Home Tours Descriptions please!

LunaFlora · September 2025

hi ZOS,
i love Home Tours and descriptions would make it a better feature to me.

3 tags and a name is good, but adding some text too would be helpful as we could give even more information about our homes.

i know others want it too and i hope it's possible, thanks ^_^

This would be such a brilliant feature! With a reasonable cap on the number of characters, it can bring so much more to the table for visitors!!! Certains concepts/houses really benefit so much from having a little bit of text along with them!

Absolutely, and especially if our build does not fall into one of the pre-listed categories.
Some are much more unique and need subtext

Anyone who’s done housing events knows descriptions are crucial, whether for explaining the build’s story, or visitor tips and directions.

Two things make me want to visit a build:

Screenshots
Description

But Home Tours now has thousands of listings, and many users don’t even give theirs a custom name. It’s too much to visit blindly. I still primarily find builds via housing Discord channels, google, reddit, youtube, and contests, and publish my homes to my own directory to show up in search engines.

Example from EHT Housing Hub:
Hovering over a home in EHT shows the description. Home Tours could improve upon this.

Related: Custom Books and/or POI
With EHT, players can place custom books or POI markers, and write whatever's pertinent – the house description, lore, directions, etc. While not a replacement for pre-entry descriptions, this and a few other sub-features detailed here would be fantastic additions.

Yes, please. Also let us search by name. I go to houses based on theme more than I do based on what house is used.

I know there were some backend-data (IIRC) issues with adding descriptions?

But I hope it's still being looked into! I would love to use Home Tours and I know I'm one of very few people (or only? xD) who don't publish to it. But, descriptions are something everyone would benefit from and that I've seen discussed a lot in other places.

Cover screenshot, custom books, & POI markers would be amazing too.
