I am not happy with some of my Hearthfire houses. I wanted to redo them, read around, and followed advise

- to save game,
- to empty the houses of all items, release all staff,
- save game again,
- leave the game and restart it,
- deactivate the esm file for Hearthfire when rebooting the game, having a world cleaned of Hearthfire content,
- save game again,
- leave and restart game,
- reactivate the Hearthfire esm,

and then being able to restart the Hearthfire content in game from my last save game position, so all progress and story telling not being lost.

However, it does not work for me. When having switched of Hearthfire and trying to reload the save game (that was expected to complain about game content now missing, and asking me whether I want to restart nevertheless), the game does no start and doe snot give me that message, but simply goes CTD.

Not funny.

Reactivating the esm and reloading the very first save game from before any changes, works however, and everything is nice. Just that all the houses are there like I do not want them anymore.

Any remedy? Or is there a mod that allows to change house wings or send the esm content back to the starting line?

BTW, I recommend you have a look at the beautifully done and really nice Millwater Retreat mod. You build an increasingly complex domicile and even start running a business with a mill, and as a fisher. Nicely done, really, very charming.

I haven't played Hearthfire.

I haven't played any of the DLC actually....

Is the DLC worth it? Do they really add any good features?

Skybird · 07-19-13, 06:26 PM

Hm, the Forgotten Valley was a quest that ranks amongst the best I have played, with some really unforgettable sights and places. I met cute Serana. Got new options for more realistically looking armour. I still got attacked by vampires in the night, once in a while. Built three houses and started to collect and arrange items and staff. Went off to Solstheim, with another great looking quest cave there, and a new terrain as big as Riften.

All in all, even when considering that all three DLCs have bugs, yes, I think it still was worth it. But it is a question of taste. I cannot get enough of Skyrim. Others maybe can.

Nobody no answer to my question on the houses?

I am now at the point of remembering events and places in Skyrim the way I remember beloved events and sights and sounds from my own real life. I miss it so much.

But I have hours of modding to do before I can get back into playing, and I'm afraid to start on it because I have too much real life stuff to do and don't want to get sidetracked with that particular obsession.

Sadly I have no answer for you on the houses, I have the DLCs but have yet to play with any of them enabled.

I'll probably get the DLC's when they drop in price.

I'd answer your question...but

...no DLC...

To be honest, Hearthfire can simply be ignored. The content isnt that great, nor very functional and it causes trouble with maaaany mods, so you may consider leaving it be. For me, the house bulding system is crap and not very thought-through. The best feature of Hearthfire, in my opinion, is the one I was interested in the least... the adoption thingie. I adopted a girl once I build a house and it was quite lovely to "come home" and there is someone happy to see you... just like a dog...

Hungry for houses?
Check out "Build your own house" mod for Skyrim, I tried and liked it, but thats just me.

I am planning on upgrading my system (mainly for SBP PE 3.0

) and then I will also return to Skyrim once again. Hope to see you guys there!

Life is an obsession that players shall not allow to interfere with their real life in Skyrim.

Grr.... Freaking hate mods sometimes. Came home for the weekend wanting to play Skyrim, download 4 new mods. Load up SKSE and crash. Disable the 4 mods. Crash. Disable everything. Crash. Disable everything in NMM and crash.. go to load up everything in the Skyrim manager and it's all out of order.

Screw this stuff.

Krauter · 07-28-13, 03:26 PM

Just wondering if this is the case for anyone else. Anytime Skyrim gets Alt-Tabbed, or minimized. I can't get the game back up so I need to shut it down and restart. Not so bad except Norton constantly pops up and asks if I want them contaminating my computer again. Anyone else have this? How do I fix it?

I remember having occasional issues with not being able to alt-tab/minimize and then get the game back to full screen again... TBH I think it wasn't so much that as it was the issue with the Windows cursor staying on the screen and active (in addition to the in-game pointer) sometimes and I can't remember what the trick was to making it all work right.

Altho my first suggestion would be to get rid of Norton, but that has nothing to do with Skyrim.

Hit escape first, alt+tab the game, re-enter game, enjoy Skyrim without pesky windows cursors!

Generally speaking, Skyrim isn't a game that takes kindly to being minimized. I always exit if I need to get to the desktop.

I used to play MMORPGs until I took a dissertation to the knee.
