Empty plot of land.

There are more than enough houses of all sizes and types in the game already! I am a bit disappointed of this direction, because the housing team is putting to much effort in new houses instead of creating more furnishings or polishing the old, low res textures for the "classic" furnishings from 5-7 years ago.

I would like a plot of land that has a beach, but also some waterfall, and with enough flat land (without tall grass) to build anything. An ideal spot would have a wayshrine very close, or why not, have a wayshrine in the housing environment.

Also, some variations would be welcomed, like a place with a ruin underground that can be dwemer, argonian, dragonguard, ayleid, imperial, so you could build around that theme.

I am not sure we need more villas, castles, manors etc. Right now there are plenty of structural building pieces to encourage people to build from scratch, especially with the better drop rates for runes coming next update. Ofc, more structural pieces would be welcomed, for the older styles. I am still hoping for more dark grey dwemer structural pieces.

Dawnwood location!

But no house, just empty like Moon Sugar Meadow. And modular pods in the new design.

I've not had a chance to play the latest expansion yet but was hoping they'd change the Bosmer pods.

Personally not into the dead animal bits everywhere.

Just looked at some Dawnwood pod images online. Not entirely clear but it seems like they're just wood and leaf.

If so I would love to see those available to players.

I would love to see another Dark Brotherhood themed house, but closer to a major city or something. I like the Erstwhile Sanctuary and all, but I never use it since I hardly ever visit the Gold Coast.

Is it feasible? Are there barriers to doing this?

Obviously it wouldn't be impossible and there's the druid hut as an example currently in the crown store, which is pretty good for what it is.

For potential barriers, I can think of some.

Houses are instanced but the exteriors of most are in or at least visible in the game world. Modular housing presents a challenge to that. Not an insurmountable one but one they'd have to deal with.

The base game and at least some of the later DLCs are a world apart in terms of graphic fidelity. Furnishings tend to be smaller so that difference is less noticeable but buildings or components thereof could be a different matter.

Some buildings are known to be bugged, eg. the Hall of the Lunar Champion's little house on the hill is one used throughout Elsweyr and the windows on the inside and outside don't match. On one side they're in different locations.

It should be an easy thing to fix but they haven't. Why not?

Do the developers want players to be unhappy with a bugged free house so they spend real money to buy an bug free one? Or did they outsource that work and not have access to or control over the models and so are unable to fix it without having to pay?

And of course there's monetisation.

Housing probably accounts for a big chunk of crown store spending, both with bought for cash crowns and gold.

Tamriel isn't infinite in size or architectural variety. There is a limit to what they can legitimately create and handing players those creative tools potentially kills their ability to sell more houses.

Given those tools and enough skill and time, many players would be able to make a home perfect for their own tastes and thereafter the bar is raised through the roof for every developer created home. Those players might stop spending on homes entirely.

But that silly little simple game Minecraft is the world's current best selling game precisely because people love building stuff. I think the path to maximum profit lies in giving players maximum freedom here.

I’m still waiting for a small Telvanni house in Sadrith Mora.

If it'd be up to me I'd like to see more smaller homes.

I'd like to see houses similar to these traditional houses:

Some with that specific type of roofs (thatched one):

i could see something like those houses in Skyrim

Something like Erlibru's Cottage would be nice.
