remove house icons from the map

NeKryXe · March 2021

I remember that this was something requested when the house update was released, but it doesn't seem to have been solved yet.

So, I was wondering if meanwhile someone created an addon to let us filter the unwanted houses from the map.

Is there an addon or something to do that?

Could be - I think I remember running across it once. I don't personally care if they're there or not, but you should probably run a search on minion if you use it, or on http://www.esoui.com/addons.php

They just need to be made SMALLER.

They overpower anything next to them on the map.

In my searches by "house" I only found two very old addons called HideHousePreviews but both only work on world map. I'm looking for something that would filter unwanted houses in all maps.

I asked because that feature could be inside some other addon with multiple actions.

On console so I can't use addons.

Would be so pleased if they did this. I'd love to be able to actually click on the icons for the dozen or so towns wayshrines that are currently obscured by house icons without zooming right in on the town.

I know it doesn't help everyone (like console players) but the No, Thank you add-on gives you several house icon hiding options. (You can hide them all, hide the ones you don't own, but keep ones you do own, hide them on world map but keep them showing on regional maps, etc.)

Interesting. I'm going to check it.

They should let us zoom in more in the map. That would help. Definitely don't delete them as people use them.

NO!!

I love that house icons are big like this, makes it easier to travel to. And ZOS wants to show them, as most of them are bought with reallife money.

It works perfectly! thanks a lot

Anyway... this should be fixed in the game for console players. This was already bad with a few houses for preview, but now it's an insane plague that ruins the map.

how do we use the houses we don't own that are displayed in the map with no option to filter it?

you can only travel outside of the houses you own. i think that no one needs to keep all the unowned and unwanted houses in the map permanently visible.

What's wrong with a filter? It's an option. Also, I'm pretty sure that you can't travel directly to the outside of an house you don't own, you can only travel to the inside for a preview. So, it's not even helpful for traveling.

Funny, the house icons have never struck me in a negative sense, especially not regarding their size. I mean, there aren't that many either.

But maybe it would be useful overall to have a filter on the maps. That you can, for example, only display the public dungeons, only the delves, etc. - depending on what you are looking for.

I agree it would be helpful to be able to hide them. I've previewed all the houses at one time or another and decided I don't want to buy many of them, but now the icons are stuck on my map and many of them obscure wayshrines or make them harder to spot in the clutter.

Fortunately I'm on PC so I can use addons to hide them (I've been using HideHousePreview and I will try No Thankyou) but it would be nice for everyone to have this option.

Ideally I'd like to be able to turn on and off all types of map pins so everyone can have just the icons which are relevant to them (and then of course if they need something else they can turn it on again).
