I hope this video isn't too much of a deviation from my usual guides and tutorials. I wanted to share my unscripted thoughts and opinions on ESO Home Tours and Update 43 and that makes for a less polished video. I do think this feature/release was a misstep and there should be more of a dialogue with the ESO housing community. For additional context on the quote from ZOS in the video be sure to check out the full thread on the official forums: forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/512076/february-2020-furnishing-limit-status-update/p1.
Completely agree with all of these suggestions. My biggest want is an overhaul of the furnisher crafting catalogue. I HATE having to scroll for ages to find what I want to craft (the organisation of the catalogue is so unintuitive too). Simply introducing a search function or refined filter system (similar to what we have in banks or guild traders) would be the biggest quality of life improvement for me by far!
Or having the option to re-order the catalogue by things like 'crafting style' so that I can find all my Fargrave craftables in one place, rather than spread across the catalogue (it's annoying enough having them spread across different crafting stations as it is - especially when these allocations are so unintuitive/nonsensical too).
This is something I've forgotten about thanks to the Furniture Catalogue addon. If I was on console this would be right up there with more slots and a furnishing bag. An all-in-one furnishing crafting station that also featured these sorts of filters would be huge!
I agree - announcing a "huge housing upgrade people have been asking for" back in January and then that big reveal being a tour system ... underwhelming; not what we wanted. I personally believe increasing item count is a losing battle - no matter how many slots I have, I will always want more. But the solution to that is making more items that create clutter scenes but are just one item, and I do see them doing that. For me, the thing that is a showstopper at this point is the furnishing bag. I have so many houses that are nothing but storage, and when I want to work on a build, I have to travel to each of them to gather things up, try them in the space, then port back around to put those things away and get new things... I just want to be able to stand in a home and have access to EVERYTHING all at once. Doing a build now is ... not fun, just b/c of the storage issues. 100% with you about wanting to be able to have access to the whole palette when I'm building.
I have been very pleased to see more clutter items and filled bookshelves, but of course now we have hundreds of unique books that I'd rather place. I'm inclined to agree with you on the furnishing bag, we can get creative with furnishing limits, but there's no workaround that grants access to the full palette of furnishings.
I agree 100%. If we cant furnish a super large home in a satisfying way, why do they exist in first place? Big empty halls? No thank you, for a decorator player it hurts 🥴 So yes, it makes sense to want more smaller houses we can actually get happy with the result. About all the other ideas, I just love them...wish the game team would watch this video with an open mind 🙌🏻 how cool would be having a real guild hall, being able to gather guildies...it would increase the value of housing and community bringing players together in one place in a daily basis.
House tours should've been the "in addition to" the main update. Furniture bag would've been a major game changer. Edit: holy crap you're a very organized furnisher, I wish I could have my storage chests like that
Furniture Bag + Home Tours would have been an absolute win. Still would have been some 'More Slots!" spam, but I think we would have seen a very positive community reaction - and the frustrating bit to me is that a furnishing bag seems like a very easy thing to add. Also, thank you! I do spend far too much time in precision edit mode moving furnishings back and forth a pixel at a time to get things just right, but I love having a nice closet to hide the storage chests (which are kinda ugly imo).
I do love those furnishings, but I suspect it's more about the fixed windows on homes. Like when I go inside Water's Edge, I can't see out the window onto my balcony, or see the city out my inn room windows. I'm sure it's because the geometry of the actual play space is completely different than the floorplan/map implies, but I would like to be able to look out the windows of my homes - even if it's just the generic patio and doesn't reflect my decorations. It definitely hurts immersion.
@@Kalam0n I agree, being able to look out or look /through/ completely changes the dynamic. Unfortunately, you can only use the available see-through windows if you do a custom build that incorporates those windows. It's one reason I love 'building'. :)
I agree that the lack of reward for 100% ing a zone feels really anticlimactic right now, it would help fill a real gap to use the bonus furnishing slots for zone 100% rewards!
I really appreciated the inclusion of a 100% reward for Necrom and Gold Road. I'd love to see them retroactively add this type of reward for older chapters, especially if it included a furnishing slot boost. I might even finish collecting all those mythics I'll never use.
Alts as houseguests is my number one ask, and for all the reasons you explained. I love your guild hall ideas as well. Another one I've always wanted is more interact-able furnishings, especially bookshelves. It's so frustrating to collect lorebook furnishings and then have to spend time trying to line them up to fit on a bookshelf, which most of them can't anyway.
I would love to be able to display a book collection without having to line up every book individually or using up all the furnishing slots. An interactable bookshelf that eats book furnishings sort of like the Master Crafting Stations would be super cool, especially if any visual updates reflected the books added.
Just gonna fill up your comment section w/ "I agree" posts, lol - but gotta do another shout out for the idea of more small houses in DLC main cities. Also love the idea of a small, med, large home in each zone. I also want a townhouse in Fargrave. And I want Bergon's place in Skingrad when he moves out. :)
I'm a builder. I like creating structures from scratch, so no matter how hard I try, by the time the building is finished, the furnishing budget is almost non-existent. Contrast this to Palia where you get a 3000...yes THOUSAND - limit. In eso we 350 slots max. unless we sub, in which case we double that to 700. I enjoy a challenge but zos has redefined the word as 'frustration'.
One more idea: Custom Spawn Points Some houses are too big! Let us have a custom spawn point, so we don’t have to walk all the way to a point of interest in a house. Moreover, this can help us control perspective & first impressions better.
This is another great idea! There are a number of houses I haven't bothered to purchase or furnish simply because the entrance is too far from the good part of the house. Hakkvild's High Hall and Hunter's Glade in particular come to my mind.
Shoot all my boxes have all my armor and two of my huge homes hold my housing items so 2 homes don't get used but for storage . All what you said would help more items for our smaller homes would be helpful maybe I would use them but they sit empty or use for storage, Thank you Your videos help us greatly
I know this will never happen but...I would love to be able to take out every wall, roof, window, fence etc that comes as the core house. Then I'd like to be able to redesign the house, maybe re-using the same components and/or adding new ones, to get a house that's truly unique. -sigh-
I've also wished for something like this. If you played FFXIV there was a system where you could apply a skin to the exterior of the home, paint the walls, apply wallpaper, swap out the chimney and so on without having to use furnishing slots. I know ESO is built different, but I'd happily settle for one home in each size that had that sort of system - and it would go a long way to easing the furnishing limit pain because we wouldn't have to waste 100 slots to change the style of the home.
@@Kalam0n I did play FFXIV, but I haven't played in six years so I haven't kept up with the housing changes. I do remember being able to change the colour of the walls, for example, and that is something Palia also allows via the use of 'wallpapers'. What neither of those mmo's allow, however, is the almost infinite ability to smoosh different components together to create something completely new. That is something only eso provides, at least for now.
@@acflory.writer There's furnishing smooshing in FFXIV too! Maybe it was less flexible, but I definitely created some 'cobbles'. I specifically remember a bar top that used multiple furnishings and a combination fishtank/spa I'd made. I'm still mad I let my house fall without getting video of it.
before using my current house, my previous one was so big and filled with so many furnishings that i couldn't get inside without my ps4 crashing. when my warden's bear or my sorcerer's pets were there, it was even worse. when it happenned, it crashed tens of times, just to get out of my house. eventualy, i went back in and took away all the stuff inside. during that time, my ps4 crashed tens of other times. so, yup. by personal experience, i consider this as the best reason of them all of "why not more furnishing slots".
That's so frustrating. I definitely get loading errors and glitches sometimes but never a crash. I feel like it should be surmountable though with better optimization. I assume it's just not a high enough priority to warrant the dev time.
@@Kalam0n i don't know if a ps5 could handle it, but i doubt the old gen xbox could, if my ps4 couldn't. would they take the time and ressource to do this change if so many can't make use of it? i doubt it. housing barely ever changed over the years. new furniture, sure, but barely any new feathures and if their "upgrade" could cause problems to those using it (like the game crashing), it only make me doubt it even more.
@@ericcardinal9138 I suspect it's the safe call today, at least for manor homes, but there's no excuse for smaller homes imo. I also have to assume the number of players on last-gen consoles is on a downward trend as people upgrade. Eventually we're all going to be playing on better hardware and there will be even greater demand for fewer limitations or ZOS runs the risk of watching their housing community get poached by other MMOs.
How about a housing plus subscription that gives access to all houses in the game and a furniture bag. There should probably be some requirements to unlock each home, but at least they are there, not like now they're simply not available... And we don't want to wait two years for the one week when we can get it in the crown store..(if ever)
That's interesting! I could be convinced to go for an ESO++ if it gave me access to some premium homes and/or more furnishing slots. 100% agree on the FOMO crown store house rotation. I'd love to see the data supporting this model because it's garbage from the user perspective. I can understand limiting availability, but every home should be available at least once per year. I'd probably group them by month or quarter so you can budget accordingly and plan ahead for your purchase.
I agree that smaller house limits need to be increased. They also need to increase all the special categories as well. I am using Doomchar and Sword-Singers both just as storage. Blackwood has a gold purchasable house in Leyawiin, High Isle was the first chapter that didn't AFAIK. I feel you on wanting a bigger place in the cities, but at the same time having multiple homes in one city has been a major disappointment for me. I don't need an Inn Room and a house in the same place. Having both Summerset houses in Alinor seems a big waste to me. SWTOR allows you to park your ship at in-game planets, so if there is an Operation on that planet you can travel from the ship to the planter faster.
Agreed, even just the visual clutter of a bunch of house icons in the map is a little annoying. The better solution would absolutely be one home that is expandable within the city. I really just need a little bit more space, but I still want quick access to writboards and daily quests without having to teleport a second time. My memory was a little hazy on SWTOR, thank you for sharing the additional details!
I would love a furniture bag, its such a pain crafting items for sale and working with furniture alot always filling up my inventory, sure I can transfer the items to chests, but its inconvenient and you cant access them to place in homes from there!
Curiosity, are you available to be purchased as a decorator for a custom house? If not, are you part of a guild that does custom housing decoration jobs?
You want a way to store more things? I've got one that drives me crazy not being able to do. Make the storage coffers. Not be Tamreial wide. In other words. If you put a 60 slot coffer in the Lunar house. The same coffer should not have the same slots accessible in other houses. EX: I name a 60 slot coffer. Stuff 1. I put Stuff 1 in the Swords Singer Redoubt. Stuff 1 inventory IS NOT available in Twin Arches. I have to rename the 60 slot coffer. Stuff 1-A. Because the same coffer is only available for one home. Not ALL homes. So 8 coffers now technically becomes 8 coffers PER HOME. Long description but I did not know how to shorten my idea. Sorry. BTW: I'm NOT adding my homes to Home Tours.
That's interesting, it makes more sense from a realism perspective, and would increase storage, but I'd have the same issue I do today with using a home as a junk room with extra furnishings placed, wouldn't have access to them without visiting. I am more curious about why you're not planning to list your homes though. Just prefer to keep your privacy?
@@Kalam0n I have a couple homes that I decorate but I mostly want to keep my homes private. Except for fellow guild members or close friends. I just do not like the idea of having random people going in and out while I might be working on my characters or tweaking my skills. Also, visiting other homes is a simple click and wait. Not a big deal to me if I have to go to see inventory, rather than have it all accessible all the time.
That's a tough one since door furnishings didn't exist prior to Elsweyr. But I think the 'Solitude Gate, Wood' is the best fit we have rn. It's just a bit too wide, but it doesn't look bad, and the wood tone is close enough to Summerset pieces. I wasn't able to try the 'Clockwork Door, Arched' from the Luxury Furnisher, so that might be worth a look as well. If you intend to keep the door closed, I think I'd go with either the 'Leyawiin Door, Castle' or the 'Necrom Door, Large Metal' as both looks amazing when closed! They're both just a little too big though so they look pretty bad when open imo.
I'm not sure what they would have to do to be able to make it where we can have more slots but they need to figure something out. One of the notables I have I wanted to set it up like a large bazaar filled with vendors and items for sale and then have my alts wandering around like they were shopping, and I wanted to have animals for sale like goats and chickens and pigs. I would have to block off the entire interior of the house and only use the outside to be able to make that work and then on top of that I don't have nearly enough slots for animals and companions to make it look like the places alive. That's very disappointing.
That's such a cool idea and it's a real bummer that the special collectibles limit makes it impossible. The 10-slot limit wasn't so bad before we had houseguests, decon assistants or armorers but it's wildly insufficient in today's ESO.
Happy to share! Hairstyle is Titanborn's Tresses and the eyes are the Fabulous Diamond Eyes from the anniversary crates.

Yes, they handled it poorly with hyping it up since January. We should not expect anything big from a Q3 update. Do you remember what the Q3 update was last year? It was even less substantial with really nice combat changes, but no new features at all. But I don't remember people complaining as much then
That's fair, I misremembered and thought IA was Q3 but it was the Q4 update. Maybe it's just because u39 was advertised as strictly QoL and we weren't expecting more than that as a result?
@@Kalam0n true! they actually announced last year that QoL Q3 is a part of the new yearly formula (dungeons, chapter, QoL, new feature), so this makes it even more weird that they tried to downplay it this year
About housing, i have the next issues: 1. Why a lame tinny spoon, fork, book or stone have the same "memory weight" than a huge srructural? Please ZoS, the bytes for those tinnies stuff are few, they need weight 0.1 or 0.2 or 0.5 slot max. 2. It is time to get a home where u can clean the whole yard. One example is Vine on Malabal Tor, the yard is tinny and full with those lame high grass and flowers, i want to pave all the yard but i cannot unless i use and elevate the craft floors. That's disgusting. I don't want lame herbs and flowers popping up from my fancy floor.
Beside more house slots i was hope for Link Portals between houses so guests could visit other places i was hard work on. Like "Here's my main house. Now we go to my library in Apocrypha (too many books furniture to waste slots in main home) and after lets visit pub in crooked forest in Deadlands" And also pets/mounts slots...... they keep shoving into our eyes all that pets and there is no point to buy them bc that dumb limit 😡
Alt inventory access could also just be another ESO+ perk. But even if not, I know I wouldn't cancel my sub just because I could more efficiently use an alt as a storage mule for crafting materials.
They probably did this to get newer and returned players to get hyped and into housing, so means more people maybe paying crowns for houses. So they show the hard work housing end game players have done. What a joke
ESO is an embarrasing bugfest that ZOS doesnt care to fix as long as you keep shoveling money at them. You cant even pvp in cyrodiil cause the lag spikes will eat your inputs. This game is barely more than the failure fallout 76 was, and by the same people. Don't waste your money on this horrible game black desert is better

The item limit is ridiculous. Don’t offer such large houses if they can’t be furnished properly.
Are you attempting to furnish/use every inch of the place?
Try blocking off huge chunks and making a smaller place to decorate.
See through windows would also be nice. The Ship has it, but I think that's the only one so far.
No, there are two others. The High Isle windows and the Reinforced Dwarfglass one that you get from Undaunted furnisher.

I mean yeah this feature has already been there with Housing addons for 6+ years on my account.
Curiosity, are you available to be purchased as a decorator for a custom house? If not, are you part of a guild that does custom housing decoration jobs?
I've never done a commission, but I believe there's a channel dedicated to it in the ESO Housing Network Discord: discord.com/invite/AK6J4XA
You want a way to store more things? I've got one that drives me crazy not being able to do. Make the storage coffers. Not be Tamreial wide. In other words. If you put a 60 slot coffer in the Lunar house. The same coffer should not have the same slots accessible in other houses. EX: I name a 60 slot coffer. Stuff 1. I put Stuff 1 in the Swords Singer Redoubt. Stuff 1 inventory IS NOT available in Twin Arches. I have to rename the 60 slot coffer. Stuff 1-A. Because the same coffer is only available for one home. Not ALL homes. So 8 coffers now technically becomes 8 coffers PER HOME. Long description but I did not know how to shorten my idea. Sorry. BTW: I'm NOT adding my homes to Home Tours.
That's interesting, it makes more sense from a realism perspective, and would increase storage, but I'd have the same issue I do today with using a home as a junk room with extra furnishings placed, wouldn't have access to them without visiting. I am more curious about why you're not planning to list your homes though. Just prefer to keep your privacy?
@@Kalam0n I have a couple homes that I decorate but I mostly want to keep my homes private. Except for fellow guild members or close friends. I just do not like the idea of having random people going in and out while I might be working on my characters or tweaking my skills. Also, visiting other homes is a simple click and wait. Not a big deal to me if I have to go to see inventory, rather than have it all accessible all the time.
@@theoldman7739 That makes sense, I am very curious to see if I'll have regular visitors after I list some of my homes.
Hi Kal, can you recommend any doors that fit for the Alinor Crest Townhouse?
That's a tough one since door furnishings didn't exist prior to Elsweyr. But I think the 'Solitude Gate, Wood' is the best fit we have rn. It's just a bit too wide, but it doesn't look bad, and the wood tone is close enough to Summerset pieces. I wasn't able to try the 'Clockwork Door, Arched' from the Luxury Furnisher, so that might be worth a look as well.
If you intend to keep the door closed, I think I'd go with either the 'Leyawiin Door, Castle' or the 'Necrom Door, Large Metal' as both looks amazing when closed! They're both just a little too big though so they look pretty bad when open imo.
Have you ever thought about holding a housing/fashion contest?
I have considered it, but I wasn't sure if I'd get enough submissions to make it worth it. You're making me think I should give it a shot.
@@Kalam0n I feel like if you advertise it in the reddit thread and on your channels, you should be good to go! Loving the content btw keep it up :)
Badly need a furniture bag..
I'm not sure what they would have to do to be able to make it where we can have more slots but they need to figure something out.
One of the notables I have I wanted to set it up like a large bazaar filled with vendors and items for sale and then have my alts wandering around like they were shopping, and I wanted to have animals for sale like goats and chickens and pigs. I would have to block off the entire interior of the house and only use the outside to be able to make that work and then on top of that I don't have nearly enough slots for animals and companions to make it look like the places alive. That's very disappointing.
That's such a cool idea and it's a real bummer that the special collectibles limit makes it impossible. The 10-slot limit wasn't so bad before we had houseguests, decon assistants or armorers but it's wildly insufficient in today's ESO.
I NEED to know the full oufit of the character at 2:11 :O
Happy to share! Hairstyle is Titanborn's Tresses and the eyes are the Fabulous Diamond Eyes from the anniversary crates. I was testing the new u43 IA Warden set as the time, so that's giving the visual glow effect. Dyes are Warden's Moss Green, Boss Butcher Brown, Palatine's White (or Julianos White). Outfit pieces below.

We only get more slots when they drop old console and old Winows support
Yes, they handled it poorly with hyping it up since January. We should not expect anything big from a Q3 update. Do you remember what the Q3 update was last year? It was even less substantial with really nice combat changes, but no new features at all. But I don't remember people complaining as much then
That's fair, I misremembered and thought IA was Q3 but it was the Q4 update. Maybe it's just because u39 was advertised as strictly QoL and we weren't expecting more than that as a result?
@@Kalam0n true! they actually announced last year that QoL Q3 is a part of the new yearly formula (dungeons, chapter, QoL, new feature), so this makes it even more weird that they tried to downplay it this year
About housing, i have the next issues:
1. Why a lame tinny spoon, fork, book or stone have the same "memory weight" than a huge srructural? Please ZoS, the bytes for those tinnies stuff are few, they need weight 0.1 or 0.2 or 0.5 slot max.
2. It is time to get a home where u can clean the whole yard. One example is Vine on Malabal Tor, the yard is tinny and full with those lame high grass and flowers, i want to pave all the yard but i cannot unless i use and elevate the craft floors. That's disgusting. I don't want lame herbs and flowers popping up from my fancy floor.
I do hate unmovable geometry. Nothing worse than a bit of grass poking up through your new patio!
MORE SLOTS PLSSSS
Beside more house slots i was hope for Link Portals between houses so guests could visit other places i was hard work on. Like "Here's my main house. Now we go to my library in Apocrypha (too many books furniture to waste slots in main home) and after lets visit pub in crooked forest in Deadlands" And also pets/mounts slots...... they keep shoving into our eyes all that pets and there is no point to buy them bc that dumb limit 😡
Alts as house guests and to make their inv accessable? Zos would Never, because that would make the Craft bag obsolete - think about it
Alt inventory access could also just be another ESO+ perk. But even if not, I know I wouldn't cancel my sub just because I could more efficiently use an alt as a storage mule for crafting materials.
The ancient consoles cannot load more items, that's why we can't have more slots. Console people, just upgrade to a new console, please!!!!
They probably did this to get newer and returned players to get hyped and into housing, so means more people maybe paying crowns for houses. So they show the hard work housing end game players have done. What a joke
ESO is an embarrasing bugfest that ZOS doesnt care to fix as long as you keep shoveling money at them. You cant even pvp in cyrodiil cause the lag spikes will eat your inputs. This game is barely more than the failure fallout 76 was, and by the same people. Don't waste your money on this horrible game black desert is better
Houses do nothing just a waste of gold or money it does nothing
You might be on the wrong channel my friend.
No one cares about houses
Guess I should probably just delete my channel then.
