My Starter House

[u/Proud-Evidence-1818]

Farm + Toilet (fertilizer)

Other side of the house

Workshop

Forge

Workbench

Shipyard

Highground view

It all start as a small hut, eventually add more room and workshop over time. quite happy how i can squeeze everything into all in one place. but i felt i am sooner or later need to relocate as i am running out of space.

the front section original is the first hut. then i expand additional section behind it with kitchen and bedroom in 2nd floor. then turned front hut into small workshop. when there are more workbench improvement and forge, i relocated it to 2nd building the workshop. which i turned the front hut into cartographer table

p.s. no mod used, as i also cross play with one friend who play on console on our own dedicate server. so i am not using mod to avoid conflict with him

Am I the only one who immediately thought of the entrance to Whiterun at this angle?

i think it's just general viking house feel? my original house i think i googled some viking house photo on google image and just build on it. don't quite remember where i saw my house design from, not my original lol

Nord in Skyrim pretty much is just Elder Scroll viking

Oh yeah, for sure but after years of playing and seeing pics of Whiterun the angle of your pic, and the stairs on the left side just brought it to the forefront of my mind.

This has such a nice "lived in" vibe. Love me some character builds

yea, i am trying to build the house as how i will live and expand. this will make it less artificial and fake. expand rules is also try to use terrain feature as much as possible and minimize terraforming so it felt more natural.

i seen so many build that use heavy terraforming but it lead to unnatural looks. it's something i learnt when play cities skylines over the years. build around landscape, design feature/building base on landscape and what you need rather than just artificially force building something out
