This is mostly to support the ability to take "family photos" of sorts. The Furnishing would be an NPC version of our Character's bodies, and like assistants they can be placed anywhere in our Homes. If we log onto one character, then that character's furnishing remains unrendered if we enter the house, so there's no doubles.

You can place them like they're doing chores around the house, or place them upon a stage or pedestal as monuments to your greatness for your Guilds to come visit and witness your many likenesses all at once.

and give them tons of idle animations, customizable!!!

yes pls!!!

Unique "Furnishing" that lets us place our Characters inside our House

I dislike the idea as home furnishings... I mean, characters ought to be characters, not mannikins.
If anything should be added to our houses in the way of personell, it ought to be NPC servants: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/4888637#Comment_4888637

...that being said... it -would- be nifty to have the option for a "family portrait". Maybe not as home furnishing, but... as a seperate game feature?
Say, a stage like in a theater, where you can place all your characters as they appear on the selection screen in various poses (standing, sitting, lazing on the ground, etc.), add props (like with the furnishing system, but since you only visit the "stage" for a photo, you might gain access to loads of stuff you do not actually own for your own home - which would double as a chance to 'preview' some of the rarer or more costly furnishings before you buy them...), change the backdrop and lighting, etc. and then take the picture... and save the whole stage setup (with more stage setup save slots purchasable with crowns, in case you want to have multiples, like, say one for your EP characters, one for your DC, one for AD...) in case you want to retake it when your character "family" changes as you make a new alt, or get new looks for one of your old ones...

And then... save the "family portrait" not only as screenshot, but also within the game, allowing us to place the -portrait- in our homes if we so choose! As a picture on the wall, possibly with an "artsy" filter (oil painting, mosaic, water colors, van gogh style, whatever)... with more "slots" for "portraits" purchaeable in the crown store, each giving you one unique "painting" for your homes... up to a maximum of, say, twenty, meaning one per character, one per alliance, one for all and one to spare for something special...

-> look ZOS, I mentioned new stuff to sell in the crown store, there is profit to be made in this. Profit, I say!

I love this idea! I feel lonely in my house sometimes (until the banker starts talking and scares the wits out of me).

Ah, but it could be SOOOO much worse...

To add to this, whilst we're dreaming here, I'd love it if pets could wander just a bit. And being able to take the tack off one's mounts whilst they are at their ease. Perhaps they could move about a bit as well. Just a small area, maybe the equivalent of a few meters.

Indeed!

Should be doable, just let every pet come with an set-able "wandering area" they randomly might move around in...

And maybe have some "interaction triggers" with select furniture? A feeding bowl that a pet would go to nom a little, a pillow they might curl up on for a nap, a ball of yarn (you know the one) or chew toy they might play with, etc.

And yeah, definitely remove the saddles and such from the poor mounts while in their stables...
