30 Slot Challenge: show off your Inns!

sueblue · July 2019

I know it's tough to only have 30 slots to decorate but necessity is the Mother of invention, right?

Every time I take on decorating an Inn my brain goes into overdrive on how to use the constraints in the best way.

EHT is a fantastic resource and can make 30 slots 3 million slots but that's not what I am looking for here... I want to see how decorators/engineers made use of the limitations.

The reason this topic came to mind is because I just finished a Saint Delyn's Spa:

Can't wait to see your creativity!

Congratulations. My imagination is not as great as yours though. Will post mine later.

Congrats, looks really nice! Well done!

You can place your mount on the ceiling to save space. lmao

Surely I Jest.....

Lovely idea ! I only furnished one, the Flaming Nux Deluxe Garret, and treated it as a "normal" house.

My bad. I deleted the pictures because when I went to check it really really was NOT a 30 slot limit so it was pretty much cheating.

I'll keep admiring you guys' creativity from afar then

sueblue · July 2019

@dtsharples - love the idea of the Orcish Ambassador Suite! Great lighting in all your builds.

@Silvervind - nice use of plant life.

@wenchmore420b14_ESO - you should make something out of the banner

Seeing this thread finally made me decorate my Saint Delyn Penthouse. I like this Inn room, however, I find it uncomfortably dark. This was my first, and undoubtedly clumsy, attempt with the Essential Housing Tools special effects, in this case adding global lighting. I added the home to Open Houses as "S'Rasin's Penthouse" and I published the special effect to the community.

The Inn room is the humble abode of my main character, Cathay Khajiit S'Rasin, a battle scarred Fighters Guild veteran. He and his cousin Ash Ra'shan have recently started exploring ancient ruins, in an attempt to find enough loot to buy back the property of their family, decimated by the Knahaten flu.

I hope you like it.

Flaming nix isn't 30?

I lost a contest with this, but still thought it was cute.

Nope, it's 50/100 (with ESO +). It's considered an apartment, as opposed to an Inn. I was surprised too, which is why I gleefully started posting it, but then I realized I had quite a bit of furniture in it. x) Way more than a 30 slot challenge

@StabbityDoom - What a fantastic use of the Argonian tarp! What was to contest theme?

sueblue · July 2019

@Watchdog - I never would have thought that Khajiiti furniture would look so good in a Hlaalu suite. Goes to show how flexible all the styles are.

Just small apartment homes... I stole that tarp idea from someone else, It may have been @Chryseia

Not a lot you can normally do with 30 slots, so I just try to make them pleasant places to zone in and out of.

Here's my Golden Gryphon Garrett (EHT-free):

No, it's an apartment, so it has 100 slots.

For some reason, you jump from the (totally inadequate) 30 slot inn rooms, to the (very generous) 100 slot apartments.

Would be far better if the larger inn rooms were 50, even if that meant the apartments could only be 80, to compensate.

The pets really make this space feel lived in and very welcoming. The lighting adds to that feeling as well.

I took on Mara's Kiss. I have had this inn room forever, but it was always just too small to even bother with. Absolutely no floor real estate with the silly angled windows and strange shape of the room.
I finally decided I was going to see what could be done with it.

Behold, the hunter's lodge.

sueblue · July 2019

@Locksheon - That loft is fantastic! Can you climb the Murkmire ramp at that angle?

Thank you, sueblue!
Sadly, no. You can only really view that area by activating Ezabi, the Banker. The camera angle will change to interact with her, and then you can view her little niche. That's not to say I couldn't angle the ramp to do so, but I was trying to capitalize on the vertical space. The idea came to me when I realized that there are no beds short enough to place on the side walls. (Unless you use a fur, or bamboo mat.)

I made a fancy bathroom in the Alinor Inn room.

faolan2018 · July 2019

all of these rooms are awesome.

10 out of 10.

Sovaliah · July 2019

Here is my St. Delyn's room! My goal was to recreate the look of the loading screen, but as I got close to that 30/30 limit I had to make some choices of what to include, so it did end up being a little personalized.

UrbanMonk · July 2019

I'd like to show 4 places from my 2 different accounts on EU- and US-server
Hope you like them
1. .. after a 6th-House raid as you might find in "old" Morrowind

2. sort of a temple

3. a madman's hoard

4. a private art gallery

theskymoves · July 2019

deleted; my efforts are embarrassingly bad by comparison *slinks off in shame*

Elissn · July 2019

Only did the Delyn inn room so far. I tried to turn it into an appartment for my Khajiiti family: Paneera, her Senche sister Rhaleen and Rhaleen's young daughter J'Zirrha.
