    What I would like is the Devs to play some fallout 4 and see how settlement building was done in that game. PLEASE let our floors and walls SNAP together. It shouldn't be that hard I'm sure....

    I'm not sure that the OP intends the thrust of the thread to be about building your house yourself, which by and large you can already do including from scratch with a bare site as I recall, it seems to be more about using writ vouchers to buy furnishings instead of crowns or gold, and I'd be wholly against that.

    Plenty of players don't do a lot of writs or indeed any, and tying the development of your homes to extensive undertaking of crafting writs would be wrong, and also very prejudicial against lower-level players for whom crafting writs aren't really practical because of the amount of materials consumed.

    Well, some parts of the homesteading, which if my memory serves me right came with the Hearthfire DLC, are far inferior to ESO's system, but not all. As someone already mentioned, we could grow our own alchemy ingredients. To that I'd add the buff you got when sleeping on your bed, with a bonus if you slept with your spouse (as in sleep sleep, not the other sort of sleep that involves no sleep), the possibility to hire a bard and to have a housecarl of your own. Adoption would be moot because there are no children in 2E Nirn and beyond.

    There was far less customization, but the houses tended to feel like lively homes.

    You mean Skyrim where the housing system was inferior to ESO's housing system in everyway? why would anyone want that?

    Not sure I understand really, like a pre build that you progress through with some form of choice making? There's housing already so I asking genuinely.

    yes you would build the house to your choice buying supplies with writ vouchers. Like the homesteading addon in skyrim. something like that.

    What is being proposed? I never played much Skyrim but as I recall, if you bought a house and then upgrades, it put predetermined furnishings in predetermined locations. That is already an option if you buy a place furnished — with the added benefit that you can then modify it yourself. What are you wishing could be added or changed about housing in ESO?

    The housing system we currently have is vastly, infinitely superior (aside from being unable to grow alchemy ingredients.)

    Wouldn't say no to more empty plots for customs builds and more custom build components, though.

    So you would use your crafting mats to do writs which would give you writ vouchers, which you would use to buy crafting (housing) supplies? Seems circular logic and would be very costly.

    Gold is much easier to get than writ vouchers, plus I already have a lot of mats and patterns for all these items.

    Having to use writ vouchers would be a real nightmare.

    I would be happy if there wasn't such a low limit on what items can be placed in houses. They always feel half empty because of these limits. It is such a waste.

    I has put me off housing because I know I can never furnish it as fully as I'd like.

    I'd say that the only thing I prefer about Skyrim's vanilla housing system is that our followers are able to idle realistically in our homes. They can wander around; sit and eat; sleep; use furniture like enchanting tables, etc. That is one thing ESO desperately needs, imo.

    You can already build a house in this game. The structure furniture from the dailies allows for that. As well as other structural furniture. They also have empty lots on which to build that you can buy.

    Edit: I created a magical floating wizard tower in the sky. That's not something I could have done in Skyrim

    I would much rather be able to place furnishings wherever and however I want them! But I agree that it would be awesome to be able to set up emotes for our houseguests and basic interactions like sitting in a chair!

    I'd love to see Ember relaxing in front of the fire, interacting with my books, eating the soup left on the table, etc.
