Put that in spoilers, please. It saves room.

anyone know what, if anything, the apiary does? It comes with 5 bees and one honey. I've tried adding flowers, removing bees, removing honey, nothing changes. Even just for RPing, that's pretty dull.

I can't figure out what the fish hatchery in the Hjaalmarch house does either.

you can put the fish you get as alchemy and slaughterfish eggs in it. They do reproduce, not that it matters much though.

Does anyone know how to purchase animals such as cows for my animal pen in the pale. Also I'm curious if you ask Carlotta Valentia to marry you, do you automatically adopt her daughter?

Also is anyone else kinda sad that they don't let you adopt non human children. I would have loved to adopt a lil argonian or khajiit. or even an elf. Right now I am an Argonian married to a nord with two nord children.

[Stormborn]

your steward supplies animals via the improve your home dialogue. You can buy 1 horse for the stable, 1 cow and 4 chickens. I don'tunderstand why are there no pigs in Skyrim?

[D0VAHK11N]

Probably because when the nords learned how to make bacon they went on a feeding frenzy making pigs extinct in skyrim. :p

[HenvoBrii]

I hate being a single mother on one of my files. Also one of my kids Alesan is glitche to where I cannot give him any gifts, which I feel bad about since I always give Sofie a new dress or a dagger.

I read a comment on a game blog site that said "Hearthfire is so bugged that it makes Skyrim unplayable."

I wasn't entirely kidding in the What could come after Hearthfire thread when I said "patches".

I don't know what people mean when they say things like this. Similar things were said about Dawnguard, I have both the DLC and have been happily playing regularly the whole time.

Are some people just hypersensitive to the slightest imperfection or what?

[born2beagator]

Why can't I get Alesan to move into my house?

I adopt him and he just forever stands in one place saying "let me get my things and say goodbye to everyone"

[Nevastar]

You have to return to your house and he'll be there.

[born2beagator]

Nope, he won't. I returned to my house, he wasn't there. So I waited 24 hours, he didn't show up. I went back to dawnstar, and sure enough, he hadn't moved

sadily its like this, some pepole dont get a the glitch, if they dont get this one, they dont get this one either, or that one, or etc
but if you DO get one you tend to get a hundred more, most of them have goten EVREY bug ervrey time and then think that its always like that, just like you thinking its never like that.

[Redguard_Master]

I'd like the ability to change the rooms once you made them and furnished them. I wanna see what storage room looks like. Oh and yeah this thing is so glitched.

Yeah I know what you mean, the only major glitch that I've had is the really long loading screen

Spoiler:

When entering the Night Mother's Coffin during the DB questline.

but that just seems to be a common problem. I myself have had no real game-breaking glitches with Dawnguard, Hearthfire or Skyrim in general.

[Ripcage]

Did anyone get the Red Robes from thier kids yet? I have and I thought it was awesome that Hroar gave me something worthy of my attention, instead of giving me something useless like I expected he would.

Sofie or Runa gave me green but yeah i was pretty excited about that and i'm not even a mage, so I made my own mini college at Windstad in case they decide to take up the magic arts.

Ri'Zahr is jealous, he didn't know he could get green! Now I wonder if Hroar will give me some more gifts though. He has to be spending that 35 gold somewhere...

You have to give them 1000 next time they ask.

[Duderino Abides]

I scolded Runa and Alesan for arguing now they're acting like I beat them and their mother or something. They won't talk!

[born2beagator]

At least you got Alesan to move to your house. For some reason he won't leave dawnstar for me

It's hardly a slight imperfection in this case, if this person is to be believed. According to what he/she posted, Breezehome was the only owned home when Hearthfire was installed. Immediately after that, Breezehome bugged out. A bunch of stuff, including unique in-game items, disappeared from various storage containers. I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else, and it might be possible that Hearthfire isn't to blame in this case. But you have to admit that it's turning out to be a five-star bug fest.

[Imperfect Three]

So if you give your kids gifts they'll give you the cool coloured robes that are only available through the console? AMAZING I've always wanted those for myself, time to adopt some kids and give them 1000 gold allowances. If they bring me those robes they will be rewarded well. I didn't realize that they did anything useful, oh Bethesda you sneaky SOBs...

I give it 4 stars... 5 stars is when the house of horrors happens like Oblivion, someone died in a doorway and they became a possessed Mr Fantastic banging their flailing 20ft arms and necks around and knocking down everything. You move and you game doesnt crash, your existence in the game causes the physics to break down. Dead dragons fly backwards and are invincible.

4 stars is a hole in the game that crashes it. Or a freeze.

3- A hole in a loading zone that you walk through and you teleport to the beginning. A dragon "crashes" and teleports to a different crash site.

2- Voices and lips dont move together. People walk backwards. Excessive loading, pausing, loading. A cutscene event has a small error.

1- A giant falls awkwardly from the ragdoll effect. Butterflies phase through eachother and the environment.

0- A known omitting of real life physics- no footprints, snow doesnt accumulate, weather phases through solid objects.
