What is your primary home like?

I own every house, but live in Riften's Honeyside. I purchased all of the upgrades, but because the house is haunted glitched, all of the items fall onto the ground, so I plundered the house and picked up every single item. It's kind of empty now, but it's still home. On the table right in front of the door, I have the dark brotherhood assassination note. I wanted to have the justicar execution order right next to it, but the cowards never attacked me despite killing hundreds of Thalmor. Nothing else is in the front room, but I do have Ysgramor's shield hanging from the wall, with the two unique Blades swords on either side.

In my bedroom, I have 36 books on my shelf. They're all either about the beast races, dragons, the empire or the thalmor. My character is a pro-empire, pro-blades, anti-thalmor Argonian, so it is what it is. I also have some books on werewolves because she is one. The 37th book - the Book of the Dragonborn - is on my nightstand. In the nightstand, I have every key I ever collected. The chest to the left contains all of my daedric artifacts. In front of the bed, I have my "party chest" - 100,000 gold, 10 gold ingots, 30 moon sugar, 30 skooma, 30 sleeping tree sap, 30 spiced wine and 30 wine. The right nightstand has every claw, while the wardrobe at the end of the room has every dragon mask in it. I wanted to have Keening in the weapon rack, but it's glitched and falls to the ground, so it's in my daedric chest until a patch.

The downstairs alchemy room is empty.

The housecarl's room is also empty - I don't have a housecarl because I chose not to be Thane - but it does have seven permanent corpses in there. I ate all of them. My character is also a secret cannibal. Two redguards, two khajiit, two nords and one imperial.

The enchanting room is also more-or-less empty. Both of my mannequins are wearing dragon armor - one light and one heavy - and I have the three faction weapons on the racks - Wuuthrad, Blade of Woe and Staff of Magnus.

I wish the Riften house had some display cases, as many of the other houses are nicer, but I've always liked Honeyside. My only complaint is my books, as they don't neatly sit on the shelf and are toppling over one-another. Most annoying is the fact that the Argonian Account Book 2 looks completely different than books 1, 3 and 4, but I've asked questions about that before and nobody replied. I'm not sure if it's a glitch, or if there are smaller versions of the book as well. I've looked everywhere for that book and I just can't find a small version.

Well, it depends on which toon of the 15.... Some of mine have Breezehome, some have Proudspire, some have Honeyside. Lately I prefer Honeyside (even if the mod for the smithing area with the mannequin means that ALL the mannequins are haunted.... scary, that!)

I always have to add mods to get all the crafter bits in the houses. Well, except Breezehome - I only need the Arcane Enchanter mod for it, because the smithy is just out the door and down the street a few paces....

Mine is full of dead bodies. Being a necromancer comes with a rough home life.

As far as what they're "like" - other than the modded bits, they're just vanilla - because until the CK comes out it's too damn tedious to place things and get them to stay put. So - no, they don't really "look like home" yet, except in my RP'ing mind.

Things stay put in my house. Maybe it's because I don't have a housecarl. I've heard a few other people say that housecarls are the reason things get knocked down. On my save with a housecarl, my dragonborn book slowly crept to the right, but without one it's been at the center of my nightstand all game.

Oh, I don't have the housecarls either. I do the thane bits, then MarkForDelete the stupid broads. But every time I walk in stuff is all over the place again. *shrug* Doesn't matter, it'll eventually be fixable. Literally as well as figuratively....

Well I usually always will save up straight away for a nice home in Solitude. Afterwards, I then proceed to filling the basemant up with bodies of any & all I kill.

Other than the smelly, rotting, corpse filled basemant, I like to decorate my home with various items such as people wearing clothing. I will waste hours dressing them up & stuffing them in a chair to make it look as if they are eating/drinking at a table.

My bedroom always has to be the exact way I want it, filled with books with a dead spouse under the pile in a corner. I also have a wonderful collection of Dwemer civil wear, human heart/flesh, & rare stones piled up in one spot.

I could go on & on, but the rest tends to be more disturbing as I go on.

Glitches all my items end up on the floor.

I am hoping they fix this in a patch as I decorate my houses like crazy and I take hours in personalizing my characters house. As I think the hone should reflect the character your playing as for me it adds to ny roleplaying experience.

Yes.... which is why I do nothing until the CK comes out.

I don't have a house in Skyrim. I do have the arch-mage's quarters though if that counts.

It's a player residence at that point, so yeah, I think it counts.

I have all (all loaded) except WIndhelm (just haven't bought it yet) and I don't really take the time to sort my stuff - I started to, but ended up getting rushed and lazy and just started stashing everything wherever. The only order is that all of my ingredients are in the Apothecary Satchel on the Alchemy Table and all my smithing stuff is in the cabinet next to the front door in Whiterun.

I have a full Dwarven armor set and a full Orcish armor set on the mannequins in Honeyside. ...Full Ebony set and Full Glass set in Proudspire. They'd be cool if I could actually see them.

I never have anything but the mannequins move in Honeyside. And stuff I drop that isn't in a container.

My setup is pretty basic. I pick a cabinet for alchemy ingredients, one for smithing and one for enchanting, then a chest or wardrobe for special armor and weapons. I put books in the shelves by how they look rather than content.

I kind of miss the Oblivion houses- it took hours to get things in place, but when you put something somewhere, it usually stayed unless you bumped it. So you could personalize the houses a lot more.

Yah, everything's in containers right now, because even the stuff that COMES in the shelves when you get the houses moves around. Onto the floor, onto other shelves, just disappears.... If I put books in the shelves, they're standing. Until the next time I'm home, then they're lying down. Oh well.... it's like having the damn housecarl still there even though she's long gone....

My home is a Dwemer airship that functions as a mini village and a weapon of mass destruction. It has own crew, merchants, guardian spheres and ballistic cannons to rain fiery death on my enemies.

Or rather it will be once I get my hands on the CK.

For now it is a storage chest in breezehome. :-/

i have all 5 homes, but currently live in a cave

I live in the Markarth house. I have cleared off one big table and it displays all my Dragon Priest Masks and claw keys (I just like the way those look), and the other big table dsplays my Daedric shrine quest rewards.

If you drop items out of your inventory, pick it up NOT putting it back into inventory, drop it again, then pick it up AGAIN (not into inventory) and place it on the table, it will stay there!

I use Dovahkiin's Hideout, so basically my house is a massive ode to weapons and armor mods... I keep my best swords there and try to avoid using them unless I really need them.
