The columns in “Dancing Waters Wellspring” and the new “High Elf Columns” don't match

Lugaldu · June 28

As the title suggests, I've noticed that the columns in “Dancing Waters Wellspring” and the new “High Elf Columns, Tall Ancient Ornate” don't match. More specifically: the columns inside the house are slightly larger than the ones you can craft yourself or buy in the Housing Store. Why is that?

See here:

I wanted to reconstruct the Tribune, but the columns still aren't perfect because the new ones don't fit directly onto the remains of the old ones. It looks okay from a distance, but up close it's disturbing.

This is a consistent issue with structural furnishings in ESO. Things just… don’t match up. Doors don’t properly fit in doorframes, doorframes don’t match up with walls because there’s decorative panels that have a different sizes, pillars don’t match up with walls, etc.

I don’t know if it’s just sloppiness/lack of QA or that ZOS is afraid the housingmancer community can create better looking houses than they can.

I didn´t check that one because I needed the columns with larger capital for the reconstruction.

Sunport doorway & Sunport wall spring to mind as the worst offender. Their heights are slightly different (door way is 2cm taller), the depth on the wooden part is 1cm different, and the wooden parts have different patterns.

I remember floorings that aren't perfectly square-shaped and where the engraved pattern on the surface is so irregular that you must micromanage with care their position when you use several identical floorings to cover up a house floor or ceiling (which I did it in at least three houses). It's a nightmare.
