The author should have named this mod Hjertesten Hamlet, it has everything a hamlet would have and a bit more. The sheer amount of quests envoled in making this mod complete is very impressive. It takes a huge amount of work under the hood in CK to make all of this happen, so if it's the work of one person I'm even more impressed. I love the integration of NPC's that the player can invite to live on the estate, a very rare thing to find in any homested mod. The beauty of the Rift helps the estate shine, placed anywhere else in Skyrim wouldn't have the same effect. Kudos to the author for this mod, it really looks nice. I'll have to give a go on my next play through. Thanks again SkyrimPlus for sharing homes that we may have missed on Nexus.
Thank you! This one was a lot of fun to cover! It felt rewarding helping the beggars find employment and housing on my property! And it's fun trying to win people over to come work for you. It's also funny asking some people if they want to come stay with you, and some say, "Nah. I don't think so!" :D And that spot is an awesome place to add a settlement, half way between Riften and Ivarstead.
Thank you so much for this amazing video!! I love to see how you manage to cover all the details of the mod, even the hidden ones just to make the best showcase for the viewers!! Definitely going to be the official Hjertesten's Hall guide video!! Thanks for all the care and thought you put into my mod, I'm really happy to see this showcase :D keep up your great videos!!
Thank you for your compliment, but really thank YOU for all the care and thought YOU put in YOUR mod! Some people design playthroughs specifically for Legacy of the Dragonborn, and I feel like this is a similar-type situation, where you acquire followers and get excited about where you want to have them work on your property! And you put so much detail into the mod. It would've been understandable to just copy/paste a kid's room, for example, in the main hall, considering the scope of the mod, just to check a box, but you still took time to add rocking horses and dummies for the kids to interact with, and that's just a small example of one aspect of one of your many mods... I also loved reviewing your Vandfald Cottage as well! For anyone else reading this comment, check that one out, too! It's located in Riverwood, right across the White River, near the waterfall.
Hey, guys! I was going to put a list of my recruits in the description, but I ran out of characters... 😆 Of course, you can bring whoever you want, but I just thought you might want some ideas... Steward: Faendal (Riverwood) Steward's Assistant: Svana Far-Shield (From Haelga's Bunkhouse in Riften) Farmer: Grosta (From Heartwood Mill, almost next door to Hjertesten) Blacksmith: Balimond (Riften) Bar Keep: Embry (Drunk from Riverwood) Bard: Skald Blind-Eye (Old Hroldan Inn, as part of Thay's Bards mod) Priest: Erandur (Dawnstar) Alchemist: Ingun Black Briar (Riften) House Carl: Lydia (White Run) Adoptions: Aleson: Dawnstar Sophie: Windhelm Lucia: Whiterun Runa Fairshield: (Honorhall Orphanage) Sissel: (Rorikstead 😉) Blaise: (Solitude) Warriors: Ebony Warrior (from a follower mod that's on my channel!) Uthegard the Unbroken (Bannered Mare in Whiterun) Marcurio (Bee and Barb in Riften) Janessa (Drunken Huntsman in Whiterun) Archmage Verelis, Orlock the Destroyer, Mahwish The Guerilla Tank, and Renna The Quick, all from the Rogue Merchant Alliance Mod Guards: Snilf (Beggar from Riften) Brenuin (Drunk from Whiterun) Degaine (Beggar from Markarth) Cosnach (Brawler in Markarth) Vorstag (Mercenary in Markarth) Hofgrir Horse-Crusher (Brawler at Riften Stalls) Jzargo (College of Winterhold Apprentice) Brelyna Maryon (College of Winterhold Apprentice) Benor (Brawler from Morthal) Edda (Riften Beggar)
I installed this mod the other day and i gotta say it is one of my all time favorite mods on skyrim. It's got a ton of content, the entire property and homes are beautiful, it's super detailed, it blends in naturally with the world, and it's lore friendly! I can't get enough of this mod
Thanks so much for bringing attention to this masterpiece , I really can’t find words to describe how awesome this mod is , I enjoyed it a lot , congratulations for reviewing it so good , keep it up mate 😊
My sister did some production work for HGTV years ago. I used to love watching all of the shows on that network. 😆 But yes, smooth camerawork is my number one goal in my videos. I don't like it when I'm watching a video, and someone spins around really quickly. Glad you liked it!
This place is amazing! I have had it before it was really stable with no glitches that I noticed. I learned some new things about it with your video, thanks!
I was about to comment on your pronounciation of Hjertesten, but then I heard the AI-synthesized voice used by the guards say it exactly the same way, so can't exactly fault you for it! Hjertesten is Danish (or almost Norwegian, or Swedish) for "Heart Stone". It's a wonderful not-so-little player home.
To make it less confusing, I pronounced everything to match the AI pronunciations, like Hemme, according to Google is pronounced "Hemmy", instead of like "him", and Asgeld is supposed to be without the "d" sound at the end, too, but I wanted to be consistent with the AI, so it didn't confuse other Americans, like me. 😆
That's my fault actually 😅 I didn't knew how to set the pronunciation on xvasynth but seeing your comment made me go after it and I think I managed to make the right spelling of it :) there are a few npcs with problems to say Hjertesten yet tho, because even replacing Hjertesten for it's phonemes, their accent and voice tone make it hard for the program to make them spell it right. At least now it's just half wrong ahhaha
A great job on this video SP. The work here is astounding! I agree, lights off is best. I'm still crying about ray tracing as usual watching these awesome designers. All the best with Ysolda!
This video was the longest I've spent on one video... All day, every day for a week. I was happy with the way it turned out. It sure helps when you have a fantastic mod to showcase! Dovahkiinathay is super talented!
@@SkyrimPlus Such a great review SP; I love this one (watching again). I do like the way Kjartan, the guard, gets a lightning bolt up the pants during 'House Acquisition - Option 7' @4:10 . Hilarious! Either me or Kjartan shanking Hemme in the back is a close 2nd for me. A couple of other things: Thise 6 adopted children, staring like that, talk about shudders! It's Children of the Corn material. And finally, I would have a role for Camilla that I can't speak about here and it isn't Steward's Assistant. She beats Ysolda into a cocked hat! All the best.
@anthonymorris1360 Camilla certainly has a confidence about her that's attractive. Maybe she could distract Ysolda by providing her with that mammoth tusk she's always wanting. 😆 This video took me a week working all day every day to make. Luckily, I was able to communicate with Dovahkiinathay throughout the process, so if I had any questions, I'd ask, and she was really helpful in explaining how things worked, so it was my goal to show the different possibilities the storyli e could take, unravel the layers of the mod and explain how to recruit, where they stay, what you can upgrade, etc. I had about 8 different drafts and did this video in pieces and then built transitions to piece it together. I was worried that no one was going to watch it because of the length and me being relatively unknown by most, but this video has become my most viewed video ever and usually wins the highest view count at the end of the month each month even now. I'm thankful for Thay, her help throughout the process, and of course, creating and sharing this wonderful mod for all of us to enjoy! It's a masterpiece!
I can't get over how amazing this mod is. Thank you for recommending it to me on Reddit the other night. I definitely can't wait to build my LO and have this as my end goal home. I'm in love 😍
I am looking forward to redoing this mod. I was in a hurry and skipped a lot of the beginning at the inn in Iverstead. I am sure doing things the right way the second time will make much more sense. Thank you so much for this video and pointing out the error of my ways !
:D There's no wrong way to play a game! Just different destinations to get to enjoyment! Glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope you enjoy your new playthrough with Hjertesten Hall!
Bro, your videos are amazing! I'm not sure how I've never come across you before! Your voice is super pleasant, you don't talk too fast, or move from one area to another too quickly so that we can soak everything in - it's awesome! Definitely subscribing! I was curious to see if you had done any videos of houses located super close to Whiterun? Whiterun is such a central location for me and smack dab in the middle of Skyrim, so I love houses that are located ridiculously close by.
Thank you for the compliment and support! All of those things you mention are my goals for each of my videos. I used to watch everyone else's Skyrim mod videos/house tours before starting my channel in late-June of last year, and I wouldn't like it when people would change directions quickly, so I try to make it predictable. And someone in the beginning told me my music was too loud, so now that's something I take into consideration, too. As far as homes near Whiterun, I did a couple that are pretty close, although some of my early subscribers said they didn't want to see homes near there because the area is too saturated with home mods, but I do plan on featuring some in the future. I will have a no-load door home across from the Western Watchtower coming out on Thursday (if I can get it finished up). I have my next 10 or so videos figured out, unless something new comes out between now and then. I like to cover the new stuff the most, since usually no one has covered it yet and I always look for videos of new mods when I'm on Nexus. Here are some near-ish to Whiterun that I've covered: Apple Shanty (One of my favorites- A farmhouse West of Whiterun, before you hit Silent Moon's Camp): ruclips.net/video/3jWQdLsc9iM/видео.html Dragon Falls Manor (Located on the White River between Riverwood and Whiterun, this home has lots of soils, a huge deck and dining area that gives a fantastic view of Whiterun. You have your own ebony mine and outdoor smithing. The inside of the home is okay, but the outside of the home makes this one pretty cool.): ruclips.net/video/uWc0iXREPU8/видео.html Mistral Manor (This one is in the Tundra, within the hold, but a little further out. If you haven't seen this one, you should. The basement is one of the coolest designed special areas I've seen in any home mod... Very Rayek's End-like but unique): ruclips.net/video/C9b6znoDVbA/видео.html Snapneck Shack (Tree home between Riverwood and Whiterun with lots of clickies): ruclips.net/video/ou_9WKa8g58/видео.html Barrel Home Reloaded- Double Barrel (very unique home by the Western Watchtower, no load doors): ruclips.net/video/LZNUkwwyA3c/видео.html The Ruined Lookout(small place to stay very early in game): ruclips.net/video/iec2zQ0f1yE/видео.html Rayek's End (Cave home right on the White River): ruclips.net/video/mP2zjQXWjCE/видео.html The Nook (Small home between Riverwood and Whiterun): ruclips.net/video/Bl4mfP0JCLU/видео.html Poetry Seed(Right on the White River): ruclips.net/video/sw38BiFZFiQ/видео.html Closer to Riverwood, which is still pretty close: Riverwood Falls Manor and Bleakwood Mines (This is a top 10 home ever for me. The courier delivers a note from the former owner bequeathing you the home, so it gives you a nice backstory to start. It has a huge home and guest house for your family and followers. Your crafting areas are really unique... Large armory in a cave with vendors, the biggest mine I've ever seen in Skyrim, a really cool alternate bedroom and crafting with alchemy, enchanting, staff enchanting, and spider imbuing chamber, as well as a nature area that adds some cool spells, bosses, and a shortcut to Bleakfalls Barrow's interior): ruclips.net/video/LnqZVOkqfz4/видео.html Vandfald Cottage (I'd put this in my top 20 home mods ever because of how beautiful the outside of the home is, greenhouse included, treehouse included, cool room to store collectibles, and it's the same mod author that made Hjertesten Hall, so you know it's going to be good): ruclips.net/video/MSECKmuAxMk/видео.html Lonewolf's Manor (very elaborate, space for 100 followers, own mine, cool Ayleid -themed collector's storage room): ruclips.net/video/SOkZKbdDc40/видео.html Bradain Chorr (One of my favorites; A no load door farm home on a beautiful peace of land right outside of Riverwood): ruclips.net/video/HdRJc_w02gA/видео.html Squatter's Shack (A simple very early in game starter home with a backstory): ruclips.net/video/uQIkS5_FGE0/видео.html If this reply was too long, sorry! I get carried away sometimes. :D
I recently reinstalled Skyrim after nearly 10 years. This mod was included in Nolvus. It's probably the best home mod I've yet seen. I only wished the mod author made the location further up the mountains in the area. The views from there would have been better.
I can understand that want, and yes, it is awesome! A great house mod in the Rift is always desirable, but pair that with getting to invite your friends with several ways to earn it and an income script, and it's the bomb.com
@@SkyrimPlus How did you get the hired alchemist to actually be hired as an alchemist? I managed to hire Arcadia from Whiterun. She's an alchemist with her own shop, but I saw no option to hire her as an alchemist. I told her to stay in the farm house and now she's a farmer. She'll still have the option to increase my alchemy skill, but that's it.
@@Constellasian I think you have to "recruit" npcs in a certain order, like you can bring an alchemist after you've brought a farmer and blacksmith. That could be why you didn't have the option
I used to have this a while back, but man.... Thay has really taken it to the next level! I remember she had posted in the FB group that she had updated it, but i certainly didn't expect this!Downloaded the new version last night after watching this, and i am loving it. I have half of Shor's Stone working for me now 😂 Only downside I've found is that (on XBox) the navmesh in the garden/pool area is a teeny bit wonky. Can you imagine if she had added the ability to add Christmas decorations like with her Winterberry Chateau? But really, she's put so much amazing work into this already that I can't ask for more.
Her Springwood Estate has Christmas decorations, too! 🎄 I gave most of my jobs to beggars and people I beat in fights, to give them a better life! 😆 Hjertesten Hall is much nicer than Shor's Stone, so you're giving them an upgrade, too. Glad you are enjoying her update!
Just got this mod and it’s absolutely awesome. Just running into the problem that my kids won’t move into the house. And solution or help would be awesome!! Thanks
When I got it to work, I went into the home in the kids' room and used the Bless This Home spell from the Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions. Make sure to get the USSEP patch for the Hearthfire Extended mod, too(if you have USSEP installed). And make sure it's the most up-to-date version of Hjertesten.
Just bought the place today. I just walked by it and had a talk with the owner. Sure it yours for 50K. Took me about 10 hours to collect the money and bought it just to find out there is a hole questline i missed and could have been handed the money almost for free :)
It's pretty neat. That was the first thing that drew me to this mod was the extensive backstory and being able to find the 50k! At least you'll know for your next playthrough!
Hjertesten - word hjerte sten that means in english heart stone you have to split up hjertesten to hjerte sten to even try to announse it slightly correct.
That's good to know! Heartstone Hall has a good ring to it. I just went with what the voice synth said during my playthrough to not confuse the audience since the voice synth says it a few times.
yeah, that was my bad. I let xva synth record it the way I could because I didn't know how to type the correct pronuntiation. The mod was updated with the right pronuntiation now, at least the best I could do with the synth program :)
@@dovahkiinathay3421 yeah i know the problem with synth record, but thankfully people all over the world are playing and still play skyrim since 2011. And i always try to help when it comes to my language but it's not easy to remember how a sound is on the letters but on the e is just flat e on pronunsing it. Cool mod.
Such a wonderful showcase. This is a fantastic channel, ive been watching your playlists all afternoon. Question, I think followers are my favorite collectable in Skyrim, what house ehowcases as many as possible at once? 30 people in Elysium is a bit much!
Thank you for the compliments and the views! I try to put out something I'd like to watch! :D As far as suggestions, Hjertesten is a great place for many followers (close to 30). Lonewolf's Manor has add-on mods that increase it's follower capacity from 12 to 100! That place has all crafting, staff enchanter, a REALLY COOL secret treasure room (which has LOTD support, so if you play with that, it allows you to display the same object in both places), it's own mine, etc. Havran Castle provides a ship and a castle for you as well as homes for your followers on an island within its own worldspace. I don't remember exactly how many followers it accommodates, but they would have their own places to live in within a village. Riverwood Falls Manor and Bleak Mines is another great home for followers and a family, with all crafting, stones with cool buffs, staff enchanter, lots of soils, a HUGE mine (the biggest I've seen in any mod or vanilla), a really cool nature area with some unique weapons and a back way in to Bleak Falls Barrow, etc. If you want a really impressive place with lots of NPC's that you can recruit, check out Mortum Castle (67 custom NPC's live there, and it's beautiful), LC's Build Your Noble House, Sjel Blad Castle (too many features to list, but they have tons of recruitable NPC's, all sorts of creature followers, mounts, an arena, etc.) Traveller's Inn (26 beds for followers and skill trainers live there) or LC's Noble Keep. I have videos for all of those besides Traveller's Inn and LC's Noble Keep. Others that I don't have videos for but might be good for such a playthrough would be Castle Revelhost, but it does conflict with Helsmyrr Village, if you have that installed. Hope this helps!
@@SkyrimPlus I can't tell you how much I appreciate this answer. I've seen most of the videos of yours talking about the homes you've listed, but I've got a couple videos to watch. Thanks for also pointing out some of the homes that you haven't done videos for. Seriously, you're a really nice person. (your channel is criminally under subscribed to. Your content is wonderful!!!!!)
It’s a wonderful mod! Very beautiful and I love being able to manage a large land. Does anyone know where the supply chest is located that your Stewart refers to? They say” don’t forget to check the supply chest from time to time “
Yes. That's true. It's a tough decision to make when two great mods conflict with each other. Maybe you could have both in your library and switch between the two when you start a new playthrough. You could use something like Silverstead for your buildable city mod while Hjertesten could be your home village. 🏡
Thank you so much! I was so confused because it would only allow me to recruit warriors or blacksmiths. I was not able to get my steward to work. All she did was the dialog from where I recruited her. Still not sure how to fix that.
You're welcome! I think certain people are seen as acceptable for certain jobs. Like I couldn't hire the town drunk as my alchemist, but I could for tavern keep or warrior. I wonder if you could dismiss your steward and try rehiring? Or possibly trying a different NPC as steward? You should have quite a few different dialogue options once that person has moved in and accepted the position. Personally, I used Faendal for mine, and he worked. I noticed a few people in the posts section on the mod page said that they hired one of the blacksmiths from Whiterun, but they wouldn't sell to them, and the advice given was to dismiss them and rehire. It seemed to work, so try that!
I have this mod on, but I only have options for people to live in my houses and the steward, I dont have a option to recruit a priest, guards, alchemist or warriors. Do you happens to know why?
There are only 3 options for priests, all located at the Shrine of Mara. You can only hire guards after you upgrade your fence to the full wall. The person needs to be a qualified alchemist already, like Inguin Blackbriar or Elgrim, etc. And I'm not sure about the warriors. Those should be easy to recruit. Try giving a homeless person a coin, wait for the gift of charity thing to pop up on the screen, and then start talking to them "about Hjertesten" and see if the warrior dialogue option works. Most jobs have conditions, like the person has to be your friend to be invited to work. You could also force this with the setrelationshiprank console command that's demonstrated in the middle of the video. That's what I would try! Hope it works for you!
seems like some dialogues appear only after you hire other npcs due to the ammount of dialogue lines under 1 dialgue topic. Try hiring other npcs and see if the dialogue appears :)
I'm not sure if this will 100 percent work for you, but this worked for me. I had both USSEP and Hearthfire Extended with Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions. There was a patch on Nexus I needed for those three to work together. I downloaded that patch, went to the main home, cast the Bless This Home spell, and I was able to adopt. You may try adding that patch, if you haven't already and remember to cast the spell in the house first. It worked for me. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/67561
First, make sure you have bought the home. Second, make sure the key is in your inventory. Next, make sure to try it on a follower, or someone you've completed a fetch quest for or someone who you've used console commands to change your relationship rank with them. If I were you, I would test it on Faendal. In the dialogue, select about Hjertesten, suggest Faendal cokes to work for you, and the steward option should show up. Name him steward, and then if you want someone else, you can always fire him and hire the new person after you confirm it is working on your end.
Thank you for the compliment! Try these tips and let me know how this goes... 1. Make sure you indeed own the home. 2. Make sure you've hired the steward. 3. Try to hire a known blacksmith. I hired the one in Riften after becoming his friend by bringing him fire salts and then going through the "About Hjertesten" dialogue. Try that and let me know how that goes!
@@SkyrimPlus so I do have a steward and I do have the blacksmith, he is able to sell me things but he is not able to do everything because he lives in the stables house. I’ve been trying to find the faulty blacksmith to correct this. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do?
@@shronkboi1019 Try dismissing the blacksmith from his job and then go back immediately and try to hire him again. Thay has recommended that to other players before. If that doesn't work, dismiss him and try another known blacksmith like the one in Riften. He is the one I used, so I know he works. So just to make sure I'm understanding 100 percent, the blacksmith will sell you things, but he won't make you armor or change the shrine?
Some of the positions have conditions that have to be met. Thay, the mod author, put a lot of thought behind who you could recruit and tried to make it really specific. I recruited Ingun Blackbriar because I knew she had a connection to alchemy, and to gain favor, I just needed to bring her those three ingredients she requested when you talk to her in Elgrim's Elixirs. You could probably recruit Muiri from Markarth at The Hag's Cure after completing her quest. And you could probably recruit any existing alchemist, like Arcadia, as long as you have a favorable relationship with them. If you want to speed that along, I would use the "set relationshiprank" to 3 console command and then start the dialogue where you try to hire them.
I'm about 90 percent sure it's from the BDOR Complete Collections by Kirax. When I downloaded it, it was from this site, but it isn't showing the same options anymore: kiraxskyrim.com/ On a quick Google search, I found that a mod of the same name appears to be available on Lover's Lab. I'm not sure if it's available for LE or not though, as I didn't visit the link, but at least you have a starting point for your research. Also, just a head's up that this collection is about 7 gb, so make sure you have a google amount of storage on your drive for it!
@@SkyrimPlusunfortunately, there is no collection for LE by Kirax, but i found more interesting BDOR collection for LE by teamTAL. still thankful for the info cause i didnt play Black Desert so i didnt know what should i search for my armor collections.
So, I've encountered a problem where it only allows me to hire blacksmiths, warriors, and farmers. It won't prompt me the steward (I've even tried faendal for reference). Any recommendations?
for some reason it's happening with the newer version of the mod. Try exiting the dialogue and opening again. After a few times the dialogue show up (I know it sucks but I'm still not sure of what may be causing that...)
@@SkyrimPlus I've searched and searched and searched and I cannot find a link to the Xbox version, but if you know of it and can locate it could you link it here? I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!
What happen to the spiders in the under ground cave if you don't do the back story and just buy the house are there still there and can you still get the display room or do you have to kill the first
@churchvstheworld5815 Try going up to her, save your game, exit the game, restart the save, and initiate the conversation again. Let me know if thst works for you. It does for me sometime.
I don’t realize there was a quest that led up to basically getting the house for free. I’ll be starting a fresh game just for this now lol. I do have a question. In my current game, all the houses around the main hall say they are farmers homes, even the house next to the blacksmithing stations. Is that normal? I also recruited Ysolda from Whiterun for my tavern keeper and she never showed up. Btw I’m on Xbox.
Glad the video inspired you to restart! :D First, for Ysolda, try firing her and then rehiring her. If that doesn't work, my personal bar keep was the drunkard from Riverwood. He'll work, for sure! As far as the home names, the only thing I noticed like that was the guard's home was also named the warrior's home, I guess just in case you don't do the fortify upgrade. The home closest to the stable is for your warriors. The house next to that (near all of the animals) is the farmer's house. The blacksmith lives in the house closest to the farm, but the smithing stations are even closer. And next to the blacksmith is the guard's house. Those are the four homes, other than the main hall, that are in that main area with the well. Hope this helps!
@@SkyrimPlus thanks for the reply! I’ve tried to find Ysolda and she’s not in Whiterun anymore and I haven’t ran into her in the open world. I thought it might take a day or two in game for her to arrive, but she just disappeared.
@jcool2220 Try these. First, go into the tavern, go downstairs, go to the bedroom on the left, and wait there until 1 a.m. See if she goes to bed in that room. Another idea, if that doesn't work, is hosting a feast. Theoretically, your workers should show up for the feast. My last thought would be to reload the save before you hired her and try again. I know she is usually in the Whiterun Marketplace around 9 a.m. each day, so you could try there or her house. It's also possible she is wandering around the property when not on her shift. They like to go idle in different spots around the village. Hope one of those works!
I have question. Can we use this mod together with Kaidan 2 and Kaidan 2 Immersive mod without any problems? It was written on the mod's homepage that it was not compatible.
I just spoke with Thay, the mod author, and she said that it can be used without issues as long as you download the patches for those mods from Nexus. Hope this helps!
I thought to post this here hoping that someone with porting skills sees it. There is this mod ported for us on Xbox but even though it's called the 'final version' and it looks like it's from this year, it doesn't have the changes that the mod author listed on nexus. It'd be really great if someone could port that true updated version to Bethesda as at the moment it crashes a lot, kids can't move in, there are issues with some NPCs not showing up, lacks number of buttons the author added recently, it doesn't seem like the final version, and we xboxers love this establishment too 🤓🙏🏻 I am happy to beg, just tell me who? 😂
It would be best to go to the Nexus page of the mod and write your concerns in the "posts" section. The mod author often checks those, and she is very friendly and responsive. Hope this helps.
@@SkyrimPlusit would be, except that nexus blocked me due to "bot activity" because I wasn't downloading any mods, because I was there for comments only...I don't have a PC, only Mac and Xbox. Nexus aren't normal people
@@mj-uc6wc You could also look her up on Discord. I know a lot of people use that to communicate. Or you could always make up a new account for Nexus under a different email address.
@@SkyrimPlus they will block me again if I don't download any mods and comment only. I can't get Skyrim on Mac. Discord guys want some sort of login/ user name details for the Bethesda Skyrim account that I don't use and don't remember. They use those details to establish your "level" or something rather, as in how experienced you are. I tried it all. The fact is, there isn't any good way to communicate with mod authors when you are a console user.
It is disappointing the mod doesn't introduce a lot more characters for usage as hired help on the property. Taking characters from other cities leaves a void in those cities and probably some unintended consequences.
You speak to them and in the dialogue, there is dialogue that is somewhere along the lines of "How is your family?" After asking, they'll tell you a story, and then you can suggest that they can move in too!
If I remember correctly, you can still get the money. You may be able to report his death to the Ivarstead bar owner. You wouldn't be able to opt to work on the property without buying, and you wouldn't be able to have plan b or c because you would've already bought it. So to finish the quest, there are two final outcomes, and within one of the outcomes, you can either kill the guard or pay him off and then use the other half plus your money to buy Hjertesten.
I have a few leading questions that may help me find you an answer. First, did you update through Bethesda, or did you block it? I still haven't updated (I play 1.6.353 on PC), and I couldn't get it either until I downloaded the mod: Backported Extended ESL Support. Another possibility is a mod conflict... Do you have any other mods that alter that area, like Kaidan 2, Blackthorn, Waterview in Skyrim, etc.? If so, a conflict could possibly be occurring. If you're still trying to figure things out, maybe start a new playthrough with only it activated, and see if it shows up.
@@SkyrimPlus I finally got it to work after a couple days not sure what the issue was but luckily it was resolved! Thanks for responding so quickly loved the video
You have to buy the home first, and then you can bring up the dialogue. I had thought that in testing, too, until I spoke with the mod author. I bought the house, tried again, and it worked.
@Thekillerdeuce It's available for Xbox. Search Hearthfire Multiple Adoption at Bethesda.net. It's way easier to search on their site than on the console. It's a mod by TMPhoenix. When you find it, make sure you're logged into the same account as your console is and favorite it. Then, you can get on your Xbox and look at your favorites list to find it to install more easily.
@SkyrimPlus I figured it out eventually. But I'm so hard headed I never pay attention to guides. I just went on recruiting spree that failed miserably lol
Both are great options. I'd use one in your current playthrough and try the other on your next playthrough. They're both fantastic mods, and we're lucky to have access to both!
@@SkyrimPlus Larian Studios bringing offical modding to BG3 for consoles in Patch 7, such great dedication to fans on that platform. I say this because I'm a fan of them, but also I cry for console players not having access to some of the most amazing published designs for this game. All the best chaps.
@@anthonymorris1360 I've never played BG 3 before, but I've seen a lot of praise for it by Skyrim players, so I might have to try it sometime. I bought Starfield and I haven't played one second of it yet. I own Fallout 3 and 4 and never played either of those either. Skyrim has me locked it, although when NCAA Football 25 comes out this summer, I'm probably going to do a deep dive into that, too. lol Been waiting for that game to come back out for 11 years!
If you are facing the front door, the jail appears in the left corner of that same wall when you send someone there. I sent Nazeem there, and the jail appeared after I told him he was going there. You can also open and close the cage door. When you tell them they can leave jail, the cage disappears.

The author should have named this mod Hjertesten Hamlet, it has everything a hamlet would have and a bit more. The sheer amount of quests envoled in making this mod complete is very impressive. It takes a huge amount of work under the hood in CK to make all of this happen, so if it's the work of one person I'm even more impressed. I love the integration of NPC's that the player can invite to live on the estate, a very rare thing to find in any homested mod. The beauty of the Rift helps the estate shine, placed anywhere else in Skyrim wouldn't have the same effect. Kudos to the author for this mod, it really looks nice. I'll have to give a go on my next play through. Thanks again SkyrimPlus for sharing homes that we may have missed on Nexus.
Thank you! This one was a lot of fun to cover! It felt rewarding helping the beggars find employment and housing on my property! And it's fun trying to win people over to come work for you. It's also funny asking some people if they want to come stay with you, and some say, "Nah. I don't think so!" :D And that spot is an awesome place to add a settlement, half way between Riften and Ivarstead.
Thank you so much for this amazing video!! I love to see how you manage to cover all the details of the mod, even the hidden ones just to make the best showcase for the viewers!! Definitely going to be the official Hjertesten's Hall guide video!! Thanks for all the care and thought you put into my mod, I'm really happy to see this showcase :D keep up your great videos!!
Thank you for your compliment, but really thank YOU for all the care and thought YOU put in YOUR mod! Some people design playthroughs specifically for Legacy of the Dragonborn, and I feel like this is a similar-type situation, where you acquire followers and get excited about where you want to have them work on your property! And you put so much detail into the mod. It would've been understandable to just copy/paste a kid's room, for example, in the main hall, considering the scope of the mod, just to check a box, but you still took time to add rocking horses and dummies for the kids to interact with, and that's just a small example of one aspect of one of your many mods... I also loved reviewing your Vandfald Cottage as well! For anyone else reading this comment, check that one out, too! It's located in Riverwood, right across the White River, near the waterfall.

I installed this mod the other day and i gotta say it is one of my all time favorite mods on skyrim. It's got a ton of content, the entire property and homes are beautiful, it's super detailed, it blends in naturally with the world, and it's lore friendly! I can't get enough of this mod
It does add so much. Thay was very thorough, and it shows!
Oh, man! I thought about asking you to review this one, and here you are with a full review!
Oh yes! I've been working on this one for over a week! 😆 Love this one!!!
Thanks so much for bringing attention to this masterpiece , I really can’t find words to describe how awesome this mod is , I enjoyed it a lot , congratulations for reviewing it so good , keep it up mate 😊
Thank you! I agree, it is amazing! Glad you enjoyed the mod and the video!
I have to give you props for your camerawork. This is the first of your videos I've watched but those smooth pans are HGTV-level.
My sister did some production work for HGTV years ago. I used to love watching all of the shows on that network. 😆 But yes, smooth camerawork is my number one goal in my videos. I don't like it when I'm watching a video, and someone spins around really quickly. Glad you liked it!
This place is amazing! I have had it before it was really stable with no glitches that I noticed. I learned some new things about it with your video, thanks!
It ran very smoothly for me, as well! Glad you enjoyed it! About to start working on your suggestion!
Hey, I was just looking for something to watch! And it's a long one! 👍👍👍
It sure is! It's my longest ever, slightly longer than Sjel Blad Castle. 😆
@@SkyrimPlusIt was a great video -- thanks for all the work you put into it! And thanks to the mod author as well 👍👍
I was about to comment on your pronounciation of Hjertesten, but then I heard the AI-synthesized voice used by the guards say it exactly the same way, so can't exactly fault you for it! Hjertesten is Danish (or almost Norwegian, or Swedish) for "Heart Stone". It's a wonderful not-so-little player home.
To make it less confusing, I pronounced everything to match the AI pronunciations, like Hemme, according to Google is pronounced "Hemmy", instead of like "him", and Asgeld is supposed to be without the "d" sound at the end, too, but I wanted to be consistent with the AI, so it didn't confuse other Americans, like me. 😆
That's my fault actually 😅 I didn't knew how to set the pronunciation on xvasynth but seeing your comment made me go after it and I think I managed to make the right spelling of it :) there are a few npcs with problems to say Hjertesten yet tho, because even replacing Hjertesten for it's phonemes, their accent and voice tone make it hard for the program to make them spell it right. At least now it's just half wrong ahhaha
Wow!! What a great video. You did an awesome job showcasing Thay's amazing Hjertesten Hall. You covered everything and in so much detail. :)
Thanks, Dave! My family would tell you I've never been accused of being vague. 😆 🤣
A great job on this video SP. The work here is astounding! I agree, lights off is best. I'm still crying about ray tracing as usual watching these awesome designers. All the best with Ysolda!
This video was the longest I've spent on one video... All day, every day for a week. I was happy with the way it turned out. It sure helps when you have a fantastic mod to showcase! Dovahkiinathay is super talented!
@@SkyrimPlus Such a great review SP; I love this one (watching again). I do like the way Kjartan, the guard, gets a lightning bolt up the pants during 'House Acquisition - Option 7' @4:10 . Hilarious! Either me or Kjartan shanking Hemme in the back is a close 2nd for me.
A couple of other things: Thise 6 adopted children, staring like that, talk about shudders! It's Children of the Corn material. And finally, I would have a role for Camilla that I can't speak about here and it isn't Steward's Assistant. She beats Ysolda into a cocked hat! All the best.
@anthonymorris1360 Camilla certainly has a confidence about her that's attractive. Maybe she could distract Ysolda by providing her with that mammoth tusk she's always wanting. 😆 This video took me a week working all day every day to make. Luckily, I was able to communicate with Dovahkiinathay throughout the process, so if I had any questions, I'd ask, and she was really helpful in explaining how things worked, so it was my goal to show the different possibilities the storyli e could take, unravel the layers of the mod and explain how to recruit, where they stay, what you can upgrade, etc. I had about 8 different drafts and did this video in pieces and then built transitions to piece it together. I was worried that no one was going to watch it because of the length and me being relatively unknown by most, but this video has become my most viewed video ever and usually wins the highest view count at the end of the month each month even now. I'm thankful for Thay, her help throughout the process, and of course, creating and sharing this wonderful mod for all of us to enjoy! It's a masterpiece!
I can't get over how amazing this mod is. Thank you for recommending it to me on Reddit the other night. I definitely can't wait to build my LO and have this as my end goal home. I'm in love 😍
Absolutely! Thay did an awesome job with it! I saw you mentioned Kaidan in your reply. Make sure to get the patch for those two to work together!
@SkyrimPlus There's a patch??? I hope it's on xbox lol.
I am looking forward to redoing this mod. I was in a hurry and skipped a lot of the beginning at the inn in Iverstead. I am sure doing things the right way the second time will make much more sense. Thank you so much for this video and pointing out the error of my ways !
:D There's no wrong way to play a game! Just different destinations to get to enjoyment! Glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope you enjoy your new playthrough with Hjertesten Hall!
Bro, your videos are amazing! I'm not sure how I've never come across you before! Your voice is super pleasant, you don't talk too fast, or move from one area to another too quickly so that we can soak everything in - it's awesome! Definitely subscribing!
I was curious to see if you had done any videos of houses located super close to Whiterun? Whiterun is such a central location for me and smack dab in the middle of Skyrim, so I love houses that are located ridiculously close by.
Thank you for the compliment and support! All of those things you mention are my goals for each of my videos. I used to watch everyone else's Skyrim mod videos/house tours before starting my channel in late-June of last year, and I wouldn't like it when people would change directions quickly, so I try to make it predictable. And someone in the beginning told me my music was too loud, so now that's something I take into consideration, too. As far as homes near Whiterun, I did a couple that are pretty close, although some of my early subscribers said they didn't want to see homes near there because the area is too saturated with home mods, but I do plan on featuring some in the future. I will have a no-load door home across from the Western Watchtower coming out on Thursday (if I can get it finished up). I have my next 10 or so videos figured out, unless something new comes out between now and then. I like to cover the new stuff the most, since usually no one has covered it yet and I always look for videos of new mods when I'm on Nexus.
Here are some near-ish to Whiterun that I've covered:
Apple Shanty (One of my favorites- A farmhouse West of Whiterun, before you hit Silent Moon's Camp):
ruclips.net/video/3jWQdLsc9iM/видео.html
Dragon Falls Manor (Located on the White River between Riverwood and Whiterun, this home has lots of soils, a huge deck and dining area that gives a fantastic view of Whiterun. You have your own ebony mine and outdoor smithing. The inside of the home is okay, but the outside of the home makes this one pretty cool.):
ruclips.net/video/uWc0iXREPU8/видео.html
Mistral Manor (This one is in the Tundra, within the hold, but a little further out. If you haven't seen this one, you should. The basement is one of the coolest designed special areas I've seen in any home mod... Very Rayek's End-like but unique): ruclips.net/video/C9b6znoDVbA/видео.html
Snapneck Shack (Tree home between Riverwood and Whiterun with lots of clickies):
ruclips.net/video/ou_9WKa8g58/видео.html
Barrel Home Reloaded- Double Barrel (very unique home by the Western Watchtower, no load doors):
ruclips.net/video/LZNUkwwyA3c/видео.html
The Ruined Lookout(small place to stay very early in game):
ruclips.net/video/iec2zQ0f1yE/видео.html
Rayek's End (Cave home right on the White River):
ruclips.net/video/mP2zjQXWjCE/видео.html
The Nook (Small home between Riverwood and Whiterun):
ruclips.net/video/Bl4mfP0JCLU/видео.html
Poetry Seed(Right on the White River):
ruclips.net/video/sw38BiFZFiQ/видео.html
Closer to Riverwood, which is still pretty close:
Riverwood Falls Manor and Bleakwood Mines (This is a top 10 home ever for me. The courier delivers a note from the former owner bequeathing you the home, so it gives you a nice backstory to start. It has a huge home and guest house for your family and followers. Your crafting areas are really unique... Large armory in a cave with vendors, the biggest mine I've ever seen in Skyrim, a really cool alternate bedroom and crafting with alchemy, enchanting, staff enchanting, and spider imbuing chamber, as well as a nature area that adds some cool spells, bosses, and a shortcut to Bleakfalls Barrow's interior):
ruclips.net/video/LnqZVOkqfz4/видео.html
Vandfald Cottage (I'd put this in my top 20 home mods ever because of how beautiful the outside of the home is, greenhouse included, treehouse included, cool room to store collectibles, and it's the same mod author that made Hjertesten Hall, so you know it's going to be good):
ruclips.net/video/MSECKmuAxMk/видео.html
Lonewolf's Manor (very elaborate, space for 100 followers, own mine, cool Ayleid -themed collector's storage room):
ruclips.net/video/SOkZKbdDc40/видео.html
Bradain Chorr (One of my favorites; A no load door farm home on a beautiful peace of land right outside of Riverwood): ruclips.net/video/HdRJc_w02gA/видео.html
Squatter's Shack (A simple very early in game starter home with a backstory): ruclips.net/video/uQIkS5_FGE0/видео.html
If this reply was too long, sorry! I get carried away sometimes. :D
I recently reinstalled Skyrim after nearly 10 years. This mod was included in Nolvus. It's probably the best home mod I've yet seen. I only wished the mod author made the location further up the mountains in the area. The views from there would have been better.
I can understand that want, and yes, it is awesome! A great house mod in the Rift is always desirable, but pair that with getting to invite your friends with several ways to earn it and an income script, and it's the bomb.com
@@SkyrimPlus How did you get the hired alchemist to actually be hired as an alchemist? I managed to hire Arcadia from Whiterun. She's an alchemist with her own shop, but I saw no option to hire her as an alchemist. I told her to stay in the farm house and now she's a farmer. She'll still have the option to increase my alchemy skill, but that's it.
@@Constellasian I think you have to "recruit" npcs in a certain order, like you can bring an alchemist after you've brought a farmer and blacksmith. That could be why you didn't have the option
I used to have this a while back, but man.... Thay has really taken it to the next level! I remember she had posted in the FB group that she had updated it, but i certainly didn't expect this!Downloaded the new version last night after watching this, and i am loving it. I have half of Shor's Stone working for me now 😂 Only downside I've found is that (on XBox) the navmesh in the garden/pool area is a teeny bit wonky. Can you imagine if she had added the ability to add Christmas decorations like with her Winterberry Chateau? But really, she's put so much amazing work into this already that I can't ask for more.
Her Springwood Estate has Christmas decorations, too! 🎄 I gave most of my jobs to beggars and people I beat in fights, to give them a better life! 😆 Hjertesten Hall is much nicer than Shor's Stone, so you're giving them an upgrade, too. Glad you are enjoying her update!
Just got this mod and it’s absolutely awesome. Just running into the problem that my kids won’t move into the house. And solution or help would be awesome!! Thanks
When I got it to work, I went into the home in the kids' room and used the Bless This Home spell from the Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions. Make sure to get the USSEP patch for the Hearthfire Extended mod, too(if you have USSEP installed). And make sure it's the most up-to-date version of Hjertesten.
@@SkyrimPlus thank you so much! Works perfectly now!
Just bought the place today. I just walked by it and had a talk with the owner. Sure it yours for 50K. Took me about 10 hours to collect the money and bought it just to find out there is a hole questline i missed and could have been handed the money almost for free :)
It's pretty neat. That was the first thing that drew me to this mod was the extensive backstory and being able to find the 50k! At least you'll know for your next playthrough!
Well, you just convinced me to redownload this mod.
Solid decision! I hope you enjoy it again!
I really wish this model was compatible with blackthorn. It would be cool to have a massive town to rule over.
Hjertesten - word hjerte sten that means in english heart stone you have to split up hjertesten to hjerte sten to even try to announse it slightly correct.
That's good to know! Heartstone Hall has a good ring to it. I just went with what the voice synth said during my playthrough to not confuse the audience since the voice synth says it a few times.
@@SkyrimPlus yeah i noticed that.
yeah, that was my bad. I let xva synth record it the way I could because I didn't know how to type the correct pronuntiation. The mod was updated with the right pronuntiation now, at least the best I could do with the synth program :)
@@dovahkiinathay3421 yeah i know the problem with synth record, but thankfully people all over the world are playing and still play skyrim since 2011. And i always try to help when it comes to my language but it's not easy to remember how a sound is on the letters but on the e is just flat e on pronunsing it. Cool mod.
Such a wonderful showcase.
This is a fantastic channel, ive been watching your playlists all afternoon.
Question, I think followers are my favorite collectable in Skyrim, what house ehowcases as many as possible at once? 30 people in Elysium is a bit much!
Thank you for the compliments and the views!
I try to put out something I'd like to watch! :D
As far as suggestions, Hjertesten is a great place for many followers (close to 30).
Lonewolf's Manor has add-on mods that increase it's follower capacity from 12 to 100! That place has all crafting, staff enchanter, a REALLY COOL secret treasure room (which has LOTD support, so if you play with that, it allows you to display the same object in both places), it's own mine, etc.
Havran Castle provides a ship and a castle for you as well as homes for your followers on an island within its own worldspace. I don't remember exactly how many followers it accommodates, but they would have their own places to live in within a village.
Riverwood Falls Manor and Bleak Mines is another great home for followers and a family, with all crafting, stones with cool buffs, staff enchanter, lots of soils, a HUGE mine (the biggest I've seen in any mod or vanilla), a really cool nature area with some unique weapons and a back way in to Bleak Falls Barrow, etc.
If you want a really impressive place with lots of NPC's that you can recruit, check out Mortum Castle (67 custom NPC's live there, and it's beautiful), LC's Build Your Noble House, Sjel Blad Castle (too many features to list, but they have tons of recruitable NPC's, all sorts of creature followers, mounts, an arena, etc.) Traveller's Inn (26 beds for followers and skill trainers live there) or LC's Noble Keep.
I have videos for all of those besides Traveller's Inn and LC's Noble Keep.
Others that I don't have videos for but might be good for such a playthrough would be Castle Revelhost, but it does conflict with Helsmyrr Village, if you have that installed.
Hope this helps!
@@SkyrimPlus I can't tell you how much I appreciate this answer.
I've seen most of the videos of yours talking about the homes you've listed, but I've got a couple videos to watch. Thanks for also pointing out some of the homes that you haven't done videos for.
Seriously, you're a really nice person.
(your channel is criminally under subscribed to. Your content is wonderful!!!!!)
@@theg0z0n Thanks for the compliments and support! And happy house hunting!!! 🏠
Great presentation!
I just subcribed to your channel
@@Obamas_Elf Thank you so much! I appreciate that and your compliment!
That makes a whole DLC!😯
It does!
It’s a wonderful mod! Very beautiful and I love being able to manage a large land. Does anyone know where the supply chest is located that your Stewart refers to? They say” don’t forget to check the supply chest from time to time “
@DovahkiinaThay3421
It's amazing and I love it, but......
It's located exactly where Blackthorn is placed. Dang.
Yes. That's true. It's a tough decision to make when two great mods conflict with each other. Maybe you could have both in your library and switch between the two when you start a new playthrough. You could use something like Silverstead for your buildable city mod while Hjertesten could be your home village. 🏡
Thank you so much! I was so confused because it would only allow me to recruit warriors or blacksmiths. I was not able to get my steward to work. All she did was the dialog from where I recruited her. Still not sure how to fix that.
You're welcome! I think certain people are seen as acceptable for certain jobs. Like I couldn't hire the town drunk as my alchemist, but I could for tavern keep or warrior.
I wonder if you could dismiss your steward and try rehiring? Or possibly trying a different NPC as steward? You should have quite a few different dialogue options once that person has moved in and accepted the position. Personally, I used Faendal for mine, and he worked. I noticed a few people in the posts section on the mod page said that they hired one of the blacksmiths from Whiterun, but they wouldn't sell to them, and the advice given was to dismiss them and rehire. It seemed to work, so try that!
I have this mod on, but I only have options for people to live in my houses and the steward, I dont have a option to recruit a priest, guards, alchemist or warriors. Do you happens to know why?
There are only 3 options for priests, all located at the Shrine of Mara. You can only hire guards after you upgrade your fence to the full wall. The person needs to be a qualified alchemist already, like Inguin Blackbriar or Elgrim, etc. And I'm not sure about the warriors. Those should be easy to recruit. Try giving a homeless person a coin, wait for the gift of charity thing to pop up on the screen, and then start talking to them "about Hjertesten" and see if the warrior dialogue option works. Most jobs have conditions, like the person has to be your friend to be invited to work. You could also force this with the setrelationshiprank console command that's demonstrated in the middle of the video. That's what I would try! Hope it works for you!
@@SkyrimPlus oh, thank you. I Will try this.
@@dezyta Let me know if it works for you! Good luck! 🤞
@@SkyrimPlus It did, thank you!
seems like some dialogues appear only after you hire other npcs due to the ammount of dialogue lines under 1 dialgue topic. Try hiring other npcs and see if the dialogue appears :)
I’m having trouble actually adopting the kids whenever I doo hjestenen hall doesn’t pop up as an option am I doing something wrongV
I'm not sure if this will 100 percent work for you, but this worked for me. I had both USSEP and Hearthfire Extended with Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions. There was a patch on Nexus I needed for those three to work together. I downloaded that patch, went to the main home, cast the Bless This Home spell, and I was able to adopt. You may try adding that patch, if you haven't already and remember to cast the spell in the house first. It worked for me.
www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/67561
can you upgrade the beds to noble furniture too? The basic wood beds always make my back hurt just looking at them.
Sorry for taking so long to respond. I think it does!
Anyone know how I get a steward? I can’t figure that out
Edit, figured it out, got uthgard the unbroken to have that diolauge option
First, make sure you have bought the home. Second, make sure the key is in your inventory. Next, make sure to try it on a follower, or someone you've completed a fetch quest for or someone who you've used console commands to change your relationship rank with them. If I were you, I would test it on Faendal. In the dialogue, select about Hjertesten, suggest Faendal cokes to work for you, and the steward option should show up. Name him steward, and then if you want someone else, you can always fire him and hire the new person after you confirm it is working on your end.
Great video it taught me so much. But I am trying to hire a blacksmith but it won’t give me an option to do that. Did I do something wrong?
Thank you for the compliment! Try these tips and let me know how this goes... 1. Make sure you indeed own the home. 2. Make sure you've hired the steward. 3. Try to hire a known blacksmith. I hired the one in Riften after becoming his friend by bringing him fire salts and then going through the "About Hjertesten" dialogue. Try that and let me know how that goes!
@@SkyrimPlus so I do have a steward and I do have the blacksmith, he is able to sell me things but he is not able to do everything because he lives in the stables house. I’ve been trying to find the faulty blacksmith to correct this. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do?
@@shronkboi1019 Try dismissing the blacksmith from his job and then go back immediately and try to hire him again. Thay has recommended that to other players before. If that doesn't work, dismiss him and try another known blacksmith like the one in Riften. He is the one I used, so I know he works. So just to make sure I'm understanding 100 percent, the blacksmith will sell you things, but he won't make you armor or change the shrine?
@@SkyrimPlus yes he allows me to buy and sell but I can’t do other things I should do
@@SkyrimPlus it did not work. Is there any way to make everyone move out at the same time?
Having trouble hiring a pest and an alchemist. Any advice? What NPCs can I hire for those positions
Some of the positions have conditions that have to be met. Thay, the mod author, put a lot of thought behind who you could recruit and tried to make it really specific. I recruited Ingun Blackbriar because I knew she had a connection to alchemy, and to gain favor, I just needed to bring her those three ingredients she requested when you talk to her in Elgrim's Elixirs. You could probably recruit Muiri from Markarth at The Hag's Cure after completing her quest. And you could probably recruit any existing alchemist, like Arcadia, as long as you have a favorable relationship with them. If you want to speed that along, I would use the "set relationshiprank" to 3 console command and then start the dialogue where you try to hire them.
what armour mods you used in 35:34 marriage? is it available on LE?
I'm about 90 percent sure it's from the BDOR Complete Collections by Kirax. When I downloaded it, it was from this site, but it isn't showing the same options anymore: kiraxskyrim.com/
On a quick Google search, I found that a mod of the same name appears to be available on Lover's Lab. I'm not sure if it's available for LE or not though, as I didn't visit the link, but at least you have a starting point for your research. Also, just a head's up that this collection is about 7 gb, so make sure you have a google amount of storage on your drive for it!
@@SkyrimPlus geez, 7gb .. those should be high quality collections. thanks for the info
@mireshka You're welcome. It's a huge collection!
@@SkyrimPlusunfortunately, there is no collection for LE by Kirax, but i found more interesting BDOR collection for LE by teamTAL. still thankful for the info cause i didnt play Black Desert so i didnt know what should i search for my armor collections.
@@mireshka Glad you found something you like. I like Team TAL's Bloodborne pack.
So, I've encountered a problem where it only allows me to hire blacksmiths, warriors, and farmers. It won't prompt me the steward (I've even tried faendal for reference). Any recommendations?
for some reason it's happening with the newer version of the mod. Try exiting the dialogue and opening again. After a few times the dialogue show up (I know it sucks but I'm still not sure of what may be causing that...)
Amazing mod and as detailed as it is I'm assuming that it is only available on PC correct?
It's available for Xbox, too! I believe there's a link in the description for the Xbox version!
@@SkyrimPlus I've searched and searched and searched and I cannot find a link to the Xbox version, but if you know of it and can locate it could you link it here? I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!

What happen to the spiders in the under ground cave if you don't do the back story and just buy the house are there still there and can you still get the display room or do you have to kill the first
you can just ask the steward to turn into the treasure room. Just pretend the warriors killed them hahaha
I had this mod for two playthroughs. Never got married 😅 too much like real life 😂
It's never too late! :D I hardly ever get married while playing, but I wanted to demonstrate it for example's sake.
What guard armor are you using I love the Ivarstead guard's armor

I can't get Lucia to move there from white run
@churchvstheworld5815 Try going up to her, save your game, exit the game, restart the save, and initiate the conversation again. Let me know if thst works for you. It does for me sometime.
I don’t realize there was a quest that led up to basically getting the house for free. I’ll be starting a fresh game just for this now lol.
I do have a question. In my current game, all the houses around the main hall say they are farmers homes, even the house next to the blacksmithing stations. Is that normal? I also recruited Ysolda from Whiterun for my tavern keeper and she never showed up. Btw I’m on Xbox.
Glad the video inspired you to restart! :D First, for Ysolda, try firing her and then rehiring her. If that doesn't work, my personal bar keep was the drunkard from Riverwood. He'll work, for sure! As far as the home names, the only thing I noticed like that was the guard's home was also named the warrior's home, I guess just in case you don't do the fortify upgrade. The home closest to the stable is for your warriors. The house next to that (near all of the animals) is the farmer's house. The blacksmith lives in the house closest to the farm, but the smithing stations are even closer. And next to the blacksmith is the guard's house. Those are the four homes, other than the main hall, that are in that main area with the well. Hope this helps!
@@SkyrimPlus thanks for the reply! I’ve tried to find Ysolda and she’s not in Whiterun anymore and I haven’t ran into her in the open world. I thought it might take a day or two in game for her to arrive, but she just disappeared.
@jcool2220 Try these. First, go into the tavern, go downstairs, go to the bedroom on the left, and wait there until 1 a.m. See if she goes to bed in that room. Another idea, if that doesn't work, is hosting a feast. Theoretically, your workers should show up for the feast.
My last thought would be to reload the save before you hired her and try again. I know she is usually in the Whiterun Marketplace around 9 a.m. each day, so you could try there or her house. It's also possible she is wandering around the property when not on her shift. They like to go idle in different spots around the village. Hope one of those works!
I have question. Can we use this mod together with Kaidan 2 and Kaidan 2 Immersive mod without any problems? It was written on the mod's homepage that it was not compatible.
I just spoke with Thay, the mod author, and she said that it can be used without issues as long as you download the patches for those mods from Nexus. Hope this helps!
@@SkyrimPlus Thank you.
I thought to post this here hoping that someone with porting skills sees it. There is this mod ported for us on Xbox but even though it's called the 'final version' and it looks like it's from this year, it doesn't have the changes that the mod author listed on nexus. It'd be really great if someone could port that true updated version to Bethesda as at the moment it crashes a lot, kids can't move in, there are issues with some NPCs not showing up, lacks number of buttons the author added recently, it doesn't seem like the final version, and we xboxers love this establishment too 🤓🙏🏻 I am happy to beg, just tell me who? 😂
It would be best to go to the Nexus page of the mod and write your concerns in the "posts" section. The mod author often checks those, and she is very friendly and responsive. Hope this helps.
@@SkyrimPlusit would be, except that nexus blocked me due to "bot activity" because I wasn't downloading any mods, because I was there for comments only...I don't have a PC, only Mac and Xbox.
Nexus aren't normal people
@@mj-uc6wc You could also look her up on Discord. I know a lot of people use that to communicate. Or you could always make up a new account for Nexus under a different email address.
@@SkyrimPlus they will block me again if I don't download any mods and comment only. I can't get Skyrim on Mac. Discord guys want some sort of login/ user name details for the Bethesda Skyrim account that I don't use and don't remember. They use those details to establish your "level" or something rather, as in how experienced you are. I tried it all. The fact is, there isn't any good way to communicate with mod authors when you are a console user.
@@mj-uc6wc You could reply to her comment below. Her name is Dovahkiinathay3421.
So do you need hearthfire adoptions to send your child here?
Yep! Just go in and cast "Bless this Home," and you're good to go.
It is disappointing the mod doesn't introduce a lot more characters for usage as hired help on the property. Taking characters from other cities leaves a void in those cities and probably some unintended consequences.
Use Pocket Empire Builder. They introduce a bunch of recruitable NPC's in a new bar near Whiterun.
@@SkyrimPlus I play on xbox one x, not pc. Your recommendation isn't available.
How do you invite the kids 2 join the the mam or dad in the farmer house
You speak to them and in the dialogue, there is dialogue that is somewhere along the lines of "How is your family?" After asking, they'll tell you a story, and then you can suggest that they can move in too!
Bethesda easily could make us buy this for 15 bucks
And know what?... I ended up buying it
Agreed! Dovahkiinathay does excellent work. Very thorough, thoughtful, and skilled!
I actually prefered the earlier versions, it became a bit too much.
Understandable. Some people like smaller scoped homes. 🏡
can you still do the quest if you bought it already
If I remember correctly, you can still get the money. You may be able to report his death to the Ivarstead bar owner. You wouldn't be able to opt to work on the property without buying, and you wouldn't be able to have plan b or c because you would've already bought it. So to finish the quest, there are two final outcomes, and within one of the outcomes, you can either kill the guard or pay him off and then use the other half plus your money to buy Hjertesten.
Having trouble getting this to load on Xbox I did add it a few hours into my play through not sure if that’s why I’m having issues
I have a few leading questions that may help me find you an answer.
First, did you update through Bethesda, or did you block it?
I still haven't updated (I play 1.6.353 on PC), and I couldn't get it either until I downloaded the mod: Backported Extended ESL Support.
Another possibility is a mod conflict...
Do you have any other mods that alter that area, like Kaidan 2, Blackthorn, Waterview in Skyrim, etc.? If so, a conflict could possibly be occurring.
If you're still trying to figure things out, maybe start a new playthrough with only it activated, and see if it shows up.
@@SkyrimPlus I finally got it to work after a couple days not sure what the issue was but luckily it was resolved! Thanks for responding so quickly loved the video
@@grimeythree4294 Yay! Glad it worked for you, and thanks for the support!
Well I think it's broken I can't talk to Wilhelm and tell him that the other guy it death 🧐🤔
You have to buy the home first, and then you can bring up the dialogue. I had thought that in testing, too, until I spoke with the mod author. I bought the house, tried again, and it worked.
How do I bring my adopted children
Use the Bless This Home spell from the Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions mod.
@@SkyrimPlus is that mod only on the nexus or could I get from the mods/creation. Playing on my Xbox right now
@Thekillerdeuce It's available for Xbox. Search Hearthfire Multiple Adoption at Bethesda.net. It's way easier to search on their site than on the console. It's a mod by TMPhoenix. When you find it, make sure you're logged into the same account as your console is and favorite it. Then, you can get on your Xbox and look at your favorites list to find it to install more easily.
Awesome thank you!
This is the most infuriating mod ive ever had.
My last 7 nights playing consists of -
About hjerste.... no i dont think so...
......ok
Use the part of the video where I show how to change their relationship rank.
@SkyrimPlus I figured it out eventually. But I'm so hard headed I never pay attention to guides. I just went on recruiting spree that failed miserably lol
@@thatrandomguycommenting1261 I may have done that a time or two, also. No worries!
Does this mod clash with blackthorn build your own town?
Yes, it does. Blackthorn, Hjertesten, and Waterview for Skyrim all clash, so you'll have to choose which one you want for your playthrough.
This app is probably for the best since blackthorn doesnt seem to be updated in years
Both are great options. I'd use one in your current playthrough and try the other on your next playthrough. They're both fantastic mods, and we're lucky to have access to both!
Is this available on ps5??!
Unfortunately, no. Playstation doesn't allow external assets, so they get far less mods than PC and Xbox, unfortunately.
@@SkyrimPlus Larian Studios bringing offical modding to BG3 for consoles in Patch 7, such great dedication to fans on that platform. I say this because I'm a fan of them, but also I cry for console players not having access to some of the most amazing published designs for this game. All the best chaps.
@@anthonymorris1360 I've never played BG 3 before, but I've seen a lot of praise for it by Skyrim players, so I might have to try it sometime. I bought Starfield and I haven't played one second of it yet. I own Fallout 3 and 4 and never played either of those either. Skyrim has me locked it, although when NCAA Football 25 comes out this summer, I'm probably going to do a deep dive into that, too. lol Been waiting for that game to come back out for 11 years!
PC only?
Nope! It's also available for Xbox! I included the link to the Xbox version in the description. 😀
Wheres the jail?
If you are facing the front door, the jail appears in the left corner of that same wall when you send someone there. I sent Nazeem there, and the jail appeared after I told him he was going there. You can also open and close the cage door. When you tell them they can leave jail, the cage disappears.
I have been completely unable to find torben
Torben is dead in the cave under the home.
