Pro Gamer Furnishing Endgame House Decorating Tipz: If you're building walls, turn collision off and put them all down on the exact same spot. You can move them individually with the precision editor and they'll be lined up perfectly! I can't tell you the amount of times I thought I built a perfect wall or structure to find that halfway through I made it crooked and it screwed up hours worth of work. To quickly turn furnishings upside down (like how Arttea was using the lantern to make her overhead lamp), keep a small platform in your inventory to dump down where you're working in the air somewhere out of the way and then use the base of it to snap a furnishing to it to make it instantly upside down and aligned. Likewise, if you want to change the orientation of a furnishing 90 or 180 degrees, you can set your item rotation up to 15 degrees at max setting, which makes it easy to just quickly rotate it. The precision editor is your BFF, use it and abuse it!

[@Arttea]

Suuuper handy tips - thank you!! ✏📖

[@tiffskin3209]

Ha, I decorate the same way: browse catalogue, shove everything in and move shit around for hours on end. ESO housing is goated. And I adore your housing style Arty, you have an amazing eye for it!

[@TatewakiGaming]

I’m glad you are showcasing housing! The true end game. I mean, what else are you going to do with those countless millions of gold coins, eh? Fashion and Furnishings, that’s what!

[@Arttea]

Amen to that

[@YouCaughtCzars]

I feel like as soon as I hit 1 million gold I get this uncontrollable urge to start decorating a house. I'm perpetually broke haha.

[@TatewakiGaming]

@@YouCaughtCzarsI feel you! All I can say is you can also chase down some sweet things with Antiquities. Saves a bit of gold.

[@Out_on_a_Limb_Life]

As a fairly new player your Snugpod is an absolute inspiration! Ofc, the cost of these furnishings is crazy for a new player. It could be quite a while before I have that kind of gold to splash around.

[@lemonbalm_tea]

aligning furnishings aggravates my carpal tunnel more then pvp or parsing on a trial dummy I spent 8 hours trying to cobble stairs out of walls and gave up after passing out. The loft is so comfy looking

[@DustinHarms]

I actually didn't know the thing about linking furnishings when moving them. That's actually so crazy good

[@marclapensee3864]

Great vidéo! I just had a funny thought... With their restrictions on item amounts in homes... They think we are all extreme minimilists!lol

[@bovrar2nd861]

Aligning furnishings is therapy and art. There is an inherent tranquility and joy after seeing a job well done with those. Word of advice for fellow housers who might be having a hard time with it: place it then tweak it with the 2nd slider (10 centimetres). Aligning before placing is faster but often clumsy. Remember, you can also always rewind to a previous position when you place the furniture.

[@PR--K]

Getting frustrated moving objects? Must have been bashing your head on the desk doing it before the fine tune feature was added, now that required some serious decorating skill! One nice thing about Snugpod and some of the other smaller homes is the 200 item count in such a small space. Unlike trying to fill some of the huge homes with just 600-700 items. If you do a lot of crafting the Gardner House is a must have, port outside and you right by Rolis :)

[@nicholasscahill5136]

Ah, the joy of placing candles, torches, orbs dead-centrally above a pillar or a statue's hand. I have lost so much sleep and hair doing that. Bit to the left, bit to the right, bit to the left. Rinse and repeat...

[@nicholasscahill5136]

I did however succeed in making a bizarre 'fountain' of dancing fish which still stands as a testament to my madness. If you want to suffer, try lining up loads of tiny fish in perfect arcs. For days and days my wife looked on in a mixture of amazement and pity. Dear god, I now need to check on it! 😭

[@Arttea]

@@nicholasscahill5136 Oh man, that sounds brutal to put together but I bet the end product was well worth the time and effort it took to build it. Is the home that has the dancing fish fountain available to be visited via the home tours menu? If so, could you tell me what your userID is so that I could check it out maybe? :)

[@nicholasscahill5136]

​@@ArtteaWell the fish are hidden away in the Grand Psijic Villa. Still under minor construction as the neverending light sky on the outside of that property drives me insane. Just looking at them made me shudder. I prefer my Mathisen but there you go. Haven't listed the Christmas one yet. I'm on the European server as SandowsGuns. Prepare for disappointment!

[@Moon-Reacher]

Great Snugpod! I'm not into using Home Tours, unless they update with necessary UI.

Love your aesthetic 😫

[@davery07]

Great video. Although I've been playing this game for years, I've yet to get into housing, however you've inspired me to give this more thought. Much thanks! :)

[@Arttea]

I'm happy to hear it! :D Even if you're not super into decorating, I would say that the ESO housing side of things may still be worth exploring just for the sheer convenience that it can offer - having things like an ultimate-refilling well or crafting stations a few steps away from the front door of your home is pretty damn handy in a lot of situations 💯

[@davery07]

@@Arttea Thanks. And i think good old Snugpod is a good place to start (have only used it for fast travel ha). :)

[@kajuszka979]

I just bought this one. Thanks for ideas

[@franknovak5704]

I have a love-hate relationship with ESO housing. Love creating furnishings and arranging everything, but hate the scarcity of plans and mats. You worked on Snugpod. That's great. Now try Stone Eagle Aerie! Good luck getting the Arkthzand Sprockets, Dwemer Frames, rare Markath/Dwemer plans, and all the other resources needed to do even a little bit in that house. A player can do "all the things" for months and still have virtually nothing to show for it.

[@elderwiz3165]

Nice! Amazing you managed to get all those items in there while still staying within the limit.

[@Arttea]

Thanks! Yeah surprisingly the Snugpod player home has a furnishing limit of 200 (for peeps with an eso plus sub, 100 for those without one) which was pretty generous considering how small of a home it is. I ended up using 170/200 slots to make the home :)

[@DustinHarms]

Wow, Arttea getting kinda fired up around 4:30 lol Turns out the usually-toned-down VO goes a little crazy when faced with the struggle of aligning furniture. XD

[@roscuro9838]

I'm definitely in the progress of making my snugpod a crafting hut. Only need 1 more master crafting station, then I'll slowly start working on shoving attunables into them. All in good time. Still need to try out making a second floor to give myself more space to work. On another note, wouldn't mind some trading tips with how whack the market is right now. Wasn't lucky enough to get the ebonsteel cuirass last midyear mayhem, and the grab bag for it is ridiculously bloated. However, tradeable style pages for it can't be obtained anymore, so they're ridiculously expensive. :(

[@Arttea]

The market is in a pretty terrible place for traders at the moment, so much so that I'm barely participating in the trading scene myself. In time I may decide to tackle this topic in a video, but until then, I will try to sprinkle in trading tips in my videos any time I can! It has been a lot harder to predict the way that the market behaves in recent times. For now, I would recommend trying to sell housing-related items, such as newer (and even older) structural furnishings that drop from DLC daily reward boxes, as well as style materials that drop from the same dailies - think: Culanda Lacquer, Stendarr Stamps, etc. There is going to be an official ESO livestream on the 10th I believe, and there they will be revealing some news about the things that we can expect in the upcoming update, U44, including some news about the PVP update! If this news goes over well with folks and it revitalizes the community's hype for PVP, then we may also find some luck in selling pvp-related goodies, like meta gear and consumables. Either way, good luck farming gold for that ebonsteel cuirass; it is a really nice one

[@casualgamer5863]

Wow so awesome, wish had housing skill...

[@Kattatonia]

[@chrisenyedy6393]

Nice ideas! Gives me inspiration to try a few new things. ‘Thesda give this woman a raise, or at least some really good swag😎

[@Degonyte]

1v1 me at furnishment alignment. Also what you mentioned about other styles like Reach serving as kind of a 'Bosmer surrogate' - it also applies to fashion. When I want to make a more 'tribal' outfit I'm always surprised at how much there is to choose from - Bosmer styles, Reach styles, Argonian styles, and even some dungeon styles like Icereach Coven. This game allows for a lot of creativity if you don't let yourself be led by 'oh this style is associated with Bretons so I can only use it in that context.'

[@FrostbreakYT]

I'm definitely not creative enough to do anything REMOTELY close to this. But I do want to try the housing systems some day :)

[@Arttea]

You totally should!! I was always pretty big into the housing in Skyrim but I was frustrated with how little freedom I had as a player to really mess around with the actual items in the homes (both vanilla ones and modded homes). Plus, one accidental unrelenting force shout is all it would take to send all the little knickknacks in the home flying and they would never look nice again 😭 Or you load back into your home and it's suddenly raining fucking gourds and plates and shit :') ESO's housing system deffo scratches that housing itch for me 🙏

[@anthonypra8899]

Alright so. skyrim has bathrooms. It's anytime you see a bucket. Just sat somewhere in a corner. That's their bathroom. now. that also goes back to the pot too pi s s in. Alright. So basically that goes back to the used to have just a pot in the corner of the room. and Skyrim is just a bucket, so that's their bathroom.

[@Xylluk]

I really wish I could invest into furnishing more homes, but at the moment, getting gold is pretty rough since the economy has dropped quite a bit in the game. I suppose I need to farm twice the amount of Potent Nirncrux since the rate for it is about 25k per piece now when it used to be around 65k 😞 Still doing my writs though, which is always the best 👍

[@Arttea]

I feel ya on that one 😩

[@TatewakiGaming]

Do you think that this housing feature will revitalize the ESO furniture crafting market? With so many people going casual, they will never get the skills to craft what they want. However, casual gamers also don’t spend a lot buying and dressing up houses. I’m sort of on the fence about this. I’d love to get back into furniture crafting and selling again!

[@Arttea]

I would hope so! The classic furnishing materials (heartwood, decorative wax, mundane rune etc) should definitely be in higher demand if more players are interested in crafting some furnishings for their homes! Something I've noticed is that some of my style materials (the ones needed for furnishings) have been reliable sellers! I may also look into selling some structural furnishing plans that can be obtained from DLC dailies because there don't seem to be too many on the market at the moment and those are great plans to learn for housing cobbles!

[@codernerd7076]

I want to start playing this but don't even know where to start, so many options to buy 😕

[@Arttea]

I recommend starting with just the base game/standard version to try things out and see how you like ESO! If you end up really vibing with the game, you can always buy upgrades or DLC as you see fit. That is how I started out! I bought the base game first, had a great time playing through it, bought an ESO plus subscription to get access to all of the DLCs and some other nice goodies, then eventually picked up the latest Chapter edition upgrade which gave me the current Chapter and all of the previous ones!

Aw man, sorry to hear it Sometimes it can take a minute before you're really happy with your build. I think the first home I ever seriously tried to properly furnish was the free "Grand Psijic Villa" everyone got from participating in some event several years ago. I was super new to the housing side of things and I remember decorating and redecorating that place several times before I was satisfied with how it looked. All that to say: don't be discouraged, some things just take time and practice
