DLC #86 - Skyrim - Hearthfire

Skysims...
The Hearthfire DLC adds 5 new trophies to the world of Skyrim, and focuses around the concept of building and furnishing your own houses, using raw materials gained from resourcing the landscape and/or purchasing them from traders.

The trophies are, predictably, as dull as the actual package itself, with a sole focus of building houses upon all 3 plots of land you're given the option to purchase after downloading the add-on.

The concept of building houses is just pure button bashing, but it is worth noting that you will need to plug a fair amount of financial backing into the cost of land, raw materials and home extensions if you're looking to grab every trophy available.

The "Land Baron" trophy, awarded for buying three plots of land, will require 15,000 coins (5,000 for each plot) straight off the bat, and will also require you to complete/already have completed a couple of side quests for each area before you can buy the relevant plot of land too.

The "Master Architect" trophy, awarded for building three houses, will require you to fully max out a house at each plot of land, which includes constructing a small house layout, a main hall and three different extensions. If you've already beaten the main game and have stockpiled your coins, this won't be a problem, but there are high costs involved in maximising your properties, so if you don't have the coinage for it, you could be in for a very long and arduous slog. 

If not, you can collect all 5 trophies in no more than a couple of hours, albeit a very long feeling couple of hours.
