These may have been raised already, but my 2 biggest issues:
- Lighting that doesn't pass through walls. At all. Including floors & ceilings.
- Being able to set the ambient lighting for a room. Some rooms I'd like darker. Some rooms I'd like lighter. I've had rooms where I've put lighting above, all over the walls, on structures, and there are still dark patches in what I wanted to be a well-lit room. Drives me crazy.

There are, again, many really good suggestions here.

I will be impressed if and when there is any follow-through on these suggested improvements.

So, I also asked in a thread previously about bards, and I am pleased with the music boxes as this was also made as part of the bard suggestion (either-or from me at the time) While I understand the frustration of not seeing everything, they have released some of the requests asked for such as the cauldron style provisioning table and more structure items we obtained from Elsweyr. They do come through with things we want.
I would love to have more things to buy with gold from every housing goods merchant that go with the zone the merchant located within. So Example: Hews Bane Housing merchant have more rocks, walls, windows, shutters and plants that can be found in Hews Bane.

I want a small lush oasis creek home in Hews Bane (the winding creek just south of Zhets Displeasure Wayshrine) would be wonderful to have it as 400-600 slots home, possibly a murkmire (Reed-thatch style house, seeing how the near by world boss has reed- thatch structure near it) or small or maybe more HewsBane plaster style?

Writ boards AND turn-in crates... a greater quality of life improvement than anything else that could ever be added

Remains-Silent as an Assistant - can you imagine the pain of doing writs on 18 toons then going to the outlaw refuge and hitting that loading screen ever single day to get your alchemy mats from Remains-Silent?

Guild vendor - to place things for sales, and where others can purchase things much like it works in Cyrodiil for captured keeps... imagine the increase of foot traffic to houses based on that

Drop box - a storage chest you can use to leave things for other people

Bulletin board

A wayshrine

1. Duplicates not to count towards the item limit. They don't use up any extra resources anyway as they are copies of the one model once already loaded in memory.
2. Allow owner to choose a spot where the people enter the premises i.o. the spawn point. The bigger houses especially suffer from the long walk to the utilities.
3. Compact crafting table clusters so instead of paying 4 slots and having the tables actually work when placed close to each other.
4. More red lights
5. Spotlights
6. Hook points
7. Decent sized chests
8. Guest chests
9. Guest book
10. Labeling or signs to have text option.
11. Reasonable prices. ~100€ for a digital house in a videogame that has such limitations that you can't even make it look like habitable is just asking for refunds. Even if they would follow my first suggestion cutting the prices throughtly in crown store would boost sales and income.

It's not just about the loading of textures etc, but it is also about the number of polygons being rendered on screen at any one time and the calculation of backface culling and lighting. Admittedly, a room full of book shelves will unlikely cause any performance issues, but a room full of lights and particle effects will.

I have many things on my housing wishlist...I was really spoiled with Wildstar's housing (hands down the best housing in an MMO I'd ever seen). ESO has a very robust housing system, as well, but there are a few functionality and quality of life improvements that it needs to make to really set it on the next level.

1.) Allow for all items to be resizable. This is a must-have for two reasons. One, it allows an incredible amount of versatility, because it allows decorations to be used for a multitude of different purposes; large items can be used in small applications and vice-versa. The second reason that resizeable items are a game-changer is that it takes a lot of the guess-work out of decorating a house. You don't have to worry about purchasing or crafting an item you like for a specific space, only to find that it is too large or too small to serve the space well. With resizeable decorations, you are able to purchase and craft decorations based purely on aesthetic alone, without being at the mercy of size-limitations. ZoS has given us a lot of decorations to work with, which is great...but this addition would drastically expand what we can creatively do with all of the decorations we already have. That tree decoration can become either a massive shade tree in our front yard or a small desk ornament...that stone column can be both the support for a large, opulent entryway...or legs for a custom coffee table. With this one feature, the possibilities are endless!

2.) Separation of exterior and interior decoration limits. While I agree with much of the community about the necessity to increase the decoration limits in housing, it seems like the devs are, at the very least, apprehensive about implementing those increases. I feel like a good middle ground would be to separate the exterior and interior housing limits. Wildstar already had massive decoration limits (10,000+ decorations), but one of the things that they did was they separated your interior and exterior limits, because...nothing inside your home is being rendered while you are outside or vice-versa, so there is really no reason for those two limits to impact one another. 700 decorations inside and 700 outside should be a good amount to adequately decorate the exterior and interior, as long as those limits are not shared. Furthermore, if I can already load 700 decorations into a single area and not have it impact the performance standards the devs have, then I can think of no reason why I shouldn't be able to have 700 decorations in the interior AND exterior since those two spaces should never be rendered at the same time.

3.) The ability to preview items in home. Being able to SEE how an item is going to work in your home, before going through the troubles of either a.) tracking down someone that's selling the item, waypointing all over the map, then making sure you have the mats and crafting it (if you're crafting it yourself) and then going back home...only to find out that the item didn't quite work the way you'd hoped is massively disappointing. I'm sure we've all been down that road. Sure, we have item previews, but that does not really show how a decoration is going to translate IN THE SPACE that you are working with. Being able to have a catalog of all the decorations available in-game and being able to preview how those items will work, right in our home, would be a massive benefit and cut down on a lot of the unnecessary footwork.

I have many other things on my wishlist, that some folks have already mentioned (such as waypoints and interactable beds). But, personally, I feel like before we petition ZoS to add more decorations, we need to work on improving the base functionality of how housing works itself.

Building materials that AREN'T CROOKED, and come in a variety of shapes/sizes (or the ability to resize).
Empty plots of land.
The ability to set a time of day/sky/weather/entry point (all mentioned previously).

This stove:

Can we please get master attuneable crafting stations? Having all of them uses soooo many slots. Just make it so one fancy/expensive station can be attuned to multiple sets.

And small or medium sized land patches that have a decent item limit but are small so we can build our own stuff!

I believe it’s been covered already BUT
- Make Imperial furnishings craftable in game/accessible
- Have all the base game empty bookshelves filled (i.e looking at you Redguard Bookshelves)
- Access to base game furnishings/decor, it’s been six years, and you already have the assets just
- Imperial/Breton stained glass windows, as well as racial building structures
- Ability to either repair/retexture base game houses, I don’t like that a lot of the structures look worn down/broken. LEMME FIX MY HOUSE UP
- All the glowing things. Bottles, crystals, lights. All of them
- Non-shredded Imperial/Lion Guard banners
- Ability to have, or set, NPCs in your houses. Could be different factions (Imp/Alliances, smaller factions, DLC factions, or classes of NPCs, like priests, farmers, fishers and the like. Also give us a way to set the race/gender of said NPCs)
- Items with sets, or that count as one slot. Like ink & quill, plate/drink ware sets.

I just want a new house, somewhere very remote and snowy, where I can kick off my boots and relax Infront of a roaring fire after a long days slaying.

I'm not sure if I've commented here before. In no particular order:

• Small homes on large plots of land. I want a cottage on an expansive snowy plot, and a cottage in an autumnal plot. I also want a shanty on a spooky moor. I really like how some small houses, like the Coven Cottage, don't have a loadscreen between you and the interior, so you still get all the ambient sounds from the outside.
• A moderately sized gothic castle. It really doesn't need to be as big as Bastion Sanguinaris, but it must have outdoor space and a bleak view.
• More weather effects in homes. I want to see it rain more often, snow, aurora borealis at night, etc.
• Selectable day or night in home.
• More ambient items, like the fog, spiderwebs and butterflies. I want groupings of birds (grounded ones, perching ones, flying flocks), animals that will sandbox a little, motes, falling leaves and different kinds of mists. I'd love to have the red mist you see in Greymoor!
• Ground textures! I'd like to have more grass options, fallen leaves, planes of snow and sheets of water.
• Light objects that have no visible source, in a variety of colors and intensities. No more sinking crystals and glowbushes into the floor!
• I want more structural materials! Stone and wood walls, cobble stones, windows and interactable doors are a must. I also want more simple things like planks, beams and wooden stairs.
• Crafting and outfit stations in more styles. Having some smaller ones that can be placed on tables would be great, too.
• Different styles for the storage coffers.
• More hearth and stable goods! I appreciate that we finally got a trough with water in it.
• More skulls! We don't have deer skulls or wolf skulls. This saddens me.
• Combat dummies that don't look absolutely silly. Targets, "scarecrow" types made out of hay and buckets, simple suits of armor, stuff like that.
• Display weapons! Perhaps you can craft a mock furnishing in a weapon style that you know. To that end, weapon racks would be great.
• Interactable parchment, books and bookshelves. When clicked, displays text that you have written.
• Cultivation of some kind. If we can't actually harvest from gardens and planters (ideally we could), at least have a variety of different planter, flower arrangement and lines of crops furnishings.
• Fishing?
• A wheelchair.
• Blackreach crystals and flora please!
• Oh, and finally, enhanced housing permissions. Ideally I just want co-ownership. If not co-ownership, I want to give certain people more permissions. I want them to be able to place and remove objects. It should be an opt-in setting. I also want to give certain players access to all of my houses, not just my primary residence.
• EDIT: Wrought iron fences! Big ones and little ones!
• EDIT2: Wait, we really don't have teacups?

A few days ago i had a bug in Coldharbor Surreal Estate - what brings me to the question "are you already working on the feature of changing day/night?" If not you should focus that

Wow, that changes the entire atmosphere. It actually looks MORE surreal this way.

A vendor you can place in your house with 30 selling slots and only one per account. This could be tied to a main world Auctioneer and when someone buys something from you it ports them to your house to take it from the house Vendor. I feel this would be a nice incentive for people to really get into their home and decor + it would be a compromise for players who want a central auction house.

This is a really neat idea, similar to my privately refillable loot box that gives one loot per visitor x 5 visitors... Either idea would be really interesting!
