i would HATE to get my immersion broken because some1 just find it funny to build a stairway to heaven of boxes in the middle of an area and never removing it, so i sure hope that housing is instanced so you wont break your immersion .

    It is instanced. You as the owner control permissions of all who visit as well.

    They're a bit tricky to find, so here's a link to the PTS patch notes describing Homestead: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/311708/pts-patch-notes-v2-7-0-homestead/p1

    Happy reading!
    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    Oh please let Zos add one more house that is not instanced - like a skooma den where everyone has full decorator permissions so this MMO can make some massively multiplayer weirdness.

    To get around build limit issues have it so that, once the build limit is reached, the furnishing that have been there the longest disappear... probably into the pockets of some khajiit.

    #1 tip (Re)check your graphics settings periodically - especially resolution.

    I don't need to imagine, I've played games with non-instanced housing before.

    On the plus side it means you can do more with it - like turn it into a shop by hiring a merchant NPC (or more than 1) and then other people can visit and buy from you, like a personal guild trader. And also some people do some amazing things with decorations. In Ultima Online people used to use things like rocks and dyed cloth to create pianos, bowling alleys, jacuzzis, all kinds of things. None of it worked of course but it looked great, and you could come across a cool house like that anywhere.

    The downside is that although no one else can change the furnishings in your house you might end up next to the guy who wants to use objects to spell out "amusing" words on the ground, or simply pile crazy heaps of objects outside his house. Or the couple who use housing entirely for ERP (and the worst part is you can't even tell them to get a room, because they're in a room, but chat ignored walls). Or if you're one of those people you end up next to the person who is always worried about immersion and it's just as irritating for you.

    Of course the other major benefit of instanced housing is that it means everyone can own a house without them being everywhere. You don't have to worry about finding land to place your house once you've bought it, or being online at the exact moment a house becomes available because if you're a second late someone will beat you to it. When the patch hits everyone is going to be getting the same 3 inn rooms, but everyone will be able to have their own copy of it.
