Hearthfire dlc, Storage or trophy room?

[RandomGuy(2)]

I built my house in Lakeview manor and I really can't decide? which is better. If I go with storage room I get this really cool balcony with a nice view of the lake even though I already built a bedroom which already does come with a balcony but a bad view. And If I go with trophy room it just looks really cool to have decoration in your house. Please give me a straight answer of which is better.

Also If you guys don't mind also give me some ideas on which wing is better to buid for a perfect home. Right now I have a Kitchen, a bedroom and still need an answer for the north wing. but I still could change them by going back to my previous save.

Depends on your character, really. If you're looking for a view, though, the tower has the best, IMO.

I'd say trophy room only cause of the way Skyrim storage works.

Storage in Skyrim is unlimited in any container. So while it may make more sense in the real world to have a room for storage, in Skyrim one barrel or chest can do it all for you.

The only reason I keep items in different barrels is to sort them. So that could be a reason to go with the storage room. If you want to have things sorted better, than the storage room may work for you.

Trophy room looks better, there are plenty of containers around.

yes and no, put too much in a single container and the game will slow to crawl when you open it. I decided to put everything in player chest in Breezehome and everytime I open it i'm watching a slide show. Better to spread it over more than one container.

I usually go with armory, storage, bedroom for Lakeview.

All towers at Winstead Manor.

The rest at Heljarken hall. Or however its spelled.)

you can also build 3 different manors. All are same style, so you can build one with storage, and other with an alchemy-tower, and the third with the trophy one.

Hearthfires extended lets you add alcoves to the basement, and a "portable" workbench which lets you change / add furniture where you want ... a bit of work and a little getting used too, but a nice addition to the heathfires dlc
