I think ZOS already said it somewhere that interactions, unfortunately, were difficult to implement. But emotes should be possible, I think.

I had made my Pirharri seemingly "sit" on a chair, but after making her move around, when she reaches the starting point (where the chair is) - she is standing on top of it
But yeah... I'd also want to make her sleep in her bed and read books when standing in front of the book shelves rather than just staring at them xP
Perhaps playing some music and dusting the house would also be nice

Very good idea, have npc do an default idle if standing around for some time like npc do. Using brooms playing music.
The Khajiit musician in Rimen crafting district, able to walk around and perform on idle, 10K crown and instant buy.

Would love to see some selectable idles for NPCs at node points.
Was kinda surprised there weren't and spend a couple mins looking for the option lol.

It def livens up the place tho and certain creatures will still do idles if the movement delay is long enough.
Like one of my cats has an idle up on the edge of a fountain and I set the delay to 3min. So after a few seconds she'll start cleaning and clowning and at times looks like she's playing with the water stream, which is what I was going for

(also 'Random' pathing works best for cats, it's the most realistic LOL )

I wasn't all that excited about pathing, but since I do have a banekin contained in a small room in my house, I thought it would be fun to let him walk around in there a little. But he walks through walls, inside the stone stairs rather than going up them, paths quite a distance away from the node and into the wall, although I was careful to not put nodes close to them. In summary, it was a total fail.

Just put a node on every turn they need to take. That's what I did, and it looks fairly well.
I just can't use the "random" option, as then Pirharri starts going through the floor, ceiling and walls

Now make that an Khajiit racial trait

Well our Guild House now has three chickens scratching around and a cat stalking them. Couple of chickens on a loop with 5-10 second pauses for scratching about and one chicken on random. The stalking cat runs and creeps from bush to bush and it all looks really effective as luckily there is always a chicken in the cats line of sight!

However what with those, the banker, merchant and smuggler a couple of House Guests will almost fill the rota up - I hope they will be able to up the limit at some point or the 'bustle of activity' as advertised is going to be a mite tricky to achieve...

(Impressed with ease of use though. A little care with fine editing of node points makes realism achievable)
