Thanks to Skyrim content creators, I now know not only the unemployment rate in each city, but also how to economically find a residence. I think I know more about Skyrim economics than I do in real life. Thanks, UA-cam!
Doing my first survival mode playthrough. While I've gotten used to no fast travel, I am NOT walking to any of the custom houses any time I wanna dump my inventory. If I had the option to build one of these right outside a hold capital it'd be a no brainer, but instead I just buy a house in every city when I can afford it.
Super interesting point of view. I’ve never played Skyrim in survival but the “buyable” houses seem like a pro for this type of play-through. Thanks for the insight.
no the hearthfire houses are the move in survival, the one by falkreath is a short walk from there and you get a free carriage to go anywhere from your house. you also get the garden and greenhouse for alchemy and food, free shrines for curing diseases, and just an overall goated house.
Custom house is a must for any playthrough, especially survival. Location is not as big of an issue as you suggest. The Falkreath house especially is a stonethrow away from the town. Also you can hire a carriage driver for the house who effectively acts as a fast travel mechanism to several locations, some of whitch aren't available to regular carriages from the major towns. Besides that, the custom house has the garden which is a must have to obtain ingredients for your alchemy training. This garden isn't available in the vanilla houses
I feel like severin manor should have gotten a mention given that it is completely free and if we are allowing hearthfire there really isn't any reason not to allow dragonborn also.
It's my second favorite house after Morthal's. It has everything you need except for a perma corpse to store all your worldly possessions. I wonder if there's a mod for that 😮😮
@guluk1926 lol, it was a joke. In Morrowind one of the best houses you can squat in has the body of its former owner that never despawned. Making it perfect for storing all my crap 🙂 It would have been a cute mod to have the Morrowind style house have that same unique feature. Sorry for any confusion 😊

If you avoid mining the last ore vein it only takes 10 days to respawn. Also if you pull your wait or sleep slider from 24 to 1 as you press enter you will pass the time in about 2 seconds instead of waiting normally
Imp stool and canis root are better for a single effect potion. I think it's the best you can make with farmable plants, though someone else would probably say that there's some large amount of an ingredient somewhere else that makes higher selling potions
5:48 Interestingly, according to the wiki of Creation Kit, 128 units in game is 6 feet. So examining the actual mesh files shows that the flat room has a floor area of 24x48=1152 sqft and the sloped roof room is 18x60=720 sqft. In fact, each tile of the flooring is exactly 256 units x 256 units (12x12 sqft).
One issue I have with your measuring system is that certain races have different walk speeds to reflect different heights. So more specifically you are using ARGONIAN ssqft or asqft for argonian square feet.
It would matter if different races were used for different houses. Since only argonian was used, ee can compare. Using other races could make the numbers different, but not the end result for which one is the biggest etc
After seeing someone complain about the almost 20,000 they spent on a build it home, I decided to to see if it could be done for only the cost of the land, which is 5,000. Skip to the end, and yes it can. You do need a lot of sweat equity though. A couple of rules, I couldn't use any money generated by using the smithing, enchanting or alchemy stations, and of course, and the house had to include the three most expensive wings, bedroom, storage room, and armory. Also had to have all the outside stuff. However, I did allow the house to generate it's own money, by growing and selling blisterwort in the garden, and selling mined quarry stone. It was a lot of fun.
I hope to have all useful stations such as workbench, grindstone, smelter, tanning rack, alchemy table, and enchanting table in one area. Then I'd like it to be near a city's stores if possible so none of the man made ones fit that bill. Breezehome in Whiterun is basically the closest you'll get to this specification. While the smithing stuff is a walk away it's literally in the blacksmith store so that works just fine.
Bruh who are these people commenting? 😂 “I’ll play how I want! Screw you!” “Mods are better”-not the point-“don’t care, mods are better” Like wtf bruh 😂 people need to fkn relax fr
A really interesting video, made me think of some real life comparisons, down below if any are curious :) Now if you were to value Proudspire manor to a real life value, one could estimate that a reasonably pure gold coin weighs 30 grams, a gram of gold roughly 75€ for a coin value of roughly 2250€, multiply by 39000 and Proudspire manor costs approximately 87,750,000€ for estimate square ft of 1046 of 97m2 (Not exactly manor size, but a luxury loft appartment perhaps?) I wondered how does that price compare to luxury real estate in our world. In our world 87 million euros would get you more, for example a luxury apartment with 412m2 would cost you 80 million € in Hong Kong, supposedly one of the more pricier places in the world (Did not find good estimates for Manhattan, some examples might be more costly there) But what if we look at minimum wages and buying power? A minimum wage worker in skyrim (Argonian underpaid dock worker) makes 8 septims a day which would roughly translate 18 000€, but let's disregard that and instead say that Argonian is able to save up 10% monthly for a total of 16 gold per month (assuming they work 21 days a month and rounded down), in that case they would be able to save up neccessary fund to buy Proudspire manor in (39000/16)/12=203.125 203 years, maybe not doable by Argonian but a Dumner minimum wage worker could essentially save up through-out much of his life and buy luxury estate in his old age and trickle down that wealth to generations to come, and something like Hjerim or built house out of the city would be easier. In our world minimum wage worker in Hong Kong makes 40 HK an hour which is 4.70€ which translates to 790€ per month if working 8 hours a day 21 per month (roughly, not calculating any extra fees, vacation time, or any deductible tax), now that worker putting aside let's say 80€ per month (for simplicity sake) would be able to buy 80 million luxury apartment in only 1 million years Skyrim economics might be wack but they are definitely more friendly in real estate value than our world is. As is difference between classes, Skyrim rich vs poor difference is probably even less in many ways that our world lower middle class vs upper middle class
Major issue you didn't consider. The bugged nature of each location. Windhelms House is by far the worst offender, even with official and unofficial patches. Items don't stay in place, often jump around, typically fall over frequently. Due the fact it is a quest location has it overlap in some instances loading in old files with the empty/murder house with the livable location. Counter with each of the buildable homes, have the chances for dragon's to spawn in, every fast travel. The worst offender being the out in the south in Falkreath territory. Then take into account, again, the bugs of each location with both patches. Same issues, but on crack. There is only one space that is worth using due to travel time, fast travel distance, location and being relatively bug free. Whiterun. Then consider the home in Markarth. It is plain and simple, just too far to be useful, and is even comparable to the Windhelm home in size. TL:DR - Just use Whiterun, it's the easiest, fastest, most affordable, functional, reasonably non-bugged housing location in all of Skyrim. The only critical issue with it? Missing an enchanting table... which is also relatively close for all your Resto Glitch needs.
I only buy houses after civil war/that one mainquest where you can give away the holds, bc if ur smart you can skip all that questing for the jarls bc they already like you
ngl I thought the twist was gonna be why not all of them bc by the end of the game it's not difficult to own at least 2 or 3 properties and have enough money and treasure to buy at least 1 or 2 more
@@ConstellationsGaming hahaha that is... Unfortunately true 😭 if only my brain wanted math and foreign language skills like it wasn't useless Skyrim knowledge 🤣
Biggest pro for the custom homes are the indoor and outdoor gardens. I am an avid alchemist. Though I do love Windhelm and the home. Huge fan of the architecture, brutal winters, and a convenient port city. The racism sucks but that can be found everywhere. Just especially bad in Windhelm.
The answer to all things economy related in Skyrim is "All of the Above" as once you start the crafting loops the Dragonborn is hard pressed to spend all their gold. Your math on dungeon crawling is off since the gold you get out of dungeon crawling depends on your level, since it determines how far loot and enemies scale. Your alchemy one is also suspect as salt is for cooking and salmon roe is hard to farm compared to other ingredients for alchemy (let alone the whole metric here changes once you have the green house, meaning your math only works for getting your first house, but the homesteads and Solitude/WIndhelm aren't starter homes). With the homesteads I think you also forgot to account for a couple things, such as it makes money from letting you grow food and alchemy ingredients. You can still have your spouse's shop. It conveniently locates all the crafting stations close together. Then on survival that homestead carriage is your best means of quickly traversing the world since it can go to more places than hold carriages, and some holds don't even have a carriage.
One thing to keep note of is that Hjerim and Honeyside's prices are actually based on how much money you have at the time. Hjerim itself can cost as low as 8K gold, while Honeyside can go as low as 5K. So Hjerim can also cost you 17K at most, while Honeyside can cost at most 9.3K.
Honestly, if 1 gold was able to be translated to 1 US dollar That's an incredible Price but its... well.... GOLD (Maybe, I'm not sure if it's pure gold or not, it wouldn't hold together if it was pure gold.)
Fun fact, Hjerim can actually be bought for 8000 gold. If you have less than the 12k asking price, but at least 8k, you can pay with all money that you have on hand at the time. This would bring the total cost of Hjerim down to 17,000 gold instead of 21,000. The same is actually true of Honeyside as well. If you don't have it's 8k asking price, but have at least 5k, you can buy it with all the money you have, so you can buy Honeyside for 5k, making it tied with Breezehome for the cheapest initial purchase.
Did my level 100+ dragonborn who leads every major faction, kills dragons for breakfast and single-handedly ended the civil war build or buy a house? Answer: "Yes." Gold too easy to come by, honestly.
Fr erandur needs to walk faster, I've frozen to death in survival mode because of him, for some reason running ahead would make him stop and wait for me.
I think that’s still a preference. I don’t ever cook meals in Skyrim and I think a lot of other players don’t either so a kitchen is useless. Square footage is the only way to assure a true playing field.
@@ConstellationsGaming Metrics change depending on if you play survival or not, as dumplings are one of the best weight to food ratio items and you need to have the kitchen oven for those. Though honestly that is something ESO did better of making food long term buffs and alchemy short term buffs, meanwhile in Skyrim most food is just an ineffective potion and the buffs don't last that long.
So the premade homes were furnished. Does this take into account furnishing the hearthfire home? Like materials , time to collect them and cost? If it doesn’t I feel like that drastically changes cost and time
At the end of the video I mention having the steward furnish the home which costs a certain amount of gold. Which is similar to having the stewards in the towns upgrade and furnish bought homes. It still came out cheaper but if you wanted to build all the furnishings the built houses would be even cheaper. It doesn’t really change the outcome of my video because the built house is already cheap even if furnishings are purchased rather than built. So I decided not to pursue that data.
You’re not wrong but I made it clear that I was only comparing the vanilla houses to the hearthfire ones. I may do all the creation club content in a different video.
this fails to take in the use of mods at all as with the right ones you can have enough of the needed building items 50 times over and another 2 allow you to cut down any tree and convert it to the needed wood for the houses this means that if done right with the right load order any of those buildable houses only costs the first 5000
@@ConstellationsGaming no the truth is it is more lame and with only 2 possible kids and no option for them to grow up and become followers and adventures or even just stay around the house as live in guards there is no point even buying any of the houses or building any added by hearthfire or the ones added via the addons given with the upto date version they are not needed unless your really into rp a home owner but with the right mods they can become way better
Basic economic principle that, all else being equal, more is preferable to less. This is arrived at from the facts that people prefer having less now compared to more later, when it comes to basic survival needs, as otherwise you and I would be dead.
If the jarl names me thane and gives me a housecarl, I build or buy so my housecarl has a place to live. Simple enough. Either building or buying is worth it if I enjoy doing it, no matter what you say, calculate, or assert. The beauty of my single player game is that I can play it however I want. I'm seven minutes in. If I don't stop watching now I'll end up giving a thumbs down

Honestly, if 1 gold was able to be translated to 1 US dollar That's an incredible Price but its... well.... GOLD (Maybe, I'm not sure if it's pure gold or not, it wouldn't hold together if it was pure gold.)
Fun fact, Hjerim can actually be bought for 8000 gold. If you have less than the 12k asking price, but at least 8k, you can pay with all money that you have on hand at the time. This would bring the total cost of Hjerim down to 17,000 gold instead of 21,000.
The same is actually true of Honeyside as well. If you don't have it's 8k asking price, but have at least 5k, you can buy it with all the money you have, so you can buy Honeyside for 5k, making it tied with Breezehome for the cheapest initial purchase.

Though honestly that is something ESO did better of making food long term buffs and alchemy short term buffs, meanwhile in Skyrim most food is just an ineffective potion and the buffs don't last that long.
Cant wait for the Tamriel housing market to crash in 4E202
Skyrim is the best at being weirdly annoying in their choices and half hazardly trowing things until they stick
So the premade homes were furnished. Does this take into account furnishing the hearthfire home? Like materials , time to collect them and cost? If it doesn’t I feel like that drastically changes cost and time
At the end of the video I mention having the steward furnish the home which costs a certain amount of gold. Which is similar to having the stewards in the towns upgrade and furnish bought homes. It still came out cheaper but if you wanted to build all the furnishings the built houses would be even cheaper. It doesn’t really change the outcome of my video because the built house is already cheap even if furnishings are purchased rather than built. So I decided not to pursue that data.
Naw golden hills plantation is the best I can just wait 20 days and collect thousands of coins
You’re not wrong but I made it clear that I was only comparing the vanilla houses to the hearthfire ones. I may do all the creation club content in a different video.
@@ConstellationsGaming oh dang I must have missed that part lol! Sorry
@@ianbeck2194 all good! Just appreciate you watching and commenting! Thank you.
Built: 9.8g/ssqft
Bought: 15.4g/ssqft
lmao the intro
You know what you should also take into account? To get hjerim, you have to comeplete one of - if not THE most buggy quest in the game. XDDD
Just make a ton of money and do whatever you want
good video
Thank you!
Breezehome only let's be real.
Unless I have creation club, then it's Myrwatch 100%
Breezehome is legendary
No enchanter though
I myself am a Honeyside enjoyer. There is no home with this kind of atmosphere AND a lake next to it
@@unnameduser5647 I am both, i use breezehome as a storage home and honeyside for the enchanting.
Goldenhill Plantation best!
12:18 bro ffv music? Omegabased.
😏
lovely bro
I just use Morskom estate
Fuckin mint
"house expert"... Oh dear.
@@ButmunkieOG 😂 that’s me
@@ConstellationsGaming 1:39 "I'm not a house expert or a carpenter or whatever you'd call someone who is a house expert" No it isn't!
Does this include AE houses
It does not. Purely vanilla.
@@ConstellationsGaming will you plz do one including Tundra Homestead etc
@@jacobc8019 yeah! I’m playing on doing one with all the creation club and dlc content. 👍
@@ConstellationsGaming 😊
Would you consider doing a Skyrim survival LP? No one plays survival and they just teleport around the map
the answer is totally obvious. download the dragon born manor mod.
You're kinda cute Argoinain so would you like to go to hist tree sometime
this fails to take in the use of mods at all as with the right ones you can have enough of the needed building items 50 times over and another 2 allow you to cut down any tree and convert it to the needed wood for the houses this means that if done right with the right load order any of those buildable houses only costs the first 5000
Mods are technically exploits. I wanted to compare prices of the vanilla game. More pure that way.
@@ConstellationsGaming no the truth is it is more lame and with only 2 possible kids and no option for them to grow up and become followers and adventures or even just stay around the house as live in guards there is no point even buying any of the houses or building any added by hearthfire or the ones added via the addons given with the upto date version they are not needed unless your really into rp a home owner but with the right mods they can become way better
@maxrander0101 by this logic, you can find mods that make everything better but we are talking main skyrim here not nodded skyrim
Why does bigger house equal better?!
Basic economic principle that, all else being equal, more is preferable to less.
This is arrived at from the facts that people prefer having less now compared to more later, when it comes to basic survival needs, as otherwise you and I would be dead.
If the jarl names me thane and gives me a housecarl, I build or buy so my housecarl has a place to live. Simple enough.
Either building or buying is worth it if I enjoy doing it, no matter what you say, calculate, or assert.
The beauty of my single player game is that I can play it however I want.
I'm seven minutes in. If I don't stop watching now I'll end up giving a thumbs down
Not that serious guy. It’s just for fun. Lol
@@ConstellationsGaminghe definitely meant to say thumbs up
@@ConstellationsGaming Hey don't listen to that guy. I'm happy i found your channel. thanks for the ESSENTIAL
skyrim knowlegde
I recommend taking a break from the internet if something like a simple youtube video makes you have a reaction like that😉
It's a fun video dude, he hasn't got a gun to your head telling you to follow it
