Okay so I want your help finding myself a wife, as close to perfect as possible.

Name of your suggestion: ................
Location of your suggestion: ...............

Important criteria:
(Put an X in the box if your suggestion meets the criteria)

*Race;
- Nord, Imperial or Breton [ ]
Looks;
- Is she pretty and/or beautiful? [ ]
Voice;
- Does she have a good voice? [ ]
(Whether it be singing or just normal)
*Ownership;
- Is she a home owner? [ ]
Career;
- Does she have some sort of income? [ ]
(Blacksmith, general trader etc.)

-NOTE- You don't NEED to meet all of these, but as close to all as you can.
(Criteria marked with an asterisk are more important.)

Thanks for your help, let's find me a wife!

Bump, don't let me die a lonely warrior

Aela...she bites and mite have fleas but is awesome and fits everything you want..plus she kicks ass

Beauty is relative. For example, many like Camilla in Riverwood. I find her hideous. Mostly the lips. Too pursed, looked like she purposefully treated them to make herself look "proper", and I think she's ugly as sin.

Well, like I said, as many on the list as possible, and looks aren't one of the more important factors

Sylgja is a good one. She fits all your criteria plus is a general goods vendor as well. http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Sylgja Her house is not very fancy, but all the items will become your's when you marry her.

Perfect! Thanks!

You could look for yourself.

Note however that a couple of these seem to be bugged one way or another. Hopefully the upcoming patch fixes them.

Name of your suggestion: Lydia
Location of your suggestion: Dragonsreach palace in Whiterun after killing the first dragon; granted as your Housecarl by the Jarl. She'll be standing by the door as you exit.

Important criteria:
(Put an X in the box if your suggestion meets the criteria)

*Race;
- Nord, Imperial or Breton [X]
Looks;
- Is she pretty and/or beautiful? [X]
Voice;
- Does she have a good voice? [X]

Dude, she's voice-acted by Susan Eisenberg; aka Wonder Woman from Justice League/Justice League Unlimited/Several DC Movies! In other words, she has "bedroom voice".


*Ownership;
- Is she a home owner? [-]
Career;
- Does she have some sort of income? [X]
(Blacksmith, general trader etc.)
If you don't take your spouse adventuring with you, *all* of them have an income. They will ask you if they can open a shop to keep busy with while you aren't around

You know you can't marry her without a console command fix. I don't know if the OP is even on the PC.

I like Carlotta in Whiterun, but the game won't let me marry her. The wiki says you can, but maybe it's a lie.

I don't believe it is supposed to be possible to marry Carlotta Valentia of Whiterun. Especially after you see what her personal quest is about.

Of the one's that I know work (without console help) I like Sylgja of Shor's Stone.

For the OP's format:

*Race;
- Nord, Imperial or Breton [X]
Looks;
- Is she pretty and/or beautiful? [X] - It's a game you know
Voice;
- Does she have a good voice? [X] - Opinion obviously. I have no idea if you think it's good.
(Whether it be singing or just normal) - No bards can be married without console help (PC only)
*Ownership;
- Is she a home owner? [X] - But please note that all houses owned by potential spouses are aweful. Even Whiterun's small house beats them all.
Career;
- Does she have some sort of income? [X] - ALL spouses get a job and offer 100 gold per day.

well there is this hideous thesis I posted here. It lists all the eligible NPCs the game has for you to marry (without using cheats). Just scroll down to the "GETTING A SPOUSE VIA NON-CHEATING METHOD" section and check out the "If seeking Female suitors" sub section there.

Sorry I don't have any pics for you to look at. Might end up including these later. But I listed their names and where you can find them in the game. Good luck!

edit: if you're looking to get rich quick, I'd highly recommend #9 Seek Viola Giordano. She's the elderly female Imperial with a real nice crib in Windhelm.

It would be a real tragedy if she were to suddenly expire by means other than that caused by the game.

It would be an even bigger coincidence that her mansion would suddenly all be yours....

I married Ysolda in Whiterun.

I'm playing as a Khajiit, and she's the only person I have encountered in the game that has anything remotely resembling a postitive view of my species. I think she's kind of hot (she looks like an ex-girlfriend of mine), she does open a little shop after you marry her, but it only generates like 100 gold a day.

Thought that was fixed for consoles in the new patch, but apparently not. Regardless, that the option doesn't automatically come up *is* a bug. All of the relevant dialogue for her marriage, in her voice, is already in the game.
