Yeah, people can have different tastes, as we see here, so there's always going to be a variety of opinions. You mention disliking the mould, but some people liked it because it fits in with the run-down Pellitine vibe. Some people loved the ruins Halls of the Lunar Champion, while others like me just use that house for free furniture storage. Some people like every single Elsweyr house, others only like a few and have many issues with the others.The mould in the (once again, badly laid-out and overly pared back) Lucky Cat's Landing isn't really ideal, either.
If you're not really into building, in this game - just furnishing - you've been kind of out of luck all year, with the exception of the inn room.
As virtually every home has required an element of building, to one extent or another.
Sporvan is, also, correct in saying that sticking to the same style all year is unusual.
As I say, it didn't bother me personally, from that point of view, but I can see why it would be an added annoyance to anyone who didn't like the style.
Here are some pictures so people can decide for themselves. Consider the silhouette of the houses, the roofs, the doorways, windows, and ornamentations, materials and colour scheme, etc. - consider all the design elements that go into these houses. There were obviously differences between individual houses within the whole batch, but that doesn't mean that the houses were varied when their styles and general features are very similar. The pictures speak for themselves.*Note: One could group all of these as "Morrowind" style but they each have their unique flair and difference. Just as one could group all of the "Elsweyr" houses this year as but that isn't factually correct.

*Note: One could group all of these as "Elsweyr" houses but that is factually incorrect. It's self explanatory when you view these houses that they have different looks, similar to housing from other year's chapters. Sure, they may share some individual elements like a wall colour or material here or there, just as previous years like Summerset did - but they are different. This is not subjective.
I skipped Summerset because my post was already long enough, and the comparison between Morrowind and Elsweyr was clearly decisive enough that I would have just repeated myself if I included it too. But, in the spirit of fairness, here it is since there's no harm in providing even more evidence.bluebird - you literally picked the most repetitive pictures you could find and conveniently glossed over Alinor which was farm more homogeneous that Elsweyr's varied styles and elements.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Posting images to support an overview of this year's housing, so that even if people doubt my statements they can check the evidence that I base it on, does not count as baiting. If anybody wishes to provide pictures or some other information or other viewpoint to contrubute to the topic, nothing is stopping them.I could screenshot this for you and counter your inexhaustible replies, but frankly I don't have the time nor energy and have squandered enough being baited into constant responses.
Last time I checked the Pantheon (which is the basis for Potentate's Retreat's dome and the main focal point of the house) is located in Rome which is _the_ inspiration for anything Imperial.
I guess variety is truly in the eyes of the beholder. Regardless, I won't convince you nor will you convince me.
The End.
Apparently khajiit can only see red because every khajiit house in the game has red walls. The couches are red, the rugs are red, the pillows are red......
There is no blue or green or other colors
