Something unfortunate about Sunport Wall, Interior and Sunport Doorway, Interior

Elvenheart · August 24

Sadly, these two pieces do not match up on the ends. The size of the stones is different and the woodwork is not exactly the same. I would have assumed that Sunport, Wall, Interior would have been exactly the same as Sunport Doorway, Interior but without the doorway, so the ends could match up in continuous lines

can you showcase what those furnishings look like together so it is clear how they do not match?

I already reported that ingame via /bug. It is terribly awful!

There’s some pics I just took. It can be kinda hard to see in the pics, but it’s more glaring in the game.

I haven't seen the Sunport ones but this has happened before, although in my example the stones do match but the colours don't!

I loved the Leyawiin Castle structural furnishings but the difference in colour between the walls and the doorway piece has always bugged me a lot!

Oh those are awful too! 😕

Edit:- The trims are totally different!

You simply can’t arrange them without some pillar in between. I wonder if anyone checks the arrangement of „fitting“ elements ingame before they release them…

Yes, I've always hated that color difference, it really limits what we can do.

What shocks me is that they are different to begin with. I'm no game structure piece maker, but it seems like it would have been easier to first create the Sunport Wall, Interior, then create the doorway piece by starting with a copy of the interior wall and adding the doorframe instead of creating the graphic all over again and getting it different.

It actually gets worse, I just did a quick bit of googling and shopping, there is a column "Sunport Column, Interior and it is the same colour as the trims but guess what???

It is SHORTER than the walls!!

I mean this is just so bad it is actually hilarious!!

*shudders* is it just me, or is the doorway wall *taller* than the interior wall? Looks like it is a slight bit larger.

But yeah, I could honestly handle a color difference better than I could the sunport walls. And they are nice walls!

(it also looks, though that may just be the sun shining on it, that the interior wall has more yellow highlights on the trim than the doorway wall trim.)

And, I honestly just don't understand why they would be so different!

I did a lot of messing around with Morrowind (and lesser messing around with Oblivion and Skyrim) textures, and the walls were typically the easiest to have match up.

Create a repeating texture, the wall is a flat surface, apply texture to wall, and boom, you have walls and doorways and everything that will match up texture wise.

It almost seems as if two different (or three) people worked on these particular pieces, so each one used their own texture, and/or applied the texture slightly differently.

I found a possible post that could work as a join, Colovian Trim, Wall, in this screenshot I have it set back into the walls slightly so it appears the same on the other side, this would only matter if you were building from scratch and wanted both sides of the walls to be used.

But if I'm honest it slightly accentuates the fact the trims are so different.

Edit:- It is also a slight bit taller than the walls.

What do you expect from the people that brought you doors that don’t fit doorways and decorative ladders to platforms. Seriously, how do end up with two different colors for walls of the same style?

This is a nice workaround, but it’s a shame that we even have to have a workaround with something that should be so simple and straightforward.

@ZOS_Kevin is there any chance this is just a bug that could be fixed at some point?

LunaFlora · August 25

that is indeed a strange difference in those furnishings!
i hope they get changed so they match

Sythen88411 · August 26

Necrom walls do the same thing..

HatchetHaro · August 26

Oh wow, the haphazard UV-mapping and texturing work is quite frustrating to see.

BetweenMidgets · August 26

Wow, awful.

Housing space is already limited enough, without having to do janky work arounds to otherwise nice furnishings.

I'd like this to be fixed as well please... I was very much looking forward to working on a custom Alinor style home but I guess I might hold off...

lmao just saw this thanks to this other thread: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/682924/housing-why-are-the-sunport-interior-structural-furnishings-so-bad

This is crazy 😱🤣 yikes
I wonder if also making a thread in Bug Reports channel is warranted?

The Sunport Wall, Interior is exactly like the walls inside Alinor Crest Townhouse. So they are really Alinor style.
