I regret making an Alchemy tower. I should have done the trophy room >.<

Well, I can tell you this much: all of my Dragonborns are alchemists: it is the one skill that I cannot do without (well, there's also restoration magic). So all of the houses I build (if indeed I ever get to do so) will have Alchemy labs.

You can build both an enchanters table and Alchemist table in the main hall >.< Kind of makes having entire areas for them useless.

My first choice was the Lakeview house but I have a bug with the Falkreath Jarl so I cant finish one of his quests and become accepted or w/e.

Ended up going with Windstad Manor, chose enchanter tower, trophy room, and the kitchen.

children = lucia and blaise, wife = darkelf from the mage college, steward = ghorbash the iron fist(?), housecarl = Vladimar, along with my Khajit being followed by Derkethus and a dog.

I basically wanted as many different races living there as possible(which explains why I chose my wife) so it looked like a little town of not just nords.
Also even though Windstad Manor was not my first choice I think I ended up liking it the most because of the layout outside as well as the fish hatchery. However I have run into a bug when trying to get my dog to be the kid's pet, it seems like it is specific to this house, the dog tries to sit on some rocks but cannot stay still on them and after a few attemps to find a flat area to sit it walks off into nowhere and I can't find it anywhere(tried different dogs).
