There is no known way to fix this except to finish the room yourself. Also just as a heads up, getting your house carl to furnish all of the rooms for you takes a very long time

"Purchasing furnishings from a steward will sometimes trigger them to say "You can't afford that," even though enough gold is on hand. This can also occur when remodeling a small home into an entryway before hiring a steward, at which time the furnishings for the entryway cannot be bought. There is no known fix for this bug yet."

So I've been upgrading Lakeview Manor and I have a couple of questions;- What happens if I dismiss the bard?- Is there an option to place items inside a display case, or do I have to do it manually?- My steward (Faendral, unless my spelling is off) gives me the option to furnish my rooms, but it seems to not be working properly. At first I paid for all the options, but then noticed there were still some options at my workbench (such as the wall mounted creatures). I returned to the steward and only had the grey out option to furnish the furniture for the entranceway, which I already paid for and which I am told I can not afford (despite having five times the gold needed). Is this a glitch?- Lastly, are the items I place creating a custom house set up, or can I just go through the list purchasing everything with no missed oppurtunities for certain furniture/storage?

Thanks in advance guys.

Do it manually. Doesn't really work though. = /It takes him forever and ever to furnish. Some people say up to a month per room.

I'm not certain I understand your last question.

You must A) gather your party before venturing forth
________B) construct additional pylons

I'll try to reword it, my apologies. If I just randomly buiild all the options in order, will i turn out with the same house as if I specifically went through and created everything I wanted first? Basically, are their any options, or at the end will every house look identical inside? Is there a limited amount of 'slots' for furniture and multiple options for each slot?

- What happens if I dismiss the bard?
They leave until you tell your Steward to hire them again.- Is there an option to place items inside a display case, or do I have to do it manually?
Manually. Drop what you want to display, leave, and return; then decorate.

Is this a glitch?
Stewards will furnish your home, but SLOWLY. The "out of money" is just a dialog glitch.
- Lastly, are the items I place creating a custom house set up, or can I just go through the list purchasing everything with no missed oppurtunities for certain furniture/storage?
You can buy everything (there aren't any A or B decisions). I think that's what your asking, but I'm not to sure.

Thank you very much, that clears things up. Also, by slowly furnishing my home that means he will do one room at a time and over time add on piece by piece? What if I finish well he is still tasked with furnishing? Also, there were only options for the mainhall and the entry, does that mean that I have to furnish the bedrooms and the cellar myself? Lastly, will I be able to select the entryway after he has finished his current assignment?

1 If you pay him he will furnish multiple rooms at the same time still at the slow pace ( and when we say slow we mean SLOOOOOOOOW)2 if you finish off a room you paid him to do then nothing happens he jjust stops although sometimes you can still tell him to finish the room even though its finished already... yea its goofy3 yea the back top roomand basement you have to do your self I would guess because it does need some materials that aint that cheap or easy to come by

4 What do you mean? if you put a great hall onto the house you should have turned the house into an entry way. If you finished the house then transformed it into a entry way you lose most of the work you did ( if I remember right a few shelves and chest stay) other then that all the mats you used are lost as the room takes a new set up

I do not have an explosives problem, I do have the explosives, however it is YOU who have the problem *click*

Thanks, but the fourth question was answered already (I was asking if I could customize the contents of my house, or if decided to build a dresser if it would take a slot that could be used by something else).

- New question. What happens if my steward dies? Can I get a new steward, or is that option permanently locked out?

The only way your steward will die is if you kill them so don't do that, and if you do don't save it.

Some stewards patrol the house's perimeter and can be killed in Dragon attacks if caught in AoE attacks.

You can get a new steward if your current steward dies.

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

With the Hearthfire add-on and the Farming Creation, certain followers can be hired to become a personal steward upon purchase and construction of any of these new houses:

To hire a follower, simply ask them to come with you, then travel to the build site. They should approach you and volunteer for the job, or if not, you can ask them yourself once there. You will need to first build at least the Small House Layout before the option to hire them appears. Your steward will patrol the exterior of your property, as well as use various items in and around your house. Once a steward has been chosen for a particular homestead, the choice is permanent; you cannot replace that steward with someone else later.

You can ask them to make improvements to the house, which will allow you several options:

Hire a carriage driver for 500 gold
Hire a bard for 1500 gold
Purchase a horse for 1000 gold (if you have built the exterior Stable option)
Purchase a cow for 200 gold (if you have built the exterior Animal Pen option)
- Your cow will provide jugs of milk over time in the cupboard closest to the butter churn, in your kitchen if you have built it.
Purchase up to three chickens for 25 gold (if you have built the exterior Animal Pen option)
- Your chicken(s) will have a nest where you will be provided with chicken's eggs.
- There is little advantage, other than completeness, to purchasing more than one chicken—you only get one nest even with three of them.

Building Materials[edit]

You can ask your steward to purchase building materials for you:

Lumber: 20 for 200 gold
Stone: 20 for 100 gold
Clay: 20 for 20 gold

Furnish a Room[edit]

You can ask your steward to purchase furnishing options for the house. When you ask a steward to decorate part of your home for you, they will not do so immediately. They will gradually add furnishing options over time, which can be a very slow process. This is one way to avoid the chore of collecting all the required materials yourself, though you'll miss out on all the Smithing experience you'd gain from crafting thousands of nails and iron fittings. If you have them decorate a section of your home, they will eventually add all possible furnishing options to that section of the home; if you prefer not to have certain furnishing options added, you should build furnishing options for that section of the home yourself. The costs of each section of the home are as follows:

Note that the cost for each section will be the same, regardless of how much of the furnishings you have already built yourself.

If you don't have the patience to wait for your steward to furnish, see the notes section at the bottom of the page how to make them work faster.

Other[edit]

You can also ask your steward where to buy materials such as glass or straw. They will direct you to a nearby general goods store: Belethor's General Goods in Whiterun (from Heljarchen Hall), Gray Pine Goods in Falkreath (from Lakeview Manor), or Bits and Pieces in Solitude (from Windstad Manor).

FarmingCC[edit]

After hiring a personal steward for Goldenhills PlantationCC, you can order them to furnish areas of the house:

Kitchen for 750 gold
Dining area for 500 gold
Alchemy and enchanting lab for 1000 gold
Loft for 500 gold
Master bedroom for 750 gold
Child's bedroom for 500 gold
Library and display room for 750 gold

You can also order them to:

Hire 2 farmhands for 500 gold
Buy a horse for 1000 gold
Buy a cow for 300 gold
Buy two goats for 200 gold
Buy three chickens for 100 gold

Followers Who Can Become Stewards[edit]

†Only one quest of this type can be active at a time.

These NPCs are added by the Dawnguard add-on. If you become infected with vampirism, after having appointed one of the Dawnguard as your steward, you must cure yourself before they will speak with you again, thus making them useless as a steward until you are cured.

Notes[edit]

The amount of time it takes for stewards to furnish your house depends on the number of times you leave the area. The fastest way to complete the process is to find the border of your property and cross it repeatedly until the furnishing is done (PC players can quickly find the border using the tb console command). There are several areas where this can be performed, including:

Lakeview Manor: Go South from your entrance door. After the carriage driver and just before the small pond next to Pinewatch are two large trees growing next to the rocks on your right. The border is between the trees. Windstad Manor: Go straight east from your entrance door, up the hill. The border is between the two trees growing next to the rocks on your left. (There is a third tree on your right.) Heljarchen Hall: Go straight south towards Loreius`s farm and pass your stable and carriage driver. Where the rocks on your right end are two blue mountain flowers. One of them is growing next to a dead branch. The border is between the two flowers.

Stewards who are Blades will stay at the house that they are steward of, and not go back to Sky Haven Temple.
There is no option for Stewards to furnish your cellar.
If you want to dismiss a steward, you can do so using the console.
- Dismiss the steward of Lakeview Manor in Falkreath Hold:
  SetConsoleScopeQuest BYOHHouseBuilding EmptyRefAlias House1Steward
  SetPapyrusQuestVar BYOHHouseFalkreath bHaveSteward False
- Dismiss the steward of Windstad Manor in Hjaalmarch:
  SetConsoleScopeQuest BYOHHouseBuilding EmptyRefAlias House2Steward
  SetPapyrusQuestVar BYOHHouseHjaalmarch bHaveSteward False
- Dismiss the steward of Heljarchen Hall in the Pale:
  SetConsoleScopeQuest BYOHHouseBuilding EmptyRefAlias House3Steward
  SetPapyrusQuestVar BYOHHousePale bHaveSteward False
- If you put these commands into a bat file, then the EmptyRefAlias will fail, but the other 2 will work, allowing you to appoint a new steward at that holding, but your old steward will still have steward dialogue.

Bugs[edit]

Personal stewards may vanish after being appointed.
Personal stewards may tell you that you don't have enough gold when you attempt to furnish rooms, even when you do. This is usually caused by furnishing a room before asking the steward to do it.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.0.3 of the Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.
Personal stewards may not sleep at all and instead just stand next to the bed.
- This bug is fixed by version 2.0.2 of the Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.
Upon arrival at the house hirelings may offer to be a steward but may not have the normal steward dialogue and instead offer to go adventuring for free or a price depending on the mercenary. They will, however, wander off and do things on the property like any other steward. Waiting at least 24 hours after dismissing refreshes the dialogue that allows you to hire them again. At that point they will have normal steward options.
- This bug is fixed by version 2.0.3 of the Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.
On some occasions, particularly when hiring a bard is the only option left, the option of making upgrades for the home will be absent.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.1.2 of the Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.
- Killing your cow and triggering a load screen (entering the house) may trigger the dialogue for home improvements with your steward. Not selecting hiring a bard first will cause the option to disappear again.
After furnishing a room by using a steward, the furnishings may not actually appear.
Whenever hirelings are subsequently "hired" for adventuring, they will lose their steward dialogue upon being released from service.
- This bug is fixed by version 2.0.3 of the Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.
Followers may not give the option to become stewards if Dragonborn is enabled.
- Followers that have to be paid to follow may not present the choice for Stewardship, but Followers that call you friend and follow upon request will present the choice upon arrival to the home.
