Mount swimming! No more dismounting in puddles YAY!
Two new houses!
One is a Notable home: The "Wildgrown Chapen of Julianos" in West Weald and will be morphable / earnable for event tickets at the end of the year, starting with new Life!
(Soooo excited for this one. Can't wait to check it out on PTS on July 7.)
And the other is a Medium home, "Hidden Spring Cottage" in the Gold Coast. Will be in the Crown store after U47 launches.
Top wishes for Housing features.
Many of these are popular requests from the community: on the forums, reddit, in-game, discords, etc. Most here are general rather than specific: features or items that would help a wide variety of builders.

(Contains more specific, piecemeal items)
Improve TAB-TAB-TAB-TAB-TAB to Select & Retrieve Menu
We know the most popular request "more slots!" can't currently be done.
But could smaller homes be upgraded? E.g. +100 slots to Bismuth Steam Baths or Sleek Creek.
AND/OR: Option to switch item slot type:
Exchange a few Collectible slots for Traditional as needed.
EDIT Sept. 2025: This is being looked into! Awesome!

Toggle to hide NPC paths in Edit Mode
(Eye strain when building and visiting. Paths become a neon mess in Edit / Inspect modes.)
Custom-placed portals / entrance
Could be a 2-way portal, similar to those in dungeons. Might be 2 different features: custom placed portals & custom spawn point.
NOT more load screens please. 1-second black screens like base game doors have are fine.
Setting a custom entrance could ideally bypass extra load screens in houses like Hall of the Lunar Champion: you'd enter directly into the set wing.
Allowing players and visitors to port directly to a build site could save up to hundreds of slots that get wasted on reskinning. And curb confusion in houses like Potentate's Retreat – many great builds leave that house empty and build in the back. A new-to-housing visitor would not know this and might think there's nothing to see (especially without descriptions in Home Tours).
We could make better builds and maybe even complain a little less about the slot limits!

Lock / unlock interactibles individually
Ideally: 1. Lock all items (as already implemented by Limited Visitor) then 2. Manually unlock specific items that would be OK for guests to use.
Reason:
In some builds we'd like visitors to use certain doors or other toggle items, without the threat of the build being ruined by players who toggle items forgetfully, or trolls who do this on purpose.
Add more EHT functionalities to base game, like right-click-to-place
Home Tours: Descriptions, custom books, screenshots
This one needs its own post:
(This post has been updated since Home Tours has been live for nearly a year.)
TL;DR: A description field alone would solve a lot of problem
Brightness and Hue/Saturation/Brightness sliders for lights... OR a multi-effect orb
H/S/L slider would be ideal. But if impossible, here's another idea:
Combine the most useful effects of existing lights into one –
One light to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them!

A collectible, 1-slot "Crafting Rotunda"
I'm more likely to revisit my old builds when they have crafting stations.
I either blend them into the build, or make my own "Crafting Rotunda" with a simple floor and stations, grouped with a Collectible furnishing I can easily search for and summon to my location:
But 1. this takes a lot of slots, 2. danger of triggering the grouping bug that makes items disappear or float.
EHT has a similar option, but again not everyone uses EHT (I don't use this because it has a chance to mess up placement of things & undo/redo history, since grouping can be buggy even in base game).
It would be amazing to have a 1-slot Collectible version: a nicely-designed floor or pergola with the 7+ basic stations (optionally with Outfit, Transmute, etc.) So players could include this as part of the build if they wanted, or easily summon it from F5 / underground.
OR,
An all-discipline crafting Assistant. Basically the same idea: instead of multiple slots spent on (normal, non-set) stations, condense crafting into 1 collectible slot. But an Assistant NPC is a potentially better solution, since it would be accessible everywhere. (Thanks to CrimsonPhoenix for this one!)
Make ALL furnishings available to get in stacks on the PTS – OR a more fair schedule
Many are missing from the PTS entirely (e.g. Murkmire throne, plants, etc.) or can only be accessed one at a time, requiring a create/delete-tester-character parade.

Greetings players and admins.
Multiple instances of houses
I'd love 10 different Sleek Creeks!
A lot of houses suffer the problem of having multiple great areas to build in, but too few slots to satisfactorily use them all. Or sometimes, an idea just suits one area better – then it's a shame to "waste" the features that get blocked off. And some players like to decorate differently for each character. Tons of different reasons.
Sure multiple accounts & servers exist, but for most of us that's not realistically viable – the cost to get all the necessary items (in both time and $) is too great.
More Toggles!
Including things like Extendable chains and ropes: Simple chain and rope furnishings with 2-3 interaction states: long, longer, short.
Some of these are in the Master List. These ideas would make use of existing assets, save on slots, and add more utility and value to existi
Refresh Home Goods vendors
Add new items (old assets) to vendors in old zones! E.g. some in #eso plant wishlist, #eso furniture wishlist
Refresh old Home Goods vendors with "new" items (old assets): More old plants, and more Common & Rough items – like these wobbly little ladd
Scaling items
Within limits, not to stretch textures.
We already see item scaling in the world, and some scaling options would add variety to builds + reduce the need for more furnishings and slots.
VFX / memento player
A gizmo that can be "attuned" to store and play visual effects like Mementos, which otherwise sit forgotten in our Collections menu. Similar to the Constellation Projection Apparatus, but customizable. (E.g. Players could make it project Soul Crystals of the Returned or other mementos.)
More interaction for homes like harvesting, fishing, bed rest bonus, etc.
Even if very limited like once daily, like the Dragonguard crate. More reasons to revisit our own homes.
To show off our collected weapons and armors!
Musical instruments included here too because it's crazy seeing all of these assets out in the world everywhere, but unable to use them!
Change house zone music
Choose from soundtracks from other houses / zones. Including quiet and spooky ambient sound, like the entrance hall of Hakkvild's.
Music boxes are not the solution: 1. They're attached to Effects volume rather than Music, so players who have Effects turned down due to their disruptiveness can't hear them. 2. Many are high-pitched thus agitating, unlike zone music that's typically agreeable and unobtrusive by design. 3. Their sound does not fill the entire house (which can be a good thing in some builds).

Bards as Houseguests
Especially Daahin from Rimmen!
Place our alts as Houseguests
Some homes belong to specific characters; it'd be nice to see them there and give homes more life. It would be fun if they could wear polymorphs!
On/Off toggle for luminous windows
We're happy they no longer change with weather / TOD as of the last update! But it would help to have an on/off toggle for any "enchanted" windows that project light.
Simple clear glass windows
With thin or no frames. E.g. One side of the Display Case, Large from Alinor. + Single panels / windows of the Alinor greenhouses.
+ Currently everyone uses Constellation Tile: The Tower for invisible path-blocks and clear windows. An improved replacement would be awesome! – A large, invisible object (as invisible as possible, considering usability) with no edges / frame, and no cast shadow (ignored by light) would be so cool for blocking-off, invisible magic paths, & more.
Fill containers with dirt or water
Would be cool if possible!
More granular time-control
Bottom of the list because the time control we got is already a great help. But more time options would be wonderful. Explained: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/633586/a-little-disappointed-in-the-chronometer-suggestion

#eso plant wishlist
Everyone uses the overgrown hedges for green cover. Something like Plants, Dense Underbrush but MUCH larger would be so helpful.
Really happy that a lot more items like this were added since Gold Road! The Dawnwood trees and structures are incredible (shame about the plan drop rates though) and the new Sandstone Boulders and Water Chestnut trees from Solstice are fantastic for landscaping. And the incredible new Plant Cluster, Tamanu! Thanks also for giving Tree, Gentle Weeping Willow as a login reward! More like this please :)
There's also a great-looking water feature pack datamined. I hope it won't be too expensive, and that the new waterfalls will not have frustrating rocks jutting out in front like the Summerset one.
We also got some big new bushes and grass clusters recently! But no green. I'd love to see more dense, green options that can convincingly cover bare ground and floors.
+ A lot of specific items from existing assets:
Like this plant: https://moonpile.tumblr.com/post/757549546985373696/eso-housing-wishlist-plant-wishlist-p1
Clear glass windows! E.g. single panes of the Alinor-style greenhouses.
And a transparent-as-possible plane that doesn't cast shadows – something that could be used to block off areas, block the camera, or for invisible magic paths! (Currently everyone uses "The Constellation Tile, The Tower" but it casts shadows and has visible edges & back.)
Narrower and base-less stairs: https://moonpile.tumblr.com/post/788295938568601600/narrower-and-base-less-stairs
Items players have been requesting for a long time, like the mushroom buckets, weapons and armor racks, etc.
A small directional arrow →
(Sure you can cobble a sign 3+ slots, but a small, 1-slot arrow to direct visitors would be so helpful. Ideally a Collectible slot!)
Birds, tiny frogs and giant glyptodons! And other "Environmental" creatures. (Not as pet slots; regular Collectible or Special furnishing would be great. It's nice to see some newer homes like Willowpond and Hiddenspring Cottage approach this in a way, but would be better to have animals that could be placed in any house.)

Weather Control! ✔
This was a big one; vastly improved building and visiting. Thank you!
Furniture storage and/or deconstruction ✔
Partly fulfilled:
This was helped greatly by the Furnishing Vault, thank you!
Most heavy housers say the vault did not empty our storage houses, and wish it held more 200-stacks instead of 500 1000-stacks; it's rare that we stack any single item over 200. But it's a great addition, and since adding more slots to this one wasn't possible, could we hope for more vaults in the future?
(If decon, it must return all mats. Else it's not worth it and not a suitable replacement for storage. Furniture is too expensive.)
Return past event items / Collectibles ✔
Fulfilled in Update 49!
E.g. the Dragon's Treasure Trove, statues, and more.

Wildgrown Chapel of Julianos - Screenshot Tour | ESO Housing | U47 PTS
Very excited about this house, and the fact that it will be earnable: the final morph of the Julianos season / Stonewisp of Truth and Law morphables! (At time of posting, UESP is not yet updated to reflect this.)
Times of day, from Night to Sunset:
All beautiful! The rest of the screenshots will use the Morning setting (3rd image).
Interior:
Enormous Dawnwood grounds to free-build in!
I really hoped for a bare plot in the Dawnwood, but this is great. There's so much room to build and it's easy to hide the house with Dawnwood items.
Love that it comes with awesome Crown furnishings like this Colovian Gazebo!
I would not have bought this from the Crown store, personally – these tend to cost the equivalent of ~1.5 months of ESO Plus sub; for me that's way too much for one item.
Btw, here's the full list of new furnishings and sources in U47:
I always find lists with static images and searchable text helpful, so I made one! Early PTS; some info here may be incorrect or incomplete.
This tower is really cool. In a fantasy game like this, I'd much rather live somewhere fun and interesting like a crumbling tower, more than a house. It's almost too good: when the default build is great, what do you have left to do? Customizing is even more of a challenge!
The Julianos shrine here turns this cool VFX in the middle hole on and off. I've removed the tree to see it better:
Views:
You can go extremely high up and far out: forget about earth, take to the treetops and build your own thing!
Last image is the death floor; you can't go very low sadly.
And finally, the house entrance:
We had a lot of complaints about Willowpond's original PTS entrance which did get changed to be better! Looks like this one was made with that in mind: you can take a boat to get between the shores. This is a 1-second black-screen port, no load screens. Also, we now have Mount Swimming, so even less trouble!
P.S. here's some of my feedback on the forums. Really happy with Housing and QOL this update!
This is the official feedback thread for the new houses and furnishings.

This and Sprint Toggle are such great QOL features! – https://moonpile.tumblr.com/post/788346724378918912/sprint-toggle
I tried mount swimming totally by accident (I knew it was implemented but got distracted by other stuff and forgot)! When my Spider easily glided into the water instead of dismounting me – what a nice surprise!
Later in Solstice, I had to get to the other side of the island across the water. What a breeze, mounted! So much faster! Love this.
It's great on the Dwarven spiders, like a jetski.
Then I tried it in Murkmire! How glorious not to be dismounted every 2 seconds when you hit a foot of water. It will take some getting used to, not to be dismount-nervous in these areas.
(Even found a couple of fishing holes by this ship. But you can't actually fish them? I found it impossible to jump onto the little boat before the slaughterfish ate me.)
Players have begged for this since Beta, probably. Better late than never! I'm glad to be back in ESO when a lot of nice QOL and Housing features are being added. Other areas of the game are um... contentious, understandably. For now I'm a happy Arcanist (on every character and account; even my old mains are now beaming – literally, via subclassing) enjoying the game more than ever :P
Anyway, official feedback thread:
This is the official feedback thread for the new Mount Swimming feature.
UPDATE: It is on U47 PTS! Settings > Gameplay > General – right above Companion Reactions preferences! –
This is incredible. We have Dolgubon, Cirex, and Sinnereso to thank for laying the groundwork for this.
I've been wanting (and requesting) a sprint toggle on PC / M+KB for ages. Console UI had one for a while. This really helps avoid extra RSI / existing symptoms. Really happy this is coming to base game so soon, and I'm excited to check out the PTS this week. On that note,
