Skyrim, buying land

July 29, 2013 4:37:06 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Simple question, when you buy property do you buy a house or an empty land plot you build a building on? If so what buildings can you build? How much do they end up costing? I realize this is something more appropriate for the skyrim forum, but its so large I figured this will get noticed here. TY for any info.

To my knowledge, you can buy three plots of land, in holds you couldn't buy a house, where you can build your own house in the Hearthfire DLC, in addition to the player houses from base Skyrim. I don't have any of the DLC, or patches for that matter, but I got much of my info from the Elder Scrolls Wiki, and the info you are specifically interested in can be found here.

I assume you are talking about the Hearthfire DLC?  In the Vanilla game, you would buy a home in a town and it would be already built.  If you are buying one of the homes from the DLC, it's just a plot of land and you have to build it.  Building it cost resources, you can gather stone, wood and clay or just buy it from your steward.  You have to make some follower a steward too.  Iron is the biggy you have to obtain and have crafted into shit to build you house, go to every town and buy all the iron you can find.  

 

How much it cost?  Shit, was that the question...um...hmm...tens of thousands probably.

Ty. Yeah I read the wiki, but with its wording it was a bit hard to differentiate between a house already built and a plot of land you build on so I wanted to be sure. I'd rather save my gold for a plot than a house already built.

Or just make a mod with your house in it and put it into the game.
