To Those Who Have Already Decorated A Home : V - Skyrim

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 12:13 am

The only house I've ever decorated properly was Vlindrel Hall, where I put dwemer items and armour around the place. I'll be moving out, and selling random stuff I don't need.

You can't really decorate the current homes anyway. I'm lucky if I can get a bug jar to stay in place.

Some home (like Windhelms) even the weapon racks are bugged and your items vanish. I really hope these homes you build are more bug free than that one. I won't even use it anymore after loosing several artifacts I had displayed there.

I will try to decorate the new homes, using the preset display options, but Skyrim's physics make real decorating neigh to impossible.

i have not tried to decorate in skyrim, but will with the new dlc

i did every house in oblivion including the add ons

what i miss in skyrim are the alchemy labs
i always looked for the master set, to get one in each home [the master sets were very hard to find]
i like that far better than the tables in skyrim

I'm curious, to those of you who have spent hours decorating your already existing homes, will you pack up and move all of your stuff to your new house that you build, or are you just going to "start fresh" and leave all of your old stuff at your house? I had never decorated a home before, but recently spent a long time getting Hjerim decorated. It was a lot of fun and I'm really happy with what I did with the place, but then this DLC gets announced and I feel like I started too early. I figure I'm just going to keep Hjerim as my main house, and move my family there if it's allowed, and just build a fortress of solitude somewhere... north of solitude? Or at least in the frozen wastes, if possible.

No way am I moving all the stuff I already used to decorate most of the player homes, my two main characters have plenty of stuff in storage to decorate three whole castles, three houses should be no problem. Clearing the massive collections out a bit would actually make it easier since some containers take a while to peruse they have so much in them. My first two characters are confirmed pack rats, who go to extreme lengths to get something unique. Unfortunately I do not have the time to get everything for each character, but they both have a load of stuff they want to be able to put on display. What is already on display will likely stay where it is. The weapon we got for becoming Thane of that hold will go to the house in that hold, so at least three weapons for each character will move.

I bought upgrades for the homes I have at the moment but haven't 'decorated' any. I just store all my stuff in the chest in Riften house.

I'll decorate the house I build, though.

I do it all the time. What other absurdly massive game let's you manipulate hundreds of real time 3d objects and then even allows you to view said objects in 3d in the inventory and even zoom in and rotate them? Brilliant.

I don't doubt that this feature is nice, it's just the physics that doesn't work well.

Granted, in Oblivion you couldn't decorate your house with paintbrushes because those would float. So... Paintbrushes were better for getting on buildings.

Everyone loves the floating paintbrushes. Except those that don't.
