Lakeview Manor is my favorite. Very scenic location and being just down the road from both Riverwood and Falkreath is comfy. Plus Rayya is a pretty cool Housecarl.
>far away from most merchants and commercial areas >surrounded by wolves and moron giants trespassing your property >looks like a modern architecture mansion making it out of the game's aesthetic
I don't like all the bandit and giant attacks those hearthfire houses get I just want to chill at my property without getting ambushed walking out the door and my wife getting murdered.

Love me alchemy
because its 5k its the only thing you need besides a cooking station and alchemy station. The rest of the housing is just bragging rights. Now on Survival mode I would argue the houses become more important.
You could buy a bunch of houses in Oblivion and people would often take over an npcs home in Morrowind to display stuff. I'm not sure what new demographic you're talking about.
There are a few storage items in the game that never reset their inventory. If you mark them and know to return to them, you can dump all your garbage inside. I think one was the barrel in town near the guard barracks, but most are in camps.
I remember once in a playthrough I found this mod that made an absolutely amazing house at the east side of the Hrothgar mountains. It was suspended really high, with a great view of the whole eastern area. It looked cool too.
Only issue is, it didn't have any mannequins. So I ended up having to painstakingly add them one by one through with several prop mods. But it was absolutely worth it in the end. It was a home truly worth of a dragonborn, not some dinky little peasant tier wood hut in the woods.
If we're talking base game I liked Proudspire up until the mannequins started moving. With dlc I liked taking over Harkon's room in Volkihar. As for the anniversary edition the only ones I ever got around to checking was the plantation which was nice but not my style and the vampire cave which was also nice but too isolated and too many enemy encounters.
It really is. It doesn't have all the functionalities of other homes and homestead but it's somehow the most comfiest.
Also helps that it is in Whiterun. Probably the best city to raise your kids in the world of Skyrim.
Apart from this, I also like Tundra Homestead. it's outside Whiterun but it's got all the facilities (except traders) and is pretty comfy
>Breezehome
Only one I use.
Close to merchants, potion and ingredient dump and book storage at the back.
I install the college mod though, that shit is perfect, has a college with shot loads of materials, all skill books etc close to whiterun
yeah as much as i hate to admit it, none of the other vanilla player homes are as good as Breezehome.
being close to all the shops you need, its in the centre of the map, Whiterun is the main quest hub of the game and so on
only complaint apart from the enchanting table thing is its kinda small.
Riften house is a close second only cuz it has a door that goes straight outside without having to go thru a couple of loading screens.
the other ones are pretty shit.
never liked the vanilla house building homes but some of the mods where you build your own farmhouse or village are pretty fricking comfy.
forget the name of the mod but there's one that lets you build your own entire town west of Riften in the woods, complete with mines, farms, mills, lumberjacks, shops etc that all generate passive income and resources
I remember once running through a random location and stumbling upon a camp. I thought it was bandits, but it turned out to be some soldiers. They started attacking me right away. I had to kill them all. But there was one undead character. He just fell on his ass every time his health ran out and quickly got back up and attacked me again. I quit the game and uninstalled it and that was the last time I ever started that game (I tried to play it several times and I have 100 hours in it, I was younger and I still had hope that maybe it's a decent game after all and I always gave it another chance because, like, millions of people can't lie, can they?)
WHAT FRICKING Black person THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO PUT HOSTILE CHARACTERS ON YOUR WAY TO SOME RANDOM LOCATION AND THOSE HOSTILE CHARACTERS THAT ATTACK YOU BY DEFAULT CAN'T BE FRICKING KILLED, WHAT KIND OF Black person GAME DESIGN IS THAT, TODD?
Whiterun's home is only useful because every shop you need is pretty much right next to it and only takes a couple minutes to get to if you're overencumbered and trying to dump loot on merchants with pitiful amounts of coin. All the hearthfire ones are good for is busywork, and getting slightly better cooked food.
Named, essential generals in soldier camps were completely pointless. You have to use cut content restoration mods to even give them a point, and even then they're essential until your side wins the war and you just get radiant quests to off the remaining camps.
Just as pointless as making all your followers invincible to all but your own attacks so the only reason to ever swap away from one generic archetype follower to another is when you get bored of one, or accidentally smack Janessa in the back of the head while trying to fight an enemy.
Solitude home. It's one of the biggest house with good scenery. The whole iceland and tundra gets old real fast, so a place with actual greenery is more appreciated.
Riften or Markath would be the 2nd choice. The rift is probably the best looking place in Skyrim only the house is pretty bland, while Markath is the other way around.
>Taking a Dibellan prostitute as a wife >Not just a prostitute, but a pedo too
We should have been able to destroy the the temple.

What is the best Skyrim player home and why is it Breezehome?
That creation club farm was a good idea, I wish would have been in the base game. Ain't blowing money on that shit.
Lakeview is the best for family, the one out in the marsh is the best for being a sorcerer lair.
the cult of dibella are weird. it's basically a sex cult/religious brothel. I don't remember if it was an in-game lore book, rumour dialogue from Morrowind/Daggerfall, or MK's deranged forum (hopefully that lol) but priests and priestesses of dibella are inducted into the cult as children are start off serving refreshments to the clergy/patrons
you're not praying to dibella if you're not ploughing
TES is a pretty fricked up and alien society.
crimes are more enforced racially/religiously than nationally. bosmer practice cannibalism religiously (funerals) and most people are like "lol those kooky wood elves eating grandma again"
dunmer have a strict ban on necromancy because the ancestors willingly help their descendants, so necromancy is basically forcing them out. breaking this as a dunmer will be enforced by the great houses/ordinators within Morrowind, but if you're a dunmer outside of Morrowind you'll have the morag tong sent after you (who had a semi-legal status across the Septim Empire.
each religion basically polices itself
For me, it was the home in Markarth, and my game was bugged so the male Housecarl wasn't present, just my hot alchemist wife and our orphan girl hidden away up in those rocks, cozy as fCUk
>easy to get to and relatively inexpensive >a bit cramped, but cozy for one >in the middle of the game world >has almost all the essentials, only issue in the unmodified game is lacking an arcane enchanter
7/10 it's okay. At least it's not a Hearthfire home.
>no enchanting table
That's what Dragonsreach is for plus you get to visit with your pal Farengar
>running all the way across town or going through two loading screens whenever you need to enchant
no
>2023
>still playing Skyrim
>not playing on a PC with instant load times
>starts insulting you with his best Sean Connery impression
Captain Voice Acting himself
There's one just a short walk away in Dragonsreach. Go for a walk, say hello to the neighbours.
I prefer the home in Riften
glorified shed, barely a home at all
Lakeview Manor is my favorite. Very scenic location and being just down the road from both Riverwood and Falkreath is comfy. Plus Rayya is a pretty cool Housecarl.
I think this is the most popular choice and I agree with it, Lakeview Manor is my home.
>far away from most merchants and commercial areas
>surrounded by wolves and moron giants trespassing your property
>looks like a modern architecture mansion making it out of the game's aesthetic
Yep, Lakeview followed by Riften.
>install tree mods
>now becomes Treeview Manor
Thanks Modd'ers.
I don't like all the bandit and giant attacks those hearthfire houses get I just want to chill at my property without getting ambushed walking out the door and my wife getting murdered.
Mjoll is unkillable, and no other female is worthy of being a wife
Yes, but what layout is most popular?
I prefer Bedroom, Storage Room, and Kitchen
Same. That layout is cozy for a family home.
I dont remember what I usually use for lakieview since I havent played skyrim in while.
But I remember that I always get the tower
>greenhouse (with mods that let you plant dawnguard and dragonborn herbs and jarrin root)
>alchemical tower
>kitchen (with mods where food is actually useful)
Love me alchemy
because its 5k its the only thing you need besides a cooking station and alchemy station. The rest of the housing is just bragging rights. Now on Survival mode I would argue the houses become more important.
i beat the main quest of Skyrim without ever once buying a house
But where did you store your stuff?
In my inventory?
you dont need dragons' hoards to beat skyrim. People who keep useless crap and buy 5-10 houses are the demographic that killed this game.
You could buy a bunch of houses in Oblivion and people would often take over an npcs home in Morrowind to display stuff. I'm not sure what new demographic you're talking about.
There are a few storage items in the game that never reset their inventory. If you mark them and know to return to them, you can dump all your garbage inside. I think one was the barrel in town near the guard barracks, but most are in camps.
Uthgerd.
She was my sideho. I like old 30, 40 year olds.
Same bro, I had some based adventures with that wrinkly old b***h
Gave it all to Lydia. She is sworn to carry your burdens in all its forms.
who gives a frick.
homosexual thread
Hjerim is quite good, probably is haunted by the ghost of a murder victim but
have a nice day dumb Black person.

For me it's Angi's camp. Nice and isolated, beautiful views, safe storage, bed, tanning rack, workbench, cooking pot. It's got it all.
Angi's camp is nice, do you have to worry about containers refreshing?
no, the cupboard is safe. not the other storage though.
If we're talking base game I liked Proudspire up until the mannequins started moving. With dlc I liked taking over Harkon's room in Volkihar. As for the anniversary edition the only ones I ever got around to checking was the plantation which was nice but not my style and the vampire cave which was also nice but too isolated and too many enemy encounters.

I will play Starfield though.
>he thinks that there won't be essential characters in Starfield
Lol
Dare I say
Lmao even
I never said that. But they learned their lesson in F4, and unkillable characters don't just wander around the open world in random places.
>I will play Starfield though
Yes
oops forgot pic

>litteral Black person shithole
Where are your weapons and armour racks, trophies, chests, crafting stations and wife?
I thought the Markarth house was pretty good. Markarth also has Senna, a top tier wife.
>Taking a Dibellan prostitute as a wife
>Not just a prostitute, but a pedo too
We should have been able to destroy the the temple.

>pedo
what?
I thought the only crime the people in Markarth participated was cannibalism
They take a random little girl to make her their Dibellan pope.
Senna and the rest take her to the lower chambers to teach her the arts.
the cult of dibella are weird. it's basically a sex cult/religious brothel.

>sneedhome
for me its
vanilla: vlinderel hall
hearthfire: winstad
modded: elysium, blackthorn, lcbynh (skyrim) svellheim (solstheim)
breezehomes the only one i feel like is actually a home where you live in a village
How do I get 5000 goldfast to buy a house?
I try to loot everything and sell but it takes forever to get 5000 gold without cheats or mods
Have you tried Alchemy?
Breezehome is baby’s first. It’s cramped and lame. The house in solitude is where it’s at. The hearth fire homes are the most practical though
ACKSHUALLY it's this one.

Yeah lakeview manor is close but I want to be very clsoe to lake.
