This mod adds dried catnip to Skyrim, purchasable from the Khajiit caravans. If you are a Khajiit, the effects will be like that of a drug - similar to how catnip affects cats in the real world. Falskaar should be included in any top list of quest mods. This gargantuan DLC sized mod brings a fully voiced 30+ hour adventure in a completely new land. It’s less focused on adding things like spells, weapons, and armor but brings awesome, high-quality quests for both its main story and the side content. A definite must for any Skyrim player.

Available Houses
All three of the new pieces of property can be purchased for 5000 gold.
- Heljarchen Hall — Located in the Pale, this plot of land may be purchased from the Jarl of Dawnstar in the White Hall. You will have to complete the quest Waking Nightmare, and then the favor quest Kill the Giant before being allowed to purchase the property if Skald is still jarl. (Note: This favor has a prerequisite of being level 22.) If you are thane of the hold, you will be appointed a housecarl named Gregor. It is located in the south of the Pale, not far north of Whiterun (you can see the castle in Whiterun from the house); the closest landmarks are the Tower of Mzark, Loreius Farm and Blizzard Rest.
- Lakeview Manor — Located in Falkreath Hold, this plot of land may be purchased from the steward of Falkreath in the Jarl's Longhouse. You will have to complete the quest Kill the Bandit Leader before being allowed to purchase the property if Siddgeir is still jarl. If you are thane of the hold, you will be appointed a housecarl named Rayya. It is located directly north of Pinewatch and very close by.
- Windstad Manor — Located in Hjaalmarch, this plot of land may be purchased from the steward of Morthal at Highmoon Hall. You will have to complete the quest Laid to Rest before being allowed to purchase the property if Idgrod is still jarl. If you are thane of the hold, you will be appointed a housecarl named Valdimar. It is located in the north of the hold, not far south of Solitude; the closest landmarks are Ustengrav and the Abandoned Shack.
Notes
- Five new achievements can be earned after installing Hearthfire, listed on this page.
- Four new loading screens are added after installing Hearthfire, listed on this page.
- Hearthfire was subject to a 30 day exclusivity deal with Microsoft, where it was only available on the Xbox 360. As it turned out, it was released for the PC after 30 days, but due to severe performance issues, it wasn't until February 2013 that it was released for the PS3.
- Display cases are not the same as the ones in other houses, so they do not allow you the 'place weapon' option.
- All areas of the player-built homes will reset to their original furnishings; only the storage containers and any items you drop from your inventory will be left as is. This allows storage in containers to be safe while respawning resources (e.g., the greenhouse) can replenish their stocks.
Bugs
- Mannequins may experience duplication issues, regardless of which plot of land the home is built on.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.0.1 of the Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.
- Sleeping in beds will not grant the Well Rested bonus, although if you have a spouse and/or children they will confer the Lover's Comfort and Mother's/Father's Love bonuses.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.0.1 of the Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.
- A cooking pot in Proudspire Manor was removed.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.0.1 of the Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.
- Mannequins will occasionally be displaced from their pedestals.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.0.3 of the Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.
- This can be fixed by placing an item on the mannequin. It can then be taken off, and the mannequin will remain in place.
- When firing your bard they may not leave but stop playing and hang around your house.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.1.1 of the Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.
- Objects in some rooms may fail to render at certain camera angles if you have built a large percentage of the improvements for that room. They're still there, but just invisible.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.1.2 of the Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.
- Wolf attacks may not work properly due to missing property settings in the game data.
- This bug is fixed by version 2.0.0 of the Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.
- When placing items in rooms, sometimes items that you've already created appear available on the workbench, and you can attempt to remake them (taking resources to do so), but will get nothing new.
- Exiting the menu may resolve this.
- Crafting items, such as glass, goat horns, and straw, may disappear from general merchants' inventory completely.
- The containers in the houses will not show stolen items in red, like all other containers. The only way to tell if an item in a container is stolen is to take it. It will show the usual marker in the inventory menu.
- Even if you have a pickaxe in your inventory, you may be unable to interact with the stone quarry or clay deposit. ?
- Some NPCs may not display their clothing. ?
- Huskies and death hounds may vanish from the house after becoming pets and will not show up at their original areas. ?
- Using the forge at your home may cause the grindstones and workbenches to become unusable. ?
- Reloading a save prior to using the forge will solve this.
- Dropping items from your inventory in some of the rooms will sometimes result in them disappearing completely. ?
- You may lose the option to hire a bard for your homestead if you purchase all of the other improvements first.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.1.2 of the Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.
- This can be solved by killing your horse or cow, entering your home (and going back outside if your steward is outside). This should restore the option to hire a bard and buy replacements for your dead livestock. Note that it is advisable to hire the bard first, or you may once again lose the option to do so.

Skyrim has its fair share of astounding houses to inhabit. You will find remarkable places to live in the various locations of Northern Tamriel.
However, if you have already spent several hours in the game, you may be tired of seeing the same locations on repeat.
A solution to this problem includes installing any of the DLC’s released for the game, but even those will get old quickly, especially if you spend a good chunk of your time roaming the realms of the Dragonborn and Dawnguard DLC’s.
Enter player house mods.
The following player houses can be added to the game by downloading and installing them locally. I’m here to rank my favorites totaling 25 player house mods, all totally free to download and use.
25. Radun Castle
Radun is a magnificent castle offering more than a pretty place to live. The house and buildings of this castle are custom-made and extend a unique look you will not be able find elsewhere.
There are dozens boxes and chests for player storage, as well as a feeling of valor only a castle such as Radun can make you feel.
This castle prepares you for war, as its draw bridge and 16 guards (custom-made by the modder) help you defend the castle walls against any invader who dares breach its gates.
24. Castle Gonduin
Castle Gonduin is a beautiful castle located on a hill. It resembles the vanilla castles introduced in the base game Skyrim.
However it seems much larger and makes you feel further immersed thanks to the fact you need to complete a quest if you wish to obtain ownership of this mighty stronghold.
You will certainly feel like you are in your own little town if you receive this awesome fortress; be sure to complete the ownership quest as soon as you download the mod!
23. Castle Argol
Even though the Argol cannot be obtained with a quest, you are able to purchase the land on which it is erected. 2004 jeep grand cherokee driver door wiring diagram.
You can then slowly build this fortress from the ground up by purchasing the various parts and keys with money from your own purse.
This massive castle includes several shops, such as a jewelry store, a butcher, blacksmith, and a personal inn for you to drink away your days to hearts content.
It’s big.
The castle also comes with several guards who will serve at your command. Be sure to put them to good use!
22. Castle Riverwood
As the name of this player house suggests, Castle Riverwood adds a massive fortress adjacent to Riverwood.
The castle is taller than it is broad, nonetheless, it is one of the best player houses in the Nexus community.
It has a traditional castle look, which evokes memories of many games you have most likely played as a child, and it fits into the lore of Skyrim.
21. Dragons Keep
Dragons Keep might remind you of Solitude, the capital of Skyrim. The castle looks to be lying on top of two rocks, giving the illusion of a floating castle.
Dragons Keep is a unique house; it serves as a boarding school to the many children who are orphaned across Skyrim.
This massive place allows up to 12 children to be placed under the care of tutors!
20. Dova Strunmah Hall
If you are unhappy with a regular player house, the Dova Strunmah Hall is what you are after.
This massive residence lies on top of the Throat of the World, making it one of the most elevated player houses on the list.
The Hall adds a unique type of architecture into your routine, with countless rooms and massive halls to walk while you admire its structure.
This Hall also adds various types of armor and allows you access to mannequins, all of which permits you to display the mighty honors you have earned during your journeys throughout the cold region of Tamriel.
19. Suncrest Hall
If you are a fan of looking over at the sky and admiring its might, the Suncrest Hall is going to absolutely fascinate you.
The house provides a spot to look at the vast heavens almost everywhere you go—including your own room.
This house is incredibly well decorated and is one of the most stunning homes on this list.
Furthermore, you will be able to admire the various constellations of the realm from the comfort of your own room, as well as through the halls of this massive mansion.
There is not much to dislike about the aesthetically pleasing Suncrest Hall.
18. Castle Mendoza
Castle Mendoza is already a complete castle; you may not need to leave this home unless you are going on a quest.
The castle comes equipped with various weapon racks and plates where you can go questing. It is also incredibly huge.
If you are fan of owning a large home, kinda like the ones in the Dawnguard DLC, you will absolutely love Mendoza. Bet on it! Kx project audio driver windows 10.
17. Dragonsmount
Although the size of this manor is smaller than others, Dragonsmount is one house which resembles Solitude in design.
The design takes the cake and earns it a place above other castles on this list, however. It has a stunning view of the region and allows you to sit on its huge balcony to enjoy a meal with your partner and children.
The house is a perfect combination of spacey and quaint. This means you will be able to find most things quickly, and companions will not elude you when roaming the halls of this splendid manor.
16. Dragon Lord Castle
Most base-game castles do not suit the Dragonborn and their might. Some players feel as if they deserve a larger castle to live in after having killed Alduin and several other dragons across the game.
True piano vst keygen for mac download. Complete with indoor waterfalls and weapon racks, the Dragon Lord Castle makes it truly worthy of being the player home of the Dovahkiin.
The home comes with 4 merchants who sell various goods, as well as rooms for you to practice spell craft and smithing to your hearts content.
There is also a massive treasure room for you to sell your goods!
15. Lake Ilinalta Estate

The house is located floating on top of Lake Ilinalta, close to Riverwood.
With dozens of unique meshes, and a design that sets it apart from the rest of the houses on this list, Lake Ilinalta Estate is a beautiful home many Nexus visitors keep close to their hearts.
14. Castle Valdmire
Looking for a castle to inhabit fitting of your vampiric lore?
The Valdmire castle is one of the best modded additions in the game if you are a vampire. With a dark design and a rather eerie feeling, it will suit the darkest lord of the night.
The house is adoption friendly and has room for storage, as well as decorations, such as flowers and weapon racks.
The design is suitable for those who want to roleplay as a vampire, with candles being the only emitted light source.
13. Castle Orlok
Do you love huge homes but hate a lack of ornate detail?
Castle Orlok is yours for the taking.
This castle is massive. But the creator of this mod has considered many details, making the huge halls of this Castle full and ornate.
With a dark theme, the castle has gardens on the inside and a ton of storage room for you to enjoy.
It also comes with a quest, which teaches the lore of the Castle and brings awareness of what was happening before your arrival to Orlok.
12. Vortai – Home in the Sky
Vortai is not only an amazing home, it is also a hub where you can travel to all of the big cities in the game without having to visit them first.
As its name suggests, it is located in the sky. You can overlook most of Skyrim by standing on any of its edges. Sounds great, right?
“There must be a catch!” You are wondering.
Well, there is. Vortai does not come free.
In order to make this house your home, you will need to access a portal near Riften and face the foe that lies on the other side.
You will need to beat one of the strongest warriors who grace Sovngarde, but if you do so, this home and all of its goods will be yours for taking.
11. Castle Volkihar Rebuild
Castle Volkihar may already be in the game, but its current state is underwhelming. It does not serve the good purpose of a player home.
As such, this mod allows you to clean everything left behind in the Volkihar Castle and properly set it up as a home.
The North Tower of the castle will become a fully functional player home, after the debris is cleared. The castle itself will be yours to roam around.
10. Wyvern Rock Castle
The Wyvern Rock Castle lies on top of a mountain. Inside it, many secrets are hidden.
The walls of the Wyvern Rock Castle are filled with secret rooms, waiting to be found with massive amounts of treasure inside them.
There are various shops and vendors alongside the castle, making it feel like a small, booming town more than a normal home for the player.
9. Castle Draco
Now that you have come this far down our list, you will begin finding some of the best castles we have come across in the Nexus.
Many vendors in Castle Draco sell expensive goods difficult to find elsewhere in the game. You will need to go to Riverwood and find the history book of the castle.
Upon reading this book, you will have a chance to speak to Mal’com, who will grant you the ownership of the land!
8. Castle Strunmah
Castle Strunmah can be obtained for free by visiting the Dragon Bridge Mountain, as the home lies on its peak.
The beautiful castle has many windows, allowing you to enjoy the stunning views of Skyrim from the comfort of your new fortress.

With its amazing design, this place resembles the Renaissance with countless halls, huge tables, dark environments, and a masterfully crafted main room with dozens of display cases available.
7. The Evil Mansion
Based on the Resident Evil mansion, this Evil Mansion is plagued with enemies in every room.
Weird but kind of a cool detail, right? An honor to a classic series.
You can live here as long as you kill all the dark entities who roam the house. Do not expect the eerie feeling to go away—it most definitely will not.
In any case, though the mansion is not as detailed as others, it is still one of the best on our list and a great node that every Resident Evil fan will surely appreciate!
6. Azura’s Dawn
Based on the Goddess, Azura, Azura’s Dawn is a striking mansion with custom-made furniture and exteriors, placing it amongst the top 2 best houses in the modding community, excluding castles.
The downside, however, is that it does not come with guards.
You may need to search around for extra mods if you wish to have guards here.
Other than that, this house is one of the best player houses in which you can relax peacefully without worries.
5. Castle Grey
Castle Grey is one of the largest castles to make it on this list, and is certainly one that most resembles a medieval castle.
The mountain where it is located lies near the Dragonbridge.
It has many containers for storage of goods, as well as spectacular views that serve to calm you after a long, stressful days of bloodshed and adventures.

This is reflected in the fact that it is one of the most downloaded mods in the Nexus website. And you can enjoy it with just Dragonborn and Dawnguard installed!

A brilliant castle for almost any player.

This beautiful mansion combines styles from various types of architectures and serves as one of the most majestic places on this list.

This tower includes a smithing station, an alchemy lab, an enchanting station, and a huge kitchen.
1. Caranthr Tower Reborn
Caranthr has the first spot on our list due to its awesome lore, incredibly detailed features, and the amount of work put into this mod.
Located near Winterhold, this is the best wizard town ever created by modders for any Elder Scrolls game. It provides the choice to build it as you would like, thanks to the Hearthfire system it incorporates.
