Skyrim<\/a><\/em> is an immersive world, and for dedicated players, it can feel something like a virtual second home.\u00a0This is especially true with\u00a0the\u00a0Hearthfire\u00a0<\/em>add-on, which allows players\u00a0to build their own homes. These mansions are far bigger and grander than any within the cities,\u00a0as well as being\u00a0customizable, allowing the Dragonborn to tailor their house to their own style.<\/p>\n

Building a house, though, can seem like a big task. There are myriad materials to be sourced and several big decisions to be made. Here are a few tips and tricks to help turn a few logs and an empty plot of land into the home of a Dragonborn’s dreams.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Determine Location<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Hjaalmarch, Falkreath, and the Pale each contain plots of land. However, to purchase\u00a0it, the\u00a0player must become Thane of that hold by\u00a0assisting the people. Some are easier than others: for example, in Morthal, the player must survive a vampire-slaying mission<\/a> before they can begin\u00a0completing other tasks for the people.<\/p>\n

Aesthetics are another consideration. Would\u00a0this particular Dragonborn rather live in an icy marsh or overlooking a lake? Are they comfortable in the snowy reaches of the Pale or the more temperate region of Falkreath?<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Consider Unique Features<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Each homestead has one unique aspect that distinguishes it from the others. The Pale’s Heljarchen Hall\u00a0comes with a grain mill, Falkreath’s\u00a0Lakeview Manor has an apiary\u00a0(beehive), and Hjaalmarch’s Windstad Manor includes a fish hatchery.<\/p>\n

Thinking about which\u00a0feature they like best\u00a0can help players pick a property. The fish hatchery is a boon to alchemists, who use various fish in their mixtures. Apiary products are also useful for potions, while the grain mill is a good choice for those who want to utilize\u00a0Hearthfire’s<\/em>\u00a0cooking features.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Collect And Store Crafting Materials<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Every homestead comes with a starter chest containing basic materials; however, these are nowhere near the amount needed to\u00a0build a splendid manor. Hoarding every ingot, horker tusk, and lump of clay is essential to completing the perfect house. Since\u00a0crafting items can get heavy,\u00a0keep them in this starter chest to save inventory space.<\/p>\n

General goods merchants sell some\u00a0basic crafting materials, but be prepared to spend a lot of time mining for iron and stone. Sawn logs are also essential<\/a>, and can be bought from lumber mills.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Choose East, West, and North Wings Carefully<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

After constructing the main hall, players can\u00a0build three wings. The west wing can become a greenhouse, enchanting tower, or bedroom.\u00a0East wing choices include an armory, kitchen, or library.\u00a0The north wing can be\u00a0an alchemy lab, storage room, or trophy room.<\/p>\n

Each choice appeals to different play styles, so think about which ones best suit the Dragonborn who lives here. An alchemist might love to grow rare plants<\/a> in a greenhouse, while a proud warrior would love to display kills in a trophy room.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Think About Skill Leveling<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Another\u00a0way to narrow down choices when building wings is to consider which skills the player wants to focus on. Though not every option correlates to a specific skill, some of them provide useful tools.<\/p>\n

For example, an enchanting tower or an alchemy lab\u00a0offers fantastic opportunities to level these skills<\/a>. An armory, meanwhile, helps the player level smithing as well as providing places to display armor and weapons. Additionally, once complete, each of these wings holds a few materials that can be used in their respective craft.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Don’t Neglect Decor<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Additions like corner shelves, lighting, and mounted slaughterfish might seem superfluous to a player working endlessly to build out all their rooms. However, these extra touches are essential to the atmosphere of a Skyrim home.<\/p>\n

Why build a vast mansion if it doesn’t feel\u00a0comfortable and lived in? What’s the point of these vast rooms, if not to fill them with trinkets and treasures? Build wall sconces to make the main hall feel warm and welcoming; mount some taxidermy for the feel of a cozy hunting lodge.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Display Treasures<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Every Skyrim\u00a0<\/em>player winds up with weapons<\/a>, armor, and accessories that look fantastic but don’t suit their play style. When building a house, there are plenty of opportunities to\u00a0create weapon racks, mannequins, and wall plaques to show off the items that they don’t use but are visually impressive.<\/p>\n

Depending on the Dragonborn’s personality, there are plenty of creative ways to fill display cases. Maybe they’ll fill them with sparkling\u00a0jewels, a collection of soul gems, or perhaps something more macabre like\u00a0troll skulls.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Don’t Forget The Outdoors<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Even after the house is finished, plenty of the homestead land remains open. Players can build a garden, stable, and animal pen. The Dragonborn can then grow flowers and fungi, purchase a horse<\/a>, and keep cows and chickens.<\/p>\n

A grindstone, smelter, and armorer workbench can also be built outside. Additionally, the animal pen comes with a tanning rack. All in all, these are essential pieces that add to the atmosphere of the homestead as well as providing more\u00a0skill-building opportunities.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Think Of The Children (and Pets)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Whether or not the Dragonborn is married, they may choose to adopt children. Residents of\u00a0Honorhall Orphanage,\u00a0as well as unfortunate street urchins throughout\u00a0Skyrim<\/em>, can be taken into the player’s home.<\/p>\n

While there are no specific requirements that a home must meet before children can be adopted,\u00a0parental players might like to consider how kids would feel in their home. Build a bed or two to let the little ones have a place to sleep\u00a0and\u00a0be prepared to take in any animals that follow them home.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Hire Staff<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Once\u00a0this magnificent manor is built,\u00a0there are a few personnel the Dragonborn can hire. To do this, they’ll need a Steward. Any Housecarl can fulfill this role, but there are plenty of other options as well, typically recruitable followers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Dragonborn can speak to their Steward to purchase supplies or to pay to furnish any previously constructed room in the house. They can also buy animals, a carriage (including a carriage driver), and hire a bard to fill this lovely home with music.<\/p>\n
