Helpful Tip: If you don’t own any of the Skyrim DLC addons, you may want to consider simply purchasing the Skyrim Legendary Edition as explained in our Skyrim Fansite video.
The expansion costs $4.99 and is available for download here: If not, you’ll need to download Hearthfire if you haven’t already done so. If you’re rocking the Skyrim Legendary Edition, all DLC addons are included and you’re good to go. Hearthfire was released in September 2012, and is the second of three DLC addons available for Skyrim. In order to build a house in Skyrim you first need to have the Hearthfire game expansion. Want to get started? Hang tight as we walk you through the entire house building process in 5 easy steps. With the release of the Hearthfire addon, gamers everywhere can build a house in Skyrim. Sure, you can buy a cozy house in many fine cities across Skyrim (Whiterun and Riften to name a few - just avoid Windhelm as explained in our Why I’ll Never Move to Windhelm article), but why buy a house when you can build one of your very own. Well fellow traveller, if you’re tired of not having a place to retreat to after a hard day fighting bandits and exploring damp dungeons it’s time to seriously consider taking the leap into home ownership. So, you’re getting fed up having to haul all your gear and loot across the wilds of Skyrim and sleeping in the dingy back room of the Sleeping Giant Inn.
