There are randomly protruding tiles in my home that look awful with carpets... Why ZOS?

✭✭This is one of the reasons I hate the "Ruin" look of so many of the houses. With all of the rough surfaces and protrusions you can't put down a carpet without something sticking through or flying it above the floor.9 -

This is the Enchanted Snow Globe house, literally no part of the house has or has to have a "ruin" aesthetic. Those tiles protrude for literally no reason. I get it when some tiles are like that in the Hall of the Lunar Champion, but it just doesn't make sense in ESG???12 -

✭May sound stupid but... sometimes when I try to decorate my houses I have a strong feeling that ZOS hate us players. Not just don't care, but really want to frustrate us. Wanna get a nice home? Paid crowns for it? Enjoy your pain!7 -

✭The reason is probably that the floor mesh was made before housing was added to the game, and because they just used pre-existing assets, it was not "fixed" for our use.
The same mesh also likely exists with multiple textures in other homes. I know that problem is also in the Sisters of the Sands Apartment.4 -

✭✭It's the same on the balcony of Mistveil Manor - there is one board that pops up to clip through any carpet I put down.2 -

✭✭✭It's not ideal, I know.
However, if you use a nice big rug and place it carefully, it should look more like it's thick, than that it's hovering:
Just adding this to show the only angle from which you can really see it's hovering, if you look closely, because the sofa legs can be seen underneath the rug, through the bannisters on the lefthand side:
However, not many people are going to be looking that closely, at that particular part of the floor, once you have other things to look at.
I think the answer (assuming they do not intend to let us fix our floors!) would be to make rugs thicker, like they are in real life.
That way, you wouldn't see the bottom of chair and table legs underneath and a large rug would hide most raised tiles etc., entirely.
If people didn't like the thick rug look (and there weren't any raised tiles etc. where they were placing them), they could always sink them, partially, into the floor.Edited by Tigerseye on February 25, 2020 6:05AM3 -

✭✭✭✭It seems to me that at some point, ZOS housing developers made the decision that people in Tamriel are either terminally lazy or just too traumatized by world-threatening events to maintain their homes like people in the real world. It's certainly not a historical thing; there have been masons and carpenters doing invisible wood joints and perfect inlay and seamless marble block work for millenia. It's just that the flavor they chose to go with for the majority of homes is "dilapidated." Either the builders phoned it in or the people that our characters supposedly bought the house from just let it decay until the whole thing is structurally screwed. And somehow they think that with the millions that some of these houses cost, we're just too poor or too stingy to shell out for the sort of repairs that in real life we'd have done before we even sat on a beanbag in the empty living room to eat our first pizza in there. I guess when you have 20k health, your toe doesn't hurt when you stub it on your horrible uneven floor.7 -
LaughingGremlin✭✭✭On the 2nd floor of Mournoth Keep, I put a wood platform on the floor, then I placed the carpet. It's a waste of precious slots but the carpet now fits perfectly.3 -

Yeah. Someone in their housing team has a ruin fetish.
Seriously. You preview a 3 million plus gold home like the base game's Khajiit manor and you see big arse broken tiles and think, why would I pay 3 million gold for a wreck like this?
And if I bought it, what would random decorations would I have strew all over the place to cover up crap like that?
Even in Alinor - the "jewel" of Summerset and it's snooty arsed Altmer - on the path / bridge leading the palace there are broken tiles.
That's just not credible. Alinor isn't a ruin. It's the Altmer capital. A broken tile like that would be fixed nigh instantly.5 -

✭✭✭YEP... I'm having this issue with the Alinor Ballroom floors that I installed in one of my houses. Some of the tiles are raised, so I get to decide between rugs placed higher to hide them that also bury your feet when you walk on them, or rugs placed flush with the floor that I awkwardly cover with pillows or other things...3 -

Here's a great solution for your problem: flip the floor. The underneath of the floor looks way more in-tact and it looks identical to the top. Just give it a good 180 spin and you're set

Haven't tested it, but someone said that, if you flip that floor over, it's smooth underneath.1 -

Brandathorbel✭✭✭✭✭on the note on floor. I am doing linchel manor and wanted to crate a base around the weedy section on the right side that has little dome structure. thinking i may have to go high to cover the weeds and steps up to it. Think the orc wood floor, elswyer floor or alinor one would work the best?0

Maybe decking would be nice?
I think we would have to see the various options to judge what works best colour-wise, but I'm going to say probably not Alinor, there.Edited by Tigerseye on February 29, 2020 7:29AM0
