Aladdin's cave of Wonders. This is a project I wanted to do for YEARS, thank you for giving it away like this, it ended up being such an unexpected perfect match, thank YOU !!!

(switched one picture and added one)

I was so confused about John's place because I am a dummy and didn't realize....HE COMPLETELY redesigned the house to the point it was absolutely unique! So for other folks scratching their heads after looking at his submission....dude MADE a roaring cat head handmade, with individual stones, descending directly down to the underground which he made into a treasure cave! It isn't even Swordsinger's redoubt now...nope...it is the one, the only...Aladdin's freaking treasure cave. OMG*&^%^&** SWOON at the depth of this artistry. @JohnBlacksand , are you a sculptor irl or some sort of artist? Because...dang.

Redguards love technology. After all, they invented cannons while the rest of Tamriel was muttering evil eye curses.
Here a gang of international pirates (Inter-Rat) has contracted Mad Scientist Biro Dar to build them an airship raider, the steam powered "Zubenelgenubi" of 10 guns. Join the crew, climb aboard and wreak havoc from the sky.

EHT needed to fire cannons. An EHT open house named: Zubenelgenubi

Aww thank you so much, that was so nice... And no, I'm not a sculptor, hehe, just a nuts who loooves housing and all it's potential. And when you realise what kind of potential housing in ESO has, it's insane ! The way I do it, is by thinking outside of the box, after a long time of practice.

There is a way I think of it that helped me with it : It's not a chair, it's a shape, it's not a house, it's a space. And with that in mind, you can do pretty much anything. Doesn't matter the settings of a home, you don't have to use all it's spots, in fact if you do that, it's often at the cost of details. You can turn any place into anything you wish, there are HUGE furnishings that allows that. I made things like Superman's Fortress of Solitude, the Batcave, the TARDIS, the Derelict from Alien, heck I even made a giant tribute to the game Outer Wilds, and you would never know which home I used if you don't look at the loading screen, because when I make a home like that, I'm trying to make you forget it, I want to give the full experience and make you believe you're in it. I'm like, what would I WANT to see if I visit this or this ? So I just do it

I'm still WIP but managed the most difficult and vital task of making all the poor quality wood go away.

Now the "mine" is a luxurious crystal cavern and pool and I think what I'll do is fill it with pretty antiquities, statues and the like. After collecting up all the default candles and replacing with fancier lighting.

And the lower "room" surrounded by water will be my Argonian Master Suite.

Cheers for the free underground crystal mansion ZOS.

LalMirchi · May 11

Just started decorating this vast space. I really like the sparesnes and ability to place my furnishings with room to move.

I'm just a beginner in housing and still learning how to accurately place objects. I only have the free & earnable houses except for Snugpod which I bought for the excellent location.

My little oasis with flowers from all over Tamriel and a couple of camels.

Crafting area with the stations sparsely placed.

The rest of the crafting area.

Next I'll have a go at the underground rooms and am very excited to try and decorate the mine.

My Sword-Singer's Redoubt is a place for travelers to stop and rest on their journeys through Alik'r and Bangkori. It offers some sitting areas to read and relax and some food and drink to replenish. There is also a sauna room to soak their weary bones. The underground cave area has some Druidic furnishings and candles that provide a peaceful place to meditate away from the heat of the desert sun.

It's not completely finished but here are a few screenshots of what I've done so far.

step9372 · May 12

"The Bangkoria - Alik'r Marketplace (BAM) is conveniently located along a major trade route. Stop by and enjoy fine dining, go shopping at one of our many shops, take in a live performance, attend a book reading in our lecture hall, or simply enjoy the view in our spacious crystal grotto! Plenty of on-site lodging and an on-site banker too! Visit today! You'll be glad you came!"

I've re-conceptualized the Redoubt as kind of a make-shift Dark Brotherhood sanctuary, having Hilde and Kor on-site as its "caretakers," with a secondary, though related, focus as a space where Hilde can find the inner-peace she seeks, based on cues from the DB storyline.

ESO_player123 · May 12

It's nothing as extensive or amazing as the Aladdin cave, but here we go.
Edit: also, I do not know how to make the UI disappear so it does not clatter the images.
Edit 2: Added more screenshots and replaced the ones with UI. Thanks to @SilverBride for giving me tips on how to do it.

There's not much, but I guess that I'm trying to go for a haunted house vibe. (@darth_paul99)

Go to controls and set a hot key to toggle the UI on and off.

This doesn't toggle everything off, though: I found that using the inbuilt toggle clears the screen of everything except (I think?) quest markers, which is why I use the addon Ultimate UI Hider on PC.

Thanks a lot. Will use it in the future.

That's all I did to hide the UI on my screenshots.

This house is still work in progress, but I have reached a point where I'm happy to share it. (still not sure what to do with the cave beneath, or the courtyard at the back).

This is my new Redguard themed house: Alik'r Oasis Paradise.

A deep underground well keeps this small patch of desert on the border of the Alik’r fertile. A perfect location to build a grand home to commemorate their sword-singer ancestors.

The Desert Pass Oasis is a rest stop along a small trade route in Hammerfell, especially known for its refreshing lounge pool and washing pavilions. It's popular among traders and travelers alike with its many cozy gathering tents and quaint amenities.

Stunning, Olen_Mikko!

What is the pink and yellow vortex thingy visible towards the right side of the first screenshot? I've seen that in a handful of houses but it's always too far away to view what it's called.

Thank you! A couple of my guildies and I have been trying to figure out what this is forever. Guess we gotta start doing Cyrodiil more...

ZOS_Kevin · May 14

Hi all. The creations submitted already have been amazing!

Just wanted to provide a reminder that there are a few days left to submit your housing creations for blog consideration. Entries will close on May 17th!

Lorros · May 15

I decided to take a different approach to the new Sword-singer's Redoubt home, turning it into a crafting library and bazaar:

Googoo · May 15

A Little Bazaar where you can find fresh goods for your travels.
And a square where you can enjoy the scenery with a slice of cake!

... There is also a tent available for those who enjoy to use skooma.

ESO_player123 · May 16

I did not plan to add any new building, but in the end could not resist.
So, here is my two-story villa.

View from the entrance:

The second floor, on the terrace:

Inside it's still work in progress.

wolfcrisp · May 16

Redguards are my favorite race, so I made a small redguard sword academy

More pics under the cut

I wasn't sure if I could use reshade, so I didnt

This house is open, its my sword singer aerie in NA, im @wolfcrisp

TeruKisuke · May 17

The build started with an idea for a "Pretty Pink Stationery Store." Then, I built a city around it.

@ everyone who put those redguard windows in the mosaic dome pavilions and other similar spots--that's a great idea and I added them to mine in certain spots. It looks perfect

Hiya,

I'm late to the party, but still wanted to showcase my house

Description: "This build is dedicated to a clandestine sect of assassins, sworn in service to Mephala, The Lady of Whispers and the Webspinner, the Daedric Prince of murder, sex, and secrets. Within Hammerfell's intricate political web, this guild's influence reigns supreme, ensuring a constant stream of contracts. Whether it be silencing foes or stealing coveted secrets, no task is beyond their reach."
