Once the small house is complete, return to the drafting table to plan additional wings, features, and furnishings for your home, such as the Main Hall and various wings like Main Hall, East Wing (Armory, Library), West Wing (Bedrooms), and Basement.
Each additional section to add to your home requires specific materials, so you’ll need to plan your build out in advance.
Basic materials needed for furnishing:
11 Sawn Logs
1 Quarried Stone
9 Iron Ingots
4 Leather Strips
2 Goat Horns
2 Straw
1 Glass
Step 5: Hire a Steward
Once your house is built, you can designate a follower as a steward. They can help manage your property by purchasing materials and furniture for you.
First, you’ll need to choose a follower who is eligible for the role. Most followers in the game can become stewards, but they must be available and willing to take on the responsibility.
Then, you’ll travel with your chosen follower to one of your homes built with the Hearthfire DLC. Once there, engage in conversation with your follower and select the option that asks them to become your steward.
Once appointed, a steward can perform several tasks to help manage and enhance your home:
Purchase Building Materials: Stewards can buy essential materials like sawn logs, quarried stone, and clay, which are necessary for further construction and furnishing.
Order Furnishings: You can instruct your steward to furnish rooms within your house. This includes crafting furniture and decorations that you might not want to build yourself.
Hire Carriages and Bards: Stewards can arrange for a carriage service at your home, allowing fast travel to major cities. They can also hire a bard to provide entertainment.
Purchase Livestock: If you have built an animal pen or stable, your steward can purchase animals such as cows, chickens, and horses for your property.
Manage Apiaries and Gardens: Stewards can help maintain additional features like gardens or apiaries if you’ve built them on your land.
