Houses you wish existed

Is there anywhere in Tamriel you wish you could live where there isn't currently a house? Or there is one but it's too big, too small, or just not right for some reason? If you had the freedom to design your own house for the game what would it be like? And where would it be?

For me it's fairly simple: Take the terrain from Forgemaster Falls, but put it right down in the southwestern corner of Southern Elseweyr (as close to where Torval would be as possible, but on the coast) and replace the 3 buildings with 1 house, roughly where the house is in Forgemaster's. Preferably using a building style which doesn't look like everything needs to be scrubbed, disinfected and repaired before it would be habitable.

I don't know if it will ever happen, but if they put a small/medium sized house with plenty of outdoor space and water deep and wide enough for swimming in that area, priced similarly to Forgemaster Falls, I'd buy it instantly.

    First thing that springs to mind is an Artist's House in Black Heights, or the artist's village as I call it, in the North of Southern Elsweyr.

    The view over the valley is gorgeous up there and it's a cozy little village with artwork everywhere.

    The ideal position would be where the Colorworks is, overlooking the lake, or the plot Measuri's House is on, but I appreciate that those plots are already taken.

    So, it would probably have to be further West, just over the road from the waterfalls, where there is some empty space (especially if you removed a large rock, or two).

    This could be the view from the upper balcony on one side:

    v24VT9q.png

    ...and the view from the upper balcony, on the other:

    nqhHcoA.png

    Actually, you would be nearer the waterfalls, on the other side, but you get the idea.

    If it could be a Large house, interior-wise, but with a Manor type furnishing limit (700), that would be ideal.

    As the best houses are big enough, but not too big and have generous allowances for their size, so you can add detail.

    It should have a wooden structure and interior and have nice, even window placement.

    More like the Northern Elsweyr inn room design (which is really nice), than the Lucky Cat interior (which, quite frankly, isn't).

    Some wilds of central Summerset, maybe with a mere altmer house or mansion of rough stone. Ideally in a valley of Eton Nir, near Cloudrest wich is quarantined - for obvious reasons.

    There are awesome ambiances that I'd love to "blend" within such an estate:

    1- Ebon Stadmont exterior (misty and fresh like a wood in the countryside, with hedges like in Alice's universe, so amazing!)
    2- Cloudrest raid entrance (very neat and warm place, like before a hostel in the mountain)
    3- Ebon Stadmont interior garden (great ambiance again, just the kind of garden you expect to find in Summerset)
    4- prairie like near Russafeld (sunny and blooming, and wide enought to put that windmill from luxury vendor)
    5- King's Haven Pass (streams of fresh water, wilderness, mountain flowers, pinetrees ... maybe a gryphon nest furniture?)

    (I already did something of this spirit with my Grand psijic villa but it's too much "seaside" vibe yet.
    The Colossal grotto is too much underground and sky-less, the Alinor mansion is too urban. And the Inn room is ...a inn room.)

    I'm pretty open to location. I would just like to have a medium sized house with a 600 - 700 item limit, nice outdoor area and not be in total disrepair with broken tiles, rubble piles, etc all over the place. Symmetrical walls and proper wall angles would be an added bonus.

    Ooh, great topic! But there are sooo many possibilites, the list would be huge, lol! :smiley:
    I'll stick with these 3 for now.

    1) I'd like a Bosmer Sky-home :smile: Like, a treehouse really really high above Valenwood, with giant rooty platforms and pathways (think the starting area of CoA, with the tall path overlooking the waterfall, with views across a lot of charming vines and branches). I really hope we get something like this, because we have no Bosmer notable homes.
    800px-ON-place-Silvenar_Supplies.jpg
    The trees would re-use the vanilla models with the winding platforms and hollowed out rooms inside the trunks, with further vine ladders leading up to rooms in the canopy (like in Silvenar). And we could see the Grahtwood temple model too, with its gorgeous lit up amber windows.
    latest?cb=20150610160352
    If we want to make it super special, it could also have an Ayleid ruin beneath the roots, where the wild growth of the grahtoak has tunnelled into the the age-old white stone vaults, while magical crystals and lush flowers mingle in the caverns next to an underground pool. But this is optional.

    2) I'd also like a proper Dwemer ruin. The entrance would be an unassuming cave with some stone Dwemer pillars, but then if you pull a lever an underground passage would open up. The narrow winding cave would snake its way deeper into the mountain, the rocky walls of the path broken by occasional Dwemer pipes that exhale steam.
    EQhuJvDXkAIBEPB.jpg
    Eventually the path would open up into a volcanic cavern, with a 3-tiered Dwemer tower rising from the middle. Dwemer ramps and platforms would connect the main structure to Dwemer buildings in the crater's sides, which would have stairs and large Dwemer doors that lead to a handful of small and medium-sized rooms.
    800px-ON-interior-Nchuleftingth_03.jpg

    3) And a Mage's Tower would be awesome too. It could use the Psijic architectural style even, since it already exists. It would have an open cresent-shaped entry area, where a winding stair on one side leads down to the dungeon level (for everyone's favourite potions class, duh), and a stair on the other side leads up to the tower. Between those would be an alcove and a door leading to a backyard to grow alchemy reagents.
    The-Elder-Scrolls-Online_-Tamriel-Unlimited_20181207145535.jpg?resize=800%2C450&ssl=1
    Taking the stairs up would lead to a round room with yet more stairs further up, and another level, until we would reach the pinnacle of the tower, a great open hall with a rotunda of pillars and a balcony lining the circular walls. The outer wall of the rotunda would open up to portal rooms on two sides, which would transport you to smaller private rooms (like in Ceporah tower basically). And up on the balcony on the upper floor there would be an opening leading to an outdoors terrace for stargazing.
    tumblr_p9doyucf9T1vkrc58o1_400.png

    Aaaand I know some of that I wish for is pretty far-fetched, but the essential idea behind most of these is possible I think, since we already have these assets and similar non-player-home spaces ingame. Anyway, one can dream, right? :wink: It's funny actually, until Thieves Oasis and Forgemasters Falls were released very recently, the Orcish longhouse and a Hews Bane house would have been near the top on my wishlist! But those are actually reality, yay!

    I wish I had small, "undestroyed" Xanmeer - more or less with interior size of "the basic" Hall of the Lunar Champion, very small outside area (more or less the size of Autumn's-Gate yard or The Ample Domicile yard). And of course with manor furniture limit (350).

    Also, it does not necessary need to be be a Xanmeer. Murkmire Lilmoth wooden architecture style "hut" would also be nice.
    ^ Maybe one day, with Argonian - themed chapter.... I hope game will still be around & will not die due to performance issues.

    I would love to see any of the existing homes with the houses removed!
    I could do so much with Gorinir if it were 700 hundred items and had the pods removed. Same goes for Strident Springs, Mathiisen, Stay Moist etc. But the one I would pay good coin for is the Xanmeer house. I wouldn't be able to contain myself at the excitement if I could get this house with 700 items and cleared of the pyramid.

    A nice Ayleid or daedric ruin. Basically just one of the smaller delves in a slightly more compact form (fewer long corridors since there won't be mobs). An entrance corridor, central room, and some side rooms for bedrooms, lab space, etc.

    +1 on the Bosmer tree-home. That would be a good location for a one-room apartment, or two rooms on different levels with an outside ramp. Only having Pods is too restrictive.

    I'm still waiting for an Orc longhouse with a door. Forgemaster Falls enclosed the wrong building, in my opinion.

    Id like to see another Telvanni tower, but this time with walls that DONT look like a tumor. Something along the lines of Tel Mithryn in TES V, but larger, with more interior spaces, and several of the exterior pods.

    Also ill throw my vote in with those saying a notable Bosmeri home, using the large tree assets with bridges and platforms up in the canopy.

    Really what I am getting at is I want a real Warden themed house. Werewolves got overhauled, they got a werewolf house in Hircines domain no less. Necromancers came out, they got a necromancery home. Now Vampires get overhauled and they get a themed house as well.
    Wardens got the shaft in this regard as we never got a proper Warden themed home, and I personally would love to see something like that released.

    I want for years now these:


    - a small/medium house in Hews Bane with a bit of an garden area, such as the nice thief dunmer lady and her friend inhabit in the thieves' guild main quest

    - a small/medium house in Balmora

    - a small cozy log cabin in a snowy environment with a bit of area around it, clearing in the woods or something



    I'm very tired of:

    braggart megalomaniac houses (that one cannot think to fill with only 350/700 spaces)

    Houses inside other realms like: the Shimmering Sands, the Coloured Rooms, Evergloam, etc. I'd love it if we could have houses (preferrably template ones, much like they did in Coldharbour) in places like those! Also, more medium-sized houses with courtyard space. For example, it'd be so nice if the Hammerdeath Bungalow in Stormhaven included the area surrounding the house, I'd love to have something like that in a zone with a temperate climate like Stormhaven or Auridon. I don't like Mathiisen Manor because the entrance part of the courtyard is narrow, so it'd be great if we could have a house with an spacious outside area in that zone. Finally, I would really like to see a wooden Elsweyr-style house (similar to the one we got inside the Lunar Hall, but a little bit more polished, like the ones in Rimmen or Riverhold), with a second floor, and a nice garden, as well as a farm in Summerset with large grounds for the Alinor greenhouse furnishing :smile:

    So far the only player houses that I really like are Gardner and Proudspire manor: well structured, neutral enough so that any furniture style fits, 600 furniture slots for an average size so they are easy to fill, a small garden, and located in a city.

    I am a simple person. I have no need for a castle in the sky or an evil lair in the depths of Oblivion.
    This is why I am often jealous of NPCs' houses.

    They are often small, cute, well furnished, in cities (or close to) and in a style the player doesn't have access to.

    I am also jealous of their furniture sometimes. Take for example this cute ball of green potion.

    A house in Balmora and a house in Sadrith Mora.

    An underground Ayleid ruin house. Not sure where this one would be, I’d love for it to be in some remote corner of Cyrodiil but pretty sure that would never work.

    These are the first few that come to mind. I’ll add more later if I think of any.

    EDIT:
    Also, a house in an offshoot of Moonlit Cove with descending tunnels, pools of water, glowing mushrooms and other plants, and no annoying hostile brigands!

    I want a nice, simple Ayleid ruin for a home, something along the size of Frostvault Chasm. It would be SO easy to implement, and we already have a number of Ayleid furnishing items! This has been my dream home since Homestead was announced, many years ago!

    I'd also love a proper Mage's Tower, one with a lofty balcony that we can look out from! The biggest draw-back of Tel Galen isn't the hideous mushroom appearance, it's the lack of a balcony or other means to access the top of the Tower!
