Children's bedroom additions were made available for the other existing homes, though only in the case of Hjerim and Proudspire Manor are they capable of not replacing anything. |

And people wonder why I eschew mods and stick to the vanilla game... -_-
Quote:
The house-building process is very simple, it's just 1°) select a wing/section on the drawing board and then 2°) build the parts separately and watch everything come together 3°) then get inside, find a benchmark and craft tables/chairs/beds (can't customize the list for each room, it's all preset). But the initial moment of fun disappears relatively quickly after you've completed the home (and nope, you can't disassemble the wings and build new ones in their stead). Regardless, the manors are great places to store excess stuff you might've accrued in your backpack over time. The only problem is that for each manor you need to complete the respective jarl's quests and those can be annoying, not so much due to game difficulty but length (the Daedra's Best Friend quest sort of grated on my nerves, even though I completed it with no problem). As for the children-adopting thing...yeah. Can be heart-twinging (some of the children's stories are quite sad, such as the girl in Windhelm), amusing (you can watch your children bicker with each other) or annoying (they always beg for gifts whenever you come home - though you do have the option of answering "nope, don't have anything for you here"; for my part, I'm actively trying to turn the two girls diabetic by automatically giving them sweets/food, though you can visit the Khajiit or the general goods stores to buy toys). You can either play with them or command them to do their chores/go play outside/go to bed...but the amount of functionalities in Hearthfire child-rearing is IMHO quite limited - in other words, it gets tiresome -if not downright boring- after a while. New challenges? Well, just like in real-life, DIY houses are a money pit. You always need to buy new stuff, even though there are some resources you can mine (clay), smith (hinges, locks, fittings, nails) or collect (glass). The rest you need to buy (lumber, quarried stone, etc, etc). And then you have the random threats such as a lumbering giant stumbling upon your poor (j/k - darn, I almost felt like a jarl watching all of the stuff I had accumulated in those three manors, I was practically wealthier than the Battleborns) abodes, bandits (didn't encounter them) or skeevers (had them once in the Falkreath mansion, I think), which either you, your spouse or your steward (dunno if the steward is immortal, will have to check that on the wikis) can deal with. And then...the reported bugs. ... The most visible one was a bug in the housecarl dialogue when I want to buy furniture - somehow some options remain optional (which are then answered with "Sorry, but you can't afford that now"), even though you just bought them. Then I noticed some of the NPCs inside started clipping somewhat - my steward at Lakeview Manor was standing on a chair instead of sitting on it, and the cow outside was climbing my mansion's outer wall instead of grazing inside its pen. And...there is this weird problem with lighting that I'm having, not only around the mansions - for some reason, when I get on one side of a building (encountered this in Whiterun, near Belethor's store), the lighting very abruptly dims, even though I'm supposed to be in a very slight shade (the change was so sudden I started wondering whether a dragon was flying above me). So...all in all, yeah, Hearthfire does bring a couple fun things, but you quickly exhaust them...and then you run back to completing quests.

Perhaps a mod that offers new items to your inventory? Hearthfire added a few more objects (food, construction resources), so there could be an ID # conflict between HF's database and one of the mods'.
Either deactivate all mods and then reactivate them one by one...or revert to an earlier save.

I should hand it over to this guy for pulling off the impossible.
Skyrim Heimskr Trick Shot Round 2 ------- Well, bad news that one mod author based in Hong Kong had been locked down (third time) by the Nex for using what was deemed "licensed/copyrighted material" in all of his themed costume packages. Anyway, that modder should host his stuff someplace else, so Nex now makes me think it's the Youtube of mods -- content that you actually made, not ported from some other IP-sensitive game elsewyr.

Had to re-install Skyrim when reformat my computer, and not sure what mods to install.
So far I have the 1. UFO (Ultimate Follower Overhaul) 2. Skyrim HD - 2K Textures 3. Skyrim UI 4. Sounds of Skyrim - The Dungeons & The Wilds What are some more essentials. No need to recomend optional things like armors player homes, ect. Trying to basically just get a straight up skyrim game but improve all aspects of sound, graphics, immersion, realism, ect. I'll worry about what armor types, body types, hair, player homes, weapons, ect that I want to add into game. I just want to know what other BASIC essentials I'm missing. |
