This is better DLC

[Himu]

Oh my god 

[Human Snorenado]

This dlc seems intended only for himu

[Great Rumbler]

A mod like that is really only of interest to 360 gamers, who don't have access to Skyrim Workshop.

This dlc seems intended only for himu

Mmm hm! It feels nice to be the sole target from a dev like Bethesda!

Orphan hoarding.

When's the PS3 version out

[Human Snorenado]

Can you put the orphans to work, like in a sweatshop?

[Human Snorenado]

I can only eagerly await Himu's sims-esque tales of life with his waifu Lydia and their adopted rugrats.

[Joe Molotov]

I hope you can train them to pickpocket and create your own high fantasy version of Oliver Twist.

I'm drunk as fuck right now. And this post made me laugh my ass out more than it should have.

[etiolate]

I might get in on this.

[Bildi]

I sincerely hope we can build more than one house.  That would really eat up my time.  Also, I could adopt all the children in Skyrim and store them inside one house.  Preferrably somewhere up north and out of the way.

The only thing missing is a patch so items placed on surfaces don't explode everywhere when you leave the room.

IM GONNA HAVE ALL SWEET ARMORS SET UP

Seriously, we need lots of mannequins.  And the mounted mudcrabs have me pretty excited about what we might be able to mount.  I wanna mount everything.

[Bildi]

MULTIPLE HOMES.  FUCK YEAH.

DESCRIPTION

With this official add-on to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you can purchase land and build your own home from the ground up - from a simple one-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with an armory, alchemy laboratory, stable, garden, and more. Use all-new tools like the drafting table and carpenter’s workbench to transform quarried stone, clay, and sawn logs into structures and furnishings. Even transform your house into a home by adopting children.

KEY FEATURES:

Choose Your Land - Choose from property in the salt marshes of Hjaalmarch, the forests of Falkreath, or the vast tundra of The Pale. For the more ambitious landowner, purchase multiple plots and start building a real estate empire.

Customize Your Home – Expand your home with a variety of room combinations including an armory, alchemy tower, kitchen, trophy room and more. Grow plants in your new greenhouse, cultivate slaughterfish in the fish hatchery, house your Arcane Enchanter in the enchanting tower, or display your latest conquest in the trophy room. Add additional features like stables, mills, smelters, gardens and more.

New Objectives and Interactions – Guard your home from unwanted visitors like marauding kidnappers, armed bandits, and skeever infestations. Turn almost any follower into your personal steward to improve and protect your home. Or if you require more help, hire a personal bard or carriage driver to ease the burdens of home ownership.

i will definitely be building a dungeon for all the miserable children of skyrim

Carried on from the Xbox Live is down thread.

Hopefully it will last long enough for me to reach skill level 100 in smithing and enchanting. I quit playing after I crafted this totally awesome ebony armor set.

(Image removed from quote.)

The ebony is cool, but dude, that glass armour looks amazing.  I use glass armour but my character is male, and I've never seen the female version of the armour- it's even more awesome than the male version.  Glass skirt -

I got smithing, enchanting and alchemy up to 100 after a bit of grinding early on and made some really good glass armour with double enchantments, mainly for archery and to get the casting cost for destruction spells to NIL. 

For a change of pace I've been thinking of crafting some tank-like armour with massive single-handed or two-handed, health and stamina enchantments.  Proximity to the enchanting table in Whiterun has put me off a bit though.

And... Hearthfire is out.  But I have to go to work. :'(

Been mucking about with it for a couple of hours - it looks like a good timesink.  I don't think it's super-customisable - I was given the choice to build some furniture and the game put it in a pre-determined area.  So I think you're still at the mercy of Bethesda's designers and whether they've put containers in useful places.

But you have some different choices for type of wings you want to add onto your houses, so you could build fairly different houses in each available location.  I'm not sure if all houses will look exactly the same or not in terms of the style of the house, I'm only working on one so far.

And finally some use for those otherwise-useless sawmills.  I wonder if this was the plan for them all along.

[archnemesis]

I think it was and I've been hauling around a woodcutter's axe for 50 hours, just in case. Having a fully developed crafting system is one of the few reasons I look forward to The Elder Scrolls Online.
