Building a whole house takes WAY too much effort if you ask me. And not very good returns. Or at least not any that are worth the trouble.

Hearthfire is by far the weakest expansion of Skyrim.
I really like the idea of owning a property but it's not implemented very well.

Buying a house with gold and customizing it is fun, but if you want to build your own house, gathering the materials might be very tedious and exhausting. Granted, it's still worth checking out because it adds some slightly important elements.

Final Rating: "Average" ~ 5/10.

Bom complemento, construir casas, comprar terras, adotar crianças, bandidos sequestrando sua esposa....

Home decor & adoptable children turn Skyrim into a bizarrely compelling fusion of Diablo and life sim. I doubt Bethesda will ever expand on this but someone else absolutely should.


Adopting a family and building a home is such a satisfying thing to do at the end of your playthrough.

The adoption and marriage parts are great but the house building can be kinda dull, plus, the house decorations make no sense??

the most broken and asanine DLC since horse armor

Fun for about 20 minutes but fails to offer much of substance.

I loved the element of building you own house and that it wasn't an easy task getting materials making it feel more realistic and immersive. I liked the range of options for housing layouts but would have loved a bit more creative control on how the houses looked.

I played this on a save once and completely forgotten about it. I prefer the house mods. 😞

Lame DLC. The housing options are very limited.

what good is this dlc if serena cant move in with me ಥ_ಥ

I think getting to build your own house in Skyrim adds a lot to the role-playing nature of the game, as it allows players to choose where they want to live of three different options. However, it is stupid how you need to collect different materials and then how weird it is to create the different parts of the house.
