LE A Mod idea that expands and fully integrates Hearthfire

[Jorbastian1996]

Skyrim Hearthfire Extended

 

The Mod in short:

This idea for a mod is centered around the expansion and integration of the Hearthfire DLC. It will include a rather expansive storyline/quest line involving a few new characters and several old friends and acquaintances. It is meant that each house of hearthfire, has it's own approach to the story, completing the story will unlock two/three new plots of land with unique building probabilities. The housebuilding itself will be expanded further as well. The role of the steward will be much more enlarged and complicated and all together more important. It will also be possible to adopt two more children (through quest line). The initial building proces will be expanded allowing you to build 3 family wings and through the use of two small hallways you can also build two other wings and two towers. The basement can also be expanded. With a training area, Wine Cellar, Safety Cellar and a Hidden Armory

 

I am currently working on the fully outwritten idea for the mod, together with a friend, we have some modding expierence but we want to start a team through this forum, if there is some interest in the idea, we will upload all the things we have thought of and written

 

Cheers, Jorbastian

Also, if you can get this to work. It could be used to allow the dragonborn to rebuild winterhold via quests and or buying/gathering materials

Awesome idea. I hope this gets done soon, I loved building the house and would really like to expand further on it. Spending time on my house and watching it grow as I gathered the materials to build more was more exciting than doing the quests IMO. Hopefully Bethesda will create an expansion that allows you to expand to an entire town by allowing you to build more small houses and shops and maybe even a market square, persuade others to come and live there and become the Jarl yourself. That means hiring guards, charging taxes to pay for the guards and so on. The tax level decides on whether people start to talk of leaving or not. This can go well beyond the basic hack and slash game it originally was.

 

But for this mod:

An armory that allows you to store all the special weapons and armor you've accumulated that you don't use any more. I really hope there are several manikins there too, 10 would be great, I'd like one for each of the armors I have.

A safe room with loads of safes where you can store stuff in the safes according to their type or whatever your preference is.

A play room for the kids with toys and stuff for them to play with.

 

Hopefully it will be on mostly flat ground so that we could have a field with lots of plots for planting wheat, cabbages or such and a field for sheep, cows, goats. Also somewhere to buy these animals since nobody seems to sell them.

 

Just had a funny thought, use the mining animation to allow you to make tunnels and new underground caves to hide in under your home. Exits at certain locations to use as bolt holes and place some spiders eggs to hatch and catch anyone trying to enter your home through them, of course the spiders would be completely passive toward you, almost pets.
