    I used mods to turn Skyrim into a farming simulator, then lived a simpler life.
    Enjoy this modded playthrough where I rebuild Heljarchen Farm and turn it into a thriving farming business. Inspired by Stardew Valley, I wanted to make this a mixture of farming, business operations, and rural living. And I threw in some cute animals, because why not?
    The core mod used is Heljarchen Farm Revamped, which is available at the Nexus link listed below. This is a really cool mod that's quite highly polished, and I had never played through it before! It pairs great with other mods that amplify the rural farming feel of Whiterun hold, and Cutting Room Floor, which adds the planned Heljarchen village back into the game that was cut from the official release.

    You... Don't know what the point of the windmill is? Mill... It's for milling! The sails catch the wind and start turning. This powers a simple gear mechanism which is connected to a grinding stone turning in circles on a stone bowl. It is used to MILL grain :3 If wind is scarce water wheels can also be used. Which is a much better way in my opinion but if you don't have a flowing river, than you don't have a choice... Also common are animal powered milling stones. But they require more space, so much more space... And well... Animals! Donkeys were often used.

It has all the aspects of farming except having to water or feed anything. You have to collect resources to build it out, you plant, hire people, get animals and harvest everything. Get paid daily.

    My favorite part was the cat adoption of course 😂 genuinely though, I found it very funny that you named some of the cats after other Skyrim UA-camrs! It's a nice touch. My honestly favourite part was when you set up shop and sold your goods. Felt like the right thing to do. Having a manor for the kitties and clover is nice, but I think letting all the npcs do all the work eliminates most of the fun of being a farmer. Maybe when you're retiring, it's a suitable choice. I wonder if you can fire Roggvold for insulting clover.

    I really like the idea of playing survival and slowly watching my home grow across the playthrough instead of doing a quest and having a mansion or dungeon, or just paying for a small house. I want to build one like Hearthfire, but with the community and business aspects too… this is exactly what I want, I just don’t have a PC.

    I'm sure someone has told you this by now, or you might have looked it up, windmills use the power of the wind to turn grain into flour. The process is called milling and it's an old profession that people in old times would pick up the last name Miller. I'm sure you've seen what a milling station looks like. It's that thing that you can see through the opening at the bottom of the windmill. It has a circular table with grooves and a wheel that is closely affixed so that it can press the grains into flour. In times before the windmill was invented or those who couldn't afford to build them would use a mortar and pestle to grind the grain into flour or would use less expensive things called querns that would work similarly to windmills only the stones used to make it would need to be rotated by hand. It was a simple early tool that someone could have made themselves or bought that greatly helped you grind all sorts of things like herbs in addition to flour.

  • @hannsols

    Great and fun video idea! But as for the apocalypse series, you could be a Breton or Imperial Paladin, and a side quest would be that you would have to pray to each of the gods separately at each hold’s shrine, but each city is devoted to a different god, for example:
    Riften - Mara
    Markath - Dibella
    Windhelm - Talos
    Whiterun - Kynerath
    And then I guess the rest would correspond with the ‘theme’ of the city, like Julianos for Winterhold because he’s a god of magic, and winter hold because of the College of Winterhold. But of course, it’s up to you, we’d just really like for you to continue the series because of how good it is, so thanks!

    I would love to see an add-on in Skyrim or a mod where you can restore all the Dwemer cities back to their original luster, repairing pillars and everything as you walk through there. You can either make the things you need to repair or become in cahoots with theDwemer museum in Markarth. And he can supply you with things that he has, and all the rooms dotting around Skyrim can be restored because it would be cool to see what they looked like before they were desecrated by time.

    The purpose of the wind mills is for milling wind.
    The makes the wind softer, which makes it more valuable.
    Just like people don't like hard water, purple don't like hard wind.
    You can sell soft wind to Vitz.
    Or, if you want to plan ahead, you can build storage containers, and stockpile wind against the day that Skyrim builds wind farms.
    You could become a power conglomerate.

    A Windmill is a wind powered millstone. Millstones aka grind stones were used to make flower from cereal grains. Fun fact, that is were the saying "keep your nose to the grind stone" comes from. It was to make sure it was not spinning too fast causing it to burn due to friction.

    Now that was a good video, it's a hard choice on whether I prefer this slice of life style content compared to the apocalyptic style of the other videos. They're both amazing-
    Although, the cat army at the end does give this one a few extra points.
    The next course of action is clearly to make Gjeoffriehy a Jarl! I'm sure there's a mod based on that concept. (this is a joke, even if there is a mod for it I feel like you'd make Skyrim a barren wasteland by the time you get all the resources.)

    I mean, I enjoyed the voyage, but I feel like I've watched one of those weird "watch me play with the playset" toy channels with this. Your commentary teeters a bit between decent in character Roleplay and kinda obnoxious, tone deaf talking for the sake of it.
    I think I'm using harsher words than I could, because I feel this was a nice chill journey to take into a compilation of mods and a rather harmless story that most certainly accomplishes your mission of turning Skyrim, the official stealth archer simulator, into something more akin to Stardew Valley, as you clearly were trying to drive home.
    I think creators like you with your channel have a great opportunity at hand for making adventures out of gameplay mods much like many build-along Minecrafters like fWhip do, but I believe where they're working a little better for people like me VS your video is just in presentation. I feel like you're trying to do your best to appeal to the children in the room with your tone and delivery, gameplay wise we all understand the crafting grind, and that itself takes a lot of the magic away from the story you're telling, so I will give you A LOT of credit for making that more tolerable as you went along.
    If I were to offer some kind of constructive advice and not only critique: If you're gonna tell the story, tell it fully in character, or tell it from third person. I am not getting baby chickens nor eggs from your semi-first person interactions with Clover's janky nonsense or the aptly named Nord putting his fist through the door. Get your head into the character, that's a long walk to find a worn out farm just to find it in shambles and having to setup your tent under the dilapidated remains of the farmhouse, maybe during a coming storm. Use serious tonal focus, the farm looked BLEAK when it was first discovered, no one aside from the childhood fairy tale character is going to just take this head on without forethought and motivation.
    Pace your story, maybe Gjeoffriehy has taken a few trips past Whiterun and got inspired by all the farms he saw, and the motivation is to struggle upward through manual labor and establishing connections with the townsfolk; Which by the way, hoooooly crap did you destroy all the value of the people you visited by name, especially as you bring up how important they're going to be throughout. Maybe make a habit of keeping characters somewhat relevant by using a necessary sewn logs pickup trip into times to reflect on the coming projects, and maybe just drop a loaf of bread on a nearby table as a show of good character relations? Or just, not exclusively focus on the single "Haha dog float diagonal" parts, every, single, time.
    Play the game as the character you're acting as, I can see you are certainly trying to emulate a bit in the gameplay, so get yourself into it a little bit more, set some realistic limitations for yourself, or use survival mode mechanics to force your character to pace themselves. You may turn 10 in game days into 20 just because laborious tasks take time to wind down, and even you don't manage to collage that into some sort of "20 days and my last rations, finally paid off" compilation in the video, you have the experience of it to sell in your delivery to make more of a journey out of it all. Perhaps simulate an issue where the village's defenses or returning bandits became a bit of an issue. Conflict comes in many forms.
    Or, you know, you could just demo a few mods piecemeal to make Stardew Valley in Skyrim. You have a good video here, and you got another subscriber with this wall of text. Any person can just make demo videos on it's surface and convince someone to download a mod, and that's honestly what I came here to see. Somehow, the mods have left me underwhelmed but not surprised given Skyrim's limitations, but your take on the video was investing enough to keep me around to just see what was gonna come about of it.
