Some Hearthfire related things I would personally want to see done would be things like:
1. Super landplot, some kind of buyable plot of land where there where not one workbench and a drafting table, but three, allowing oyu to build three house right next to eachother (not in a straight row tho, that would look wierd), that way it could be made to look like it really was a singel pice of property, giving you eaought available wings to have one of each of the uniqe rooms. Then you could devote one of the hoese to family life, one to knowledge and one to crafting or something. Have no Idea if this is realistic or not, but since there are allready three homesteads in Skyrim I figure that it should be "possible" to copy whatever mechanics are used in those buildingprocesses and put tree new buildingsites in one place. To prevent all three houses from pointing in the same direction directing I guess youd have to rotate them. Htis would have course mean, that for example, the "western" wing would not actually point towards west in at leats two of the houses, but who really cares?
2. Ability to remove htings youve built and replace them, both furniture and buildings. I dont care if it gives you back some of the building material or not, as long as I know that the choises I make are not carved in stone.
3. More races for children, this is somehting that would probably be really hard to do, I guess the probably most realistic way to do this in would be to retexture a child and swap ears for eleven kids, mouths for orcs and the whole head for beast race childs. (They would probably still use the same voices as other children) For the beast races who in all cases would need to have their whole facemodle swaped there is of course the problem that the new face wouldnt look childish enought. For kajiit girls one could perhapps make use of this mod: "http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17040" Tho the mod is originally intended form making pretty khajiit women, the fact that it adds option for much larger eyes could be used to make the character appear more cute and childlike, something that could be usefull if you want to convine someone that the short kajiit in front of them is a child. That is, of course, If tktk would let us use his/her mod for this. I dont even really have any idea on how you would create a convincing argonian hatchling witchout doing some serious face moddeling youself.
I realize this last one would be hard as h*ll tho, wichever one of these crazy ideas one would devote oneself to, Im just trying to at least brainstorm some theory (I know very little of how modding works) based suggestions on how one could possibly execute these ideas of mine instead of just coming up with wild thoughts hoping that someone will figure everything out for me. And again, these are still just suggestions on mods that I personally would like to see, Im not really expecting anyone to do all this for me :P
