Can other player steal my stuff from my house or change layout of it ?
I want to make my main house visitable place for guild member.
But I'm anxious about unexpected accident.

No one can pick up or move anything you place, unless you give them decorator privileges. I think, at most, they can just turn your lights off.

Thanks for information.

And even if you give them decorator privilege, nothing can be stolen. If they hide it, you can retrieve it and place it again, from the contents list, without tracking it down.

Oh, that's interesting information. Thanks.

Only the owner can add or remove furnishings. Other players can be given decorator permission if you choose to do so, and then they can move furnishings around, but that's all. They can't even take them through doors because they'd have to put it down to interact with the door.

The absolute worst someone else could do to your home is something like sink all the furnishings into the floor so it looks like they're gone and you have to use the menu to retrieve them, or arrange them into some sort of inappropriate shape.

If you want to prevent that all you need to do is set it so they have visitor permission but not decorator. That means they can come to your house whenever they like, but they can't change anything.

Now, I understand home mechanics perfectly. Thanks.

Limited Visitor, or whatever it's called, will also prevent people from fiddling with your lights and other interactables. They should still be able to use your banker / merchant / crafting / transmute stations etc., but won't be able to turn lights / water fountains etc. on and off.

Aside from decorating, there is one other legit reason why you might want to give others decorator privileges. Essential Housing Tools allows you to program moving objects (not just NPCs), whereas the Magic Carpet addon allows you to fly around in a house on a magic carpet. Those addons need decorator privilige to move stuff around. So if you want to duel a friend on a flying carpet or you want your guild to perform a house tour with moving objects, without attending yourself, then other(s) will need decorator privileges.
