted by DLC purchase on the patch notes.

Just guessing from patch notes, but...

Small - Cyrodilic Jungle House, 71,000 gold: An Imperial, of course, is at home anywhere in Tamriel. This compact house at the Baandari Trading Post in Malabal Tor is a bit of Cyrodiil in Valenwood, and just steps away from the fine food and drink at the Silver Moons Inn.

Medium - Domus Phrasticus, 295,000 gold: No one has seen Phrastus the Scholar since his ill-advised return to the Imperial City. He's probably fine—he must be!—but in the meantime, his walled town house in Elinhir is available on an indefinite basis.

Large - Strident Springs Demesne, 1,280,000 gold: This fortified manor between Arenthia and Skingrad at the headwaters of the Strid River should satisfy all those who aspire to the life of the landed gentry. Inside the gatehouse you'll find gardens, a waterfall, and a mansion in Second Empire style.

This is correct. The Imperial houses are in the same lists as the other houses, but say "Imperial Edition" in the prerequisites. It's quite likely that if you already have the Imperial Edition, that prerequisite is not shown.

* And I think you are able to preview them and buy them from the Crown Store anyway, even without the Imperial Edition.

That is a really good question. Can we buy them from the crown store if we don't own the imperial edition? I have the imperial edition on the PTS so I can't test it out.

If anyone could confirm this, I would love to know!

Thanks for all the replies/answers so far!

I can confirm this. If you've got the Imperial Edition and preview the houses it only shows the gold price, no requirements.
