Fun fact: You can hire the ‘town drunks’ to be your farmhands such as Brenuin from Whiterun and Embry from Riverwood. 👌

Goldenhills plantation is also the most profitable if you plant the right ingredients. Whether you're into alchemy or not, it's just three ingredients so it's simple and levels the skill fast. At max you make about 1500 gold per potion plus however much passive income you're making from the farm (I think mine fully upgraded is about 3-5k every few days). The only time consuming parts are gathering the ingredients, and waiting for them to start generating in bulk. Ingredients are: Scaly pholiota, Mora tapinella, and Creep cluster. After all that, feel free to stomp on Nazeem's ego with how successful your farm is compared to his, or prepare to swim in your gold like Scrooge McDuck.

For the Shadowfoot Sanctum you don't have to exit from anywhere. You can just fast travel from it as if it were outside.

In the dwarven home: in the kitchen, it's not a bath but more like a giant sink. You did miss the baths of the house that even have a sauna where you can turn the steam on and off, which is pretty cool. You missed quite a few secrets of Shadow Sanctum, my favorite home personally... Hendraheim isn't a "boat turned upside down", the mead halls like Jorrvaskr are inspired by Norse architecture, Viking longhouses. Little tip for Myrwatch: if you are tired of the leveled chaurus, note, and bottle respawning every time and are playing on PC, open the console command, click on the corpse/item, and enter "disable", it will prevent it from coming back.

Love this video. My favourite house is Hendrahome because it's compact, beautiful, and has the best lighting in the display area (why are most display rooms so dark??). However, I also make use of Goldenhills, Gallows Hall, and Myrwatch for practical reasons. Goldenhills Plantation: the contents of the house respawn, including food and soul gems. Combined with Gallows Hall, this is a source of infinite black soul gems. If you get this house asap, you have a ridiculous amount of money. Also, a correction. After you finish the quest you can dismiss your steward and reclaim them as a companion if you wish. I typically use Faendal as my steward. Hendraheim: You don't need to wait for the courier. You can just go there and attack her and get the home whenever you want. Myrwatch: the forge in Myrwatch is an "All Forge", which means it's the only forge in the game that can forge anything. This includes Nordic Hero weapons (Skyforge only).

With Hendraheim, you don’t even have to wait for the courier. You can just kill the woman near the home at anytime! 😃

I will say survival mode really colors my opinions on the houses, if I can't get to it quickly I wont use it. Goldenhills is an amazing home for alchemy ingredients but it's far from carriage points or docks so I can't use it on vanilla survival saves.

Tundra Homestead is one of my favorites. It has a garden in the back where you can grow alchemy ingredients and you do not have to buy the house to use the garden.

Really good video! Clearly structured, clean no-frills language. Thanks for this.

Late to the game lol but my favorite is definitely Bloodchill manor. Couple things you didn’t show:( and so sorry if other comments already mentioned this) Also please excuse my spelling mistakes Hendraheim there is an entire smithing area off to the side of the house on the outside. Bloodchill manor- if you leave and come back after the quest is over they removed all the dead bodies, took out the large dinner table in the display room,and instead added mannequins all around which is super nice. They also added mannequins to the master room and kids room. In my opinion this house is the absolute best. I love the ambiance (yes there could be more lighting but like you I walk around with candlelight spell and problem solved), all the many displays throughout etc. A big thing for me is storage near anything I’m crafting/enchanting. I like to separate all my items/ingredients and I love how there are like 3 separate chests and a lockbox right next to the smithing area to organize everything to make it all easier. Same with enchanting room. Also love how they made this home human AND vampire friendly so if you want the vamp experience you can sleep in coffins, and if not there are beds. All in all my top 3 are: (in order) 1. Bloodchill Manor 2. Myrewatch 3. Hendraheim

Honestly man don’t even know how I found you on KZfaq but I just wanna say your content is just so good dude. I’m currently trying to do your god build from a year ago, almost done and by far the most fun play through of Skyrim I’ve seen and done in a while. Keep the S+ Tier content coming !!

As someone who spent a lot of time in dwemer ruins and has the Aetherial Crown, I am getting that dwemmer home.

Love the content brother...as a noob to Skyrim last year you truly helped me... keep up the good work.

The first video I watched from your channel was the best start from new Vegas a year ago loved the in depth of your videos

At first I thought I was having a déjà vu moment lol, glad to know there was more to the houses than meets the eye

Hey, thank you so much for the great video and detail here! I am fairly new to Skyrim SE, and it is blowing my mind so far...such an amazing game! This will definitely help me with housing. I bought Breezehome just to unload stuff and have the Archmage Quarters at the College of Winterhold, but am well equipped with better/more options now. I didn't even know about staff enchanters! Next moves are acquiring Myrwatch. Thanks again!

This was very, very helpful! I had known about some of the home's on the list, but not all that were mentioned! Keep doing what you do!

i love the goldenhills plantation home due to the many plots to grow ingredients which also get auto farmed and placed in the pantry outside the alchemy/enchanting room along with the almost 600 gold per day that can build up, also the food, ingredients inside the house also respawn after x amount of time away from the home (not sure of the fish barrels outside)

little tip any house you can buy from stewards if you're near something you can store something in once you buy it if you're fast enough you can store all your gold and get the place for free you'll just have to pay for any renovations you just have to talk to them when they're right next to it and you can open it before they take the gold

Still need to unlock couple of those. Thanks. They did some beautiful work on these.

Be careful in adopting and making sure the children's room is separate from the master's-it bugged both kids I first tried to Tundra Homestead. Both girls ended up stuck where I asked them about adopting them with their "I need to get my things and I'll meet you there" line the only one that comes out

I love the cat in the background...it just makes you seem more "human" for a lack of better words than some other KZfaqrs who make this kind of content.

What i love about the tundra homestead above all the others is the amount of inventory there is I like to organise my bits next to where theyre needed and it just has the perfect amount. The other homes are missing 1 or 2 chests/sacks/barrels next to where i need them

The cave with the ship is also a bonus home in ES 4 Oblivion. Almost identical setup with a secret door into the bedroom of the regional countess. The staff of worms also comes from ES 4, there it is the staff of Mannimarco, the end boss of the mages guild questline in that game. It has the same design. The dungeon area in the vampire home is also borrowed from ES4 where that is incorporated in the dark brotherhood bonus home. Maybe you could unlock this feature with sombody you have to "recruit" to dwell there, as sort of easy vampire snack. Also perhaps you could get particular stewards for these homes, normal followers do not offer this function.

I am 75 years old and I think I played this game Every Which Way but Loose and I watched you and you are really really good I started playing Xbox before it was Xbox when it was called the web but you impress me

My favorite newbie house is the one that starts off at a fake dinner party for vampires who put on an act of “normal” humans at a regular dinner party until they surround the Dragonborn and attack him. Love that house. That and the one set for a necromancer.

I have not played the anniversary edition yet, but out of the houses that you have shown, I like the vampire house .

Oh wow! So much better homes!!! I really like windheilm home so I’m gonna watch this at work and can’t wait to get them now:)

I love the house in My watch and in the plantation the "farm house" you can add so much to the farm including farmers who place everything from your garden into a cabinet. You make money from the plantation as well

Hendraheim is my favorite as far as looks and displays so that’s where I’ll set up all the unique items. Golden glow farm for utility and Myratch for forging because as someone pointed out it’s the only place to forge certain weapons

The plantation offers the most utility gameplay wise. I can hold all of my pets there, plus Vigilance can be set to guard the farm. If you have adopted, then the children can either find a pet of their own or can adopt a stray the player brings home - reopening the pet slot for a riekling follower or that goblin.

I realy like the dwemer architecture... thats why Markarth next to Riften is my favorite town. But everytime someone does a Dwemer home it comes out to have way to much open empty space in my opinion... :D

Thank you. I like number 1 and the small one near whiterun

Myrwatch definitely fulfills my longing for wanting actually live in a Lighthouse so thats dope

19:06 this 1 I personally like

Thanks for a great vid. You didn't mention what i consider the best part of Goldenhills, the passive income. After spending for the upgrades your Steward will accrue profits from the farm. If you plant only Blisterwort you can expect about 6k per week. You collect it from the Steward whenever you visit. You'll recover the upgrade costs in less than 2 weeks. p.s. The cat's not gonna listen anyway, they do what they want. If they added cats to Skyrim they'd probably just wander off.

I own every home in skyrim se I have house Carl's in the city homes and Lydia is one of them and she is also my follower if I ask , the hearthfire homes all have house Carl's, stewards , and bards , when I'm out saving the world I come home to a full house two are sleeping the bard is using my stuff or eating, they never sleep , I can also use the house Carl's or stewards as followers, right now serana is follower at the moment, skyrim is still fun and I've been playing it since 2011

My thing about a home is that I don't feel like running around to much for access. That's why I tend not to like the big homes with all the halls and levels. IRL I prefer ranchers (as do most according to price tags) because having to run up and down stairs is the worst. It's kind of like the minecraft mentallity too where you start thinking....what's the point of building some huge lavish house and making decor like tables and chairs. You're not going to sit in them. You're not going to actually eat dinner at the table lol. So you come to an understanding that video game homes are mostly used as a storage area. You want ease of access. IMO. For that reason I'd go with the Hendrahiem home (companions upside down boat style) Half the other ones have horrible lighting btw. The only reason I'd ever pick a different one is if I'm in the mood to Roleplay and match the home to the character build. So if I were to make a mage, I would do the tower. etc... I know this is probably an unpopular opinion but I kind of enjoy the home you can buy in Windhelm. It's just nice and cozy and interesting. Sometimes you're just content to play the game and shove all your goodies in a chest to get on with it vs all of the displaying.

Thanks a lot, I ve been stuck on the Undeath quest!

Honestly as cool of an idea as the pirate ship home is. It’s way too dark. Takes 3 loading screens to get too. And all the displayed items get thrown all over the place when the ghosts spawn. So if you wanna use it as a player home it’ll take forever to look presentable. Easily the worst player home. Gallows hall would also seemingly have this issue given the items flying about the room. But it’s only like 3 items so it’s pretty easy to clean up.

Hendraheim is the house i go for every character i play regardless of roleplay. Its just such a cozy house and i love its interior design. Plus having enchant and alchemy tables inside as well as full smith setup outside is perfect. Also the number of plaques for weapons and mannequins is just amazing honestly. Easily the best creation club house imo

Hey man! Love your content I’ve spent hours trying different builds etc. will you ever consider a survival mode guide with zero cheats/boosts?

When you laugh at your own jokes, it genuinely makes for great content!

Bro thanks so much I’m 25 been playing Skyrim literally since I was 13-14 and it blows my mind how there’s always new discoveries big and small about this game even today now I have a new house to claim 😂

Great video man good to hear your voice

My favorite is bloodchill manor, it's a bit more spacious than the tower (which is my second favorite). My least favorite is probably the pirate ship, too much space and not enough of it is useful.

Wonderful, many thanks.

I thought it was just one house but now there’s 4 to choose from/get amazing man

My favorites are the plantation and the warrior themed one. I just wish there was more. I want there to be a castle or big mansion that is themed like the solitude house and has more than 2 cjjld beds. I have a multiple adoption mod and i have 2 sons and a daughter. Its kinda awkward that one doesn't have a bed lol

Designer of tundra homestead and hendraheim: we have room for alchemy table, enchanter, crazy display and all those fancy stuff. But you need to share a room with your kids though.

I have like 5 or 6 if these homes but still I always only use Tundra Homestead. The location an how everything's all right close by makes it the perfect adventuring house. Pluse it cost just as much as Breeze Home fully upgraded so it's not crazy expensive like the houses in Markarth an Solitude. All of these render the Hearthfire homes pointless.

I never use the bug jar style storages because the items NEVER stay in place. It always somehow winds up at the main door. (They really needed to turn off physics for these displays).

Really hoping in a few months I can get a copy of the Anniversary Edition. I’ll bet it’s pretty cool.

I think if the game allows you to hire or command a crew of your own recruitment to actualy be hands for the ship and occupy and do menial jobs, that would be cool, but of course I'm sure we'd all love to sail too lol

You can use your follower again when your plantation is complete.

Goldenhills is such a great money maker; once you plant your crops, just come back every couple of days and you can get thousands of gold, as well as your spouses shop gold. I’ve had that house for maybe an in-game month, and I’ve made enough to purchase Proudspire from just the plantation and spouse shop gold alone.

My favourite house is Goldenhills Plantation for its money making and Alchemy abilities, but man I can't wait to get my dragon flying license with Bend Will because in Survival Mode it's such a time dump to get there.

My fav home in creation club was myrwatch and hendraheim but without AE its Hjerim, Dawnstar Santuatary, and Sevrin Manor.

Personally i like the Tunda home the best. Plus there is a separate mod that allows you to make it bigger, with a 2nd floor and expanded living space with so many rooms. Plus the basement is also expanded with plenty of displays for armor, weaps, etc. And it also adds a 2nd home next to the main home for followers. Only thing missing i believe is Staff Enchanter. But i just added this mod, and haven't explored everything yet. So it might have Staff Enchanter as well.

Well, as a survival player you need to change the list drastically, the tundra homestead and dead man's dread go to the bottom of the list and shadow foot sanctum and myrwatch are at the top because fast travel is disabled

I just started playing, spent 5k on breeze and after that got tundra, lemme just say tundra is incredible for how small and compact it is, its got nearly everything u need while feeling comfy af

Illia is the only follower I've never been able to have as a follower again once making her a steward. But her character was flawed like that since skyrim came out with this bug even after dismissed. Mod I use works around the bug though.

I was surprised how much I loves blood Hill manor. not really into playing ad a vampire but it's great to role play as a van helsing type vampire hunter that took over a ex vampire castle.

“cats, am i right?” Couldn’t stop laughing for a good 5 minutes

Hendraheim, Myrwatch, and golden plantaion are my top 3 creation club homes but I get ever single one so have mutiple rest stops to unload if uncumbered with all inventory maxed comanpions

Dead Man's Dread is the one piece of CC content I regret buying; it's one redeeming quality is the tribute to Cyrus from The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard (Howard's first TES game, if I remember correctly). As a home it's inconvenient, and Dunbarrow Cove from Oblivion did the whole 'clear out skeletons from a pirate ship in a cave' already and did it better; Dunbarrow Cove had multiple trainers, spell merchants, a training chest for the security skill, and wasn't too big or smalI, and you could send your pirate crew put to plunder. DM'sD feels empty by comparison.

Great video, just wish they would let us disable Creation Club on console so we can pick and choose what we like most.

the one problem I had with the otherwise beautiful Tundra Homestead is that if you put armor on the downstairs manikens, they would initially show that they are wearing the armor, but if you went back upstairs and back downstairs again, the manniken would not be wearing the armor you just gave it. It would still have the armor, but it would not be worn.

My favorite house is also the wizard tower.

Hi m8 it's Matt I spoke last week , just little question but any tips where to find muffled enchanted boots to deconstruct , thanks keep on rocking 🤠⚔️

The thief house, Vampire mansion and the mage tower are the coolest

These are very good

bringing back smoke and bitches is worth getting demonetized for

Ayo your khajit companion is mad af at the end of the video

Oh wow! Who else just found out they don't have to go thru the ratway or back into the guilds location just to get out an can go under water to go back inside!😂🤣. Glad I'm watching this cause there's so much I didn't know

Tundra Homestead is my favorite house.

I still prefer the Hearthfire homes over all of the others and I hope they make more in ES6

A little late but i think shadowfoot is the best for survival because its at a major city so you can take a carriage to riften and easily access the house from the secret entrance in the water in less than 10 seconds

I agree with you, the last one is the best of all of them. Is there a Assassin themed one or are these all the creation club ones?

Bloodchill has the most mannequins I think. You don't see them in the video because I believe after you fight the vampires and get the house, you need to leave the cave then come back. The dinner table up top in the display room will be gone and there will be a ton of mannequins up there.

Making the Pirate Ship the worst home is an epic fail imho. I wasn't actually sure which one I liked the most until you showed the last. Mages Tower, awesome

Again no that isn't it for Dead Man's Dread. You again missed the ship's map, so I'm Just gonna explain what it does. The map in the map room enables you to fast travel to any dock on the coast you have been to, including Raven Rock.

My character is a rich noordic thief and gang leader i have several followers st all times and a big psrt of my character and being rich is real estate i love own in lotss of property. I would like the ship one more uf you could use it to fast travel. Missed opportunity

All houses and decorations are free if you can quickly place the Gold in a draw or cupboard ect...As long as you put all of your Gold in one of those stashes I've mentioned before he finishes his speech after you accept. Rinse and repeat for your decorations. It's an idea to make sure your stood next to a d facing one of those stashes. Just quick save before you start incase you miss time it and that can be easily done if you have never tried it before. ;-)

im gonna start duping my paragons, claws, masks, jars and uniques so i can fill out all my homes

Myrwatch will always take the sweetroll

As a disgusting Skyrim/Fallout 4 survival mode goblin, I sometimes I am locked out of content due to bugs, so getting all these new buildings to use after getting permanently locked out of my houses/areas makes me happy Edit: I love how he just didn't care about getting the staff if worms. A free dead thrall at level 1 will change these silly challenge runs forever

Shadowfoot Sanctum: A home for bald daedra's servant. It make your another way to thieve guild. Tundra Homestead: A base between Whiterun and Heljarchen Hall. Dead Man's Dread: Little meanless ship house Gallows Hall: Grab the treasure in here and can be forgotten. Farm House: Farming house, yet I still can't find a fine comrade for rule this place. (Update: a very good place for harvest milk and butter) Nchuanthumz: I had terrible experience by dragon appear inside the entrance, and that is meanless go to here. Hendraheim: A house between reach and falkreath. Bloodchill Manor: Armor display museum. Myrwatch: True hjaalmarch home.

Myrwatch and goldenhills are my top 2

Some of these places I like, but if I had the chance to build my own house, my own settlement than I would take that over a already built home that should one else has already made, thank god that Fallout 4 had settlement build in it, because I loved that and here is hoping Elder Scrolls 6 has settlement build in it also.

Unfortunately the player home I suggest is a mod. It is called "Storm Watch Castle" its fantastic. I wished it was a non-mod/vanilla because it is huge and has alot of manquins

I have Myrwatch and #3 already..going for Bloodchill Manor next..and I think I have one other one also

Goldehills is extremly glitchy but its a must for every playthough for passive income.

The house that I actually live is the house from the DLC, but the only thing I do not like very much is that that house does not have many manequins and places to put your dragon priests masks

I just got the anniversary edition. Also I don't think that the upside down boat was inspired by the companions building, think it was a quest for the mead hall.

My favorite house is Bloodchill Manor. I am just in love with that house. Now the reason Bloodchill Manor is my favorite home, it is hidden, not out in the open and not only that no one knows about the home instead of that one dawnguard who was drunk so probably not really going to remember or bother the character at all. The other's homes no, just no. First off there is a civil war going on, so I'd rather not be near that at all. Or even close to it. That is indeed a death sentence to me in the cities. Not another home, the one near a mage Toward and the forsawn, hell no. You never know they might decide to attack, not only that there literally is a bear right down from the tree. The one near Moral, sure is great and everything for a mage but not really. A vampire was easily able to trick everyone. Even after dealing with the threatened me not to think being near that place is smart. Seeing how easily vampires were able to live close there, probably feeding on people while they sleep. The pirate ship house, is good but it would have been better if you could actually go sailing the sea and actually get crew members which you can't so it is a no go to me. Now for the necromancer house, I do like it but the only problem is, no. The house had the owner's soul there, if my character dies nope I don't want their soul being trapped in there and not only that it is kinda creepy with the dead bodies, (I am a black woman and black people don't do that.) So I will complete the quest but never live there. Now for the Dwarves house even after fixing it and everything. We all know bandits love attacking that place and getting rid of the machines and some bandits might still be able to do it. It is a nice house with lots of rooms and space but no, it is not for me because there is too much space for anything or anyone to hide. So the house that is the winner for me is Bloodchill Manor because really no one would probably dare come to it, but then again there is a bandits camp right down it if anyone is a vampire and needs to feed real quickly and they don't come near the house either so therefore that house is a winner to me. But that is just my opinion and why I won't go to other houses. I am not saying Skyrim players shouldn't. I say, what ever works for Skyrim players do it. But personally I won't never live or storage anything in all those houses instead of Bloodchill Manor. But that's just my opinion I kinda wonder what new house gets used the most though.

Least favorite -- Falkreath home. Trophy room is totally lame, and the Armory weapon racks are bugged -- you can place weapons in them, but can't remove them.

Subbed for the cat lol

I like hendraheim but it’s located on worst area. I would like if it just located like Norse ways close to waters like close to city of dawnstar. Dawn star is very Norse-like. Traditional ways of using boats and ships and you row into waters for raiding and plundering. Come home and sing a song of battles. So what I’m saying is Hemdraheim is very Norse longhouse and should be close to waters or somewhere else that are very Norse-Viking ways. Your opinion???

Bloodchill manor is my #1
