Can't start hearthfire DLC

[Nunzio]

Hi!, I have the Hearthfire DLC from the legendary edition, and I cannot buy a plot from the designated jarl and the homes do not appear where they should on my map. I don't know if I tried to start this incorrectly or if its a bug in the game, but I would greatly appreciate any help. :)

You either have to Thane or you need Jarl Siddgeir of Falkreath to offer you the land in a letter.

If you're unsure whether the mod's working, go back to Whiterun and look for the beggar girl Lucia. She'll only be there if the DLC is active.

To my memory, the plots of land won't appear on your map until you purchase them. You must indeed achieve Thane status with the relevant Jarls before you can do so.

all you need is a bottle of black-brair mead, go see jarl in falkreath and click on first dialogue, he'll ask for bottle of black-brair, give him your's, this will start the quest to kill a bandit leader-then go jarl, he'll give you right to buy land, go see his female steward and ask about buying house, she'll say no house but tell you about land you can own for 5,000 gold.

This exactly. Lakeview Manor is a great site, and if you build it yourself instead of paying your steward to do it, it'll be less expensive and raise some of your skills at the same time. Not a bad deal, at all. The bandit quest for the land is easy, too.

You have to be level 9 for it to kick in naturally and receive the invite from the Jarl.

Do your research before you start building or you might regret your choices. You know like real life.

This is very important. I wouldn't have bothered wiith the Alchemy Lab if I had remembered about Riverwood in time. *lol* You can add an east, west, and rear wing to your Manor, but only certain things can be built on each side.

Actually you can trigger HEARTHFIRES at level 1, by grabbing the bottle of blacl-brair mead in the bear cave of Helgen and taking it to the jarl of falkreath

I said for it to natuarally occur.

You do NOT have to be the Thane of the hold to purchase/build any of the homes in Heartfire.
You simply have to complete the Jarls quest in each hold to have the right to purchase the houses or land.

It is the Jarl's steward in each hold that has the dialogue for this.

Edit: Nevermind, Just noticed how old this thread is.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
