Bethesda needs to fix this before they release Dawnguard next week. Just release a patch, please.

I agree. It probably won't happen, but it's a pretty bad series of bugs. After Dragonborn worked out so well, too.
(And I'd trade properties with you if I could. )

Waking Nightmare will autosave during the quest and then freeze. Once you hard reboot and load, you'll start at where you got frozen.

Hearthfire is wonky, but I'm damn glad to have it.

Edit: Nix that, I didn't start from where I got frozen, however, I don't have to start from the very beginning either. Really weird.

Edit edit: I go to the menu after finding Dreamside and it tries to autosave and then freezes. I hard reboot. I start from right before the library and I have to find the Dreamside book.

Dragonborn was a masterpiece, Hearthfire on the other hand is filled with bugs and I still gave it 5 stars on PSN. That was before I played it though, now it deserves maybe a 3 if they don't fix our problems.

its probbably because buying the Falkreath house has a strange glitch it cant be done after beating the Dark Brotherhood quests actually.. because of one of Nazir's contracts in Falkreath to be specific i cant remember the contract's name atm but i can check it out later this glitch affects everyone, on all platforms as much as im aware btw

i dont believe your spouse can be made a steward, so go for s1 else

yeah the workbenches giving options to build stuff thats already built was there on the pc version, too. the already-built items should disappear once you try to build anything thats already built when you let your steward do the furnishings you need to leave the house and wait approx. 2 weeks in-game, maybe longer if you let the steward to decorate everything at once

I've finished the "laid to rest" quest, still no land available in Morthal. Very disappointing, while its still fun, would be better if I could have that fish hatchery instead of this dumb apiary thing.

You can't buy lake view if you did the DB quests and became a milk-drinker(imperial). SKYRIM IS THE HOME OF THE NORDS!!!

then why am i living in lakeview manor right now

I loaded up a previous save for my level 20 argonian, because I first bought the property in Falkreath - what was I thining?

I should have bought morthal all along.. Anyway.

It took me forever to realize you only get one courier letter. So after I ran off and did the Laid-To-Rest quest and helped a couple peeps in Morthal I was standing around waiting for a courier to show up.



Anyhoo.. I've now (separately) purchased Falkreath and Morthal.

I haven't noticed any bugs but I'm not a power builder so I'm not even half way done with my house.

Probably the most entertaining $2.50 I have ever spent in my life.

So far I'm liking Hearthfire, but already two of my homesteads have this glitch where I'll finish one plan, go to the Drafting Table and none of the other plans show up aside from the ones that remove the Workbenches inside the house.

This has happened to me so far in Windstead and Lakeview.

Windstead I can say may have been my fault, since I did try to do a few plans at one time, and I've read doing that can cause the glitch.

With Lakeview, I learned from my mistake and took it a little slower and did one plan at a time. Everything was going okay until after I finished the Alchemey tower and then it happened again. So I'm slightly frustrated.

I will admit, with regret, that I did have auto-save on at both times. I thought I turned it off before hand but that must have been with my Kajit character.

So I might go and try Heljarchen, hopefully with auto-save turned off and learn from my mistake. But I really hope a patch will fix Lakeview and Windstead.

Meanwhile I will get the achievement for getting all three properties -thumbs up-

it blows my mind how many people still use auto-saves and who dont make back up saves regularly, lol this late in skyrims life it should be second nature to all

RIght after you exit the dream and disable the barrier, don't talk to Erandur. Go outside and save then reenter the tower. The saves, autosaves even, are what cause it to freeze. The bug will have fixed itself if you do what I wrote.
NOW MY BIG PROBLEM!!!
So I adopted two kids, threw them into my home at solitude with my husband and went to falkreach to become thane and build my home. I was SUPER excited. I spent a good six hours straight building this thing to prefection and spent over 20k in gold. I have everything, child's beds, and all furniture. I made my housecarl into my steward and travelled to Solitude to move the family into the new home. I can't move my family! My husband lost all talking options other than what's for sale, make any money, and follow me. The kids don't have a moving option either. I looked it up online and lots of XBOX and PC users have the same problem. I'm amazed there hasn't been a patch for them and we just got this. I don't even want to mention the freaking dead dragon that's been stalking me everytime I exit a building since downloading hearthfire, it just appears everywhere skin and all, and the kids don't recognise any pets I bring home... Poor Meepo.
Okay, but I even made my husband follow me to the Manor which I spent all that work on and he didn't recognise it to move, so I saved and added children's rooms to my normal home in Whiterun. The move option still never appeared so I went back before the save. I miss homecooked meals and the fact I can't even move my imaginary family to the imaginary MANSION I built for them. Please fix this. I feel like I spent all that money both in reality and in game for nothing. I mean we waited a year for this DLC, I understand there will be glitches but if Xbox has been complaining and now PC too then it's been a problem for awhile.

Oh yes and there's that. I assumed you could only build so much onto the house. I lost the armory, trophy, and library option on my Falkreach Manor so I have the entryway, main hall, bedrooms, cellar, kitchen, and alchemy room then everything outside. I got the Architect Trophy so I assumed that was the case.

All weapon racks refuse to hold the " ebony blade".

They seem to be holding mine, are you sure you've tried all the new racks?

Agreed, if people spend a lot of time in Skyrim the devs should help us out instead of telling us to load an earlier save. I know they might be working on Fallout 4, but they should keep their consumers happy because this is the game people are playing right now. Skyrim is the reason why PS4 has the specs that it has, at least fix some of these bugs that are WIDESPREAD.

This is wrong, i placed mine in breezehome.
But after i went out and in, the blade was gone, poof, so don't try placing the ebony blade on a weapon rack.

Ebony Blade is really bugged with racks, i once placed mine on one, and then it disappeard, and some days later it was floating in the middle of the room, so just keep it in a chest

The Daedric artifact, I presume? Something about the Ebony Blade is weird, I can't place it in any of my houses either. It probably has a unique shape, much like Scimitars, making it impossible to put on weapon racks.


The problem I have so far with Hearthfire is that I can't buy land in Falkreath. I got Siddgeir his Black-Briar Mead, killed all the available bandit chiefs, and I still can't buy the terrain of Lakeview Manor. Anyone found a way around this already?

I can't buy furnishing for entry room. Lydia says I can't afford 1000 gold but I have 30k

Im got a 17mb save and the hole game is glitchy walking up to the build tables the game drops in frame rate and just slows down have to back out one or two times then is good. also have the glitch where i paid a stewert to furnish my house he didnt leave but never furnished it either but it happend to me on pc also, so i just went with it. When i run I also drop frame rate and if i dont stop it freezes hard. alot of the glitches fixed in patches i still have and yes i removed and redownloaded many time. Lol it must be like real life you cant get every thing you want..

Look for it on the ground where you had it.

Found a new problem, the maniquins won't wear ancient nord helms or the stormcloaks officer helm (bear head).

Yeah I just put the ebony blade in a chest.
