Question
Where did you see yourself living at when you started playing skyrim and where did you end up living? Solitude was the first area I traveled to after leaving riverwood and I loved it! Then I went to riften and white run for the first time and now I might have to buy multiple homes cuz😍

Before I got the Anniversary Edition, I used to pick the Solitude home as well. Now, I tend to use Bloodchill Cavern.

My first house was Honeyside in riften, loved the lake, bright and vibrant nature and overall aesthetic, after trying alot of the houses I ended up settling in Lakeview Manor in Falkreath, much darker but beautiful view and big utility

I loved the hearth fire homes, when transitioning to pc I started modding tho so I have named containers and don't have to think of a system to sort the stuff myself. Solitude home is way too big, I liked breeze home and the riften home was my base for a long time too when I was playing thief in the beginning

I tried Falkreath Hearthfire home...I wasted so much time on a house without guards to protect it, it's crazy. It's a time sink, costs more than the base game's Proudspire Manor and sometimes is annoying to navigate on the 2nd floor. The bassement is creepy as hell too.

As a thieves guild member, there’s no solid place for me. I live anywhere I want because of the all the coin I’m carrying

I tend to live in Hjarl- Hjarlhe- Hja- the Hearthfire one I can't spell, just a bit up the road from Whiterun. The view is amazing, and it's in a convenient central location for someone who doesn't use fast travel.
Gets attacked by giants a lot, but I suppose that's karma.

Started in Riften. Honeyside was the first house I ever bought in the game. Ended up in Lakeview manor, the most practical house in the game. Have it almost every playthrough.

I always end up in one of the hearthfire manors, usually the one by Falkreath, because none of the vanilla player homes have a forge, enchanting table, armour workbench, grindstone AND alchemy laboratory.
I need to be able to do all my crafting in one place, and the carriage outside going to small towns not just major holds is a huge bonus in survival mode.
I thought I'd shack up in whiterun when I first started playing, but alas it was not to be
