I don't want to share my build nor tour if there's no way to share the story or points of the build.

Also worth mentioning weather control again since it shows up a ton in descriptions: "Please visit in sunny weather or lights don't work!" etc. It's physically painful and annoying as a builder, but for streamers or judges too: they don't have time to wait around for the right conditions or return when it's finally sunny again if they have 50 others to visit.

A lot of housing enthusiasts are feeling this.
It boggles my mind that ZOS does not ask for player feedback when throwing money/time into a new major "feature" nor did they pick any one of the numerous ideas that the housing community has been begging for.
We already have BETTER lists online and via addons. I've never struggled to find homes to tour.

Agreed. Also Forgemaster's Falls sits on 600 slots just as the forsaken stronghold. Which costs half us much because it got half as much space.
I spend a high amount of money on a home that later turned out to not be properly furnishable without making large areas inaccessible.

Pins would be awesome for making builds more public.
I always like making secret entrances and stuff in houses, so it would be nice to hint or pin them. Then again, it's also for strangers, and I mostly care what people I know and play with think about my houses. Caring if a stranger knew the story of my house or not wouldn't stain my enjoyment of it, because they don't know me.
Anyway, good ideas, and they sound plausible!

Thank you!
Re: strangers, I get what you mean. I do think this applies to friends too: It'd be easier if these things already existed in the house and as part of the share link, rather than awkwardly asking my friend to visit an external site to read my house lore, lol (I've never actually done that)
Even as a visitor I'd love to have such guidance and go at my own pace, rather than following the owner around while they narrate. Like in contest streams, sometimes people show up during their house's tour to guide the judge.
Of course not every build needs these, nor do we need to bombard people with long novels. Just that these things exist in EHT thus in the game's API already, and could be done nicely through an official feature: better matching the aesthetics, not appearing through walls, etc.

I mean, they have Cardinal who made EHT. I know he understands us! (Hi, if you're reading) xD So I get the sense they were bound by some strict limitations...?
And that makes me hesitant about whether there's any point to giving PTS feedback about this too: we already know little changes once it's on PTS

This is the worst thing about ZOS.
We never hear feedback on WHY they are not implementing our ideas. The last dev feedback about housing was 2020.
Who in the company decided that it's a bad idea to keep players informed of whether they are even discussing our feedback?
Do the devs ever hear PTS feedback? Does ZOS have anyone working for the company whose job it is to read forums and relay information on what players want?
"Once the community has had a chance to play further, we plan to continue to evaluate feedback and iterate as needed.
Of course, this is only the beginning of what’s possible with Home Tours.”

If they asked any players on this option (and its a big if) then it feels the only ones they did is console players, as yes this will help them share their home as right now they have no way other than direct, but we have had EHT for years which has descriptions on the lore of the home.
I didnt get hyped up for what they were going to announce but even this was a massive L for pc players.

Console player here. We don’t claim these changes.
This is a minor QoL activity finder update that could’ve been thrown into any random patch notes. By no means should it be interpreted as a full fledged Quarterly update.
There is no real new content until 2025 for this game

Speaking of saying it again, I'll just re-link the OP: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/8167668
Again, There are many things we all wanted instead. But that's beyond the scope of this post.
This is what we got, and having had months prior to the preview to sit with that, I really thought it could've been good if they expanded and improved upon EHT Housing Hub (which I actually don't use due to the issues mentioned in the OP).
You can see the number of home tours recommendations received when you are inside the house and use the furniture menu. It shows the amount of home tours recommendations the home has gotten. Somewhere at the bottom of the menu that also states the amount of furniture types that were placed. Though this isn't totally what you are looking for, it somewhat does this.I wish my visitors could leave behind small messages.
I also think that we cannot see or know when someone recommends one of our houses is a shame! I love visitors and I would like to know if people show up!
