Recommended Posts

Note: I'd like to thank FXH Reaper for his work here, but his guide wasn't really up to the site's standards as far as formatting and depth of detail, as well as lack of a road map. His FAQ has some nice extra info in it though, so definitely check that out.

 

 

-Estimated achievement difficulty: 2/10

-Offline: 5 (50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg)

-Approximate amount of time to 50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg: 2-4 hours

(depending on your bank account/glitches/standing with Jarls)

-Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1

-Number of missable achievements: None

-Do cheat codes disable achievements? No cheats

-Does difficulty affect achievements? No

-Glitchy achievements: Land Baron

-Unobtainable achievements? None

 

Hearthfire is available from the marketplace for 400MSP. The DLC focuses on the deep role play of building a home with a wife and children in the world of Skyrim. There isn't really any story or fighting, so this DLC may not be for everyone. However, it is a rather quick and easy 50 Gamerscore provided you have a small bank roll available. If you have a bunch of money and don't run into any of the glitches that may prevent you from buying the plots, this should only take you a few hours.

 

For more information on this DLC, see here.

Adopt a child

 

Upon downloading the DLC, a courier will arrive while you are inside a city and deliver you two letters: one advertising the Honorhall Orphanage in Riften and the other informing you that you can now build a children's bedroom to accommodate the child.

 

Before even bothering to head to Riften, make sure you own a home and have built the children's bedroom. If you're adding it to an existing home (pre-DLC) it will replace your alchemical lab and cost 250 Gold (except in Windhelm and Solitude, which will not overwrite the lab but costs 3000 Gold). Otherwise, you'll need to manually put in a child's bed and child's chest at any of the DLC homes.

 

Now that you have your house and children's room, visit the orphanage and tell Constance Michel that you'd like to adopt. She'll ask you to pick a home (probably only one choice unless you build multiple children's rooms in multiple homes) as well as a child, so talk to one you like afterward and the achievement will unlock when you accept them.

 

A full list of adoptable children can be found here. Note that you do not have to have your wife at the home or even be married to do this!

Buy a plot of land

 

See "Land Baron" for more info.

Build three wings on a house

 

See "Master Architect" for more info.

Buy three plots of land

 

There are three new plots available in this DLC at Dawnstar, Falkreath and Morthal. To puchase the lots, you need to be in good standing with the Jarl of each city (which may require completing quests) and pay 5000 Gold.

 

The plot of land in Farkreath seems to have the most issues that may arise and prevent the ability to buy the plot. The most common fix is to complete the pending quests listed here to receive the radiant quests that will then put you in good standing with the Jarl. Further troubleshooting can be found here if this does not work for you.

Build three houses

 

To satisfy this and Architect, you will need to fully build on all three available plots of land (so get "Land Baron" unlocked first). This will include the three available wing additions to the houses. To most quickly do this, make sure you have a steward at the house (list) and a sizable bank account to purchase materials. You'll want to buy out blacksmiths of their Iron and Corundum ingots, and then order plenty of stone and wood from your steward. Use the anvil to create a large supply of locks, nails, hinges and iron fittings as well.

 

Once you've got a large supply of materials, use the drafting table near your home to setup the outline. Then step over to the carpenter's workbench to begin building up the structure. Once you have the house built, you can add the main hall in the same fashion and convert the small house into an entryway. Then you'll choose one wing at a time from each section (north, west and east) and build them up in the same fashion as well. Once all three homes have been built up completely with three wings the achievement will unlock.

 

If at any time you run out of materials, simply order more from your steward or fast travel to a town for more ingots and create the needed materials from the anvil again.

Nice job! This was my first attempt at getting one out that is in text, I mostly put it together to answer questions. I didn't see the requirements for one on here till last night so... yea. By comparison I knew someone else had to have one cooking somewhere.

 

To cut down on clutter just grab everything not already covered and add it here :)

for the build three houses can you just build a small house on each or do you have to build 3 houses with 3 wings each?

For Proud Parent, if you own a home in Whiterun already, just speak to the steward to purchase the child's bedroom and furnishings. As you head back towards Breezehome, Lucia will be sitting on a bench by the Gildergreen. Talk to her, and you can adopt her right there before even going to the orphanage in Riften and get the achievement. You should still go to Riften to update the quest, however.

That isn't correct. I completed the innocence lost quest just earlier today and earned the adoption achievement weeks ago. The only thing necessary is to kill Grelod the Kind, something you can do even before that quest. Sit her throat. Install Heartfire. Get a house with a child's bed... viola.

A little tip for those who are building Lakeview Manor: Most of your supplies can be purchased/found in Riverwood. :dance:

 

- Straw can be purchased at the Riverwood Trader

- Wood can be purchased at the Sawmill; 20 logs for 200g

- All metals can be purchased and crafted at the Blacksmith

 

Quarried Stone and Clay can be mined just outside of Lakeview Manor. The clay is next to the stable, and the quarried stone is on the left of the smelter. :woop:
