I've got all 3rd party (not Bethesda) HD textures, mesh improvements, better distance drawing, improved weather, light, environment mods. 122 in total now with no conflicts. Including more NPCs on the road and in taverns (Lively Inns and Taverns mod) as well as Unique Taverns that changes all of the vanilla style taverns. Water, grass, trees, rocks all changed, brawl plugin for better fights, follower tweaks, lanterns on the roads, mod to leave footprints in the snow (human & animal), weapon updates and armour updates.

And I was always adding and removing 3rd party homes/castles to live until I installed Hearthfire as the houses gave the most conflicts but ever since I discovered Bert's Breezehome remodel I have been using that and removed all new buildings (except Hearthfire created ones).

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/8922 - great update, more space, has a model of the original Breezehome on a desk that you can enter and still use. It has working light, it's bright in the day, get's darker inside at night (you can turn lights on) working sorters, even a working toilet and shower. It also has a portal to extra rooms, a library, weapons store, underground garden and more including Dave a pet Dragon. It's the best one I've installed. Oh almost forgot the games room where you can play 10 pin bowling there's even a working pool table. smile


It's made it a different game since I first got it and makes it last longer, longer interest.
Will Dave be flyable once the new DLC is out? The thought of Skyrim pool is just too funny as well...

No Dave is dog sized and just shuffles around sitting in front of the fire to get warm, then sits by the door if he gets too hot.

Ah, so he's a remodeled dog then... Still pretty cool though.

Hmm so I got Hearthfire and proceeded to make my little house, however, I made a door (as you do) and went in the house to check, when I came back out to the workbench, I have to make another door..? I can only see 1 entrance/exit and it already has a bloody door on it..!

Any ideas before I reload an old save.

They present that TV show 'Cowboy Builders' - (Sorry, useless comment I know)

When you go into your house, does it load up first (i.e is there a load screen)?

Looking at getting Hearthfire. Is it worth it? Does it add anything other than house building?

Ok, I've been waiting for the dawnguard expansion to come out for ps3, happened to be passing a game store the other day and went in to ask. So i'm told the ps3 expansion isn't coming out now but will be included in a skyrim game of the year relaunch.

Now i read above about the Dragonborn expansion and read on the link its the third dlc eek

So, can anyone tell me wtf is happening? How many expansions are there and is there any hope for me & my ps3? cry

Thanks for the reply mate, I knew nothing about Hearthfire.

I really need these add ons......

So anyone know what the situation is with ps3? Do we presume we'll get them eventually or ask santa for an xbox? tongue out

XBOX for certain, it probably won't come to PS3, PC probably January.

Just been googling the whole ps3 skyrim issue.

Most of the gamer sites / mags are saying they are 'working' on it and the dlc should be released soon on ps3.

Seems to be some doubt about exactly when soon might be tho.....

Looks like we ps3 owners are just getting shafted again. mad

For those playing Dawnguard.

I am currently going through that again with a different character and this time found the temples in the vale in the right order biggrin and consequently discovered the big frozen lake with the word wall and the two Dragons attacking me. One of them flew over and dived down and straight through the ice breaking a huge hole in it then bursting back out. Impressive. Anyone else had that?

Nope, started a new character for dawnguard and hadn't progressed the main story far enough for the dragons to spawn. Annoying. Will be playing through again as a vamp soon though.

It's here Near one of the Temples in the vale behind a big mound facing the lake, need to go past the temple, down the opposite way to which you approach it, through an arch onto the ice lake and turn left. Can't remember if it's 3rd or 4th temple you find, in order, think it's the 4th one.
