Just a quick question, am I supposed to be able to build all the blueprints, or just a few. If I build my bedroom, kitchen, storage room, and main hall in my Lakeview Manor, the armory, greenhouse, enchanter's lad, and alchemy lab disappeared. I was wondering if this was a bug or just that I couldn't put up that much in one house.

Only one option per wing... You're not bugged.

Oh. Well, this seems as good a thread as any to throw this in. I pulled the following note from one of the talk pages of the UESP wiki. It refers to a bug related to the action of remodeling the small house into an entrance way, and it'll likely be of interest to players who are sticklers for detail:

"Some notes on bugs related to converting the small house to an entry hall: a bench and oval entryway rug are part of the fully upgraded Entry Hall, but they can't be crafted by the player since they were omitted from the crafting bench, so only your Steward can enable these additions. If this area was previously used as a small home, and you've opted to convert it into an entry hall, not all of the furniture from its previous "small home" will disappear. The end table with candles will remain, and this will conflict with the bench that the steward adds if you allow him/her to decorate, as will the wall hanging on the right of the door to the main hall- it will clip through the "improved" wall hanging that should replace it. I bypassed these visual errors when building my second home by simply not furnishing the small house at all, converting it to an entry hall as soon as was possible, and letting my steward handle all the decorations for the entry hall from there on."

The above is consistent with my own findings. I found it curious that the end table would remain in place if you furnished the small house and then remodeled, yet there would be no option to build anything in that spot at all if you forewent the small house furnishings and went straight to entryway furnishing. Anyway, the person who left this note has it right. For best results, skip the small house furnishings altogether, remodel it to an entranceway, and just let your steward handle the furnishings.

I agree, although I haven't yet experimented with the Steward.

As a higher level wealthy character I had the luxury of building the house all in one go (including avoiding furnishing the small house at all) and have experienced no glitches or bugs... I have done some research on what's included and based on some video walk throughs and the like, it appears I have managed to get all but the rug that you mentioned.

I also have not seen the rug, I did try a few times on Braggens second attempt to let the stewards furnish a bit, the last set up to do the entryway failed miserably and I gave up on the idea. Apparently I am not that patient a gamer. Might try it out on the third attempt, I still have one entryway that needs furnishing, I could put up with one not being fully furnished for ages.

so just a quick question ive noticed that in my house i cant actually use the display cases. is that a bug or are you realy just supposed to try and drop items into them.

You are meant to put the stuff in by hand, the old fashioned way.

well that will be fun. ugh

You have had plenty of time to master the technique of how to manually put whatever you want in them, the activation option was just a very limited system for those who needed help with display cases.
