Unofficial houses

Do you use any vanilla houses as your own? (Ones that you can't buy of course). Any house (or inn, I suppose) that you can't buy (has to be vanilla).

I am currently using Roland Jenseric's cabin

If by unofficial houses you include house mods, I use a combination of Tchos Alchemy Tower and the Armory Lab v5. This gets me a nice 4-level tower (with one level intended just for companions, including 6 beds), plus an armory area to display all the armor, weapons, etc, that I get, including dozens of mannequin bases.

Although Buffy owns the house in Bravil, she is rarely there and doesn't need it. She just doesn't keep much except clothes and they don't weigh so much. The few artifacts she has gathered, she turns in to the Mystic Archives for display.

She has a bag of holding, an alchemy bag, two sets of saddlebags for her mare and, of course, her inventory. She therefore always has everything she needs with her, and has no need for a fixed 'stash'.

She has a bedroll, campfire, stool and tent. When she is away from civilization, she camps. When near a wilderness inn, that is where she stops for the night. When near a city, she stays at her local mages guildhall or the University if in the IC.

She travels an awful lot and if she doesn't get home to Bravil for months, that's fine.

I tend to like Aleswell inn. Its a small little villige, with a fantastic view.
The little garden where you can harvest vegetebels only makes it better.

I like staying in the Bloated Float Inn
Also, its fun to stay the night in Bleaker's Way after you have, well, you know... caused a bit of trouble

My home right now is my run-down hovel in the Imperial City Waterfront. I have all the furnishings for it, so that gives me some decent storage space. In the meantime it is being used to store artifacts of value (my character has a fetish for these, as he is destined to become an archaeologist over the course of his life) and ingredients for alchemy (which I can easily retrieve thanks to mod-added sorters). Thanks to another mod, he also has to occasionally pay a property tax on his home, so that gives him a reason to have an income. He doesn't see the inside of it much, though, he's quite busy plundering dungeons and earning his living off the world. Most of the dungeons he tackles are Ayleid, as well, so that gives him a leg up on the Archaeology front, too.

He will eventually get his hands on a portable campsite, as well. Once that happens, he will be a full ranger in my eyes. Even now, his homes are basically warehouses for all the artifacts he is retrieving.

My only house is from the Castle Seaview house mod, a majestic-looking six-story castle that comes with its own guards, livestock, secretly-located dungeon, master level alchemy equipments, and apparently the only toilet in Cyrodiil that gives you health bonus every time you use it. But I hardly spend time there, since it is inconveniently located at the western edge of Cyrodiil. I'm a vampire so I rarely sleep in order to avoid sun damage. I store all my possessions in the 6 open sacks (safe containers) in the Market District - 3 in front of Slash 'N Smash and 3 in front of Jensine's "Good as New" Merchandise. They allow me to conveniently categorize my items into weapons, apparel, ingredients, potions, books, and misc items. Plus I have easy access since the Market District is like the hub of Cyrodiil. I thought about buying additional houses for extra storage space, but it would be hard to remember where I put where if I had multiple storage locations.

There are a number of gorgeous properties across Cyrodiil that could be yours if their current tenants are... abdicated.

Leyawiin:
Blackwood Co. Hall
Aval Uvani's house
Cingor's House
Imperial City:
Umbacano Manor
Jakben Imbel's House
Agarmir's House
Matthias Draconis' House
Skingrad
Summitmist Manor
Glarthir's House
Chorrol
Eugal Belette's House
Francois Motierre's House
Bruma
Jearl's House
J'Ghasta's House
Bravil
Ranoline's House
Ungolim's House
Cheydenhal
Aldos Othran's House
Others
Melus Petilius' House
Bleaker's Way
Water's Edge
Gweden Farm
Lord Drad's Estate

If you have the means, I would highly reccomend one. They are so choice.

Remember that some of these may offer only a bed and no safe storage, and some may offer neither. But look at the view! Realestate is a game of compromises afterall.

My characters generally end up "Acquiring" Glarthir's (sp?) house in Skingrad.

Thanks to a little custom Mod to claim Interiors as your own, my last character also took over Skingrad Castle-- a little bit more than a house, but he enjoyed it :)
