I would love to be able to buy a house where the current tenets, no longer reside if you know what I mean.

I have went into some houses and liked what I was. It would be really cool that if for some unknown reason the current tenets died from natural causes, were assassinated, or simple just disappears that some one from the current holds council would appear outside of the house some time after this and start to auction off the house.

of course you would have to do the following,

• Come up with a way to price the house
  
• Remove ownership of items in the house
  
• Give PC key to house
  
• Have others try to outbid you (This could more or less be over time as in the house well be up for auction for a few weeks and the highest bid gets the house)
  
• Replace respawning chest with non-respawning chest
  
• I think that is it

One of my favorite things about Morrowind was the ability to, um, make someone "disappear" and move into their house.

I fully approve - bringing that back would be awesome!

Well there was a mod in Fallout 3 that let you do this as well. In Morrowind all of the nice houses the tenets didn't seem to stay there to much longer once I realized I wanted the house. haha

Well logically it seems simple enough and I feel like I could do this, but I have already take on one big project and am not dumb enough to take on two at the same time. If I finish my "Better Than Wolves" mod and no one has decided to make any effort on releasing something like this, I may or may not do it my self. I am hoping that if I at least get the idea someone else would be happy to take it and make it. haha

Well, they were able to to it for Fallout 3.
