I don't get it, you really have some glaring errors with this dlc. I hope you bother to fix them.

1. You can't remodel your house. It's a build your own house dlc and you can't remodel if you're unhappy or make a mistake? Words can't describe how amature that is. Why wouldn't you let us set a wing to default and start again? It's incomprehensible that you didn't add a reset feature for any part of the house. That's basic common sense stuff.

2. No matter how I set up my home when i go away on missions and come back the items I've beautifuly placed are strewn all over the place, like my house is haunted. I can't even decorate my house the way I want.

3. When you build the greenhouse wing there is no option to add a behive, you just have no choice and automatically get one that ruins the ambiance. The audio the same volume level as it is in the wild so its very very loud. I feel like I'm living in a behive. Why not have a hive as a build option and not automatic. I restarted from level 1 and made my house again because of that audio being so annoying. I assumed i'd accidentally bought a hive but you get no choice! I'd love a greenhouse and have all things optional. Why don't you make things optional... why? Especially seeing it's so intrusive. You test this dlc?

4. When you get a housecarl no matter how cool the clothes are you set them up as a follower before they become your housecarl, they default back to thier rusty iron looking crap they began in and you cannot give them anything anymore. Why not? Why remove that option? It's more important than ever to dress them how you like as they are now living in your home! Can't I still decide how they dress? They are my staff for gods sake. It boggles the mind you thought this was a good idea to remove that option.

5. I hired a carrage. Changed my mind and thought I no longer wanted that eyesore taking up the real estate right outside my front door. Do i have any options to remove it? Of course not! It's there forever! Why not have an option "your services are no longer required"? in the list. And it leaves. Why is it permanently there? Why dont you let us decide for ourselves if something we tried was a good idea for us and let us change our mind. This is basic stuff.

It's shocking that everything in this dlc is permanent with no options at all to alter anything. One wrong click and it's screwed forever. Does that make sense? Is that intelligent design?

I'm dissapointed. Seems like you need a clear thinker on your team. This stuff would have been obvious in the first day of testing if I was there.

It's a $5 DLC. This isn't the Sims and doing something like this (which the engine really isn't designed to do) is extremely complex and frustrating. Yes, a reset option and the ability to remove things would have been nice. But this is meant to be a small DLC to compliment your gameplay and add immersion, giving you the sense that you own a small piece of the hold and have built something yourself.

The issues you've raised would have been big issues in a game such as the Sims, where the whole game is based around home-building and simulation. But in a game where this is such a small part, and the DLC itself was only $5, then they're only minor issues. They're hardly gamebreaking or worth starting over for, especially as not only do you have two other plots and every other city home to choose from, but that the houses in themselves are just essentially for immersion and storage in the first place.

The physics glitch isn't part of the DLC, it's an issue with the game. Drop items, leave the cell and then re-enter. You can then move them around as much as you like and they'll stay where you put them.

I still get fun from this dlc which for what it cost me (nearly nothing) is as good as it gets. Matter of opinion obviously but i get the impression some people would have complained if it had been free, others would have complained if they had been paid to take it.

Could be just another bored waste of space troll of course.

Well I get that many of the things you are requesting could have been implemented. However it is cheap and I do a lot of research before building.

As far as the items flying everywhere while you are gone, that bug was with us in the old houses. It just seems like it's worse here since there so many places to set things. Heck I've even had all my items jump out of the closed display cases so those are unusable also. There is just no point in building them if you can't put items in and they stay.

What is shocking is that you have supposedly played Skyrim before, and have still not worked out yet how to save your game in case you wanted to try something again or something went wrong.

There are lots of things that are permanent in the game, and yes house BUILDING is one of them, house demolition was never said to be part of Hearthfire. And the house decorating is exactly the same as it was before you added Hearthfire, everything still behaves exactly the same as it did before you started building houses. The exact same things that always fell through display cases still do it, the display cases are the same, the hand holding auto add option was just removed. You put a whole pile of new stuff in the house without letting it know about it first, it is still going to dump them right back where you first dropped them, because that is the way the memory works. Once it knows they are there, then you can arrange most items where ever you want. Skyrim has been out for well over a year and it has always been like that. Seems like someone just was never interested enough to decorate before. So Hearthfire worked, it got you interested, now master it!

Because it is not going to change, or be patched.

Well said.

Here, Here! Bravo, Aussie!

Thank you for reminding all of us that this DLC only cost $5.00. It is easy to forget that little fact.

There are things that I would like to change, "improve," etc. about Hearthfire, but for $5.00 it's a great DLC. What I love best about it is that it gives you a productive, non-violent reason to take down time from all the dragon, bandit, reaver slaying, dungeon, fort and castle crawling and radiant quests.

I love coming home to hearth and family. Heck I even like being pestered for an allowance. It just seems so normal.

What we can hope for is that in the next Elder Scrolls game, Bethesda will remember how much we loved this little DLC and building our own home and they will use this knowledge to give us an even better home building option next time.

In my view, it was $5.00 well spent.

Well they made this for you can build your own lovely homes which is 3 different homes I believe, but the fact is just because you can't remodel doesn't mean hate the dlc, that's why Bethesda made this for you can make your own home! Also why would you bring up the sims, the sims is by far a different game. If you hate the house you made, then make a new save and start from scratch.

Hell, I got it for lik $2.50 on a Steam sale. Best $2.50 I've spent in awhile; that's the same amount I pay for an iced coffee everyday.
