Weekly Tours:
 
Each week we endeavor to showcase WildStar's incredible housing system and the amazing talent and creativity of WildStar players via their housing plots.  We cover both regions (alternating between the two each week) and both factions. We pride ourselves on showing viewers a wide range of plot themes, with heavy focus on the custom-built features of said plots. While our live broadcasts are centered around the tours themselves, we encourage our live viewers to engage in the ongoing discussion and/or ask questions about housing or the game in general.

Recently started a new project. Have most of the main structure built now, though come Monday I will likely redo the front door and make some adjustments to the newly installed roof.  From there we'll start putting in furnishings. If you'd like to follow along with this and/or other housing-related adventures, head on over to my channel and say hi, sit for a spell, throw popcorn at your screen, offer up your suggestions, or just quietly lurk, whatever floats your boat. :)
 
 
 	
----
			
Just a quick update: The house project (pictured above) is nearly "done". We are currently sitting at around 875/1000, so it's coming down to the final bits of decoration. Quite possibly Monday's broadcast will be the last building day for it. I plan to do a little video tour of the place later (most likely the next time I do a set of Exile home tours), but for those that would like to see how it has all come together so far, or would like to join me during those final hours of building, feel free to drop by my Twitch channel. You can follow me there to be notified when I next go live and you can catch all the archived videos there too, for those who've not already been tagging along.
 
While the current project may be coming to a close soon, and it can be a bit of a sad time because of it, there *is* a bright note to end on, as we have a new CBDC project to start up! This month my guild's members have been challenged to build a monument of their choosing to help commemorate our guild's first anniversary. Should be an interesting array of entries this month, so can't wait to get started on mine. :D	
----
			
Updated the "past live tours" listing to reflect lost updates and the addition of the most recent video link.
 
As well, for those curious about my current side projects, a new custom-built decor challenge for my guild will be starting up tomorrow so I'll be getting to work on my entry for that sometime in the coming month. In the meantime, I am working on a bingo hall, inspired by an upcoming guild event. I'm hosting an in-chat progressive bingo game every Saturday evening in the month of August for my guildies and thought it might be fun to actually build a bingo hall. Perhaps this excercise will inspire someone else to construct another game-related structure on their own plot (I know I've seen some chess/checker boards and a version of monopoly done quite nicely)....maybe there will be a WildStar game show coming soon to a plot near you? anyone? anyone? ;)	
----
			
Quick Update!
 
Just finished building another side project: the bingo hall. If you missed the live broadcasts where I put it together, you can always catch the archived videos from my Twitch page or visit my Youtube channel.
 
A new month means a new CBDC (custom-built decor challenge) for my guild, so I'll be starting that project very soon. This month's theme is: swimming pool.
 
As well, being Wednesday today, we just did another house tours episode, this time on Dominion side. If you missed it, a link to the video is above in the "past broadcasts" post.
 
And finally, now that we have access to the PTR, I will be diving in there periodically to show off some of the new items, features and just generally nose around (already did one sneak peek broadcast). Other than Wednesday house tour broadcasts, my hours are somewhat scatty, but if you follow my channel, it'll let you know when I next go live, if you are interested in joining in while I work (and play).
 
Thanks for your support and happy housing!

House tours are done for this week (go Exiles!), so the "past tours" listing above has been updated to reflect this recent broadcast.
 
That said, plenty of other projects to stream and work on, such as the current CBDC project. We've already been busy putting together the first bits of our swimming pool (located conveniently right next to the bingo hall, our previous project). There's no water yet, but lots of room for added details that will help sell the idea of it being a welcoming, community pool. We already have a lifeguard chair, some lounge chairs and even a "pool boy". What will we add next? Come join us during our next live broadcast and find out! (or even make some suggestions!)

August CBDC - Swimming Pool project is done!
 
 
This is the latest live-stream project where viewers could watch me build it, from start to finish. If you missed the live shows, you can always check out the archived videos on either Twitch or YouTube (links in sig).
 
This week, today in fact, we'll be visiting some Dominion homes on Jabbit-EU. Be sure to join us if you'd like to tag along!	
----
			
I've begun a kind of experiment with my guild. I recently offered my time and imagination to those members who are either capable of building but lack inspiration for a particular element or simply do not have the time to custom-build anything for their own plots. This means I am taking on specific mini-projects on their behalf and streaming these projects as I work on them. Essentially it is a win-win, as their home gets an extra bit of personality via a custom-build and I get the fun and challenge of working on a wider variety of projects (beyond what I think up on my own) and they have the chance to be used in the long-term, rather than torn down when it's time for a new project.
 
My first volunteer was Dynna, who, though very well capable of building his own stuff, asked me to take on the public restroom project for his bar, as he indicated he had absolutely no inspiration for it.
 
So for those who've been following along with my livestreaming adventures, be on the lookout for these extra mini-projects in addition to everything else that goes on in my housing world. :)
 
Reminder as well, today is Wednesday! That means another housing tours episode is on the way. :D If you'd like to join us as we visit some Exiles homes this week on the Jabbit-EU realm, please feel free to drop by in the Twitch chat, in-game or both at 1pm CEST!
 	
----
			
The guild experiment continues with my current build aka Project Silverthorn. I feel a bit out of my element with the laboratory and stuff, but having fun nonetheless. My guildie has been super patient and supportive as I run around crazily on his plot and dream up different things to put here and there. Still lots to do, so if you'd like to join in sometime while I'm doodling around in there, feel free!
 
 
I'll also be crating my own plot very soon, so we'll be saying goodbye to Proto Putt Park and ushering in a new theme. Fun times ahead!	
----
			
This week's been a bit of a bumpy ride. Not only the F2P launch and all its to-be-expected issues, but I've taken to being ill at the same time. While the worst of it seems to be over, I'm still in recovery mode, so for those that follow this thread and thereby my channel, thanks for understanding during this week of off-time. Barring unforeseen circumstances, we'll be back at it in full swing on Monday.
 
See you then!	
----
			
Feeling better so that mean's the streaming has finally started up again this week! Yay!
 
Today being Wednesday, we jumped right back into our usual weekly house tours, this time on Dominion side. You can find a link to that broadcast and all the others we've done up to this point in the listing above.
 
Current projects we have running are the rebuilding of the Wildball field, October's CBDC (halloween monster or creature theme) and eventually a look into my "super secret" Shade's Eve plot.
 
As always, I appreciate the support of my viewers/followers, re-tweeters, fellow builders and Carbine. It all keeps me going. :)	
----
			
Visited some great looking Exiles homes today. Remember, if you aren't able to catch my show live, you can watch the archived videos either via my Twitch highlights (linked above) or my YouTube channel.
 
Current projects beyond the housing tours:
 
Wildball Field! Still adding lots of details such as more snack stands, a commentator's booth, maybe a souvenir shop or VIP seating? Even if building isn't your thang, feel free to drop by when I'm there and give the soccer mini-game a try!
 
 
Shade's Eve is just around the corner. While I've not actually been streaming my "spooky" build yet, it's coming! Till then, say hello to Frankie. :) His purpose is two-fold. One - he keeps me company while I work on my main's plot. Two - he's my entry for this month's CBDC for my guild. Can't wait to see what the others put together!	
----
			
Updated the Past Tours listing to reflect the latest broadcasts. Starting with Aly Foxfire's home on the final broadcast of November and carrying through the month of December, I'm aiming to showcase winter-themed homes for this holiday season, not only to showcase their fun and fantastical work, but to inspire others as they try to bring out some snowiness in their own plots.
 
Special Note: Our Wednesday tours will be moving to the morning hours of the day, rather than the afternoon. The lead post has been edited to reflect this change. This is namely because the afternoon time period is most often subject to realm maintenance downtime. There won't be a specific hour from now on, but more a window of time: somewhere between 8 and 11 am CET. Apologies for any inconvenience this may pose for current/potential viewers, but my mornings just aren't as predictable as my afternoons. :P
 
As well, besides the tours, we are currently streaming progress on our latest project, Protostar Sky Plaza, including a Holiday Advent House reveal, work on an indoor ice-skating rink, an indoor beach house and any other projects that pop up.	
----
			
 
We just wrapped up our final Winter Houses Tour video for the month of December, so if you are looking for wintery inspiration, be sure to check out the archived tour videos (linked above) that cover 18 wonderfully decorated winter-esque homes. If winter isn't your thing, never fear! Starting next week we'll be randomizing the tours once again, so anything from spaceports to museums to hospitals to fancy restaurants could make it into the show.
 
Remember! Tours aren't the only thing on the menu for the coming year, as we continually have new projects (big and small) to keep us entertained. We've got more holiday-themed decoration workshops on the way, including those for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day and Easter, just to name a few. There are always random projects (personal and those for others) that pop up here and there and of course PTR sneak peeks of upcoming decor and/or housing features when they are available.
 
Many thanks to those persons who continue to support this endeavor with follows, tweets, re-tweets, live chat, video comments, etc. We've had a great time so far, so let's keep it going into the new year. Hope to see you there! :D	
----
			
Random mini project that we built during a recent livestream: Jukebox. Nothing fancy, but a fun concept to try and put together nonetheless!	
----
			
Solidly into the new year and we are still finding new things to build.
 
In addition to our weekly house tours, we are moving from shop to shop in the Protostar Sky Plaza and adding new display items, from a refrigerator to wacky chandeliers to a cute little dolly. Want to see what we build next? Then please feel free to join us most weekdays for random brainstorming and custom-building.
 	
----
			
Updated the Past Live Tour Broadcasts listing to reflect our move into 2016 and all the recent homes we've visited so far this year, including today's.
 
As long as we keep finding interesting homes to visit, we'll keep these weekly tours going! :D
 
Thank you to all the builders out there, supporters of the stream, etc. :)	
----
			
Valentine's Day has come and gone (the vid covering Cupid's Meadow is still available to watch! ;) ), but we're already looking forward to the upcoming season and holidays. At the moment we are actively tinkering with an alt's plot, trying to bring it to life for a future guild event. Cozy cottage in the woods, creaking windmill, lots and lots of flower beds, and are those baskets of decorated eggs I see??
 
Spring is in the air in my neck of the woods! How about yours?
 
 
 	
----
			
 
We're aiming to livestream our 50th house tours episode in style!
 
Visit this thread for details on how you can be a part of this grand celebration. :)	
----
			
Today we (re)introduced the monthly CBDC (custom-built decor challenge). Formerly just a guild thing, I've decided to invite my viewers to participate in these challenges along with us. Around the first of every month we'll be announcing a new theme. Builders will have most of the month to plan/create their item(s) to fit the theme and then around the end of the month, for those on Jabbit-EU or Entity-NA and who provide the pertinent info (i.e. character name), we'll showcase their creations on a livestream. There will be no prizes, no judging, no voting, just us building random things for the fun of it.
 
This month's theme is Home Appliance, so anything from a washing machine to a toaster oven qualifies. The idea is that these are your own, new creations, so even if you have something currently existing on your plot that fits the theme, make a point to build something new!
 
If you'd like to find out more about this, participate in this month's (or future CBDCs), or just want to learn more about housing, please feel free to drop by the stream (weekday mornings CET) and talk with us!
 
My creation for this month's CBDC:
 
 
Reminder: We are still heading towards our House Tours 50th Episode! Be sure to submit your fave tours from the past year! (see link in previous post)

Our 50th house tours special event has come and gone (you can read how it all went here), but the streaming continues! We've got the CBDC showcases coming up next week, with a new theme coming next month, more weekly house tours on the way and the bakery and bingo project to complete, plus who knows what else!
 
If housing is something you want to see more of, learn about, chat about, then our stream may be just what the doctor ordered. Come on by and say hi! :)

Today we announced the CBDC theme for this month of May.
 
 
Been looking for an excuse to build that basketball court? Just need something different to work on, to distract you from the mega build you've been slaving away on for months now? Never built a game and want to give it a try? Now's your chance!!!
 
Don't have room for it on your main? That's what alts are for, right? Right?
 
You've got nearly a full month to put on that thinking cap, come up with an idea and make that idea a reality. Show us what you end up making and we'll show the world! (or at least as much of the world that watches our show :P)
 
Good luck to those who decide to participate and look forward to seeing your results!

As well, today we announced the CBDC theme for this month of June.
 
 
Everyone loves food, right? From appetizers to mains to desserts, there are all kinds of yummy goodies to make. Want to go a step further and create an advertisement board for "Galactic Garlic Fries! 50% Off!"? Or maybe even a bit further than that and build a Space Burger Stand? We say, go for it!
 
Already built something that fits the theme? We'd love to hear about it/see it! Feel free to tweet us some screenies via @kaeret_ws
 
Main goal though is to get you to build something new!
 
Good luck to those who decide to participate and look forward to seeing your results!

New month means new CBDC!
 
 
** This is a special CBDC, in that you will be provided with a  custom, pre-fab home that you will be decorating. See the FAQ below for further details!
 
Modular Embellishment CBDC FAQ
 
What is a Modular Home? In this case, it is a compact, custom house that has been built as a pre-fab, "shell" structure. It is comprised of around 245 pieces (wooden 2x4s, curved walls,  floors and unframed glass) that are purchased directly from the housing vendor at a cost of approximately 50 gold, so no special reputation or decor access required.
 
Are there different styles of the Modular Home to choose from? While the general shape and layout are the same, there are 4 different looks of the Modular Home to choose from: Aurin, Draken, Exiles and Cassian.
 
How do I obtain a Modular Home? If you would like to participate in July's CBDC, you will need to acquire a base Modular Home. To do this, you will need to contact Kaeret Greenleaf directly in one of the following manners:
 
via Twitter - https://twitter.com/Kaeret_WS
via Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/kaeret_ws(either via DM or in chat during a livestream) 
via Forum - https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/user/80074-kaeret/
via In-Game Mail (either region) - (Exiles) Kaeret Greenleaf or (Dominion) Mellan Kolly
Whichever option you choose, simply specify which model of Modular Home you'd like to obtain and the method in which you want it to be given to you. Either you can request the KBT code for a specific Modular Home and install it yourself (if you need help covering the cost, just ask), or you can temporarily roommate Kaeret/Mellan and have the Modular Home installed for you.
 
Can I modify the Modular Home in any way? Generally speaking, this is a decorating challenge, in that you are charged with adding the usual items one would expect to find in a home (i.e. bed, tables, cabinets, appliances, etc). To further clarify, every piece of the base Modular Home should remain intact, but you are permitted to add things, such as a door for the entryway, interior floor/wall/ceiling coverings to represent carpets/tiles, a porch/terrace to enhance the entryway and walls to divide up the interior space.
 
Can I change the scale of the Modular Home? In short, yes. The original base Modular Home was built to the scale of an Aurin character, so for the taller races, things may feel a bit too confined. You are permitted to adjust the scale of the structure to better match your character's race, within reason. The Modular Home is meant to be compact, like a caravan or studio apartment. This means, don't oversize it.
 
Are there any special rules for this month's CBDC? Aside from what has already been mentioned, the only other "rule" would be to stick to a limit of 1700 decor (including the 245 that is the base Modular Home). There is, of course, no way for me to confirm this, but many of those urging for this particular challenge asked there we have a decor cap included. How did I arrive at 1700? Quite simply, I decorated one of them myself, and based the cap on how many items I actually used. Felt it the easiest, fairest manner in which to determine the number. So stick the cap or not, that's really up to you. It's all on the honor system.
 
Can I see an example of an already decorated Modular Home? Yes! If you have access to Jabbit Exiles-side, you are welcome to drop by Parsnep Greenleaf to see firsthand all the styles of Modular Homes, including one that is fully furnished. If you don't have access to Jabbit Exiles-side, you can either visit Kaeret's twitch channel page and peruse the Highlights section for videos covering the Modular Homes, or check out the archived videos on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/c/KaeretWS
 
In addition to that, we'll be decorating another Modular Home (on Parsnep Greenleaf) this month, right alongside you, so be welcome to join us during the Twitch livestreams to check out our progress.
 
General rule of thumb, if you are uncertain about anything discussed above or have further questions, just ask!

Just a quick reminder to folks that September's CBDC is ongoing. This month's theme is Fairy Tales! You can find more info about that here.
 
I've also updated the Past Live Tour Broadcasts listing to cover those we've done over the last few weeks (kinda got behind on that due to illness, forgetfulness, etc). So if you didn't catch our show live, you can always check them out later as every broadcast is archived both on the Twitch Channel directly and on YouTube (links for both in the first posts).
 
Enjoy and happy building!

			Just a quick update on where our livestream is headed for the new year.Currently we run house tours on Jabbit-EU each Wednesday. While we still have many, many plots yet to visit (the queue is currently around 80+, including works in progress), it feels like the right time to expand our view.To that end, starting January 2017, we'll be incorporating Entity-NA plots into our schedule. The plan is to alternate each week between the regions. This decision is in no way meant to step on any toes of others who have been/are doing NA tours of their own. This is simply our way of helping to further spread the housing love. We will of course be continuing with our monthly CBDC's and random filler projects, in addition to the weekly tours.Message to NA players: While I typically rely on just randomly bumping into plots as I hop from house to house in my free time, just like your EU counterparts, please be welcome to send along any suggestions of plots you feel are ready and deserving of some extra attention. As you can tell from EU's queue, the wait may be long, but we'll do our best to get to each plot in due course. You can message me in-game via Kaeret Greenleaf (Exile) or Mellan Kolly (Dominion) (it's same two names for either region), forum pm, Twitter or Twitch, whatever's most convenient for you.TLDR: Watch out NA, Kaeret approaches!

Hope everyone's year has started off in a positive way. :)
 
As for the stream, quite a bit has gone on/is going on, so let's break it down a little
 
We recently wrapped up our Holiday Advent series
December's "Winter Rides" CBDC was a big success.
Our whirlwind of winter tours throughout the month of December brought us back to some "old" favorites alongside some inspiring new plots
January's "New Year's Resolutions" CBDC has officially begun.
We just kicked off our new house tour schedule yesterday, with a visit to NA's side of things. You can find a link to those videos, along with all other past tour broadcasts here.
And we're already prepping for February's CBDC.
 
 
Whether you are a seasoned builder or a new player looking to discover all the possibilities WildStar's housing has to offer, we welcome you to join us during our livestream broadcasts. We're eager to meet you, answer questions, brainstorm ideas and help you get moving on building your ultimate dream home.	
----
			
UPDATE:
 
Firstly, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to those of you who've expressed your concerns, sent well-wishes and lent your support these past few weeks while I've been fighting one yucky bug after another. Without going into much detail, suffice it to say that I'm still under the weather with a stubbornly persistent cough, but am feeling considerably better than I have in a long while. *knocks on wood*
 
That said, I feel it in my own best interest (healthwise and more), to not return to my regular streaming schedule, but instead reduce it to better accommodate myself and, at least in some small measure, allow me to be able to return to that which I've enjoyed sharing with you all over these last few years.
 
So this is the plan:
 
As of right now, there will be no more CBDCs issued or live-building broadcasts. I will instead put all of my focus on getting back into the weekly house tours. It is my hope to resume these this coming Wednesday (Mar 22).
 
For those that participated in February's CBDC, and assuming those projects are still available for public viewing, I'll be including a showcase of them on that day as well, to wrap up that final challenge officially.
 
I realise this change is pretty significant and possibly disappointing to some and for that I apologise. I'm sure some of you are aware that I haven't even been logging into the game, let alone building anything, these past few weeks, so even this much of a return is going to be tough, as I feel pretty disconnected now and no doubt will be fumbling around and rusty as I start to get back into it.
 
I've updated the lead post of this thread to reflect these changes. Thank you again for your understanding and patience and hope to see you soon!

Just a quick update to note that the Past Tour Broadcasts list has been updated to cover the past few months of tours. As mentioned before, we are continuing with our weekly tours (every Wednesday), alternating between the factions.
 
With over 350 plots toured so far, we are on track to hit our next big milestone next month....our 100th house tour episode! This time, I'll be revisiting some of my own all time favorite plots that we've seen up to this point, so please be welcome to join us then (and any other time that we are on the air!) and help celebrate.	
----
			
Finally updated the Past Tours list (newest listings start from back in April), so should all be caught up now. As most who follow my channel are aware, we've cut back on stream days to just once a week (mostly due to health reasons) and will continue with that schedule for the foreseeable future. While we do plan to continue touring individual plots, we will also be incorporating Community tours as well. We'll likely start that once Carbine's Community Showdown event is complete and we can take a closer look at participant entries.
 
Enormous thanks to all those who regularly visit the chatroom during our live broadcasts (and Poie for her moderating mayhem ;) ), those who spread the word about our channel via Twitter, etc and just the overall generous support we've received (and continue to receive) these past years. It keeps us going and is greatly appreciated!
 
As always, if you know of a plot that we've not yet toured (individual or community, Exile or Dominion, Entity or Jabbit) and think it deserves a look, please feel free to drop us a note. This includes plots that we've toured in the past that have undergone vast or full-on rebuilds since our last visit.
 
Thanks and happy building!

It's official! We've embarked on another year of streaming WildStar housing!
 
We've updated our Past Tours list to reflect such.
 
While free time continues to be limited and health issues persist in borking things up now and then , we remain determined to try to bring you weekly plot tours, both individual and community. We continue to appreciate your support, encouragement and company during our livestreams and hope that our efforts continue to inspire others to bigger and better stuffs in their own housing projects.

			Best wishes and good health to you Kaeret! I'm going to miss that carrot, the wee lamb, but love your new forum picture! Looks like a new line of Plushies.

Updated our Past Tours list to reflect recently toured plots. We're currently focused on getting through the Community Showdown competition winners/honorable mentions/participants. It's slow going, but making progress! Don't worry though, we'll still be covering individual plots in the future and hitting new/other community plots from time to time.
 
As always, if you know of a plot (individual or community, either faction/region) that we've yet to tour (or any that have been renovated so extensively they deserve a retour), please feel free to drop me a note here, on Twitter or on Twitch, etc.
 
Had to skip this past Wednesday due to dentist stuffs, but should be back to touring another community plot this coming Wednesday (Feb 7). Hope to see you then!	
----
			
Man, some of those contest communities take a long time to explore! Great work though, Kaeret. <3
 
Just a heads up in case anyone is interested, Savva Drex is a commission I did last summer for an RPer friend. The water is made using a super-sized chalice as Kaeret mentioned, with a flipped teal barnacle just underneath the surface-- that's the part that gives the chalice some solidity/depth, and it slightly tweaks the colour. More importantly, it actually smooths the edges of the chalice a bit, because it can get quite boxy (if you noticed the brown edge to the water at its horizon, that's the barnacle). I also added some basic aurin floors underneath it all so the players wouldn't drop through the world. xD  It unfortunately does give the impression of shallow water, but most folks won't walk out into the ocean anyway, haha.
 
Can't wait to see more streams of communities, even though I've personally kind of given up on them. IMO they're just too demanding and need QOL updates. That said, after a break I'm starting to get back into things with a single plot commission. If others are experiencing community burnout like I was, I recommend you do the same. :3

	We'll be continuing for at least a few more weeks with some community tours, then we'll move into mixing in some individual plot tours here and there as well. If you know of/have an individual plot or community that we've yet to tour (or one that's changed up enough to warrant a retour), please don't hesitate to reach out to us. As always, thank you to everyone who's supported our efforts to showcase the amazing housing creations of this community. We truly appreciate it!	
----
			
	I didn't even realize you'd visited Eko-Talesta! That was a nice surprise. :3
	The community was a solo build and is far from capped (it uses about 35-40% of the total decor available). I wasn't able to finish it before the big contest ended, mainly cause of sickness, and I was feeling burnout post-contest and so took a break. Since coming back I've dabbled with small updates but am more focused on single plot builds. I do hope to finish the city-station eventually though-- the first corner you visited needs the most work, it's sorely lacking detail, and I think visual clarity could be improved with accent lighting in a few areas.
	Thanks so much for visiting though, Kaeret. I appreciate your continued support of WS and housing, and hearing your views/interpretations of things is super useful too. When I eventually dig into the last mile to finish this place off I'll have a good idea of what to focus on!

	With the coughing and throat irritation issues mostly behind us, we hope to start again with throwing in a few community tours here and there. In the meantime, we'll keep things running with just the individual plot tours till I'm confident I can handle back-to-back stream days without losing my voice.
	 
	Once again, a huge thank you to all those who support this endeavor, including those builders who generously leave their doors open so that we can visit their amazing creations. Keep building and we'll keep streaming!
