I really like this house!

LunaFlora · April 17

Really love the new houses!

excited to get them, especially Merryvine as it's gold purchaseable

MoonPile · April 17

Thank you Futerko!
Living vicariously through your posts now lol

I was on PTS yesterday looking at Zhan Khaj Crest. It was night in-game and I hadn't even "purchased" it to place a time-changer, nor taken screenshots before being booted. But could tell it was beautiful with awesome views! I love Black Heights. I got Lucky Cat thanks to Jubilee: it's so useful for dragon-hunts and I was just thinking it'd be awesome to also have a house in the north for ports – then this came along!

I don't even know how to say it now, exactly, without sounding over-dramatic. That feeling of excitement mutated. How silly it feels to plan for how to grind for a digital house, which will definitely be another ridiculous $130-ish, when stuff like this can happen. "Sobering" is maybe the right word.

Thank you for posting this for us console folks with no PTS.

Stay safe

Evergreen trees that turn red in Autumn! Do they drop their leaves, I wonder?

Thanks for posting

TheImperfect · April 17

They both look awesome, thanks for posting so I can look at work.

i was so excited to get a nice townhouse in skingrad but no

The wineyard looks dope tho, i bet many people will enjoy decorating it

Lugaldu · April 17

Thank you! Looking forward to see the new furniture too!

Is it possible to remove the wineplants in Merryvine Retreat?

No, but leaves drop in Merryvine Retreat house at the entrance from time to time. It can be observed as an animation with falling leaves. <Nothing big; I didn't notice this at first when I visited this house. It's very subtle.>

Yes, you can remove/move practically everything outside the house including even that big mill next to the house

Futerko · April 17

btw the main topic was updated, and furniture was added as well !

Thank you for sharing the new furnishings. They are absolutely beautiful. I think this might be my favorite style yet, and I hope we get more of them in this style.

Those cheese shelves made my jaw drop to the floor. Need need need!

Thats great, thank you!

Edit: The new furniture looks very pretty as well, but I have to say that I expected that they would use this chance and give us more and especially more elaborate Bosmer furniture! What I have seen so far is not much better than the old, boring Bosmer furniture...

derkaiserliche · April 18

exactly how i wished my furniture to look like, so happy

Vinterskald · April 18

Oh wow, some really beautiful furnishings this time around

The food looks delicious! And we get the beehives finally

NotaDaedraWorshipper · April 18

A bit lacking in bosmer furniture sadly, and a lot of the existing ones are more of the badly crafted looking stuff

Wildberryjack · April 19

Definitely getting Merryvine but I can see I'll need to put a lot of lights inside the house! It's quite dark in there.

WolfStar07 · April 19

I am so excited about the new furnishings. I can update some builds and actually finish others.

katanagirl1 · April 20

I really love the wine themed furnishings and the house as well. It has a few windowless rooms that I do not like. From the video it seems larger inside than it should be, but I might be mistaken. I like the Khajiit house too but I am bummed that it has dragon flyovers while Potentate’s does not. I don’t know if I can justify two Southern Elsweyr Khajiit homes. I will definitely check them out myself, though.

Thanks for sharing!

Laivine_Aldaron · April 20

These are awesome, thanx for the hard work for the showcase.

Would you be able to provide photos of structural elements too, walls, windows, floors etc. as well?

I really hope they will provide some new interesting stuff as well.

TheImperfect · April 20

The glass bottle and glasses are gorgeous

Nerouyn · April 20

Merryvine is a bit vanilla for my tastes but very pretty and love the huge garden.

Zhan Khaj looks great and I love Elsweyr architecture and furnishings. Hall of the Lunar Champion is one of my fave homes.

Do I need this though?

Furnishings.

Love those new Dawnwood lights.

Antiquity Ayleid Blacksmithing station. Yes please.

Other Ayleid furnishings also beautiful.

My fingers are crossed for unannounced new Ayleid and / or Bosmer houses.

I like the lights and the sprouted seat and benches and table. Planty.

Wouldn't use the antlered seat though.

Stafford197 · April 21

Lots of cool new furniture! I can see myself and my guildies updating our existing homes with many of these items.

kind_hero · May 13

Interesting furnishings...

I am impressed with the noble chairs and beds.

It took so many years to get the vineyard furnishings... I really like all the food stuff, like the cheeses with grapes, minus the woodelf food

and I will enjoy setting a beehive with honey furnishings.

What I don't like at this point is that I find the Colovian furnishings to be too dark, the metal hue doesn't shine or anything, but might be the lighting. Also, they have reused the same bookcase model with the sparse books, which is a waste of space if you want to create a library.

I find the Colovian house to have the same issue as most houses, the interior is too dark, there are no windows, or the windows are scarce and very small, with very little lighting. Why can't we have enough enchanted light windows for all architecture styles, so we could configure the houses as we like? They did very good with Fargrave in this regard.

They Ayleid stuff looks amazing as well.

Thanks for the video, I was looking forward to it!

Silaf · May 13

Thanks ZOS for the beehives finally!!!!

Araneae6537 · May 30

Thank you, again, @Futerko

I watched through the video of furnishings to see in detail what we’ll be getting next week! There are a lot of nice additions.

The noble Colovian furnishings are rather gaudier than I would have expected, but we have so many nice tasteful options, I suppose it’s something different. Some things I think we really don’t need more of, unless it’s done really differently — beds (excepting the new Dawnwood beds which are good examples of usefully different), wardrobes, counters, braziers, bookshelves (except we could use additional versions with taller shelf space).

Of course I’m happy to see new Ayleid furnishings, but I really hope we’ll also get some of those iconic long seen in structures, like the traditional Ayleid arch.

I also hope that we eventually see more structural furnishings in older styles too, especially doors and windows. Walls can usually be substituted, but working doors not so much, and the different window styles are often quite distinctive.

I'm almost pretty sure that we will get more structures and furniture in the future from this upcoming DLC. It's usually like that, so I think this time will be the same. ^^ I cannot wait, especially for the windows and doors; they really have nice, detailed structures!

And here are some examples of the new houses and furniture in action.
