Gameplay

Hearthfire allows the player character to purchase a plot of land and build their own home from raw materials such as lumber and clay, with the option of adding features such as greenhouses, bee hives, and alchemy and enchanting facilities. There are three homesteads the player can build: Lakeview Manor (east of Falkreath), Windstad Manor (northeast of Morthal), and Heljarchen Hall (south of Dawnstar). Each one requires the player to have earned the respect of the Jarl in charge of the hold at the time, who will give them specific quests they must complete in order to become Thane. The player can then purchase the land from the Jarl or their steward for 5,000 gold. There are options to hire stewards to look after the home, carriage drivers for quick transportation, and a personal bard, along with animals, including horses for easier transport when overloaded with various items. Hearthfire also introduces the option to raise a family by adopting children. In addition, previously bought pre-built homes, such as Proudspire Manor in Solitude or Breezehome in Whiterun, can be altered to have a children's bedroom added into them.
