None of the characters make a "better" steward; they all behave exactly the same in that role. They also still work as followers: you can still ask them to follow you again, marry them, etc. The only thing that changes when you make a follower a steward is where they hang out when they stop following you. Like the housecarl for the appropriate hold, your ...

The wood needed in the Hearthfire DLC is distinct from the wood you can obtain from any chopping block. You are looking for Sawn Logs. These can be purchased from several log merchants in the game: Aeri - Anga's Mill in the Pale Bolund - The wood mill in Falkreath Gilfre - Mixwater Mill in Eastmarch Grosta - Heartwood Mill in the Rift Hert - Half-Moon Mill ...

To start the Dawnguard main quest (and also the side quests) your character must be at least level 10. You will get the quest by visiting a city and listening for rumors or someone will approach you to recruit you into Dawnguard. There is also a side quest (Lost to the Ages) after you read a book (The Aetherium Wars). For Hearthfire there is no particular ...

Dawnguard has a minimum level requirement of 10. I'd recommend waiting until 15-20 though since some of the quests are long and tough (lots of trekking through falmer infested territory). Hearthfire can be started at any time as its simply a material collection quest to build a house. Though collecting all the materials may take a long time. Dragonborn ...

To answer your main question; yes. There are five achievements worth 50 points in total, details here - http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/elder-scrolls-v/achievements/ To correct your assumption, unless you have knowledge that nobody else seems to, the "30 days" that you quote is in relation to xBox exclusivity, and not to availability as a whole. ...

I never had mobs spawn in my house, but I regularly had thieves, giants and other nuisances right outside of my home. And neither my housecarl nor anyone else took care of them. My assumption is that they do not spawn unless you are there. The skeevers are an exception to appear as a house pest in the cellar. You wive might alert you that she heard ...

Enemies won't attack your house unless you are in very close proximity. Avoid loitering around the immediate surroundings of your house, if you need to visit it - fast travel there directly, if you want to visit a nearby location, fast travel to the house and if the coast is clear walk to your destination. When you arrive at the house, use Detect life and ...

There are only a few NPCs that will sell you Sawn Logs (these are different from Firewood). The UESP has a handy list: It sounds like you may not be talking to Hod, but one of his employees (Faendal, perhaps?). If you can't find him, consider one of the other NPCs.

Okay. I'll leave the question up, since it seems to be not uncommon, but a slightly different google search returned some helpful results that solved my problem. There's a courier at the beginning of Hearthreach. He tells you a bunch of stuff...but if you're like me, and carrying 300 books, you might lose track of the various pieces of paper he gives you, ...

You need to have the Hearthfire DLC install the kids bedroom in one of your city houses or have one of the houses that you build yourself in Hearthfire To calm down the kids in the orphanage you can use a calm spell or shout. See more information here.

In addition to adopting from the orphanage in Riften, you can also adopt some children in other cities as well: Alesan in Dawnstar Blaise in Solitude Lucia in Whiterun Sofie in Windhelm See the Elder Scrolls Wiki for more information.

These are all the characters you can have in your house The housecarl The steward (somebody other than the housecarl) Your spouse The bard, hired via steward The cart driver, sort of (he hangs outside your house in his cart all day) Up to 2 adopted children Up to 2 children's pets, which can be dogs or some other creatures: mudcrabs, skeevers, etc. You ...

Near any house plot in Skyrim Hearthfire there is a quarry in the direct vicinity of the house plot. As example, for the house plot in Falkreath, the quarry is directly next to the construction bench. You just need a pickaxe to quarry it. Fortunately there is a pickaxe right next to it. There are some other places too in the world, but I don't think it ...

Usually when I construct a house with the Hearthfire DLC, I'll save before hand to make sure I like the items I've added inside of the house because there isn't a way of undoing the changes once they've been committed. You'll have to reload a previous save and make sure you save before each incremental change to the house.

Any container INSIDE your house is guaranteed safe. On the other hand, containers OUTSIDE the house (i.e. barrels, food bags etc) is NOT guaranteed safe. This also applied to any house that isn't yours, although you can sleep in it (i.e. Alchemist's Shack). Exception for Hearthfire, those containers outside your house are safe storages so don't worry about ...

I solved it by following this guide: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Use-the-Skyim-Console-to-Get-Past-Broken-Quests-on-the-PC-242822.shtml. Here is what I did: Open console, then type ShowQuestTargets. Use pageup and pagedown on your keyboard to find your quest that is stuck, in my case Favor154. Type Player.sqs Favor154 in the console to see your ...

Taken from the Skyrim Wiki: After telling adopted children to go to bed, they will instead appear to sit on thin air or refuse to perform any other animations. Can be fixed by simply saving and reloading. I presume it's one of those bugs that have yet to be fixed, and unfortunately until then I don't think there's much more of a solution. Save -> ...

If you don't have Hearthfire, then you'd have to install mods like Adopt a child to allow adoption of children. This mod, in particular, will allow you to adopt a child from the Honorhall Orphanage in Riften. I've checked out Skyrim Nexus and it seems that the current available mods there that allow adopting of kids not from Honorhall require that the ...

You should still be able to get married even if you already have a child. Both the UESP wiki and the TES wiki mentions instances of your spouse also adopting your children which you had before you were married. Check if you have completed the requirements for marriage: You will not be able to marry anyone until you have spoken to Maramal about ...

In order to adopt children you need to put in two childs beds AND the childs chests. You have to have the chests too otherwise it won't work :) That's what happened to me, if that didn't work then I literally have no idea, try and adopt homeless children (like in whiterun or windhelm) instead of the orphanage.

Yes it is possible, but a bit of a brainteaser to get it done. Using the console you can type: sqv byohhousepale sqv byohhousefalkreath sqv byohhousehjaalmarch This will show all "enable" & "disable" ID's of variables for specific rooms and room-items in groups. Then "just" with command prid "specific ID for room or item" select it remotely and ...

So I found the problem and I am answering for those that may encounter it too. It's certainly some kind of bug. Problem details: "When trying to give items to the kid (givable items of course) the items in the give menu were grayed out as if the kid was overencumbered and could not hold any more load" The bold part is actually the key to the solution. In ...
