Idea for Homes: Guided Tour Nodes

It would be really awesome to have a set of interact-able nodes that could guide people in a tour of our homes with each node being allowed to provide a text based description of what the builders vision is for that particular area.
I often get compliments in my in game mail from people who visit my home when I'm not there and I just wish I could give them some of the backstory I've created for certain areas.

BountyultrasoftSoul ShrivenMore options are always a good thing. This sounds like it would be a neat idea and I don't see how it could possibly have any drawbacks.1

✭✭✭People have been asking for interactable books, papers, and signs for a while now. That's probably exactly what you're after!
In the meantime, I try to direct players where I want them to go with light and color cues. No context, but you can sort of guide the way a person will move through the space that way.✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨3 -

Yes, I was thinking the nodes could take the form of engraved plaques mounted on a wall or an appropriate stand.0 -

In my hunter's glade I have a wolf walking around as a tour guide.Favourite NPC: Wine-For-All

Ahh no on ps5, maybe if they allow addons with the client update though.0 -
Alianym✭✭I actually wrote an AddOn that does something much like this. You can add add text to each path node and I originally envisioned people using NPCs to walk around and give tours of the player house. It’s pretty much finalized but I never got around to finishing it off or publishing it. If there’s interest I guess I can pick it up again.
(Though I acknowledge it won’t help those on console, unfortunately.)Edited by Alianym on January 14, 2021 4:22AM2 -

If I was on PC I know I'd use it.1 -

✭I'd like one of the Permissions pull down tab to be labeled Tour. Then when the homeowner selects that, their home(s) are added to the game's Home Tour list. Other player then gets to select a number of homes to tour (like 3, 5, 8, 10, etc). That player would then be taken to the first home to tour for a set time, then auto moved to the second home, etc. Doesn't even have to have the homeowner's name on it or anything, just a random grouping of homes that the player can look at. That would be kind of fun, which means Z probably won't get around to doing it. LOL"Billions upon Billions of Stars"0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Sounds good. I have a planned tour for visitors as well, but I am not sure if these nodes could be made in such a way that they don't break the immersion or clutter your view...
It would already be a huge improvement if we could write our own books/letters and place them as furniture in our house!This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.1
