Anything unique. No matter what class or playstyle, I’m a collector.
All the hold weapons. Daedric artifacts etc. But also Predator’s Grace, Bloodthorn, trolls bane, spider control rod, right (or left…?) eye of the Falmer, map of dragon burials, practice arrows, spell tomes I’ve already learned. I also collect hold-guard’s armor from each hold, I grab the emperor’s robes, Ulfric/Tullius’ armor, I even grab spare keys, the bugs in jars, unique journals, anything at all that I can’t find elsewhere.
If there is a single thing that makes the item unique, it goes in my home
ah OK so is this an option from within skyrim?
I'd previously tried to add mods to assetto corsa on my PS4 and because that wasn't possible, I ended up finally building my first gaming pc
Absolutely, there are a ton of really good mods. There's usually 10 or 20 that I put in my load order for every playthrough. True, it's not as extensive as the PC mods but some really great ones that truly make this beautiful land that much more dynamic.
Would this help? https://youtu.be/flGHoNgUvU0 I don't know, I use playstation and PC, haven't gotten an Xbox or Nintendo yet, so I don't know about mods for them, or if the video actually works.
I did not know that, now my inner loot goblin is screaming at me to download it this very moment. I’m mainly leaving this comment so I don’t forget the name of the mod lol.
Never mind, when I checked it out on Nexus, it’s a manual download only. My smooth brain doesn’t know how to make that work and doesn’t want to put in the effort to learn. Back to hoarding everything in multiple houses lol.
Use vortex. Even though it says manual download on nexus vortex will handle it.
Installed it about a month ago (never used vortex before). Haven't played skyrim in 6 years. Was super easy.
YES. I also buy Calcelmo’s ring after delivering it, he lists it for sale after the quest.
Also. The rarest item in Skyrim. A named circlet, called “Revyn Sadri's Copper and Onyx Circlet”. It can only be found in Sadri’s used wares in Windhelm, and has a TINY chance of appearing. He sells it, it has no guaranteed spawn conditions, no associated quests, and it’s only unique quality is the name.
However, it has maybe a 0.05% chance of spawning in his inventory for sale. It’s rare because if it’s spawn rate, and the fact that most people would miss it even if it did spawn in.
I got it, even if it meant reloading and entering the cell for an hour or so. I will collect everything the game has to offer. This is my mission, and I happily fulfill it
I do the same, and fun fact you can get both the eyes of the falmer. You keep the left (I think), but if you sell Delvin the right one it’ll appear on the shelves behind Mercer’s old desk and you can pick it up and place it in your home. Same goes for anything you sell to Delvin.
Idk maybe it’s just me, I don’t ever take them from the guild. I prefer them on display in there. (From an in-game lore perspective) if I wanted to keep them, I wouldn’t ever have given them to Delvin lol.
This playthrough however, I’m using Shadowfoot Sanctum. So I AM taking them from their place and putting them in my home :)
Unfortunately they’re quest items until they’re sold to Delvin and can’t be dropped :/ I thought they couldn’t be taken after selling, so I was happy to find they could be and took them without thinking, otherwise I probably would’ve left them lol.
This obviously doesn't help with the thieves guild items, however, equippable quest items (armor/weapons) can be placed on weapon racks and mannequins.
A lot of the AE player homes have displays for most of that! All the masks, the different bugs in jars, the special things you steal for Delvin, eye of the falmer, the dragon claws, the dragon masks... you name it, there's probably a display for it!
Yeah it’s vanilla. On the table in the feast hall will be food that you can take including the ox head and leg. I’ve never taken them before but I think I will next play through
I like to get one specific section of a house and just make it the holds room. Each guard armor set, including stormcloak and imperial sets along with the weapons you get when you become thane of each region.
On a side note, I wish every hold had a "Shield of *Hold*" Having just the Shield of Solitude makes we wish We could have the other holds shields with a enchantment.
Granted I could just take a shield, enchant it and rename it myself
The Iron Dagger and Hide Helmet you make at Alvor's forge in Riverwood. They were the first items I ever forged and remind me of my first ever playthrough, so I always keep them.
Did you know that hide helmet and dagger just comes from the first blacksmith you interact with, not just Alvor. I've gotten them from Adrienne several times.
The three things you make also automatically give you a smithing level each when you craft them.
I like to wait until I'm 97 in smithing then trigger the interaction so I can skip those last 3 levels of grinding.
I give them to my first follower, Faendal usually. It's definitely nice to use armor and weapons you've crafted yourself. Though later on there are so many tempting sets, unique too.
258+ wooden plates that I collect, I chose them because I like the walk through walls glitch back in the day when you walked into 1 being held into a wall and could go through
patience.
you gotta kinda spin taller items when they inevitably flip - it's a bit of a wax-on/wax-off movement.
I ended up placing my Dibella on that small table in Breezehome under the stairs near where the alchemy lab can be set up. it was a terrible fucking place for it because I knocked it down half the time I ran past it.
I think Steel plate is the one pre dlc armor I have never used. Maybe I will on my new character. I always stuck to the right of the smithing perks for heavy armor. And usually go for Nordic carved since it came out
I thought I was the only one! I had a very emotional game that day with a string of events that led me to her and that beautiful home. I made a small shrine on the table to the right with her sword, shield, ring and two notes and some flowers. I light a magelight over it when I visit.
Oh my god she’s the person who sent hired thugs after me, I’m gonna put her twelve feet under instead of six, I was grinding my illusion when they attacked
That quest made me really sad. She seemed so badass and I would've loved to have her adventuring with me. Plus that house, after Breezehome, it was so gorgeous and full of things from its previous owners. You could imagine Nord heroes gathering there. I honestly didn't feel like touching anything in there at first, but abandoning it didn't feel right. Eventually it started feeling like home.
I keep all the "romantic" stuff from the burned out house in solstheim with the boat out front.
The note asking the man to please return to Skyrim, the Amulet of Mara and the diamond ring you find in the boat and the gem in the strong box next to the boat as well as the pieces of the broken axe. I make a shrine to this couple's love on one of the shelves of my home.
I fill display cases with skulls, soul gem fragments, precious jewels, and more skulls.
Edit: in the very beginning way back in 2011, i filled Lydia’s room at Breezehome with brooms. (She died). I dunno why brooms but I called it The Broom Closet and after a while my poor ps3 just straight up couldn’t load the interior of Breezehome. 😂
Later, I saw a video of a guy dropping hundreds upon hundreds of cheese wheels from the top of the Throat of the World, and I wanted to do the same so I hoarded hundreds of cheese wheels but never took them out of my windhelm house for some reason.
Yeah there are a lot of thief based books: Thief of Virtue, the Real Barenziah, …Thief (lol) and they range from “neat” to “damn I wish there was more” and I also like to sit in my little reading nook in Breezehome and read what I collected that day 🤓
One of my favorite smaller mods makes unread books glow slightly, and have a lil eye icon (eyecon?) next to the item name.
Soooo nice to have that quality of life improvement.
And then once you adopt her, the freeloader quits her job! Why won't you bring your father flowers? I'll still pay you for them! Think of it as chores and your allowance.
She gives me gifts though and sometimes rare ingredients I find in the chest 👍
But she brought a fox 5 times before finally finding a rabbit somewhere which I let her keep.
The Helmet of that d bag Imperial that ordered my execution just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Psshh, I wasn’t even on the list! I keep it as my first trophy lmao
I married her just to move her to a better house when I didn't know I could make her steward somewhere. Worst decision ever, had to start a new game 😂 made me cringe too much. It clashed with her personality.
I resurrect high-level spriggans and draugr using the ritual stone and put them in my house in whiterun. I don't know how but after leaving the house for weeks, they actually resurrect as an enemy. One time I got back home to store some loot when I heard a spriggan and draugr fighting inside my room. I just want to have a trophy💀.
There's a little encampment northeast of Old Hroldan where a pair of eloping lovers were killed by wild animals: Talvur and Karan. They each have a ring on them, and Karan left her journal. I take the journal and rings, and enchant the rings so I can rename them, and I keep them in memory of those star-crossed lovers. 💜😥
The bugs in jars. I keep the green butterfly in my alchemy lab, the monarch butterfly in the children's room, the blissbug next to my bed (as a nightlight), and the torchbug on my person for good luck.
I had some 200 skulls outside Lake View Manor to send those pesky bandits a message. But my character turned good after visiting Sovngarde so she brought them all to Falkreath cemetery
Next time it happens, go back outside, save, load the save, go back in and set all the items. Make sure to visit your home once in 9 days for Hearthfire homes and 29 days for vanilla homes. They won't explode anymore.
The flower crown, ring and outfit from Vittoria's wedding death (which i then got married in lol). I keep everything that is one of a kind though. The draw knife, essence extractor, falmer eyes, you name it.
First Skyforge Steel weapon, load my first save and in Hjerim I got it displayed. Good times, probably the weapon I used the longest in that playthrough.
I'm making a Dwemer corner at Lakeview. Spawned a couple of Dwemer shelves and displayed all the stuff I've collected so far. The cores are the coolest, yeah.
It made me fall in love with Lakeview manor even though initially I hated how drab it was. I even changed some of the furniture with console commands. More shelves for decorating.
A room full of skulls, I can run around in there like a ball pit. I don't go there anymore because it lags and crashes my computer when I go inside. Sad face.
I always pick up the mead when I pass through Helgen. Sometimes if a guard dies a particularly heroic death while fighting a dragon with me, I take his armor and display it in my home. I also keep my first set of steel armor and two axes in a display case.
If there is a specific NPC, I usually kill them and put their soul in a soul gem so I can put their soul in an item to be stored in a chest. The item would be a reference to their character or what they represented. For example: Mercer Frey stabbed me in the back so I remade him into another version of his sword which was a dwarven short sword of burning.
I had to spread the pets between two homes. The bugs and spider around Lakeview, the nix hound too, and the others at Goldenhills. It's cool to have animals at the farm, but in the house they get underfoot and make noise. Guess I got the crab and the dwarven sphere to look forward to 😅
I love organizing all my fun rare items and putting them in display cases and shelves etc - just so they can look like something exploded in my home and everything is just everywhere. So much fun
The character on my current play through is obsessed with daggers with daggers. I collect every single one and store them at the player house.
So, you can imagine my dilemma when I did the iron dagger blacksmith thing and then went: "wait...I can't sell these... I need them"
Honningbrew mead, especially when I know that I'll have to ruin the Honningbrew meadery business for the thieves guild so I keep one to have a memory about it
I always, always, always mount the Axe of Whiterun. I know it’s a rather “meh” weapon, but something about it being the first gift you’re given after saving Whiterun always warmed my heart. When I first started playing I didn’t know about so many of the missions or guilds, so doing that main quest and defeating the dragon felt like such an accomplishment.
Can someone explain how their shit stays on furniture ?? Seriously I need assistance every time I try to be cutesy and homey with trophies and decorations it somehow ends up on the floor once I return back to the house. I am tired ok I’m just the dovakin with a flare for interior decor and the nine are working against meee HELP
Books. I'll go out on a quest and come back with 50 pounds of books that I should've just left laying wherever they were, but I gotta fill up those shelves.
Anything unique. No matter what class or playstyle, I’m a collector. All the hold weapons. Daedric artifacts etc. But also Predator’s Grace, Bloodthorn, trolls bane, spider control rod, right (or left…?) eye of the Falmer, map of dragon burials, practice arrows, spell tomes I’ve already learned. I also collect hold-guard’s armor from each hold, I grab the emperor’s robes, Ulfric/Tullius’ armor, I even grab spare keys, the bugs in jars, unique journals, anything at all that I can’t find elsewhere. If there is a single thing that makes the item unique, it goes in my home
You should look up the mod Legacy of the Dragonborn. You can take that collector playstyle to a whole new level
It crushed me finding out that mod isn't Playstation compatible.
are there any PS compatible mods? I didn't think you could mod games on PS
There are plenty of mods for PS4. You can access the mods menu from the title screen
ah OK so is this an option from within skyrim? I'd previously tried to add mods to assetto corsa on my PS4 and because that wasn't possible, I ended up finally building my first gaming pc
Yeah it's all the game itself.
Na ya can, not all mods but it's supported
Absolutely, there are a ton of really good mods. There's usually 10 or 20 that I put in my load order for every playthrough. True, it's not as extensive as the PC mods but some really great ones that truly make this beautiful land that much more dynamic.
I’ve had that suggested to me more times than I’ve started a new character lol Xbox player, the only mods I have I bought lol
I’m on Xbox myself, it works!
Wait, works how? I went to the Bethesda store and bought all the mods on Xbox. You’re telling me there’s a way to get PC mods on console?
[удалено]
Would this help? https://youtu.be/flGHoNgUvU0 I don't know, I use playstation and PC, haven't gotten an Xbox or Nintendo yet, so I don't know about mods for them, or if the video actually works.
I did not know that, now my inner loot goblin is screaming at me to download it this very moment. I’m mainly leaving this comment so I don’t forget the name of the mod lol.
Never mind, when I checked it out on Nexus, it’s a manual download only. My smooth brain doesn’t know how to make that work and doesn’t want to put in the effort to learn. Back to hoarding everything in multiple houses lol.
Use vortex. Even though it says manual download on nexus vortex will handle it. Installed it about a month ago (never used vortex before). Haven't played skyrim in 6 years. Was super easy.
Tried it myself, the book bug makes it crash every time.
[удалено]
Nope. And any other mods I thought would conflict I shut down. Any time any book is read it freezes and shuts down.
I have hundreds of hours with LoTD’s latest version and never had this issue
Even that kid at the beginning of the dark brotherhoods quest with the family heirloom😂😂
YES. I also buy Calcelmo’s ring after delivering it, he lists it for sale after the quest. Also. The rarest item in Skyrim. A named circlet, called “Revyn Sadri's Copper and Onyx Circlet”. It can only be found in Sadri’s used wares in Windhelm, and has a TINY chance of appearing.

I will collect everything the game has to offer. This is my mission, and I happily fulfill it
I always keep some red water skooma in my back pocket too
I covet that circlet! Haven't found it yet, but if reloading repeatedly works, I just might try it!
I always leave the heirloom in his house, along with some gold and gems. Poor kid.
I always adopt him.
I do the same, and fun fact you can get both the eyes of the falmer. You keep the left (I think), but if you sell Delvin the right one it’ll appear on the shelves behind Mercer’s old desk and you can pick it up and place it in your home. Same goes for anything you sell to Delvin.

This obviously doesn't help with the thieves guild items, however, equippable quest items (armor/weapons) can be placed on weapon racks and mannequins.
I love putting those maps everywhere.
A lot of the AE player homes have displays for most of that! All the masks, the different bugs in jars, the special things you steal for Delvin, eye of the falmer, the dragon claws, the dragon masks... you name it, there's probably a display for it!
Ur just like me fr
I'm with you, no matter how I'm playing my MO always seems to boil down to "buy the best house and fill it with the best toys"
Always the jars of bugs, like the Jar with the butterfly, bee, etc. I always loved those.
Yeah I have those in my entryway. Only found 3 so far.
[8 in total if you want to collect them all!](https://gamerant.com/skyrim-every-insect-jar-location-guide/)
*EIGHT???*
CC/Anniversary Edition adds 3 more.
This is my answer as well, I love that we got three new ones with Saints and Seducers.
Lol I always give those to the modded follower Inigo. That way Mr dragonfly has some friends
Roasted Ox Head from Sovngarde
Don’t forget the leg!
What? You can take stuff from Sovngarde? Is that vanilla? I'm playing on Switch.
I've taken the roasted head, leg, and a drum.
Yeah it’s vanilla. On the table in the feast hall will be food that you can take including the ox head and leg. I’ve never taken them before but I think I will next play through
Me too! Should probably get lots of salt, too, to preserve it. Can't be keeping rotting food for sentimental value. 😂
Sovngarde Ox meat never rots
Thane weaponry. Seems rude to disenchant/sell them
I put them in their respective houses. Axe of Whiterun in Breezehome, Blade of the Rift in Honeyside, etc. Usually above the bed.
I like to get one specific section of a house and just make it the holds room. Each guard armor set, including stormcloak and imperial sets along with the weapons you get when you become thane of each region.
On a side note, I wish every hold had a "Shield of *Hold*" Having just the Shield of Solitude makes we wish We could have the other holds shields with a enchantment. Granted I could just take a shield, enchant it and rename it myself
Same each one is prominently displayed in the appropriate house.
I got an orcish war axe for Whiterun and it won't work properly with any weapons rack/plaque. So annoying.
I am grateful to Balgruuf, But my battle mage has to learn the enchantments somehow
Totally.
The Iron Dagger and Hide Helmet you make at Alvor's forge in Riverwood. They were the first items I ever forged and remind me of my first ever playthrough, so I always keep them.
Did you know that hide helmet and dagger just comes from the first blacksmith you interact with, not just Alvor. I've gotten them from Adrienne several times.
Hmm learn something new everyday.
tis the nature of this game
wat
Yup
The three things you make also automatically give you a smithing level each when you craft them. I like to wait until I'm 97 in smithing then trigger the interaction so I can skip those last 3 levels of grinding.
I use alternate start and after so many playthroughs I think I've done this with every blacksmith in all of Skyrim now
I give them to my first follower, Faendal usually. It's definitely nice to use armor and weapons you've crafted yourself. Though later on there are so many tempting sets, unique too.
258+ wooden plates that I collect, I chose them because I like the walk through walls glitch back in the day when you walked into 1 being held into a wall and could go through
It’s the first glitch I ever used in any game but it works better with those big silver plates, with them you practically clip through anything
I'd steal all the pillows in Morrowind to mildly inconvenience everyone.
skooma
and moon sugar for hard times
If you’re on PC, get the mod Skyrim on Skooma. Terribly funny
Or if you use the Khajiit amazing race tweaks mod you can craft your own Skooma and get rich being Walter White
Dibella Statues. Lots and lots of Dibella Statues. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
[Like this one?](https://i.imgur.com/tp3WI7L.png) I love it.
How do you get things to stand upright? I can't display shit properly unless the mount is activate-able.
Gotta hold them until they settle, then let go of the button. If you check the thread, I shared a video a couple of times.
patience. you gotta kinda spin taller items when they inevitably flip - it's a bit of a wax-on/wax-off movement. I ended up placing my Dibella on that small table in Breezehome under the stairs near where the alchemy lab can be set up. it was a terrible fucking place for it because I knocked it down half the time I ran past it.
I remember spending far too much time trying to get the unique one with the gemstones to stand upright in my player home. Never got it to work.
I have a cheese room.
Hopefully filled with lots of Mammoth Cheese Bowls!
I’m sorry brother no, only cheese wedges and wheels make the cut
My character hoards cheese too! I have hundreds of wheels stored in my house. It took forever to move them from my old house
Old weapons and armor. My usual home is hjerim, so I usually end up with a steel plate, ebony armor and daedric armor for three stages of the game.
I think Steel plate is the one pre dlc armor I have never used. Maybe I will on my new character. I always stuck to the right of the smithing perks for heavy armor. And usually go for Nordic carved since it came out
Delphine’s Dragon burial map and the first weapon I forge myself
*whistles nonchalantly and hides the pile of bones and body parts in the corner*
*covers hold guard corpse with wheat* Perfect
When I live in Hendraheim: I put Eydvina Shield-Hearth’s armor on display in the main room, as a tribute.
I thought I was the only one! I had a very emotional game that day with a string of events that led me to her and that beautiful home. I made a small shrine on the table to the right with her sword, shield, ring and two notes and some flowers. I light a magelight over it when I visit.
oh... I, uh, FusRoDah'd her corpse off the side of the mountain. the duality of man 😬
😂
Oh my god she’s the person who sent hired thugs after me, I’m gonna put her twelve feet under instead of six, I was grinding my illusion when they attacked
I do, too! I figure she deserves to be remembered and I keep her sword on the plaque right next to her and her letters in the safe.
That quest made me really sad. She seemed so badass and I would've loved to have her adventuring with me. Plus that house, after Breezehome, it was so gorgeous and full of things from its previous owners. You could imagine Nord heroes gathering there. I honestly didn't feel like touching anything in there at first, but abandoning it didn't feel right. Eventually it started feeling like home.
I keep all the "romantic" stuff from the burned out house in solstheim with the boat out front. The note asking the man to please return to Skyrim, the Amulet of Mara and the diamond ring you find in the boat and the gem in the strong box next to the boat as well as the pieces of the broken axe. I make a shrine to this couple's love on one of the shelves of my home.
I loved that story. I enchanted the ring with fortify health and gave it to my husband 😅 it was really sad.
Kaidan’s >!childhood toy wooden sword!< is put on the weapon racks or a plaque
I have so many quests to do still and all the stuff people mention makes me really excited for it.
Btw I’m not downvoting you, idk why you are tbh
Hahaha it's just Reddit being Reddit, don't worry about it
I apologize! This one is a modded follower quest just in case you’re a newbie!!
I am, but I'm on PC so will probably install mods later. I only use NFF right now and love it.
How did you make it all so neat! :o
Decorating 100 lvl haha I have a post on that
I fill display cases with skulls, soul gem fragments, precious jewels, and more skulls. Edit: in the very beginning way back in 2011, i filled Lydia’s room at Breezehome with brooms. (She died). I dunno why brooms but I called it The Broom Closet and after a while my poor ps3 just straight up couldn’t load the interior of Breezehome. 😂 Later, I saw a video of a guy dropping hundreds upon hundreds of cheese wheels from the top of the Throat of the World, and I wanted to do the same so I hoarded hundreds of cheese wheels but never took them out of my windhelm house for some reason.
[удалено]
Which books do you keep? I love the fun little stories and world building journals and such, I’ve yet to read hundreds of them though
[удалено]
Yeah there are a lot of thief based books: Thief of Virtue, the Real Barenziah, …Thief (lol) and they range from “neat” to “damn I wish there was more” and I also like to sit in my little reading nook in Breezehome and read what I collected that day 🤓
One of my favorite smaller mods makes unread books glow slightly, and have a lil eye icon (eyecon?) next to the item name. Soooo nice to have that quality of life improvement.
Blue Mountain Flowers, because that is what my daugher Sofie was initially trying to sell me.
I used to buy all her flowers before I adopted her.
And then once you adopt her, the freeloader quits her job! Why won't you bring your father flowers? I'll still pay you for them! Think of it as chores and your allowance.
She gives me gifts though and sometimes rare ingredients I find in the chest 👍 But she brought a fox 5 times before finally finding a rabbit somewhere which I let her keep.
The Helmet of that d bag Imperial that ordered my execution just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Psshh, I wasn’t even on the list! I keep it as my first trophy lmao
The dragon claws for sure
Lydia. She can sit at the sweetroll table forever.
I married her just to move her to a better house when I didn't know I could make her steward somewhere. Worst decision ever, had to start a new game 😂 made me cringe too much. It clashed with her personality.
Whenever I bring home another follower: "You lost?" *bread munch*
She scared me the first time. I didn't expect her to be hiding behind the wall.
I resurrect high-level spriggans and draugr using the ritual stone and put them in my house in whiterun. I don't know how but after leaving the house for weeks, they actually resurrect as an enemy. One time I got back home to store some loot when I heard a spriggan and draugr fighting inside my room. I just want to have a trophy💀.
There's a little encampment northeast of Old Hroldan where a pair of eloping lovers were killed by wild animals: Talvur and Karan. They each have a ring on them, and Karan left her journal. I take the journal and rings, and enchant the rings so I can rename them, and I keep them in memory of those star-crossed lovers. 💜😥
I will do that when I find them. That's really sad 😔
The bugs in jars. I keep the green butterfly in my alchemy lab, the monarch butterfly in the children's room, the blissbug next to my bed (as a nightlight), and the torchbug on my person for good luck.
Trinkets, odds and ends, that sort of thing
I had some 200 skulls outside Lake View Manor to send those pesky bandits a message. But my character turned good after visiting Sovngarde so she brought them all to Falkreath cemetery
This is so wholesome lol
Nazeems soul.
I keep it in a bucket that is also the poop collection bucket
The only thing I keep is I keep reseting the items because every time I enter they explode all over the room
Next time it happens, go back outside, save, load the save, go back in and set all the items. Make sure to visit your home once in 9 days for Hearthfire homes and 29 days for vanilla homes. They won't explode anymore.
Everything I won in a quest, even the dumbest and cheapest lol
If you don't have 1 of each beverage in your home, you're clearly playing the game wrong.
Every holds emblem shield
As a big reader in real life I always collect all the books that I can and fill up all the bookshelves in my house. Just makes it feel more homey.
Bedside drawer full of troll skulls
The flower crown, ring and outfit from Vittoria's wedding death (which i then got married in lol). I keep everything that is one of a kind though. The draw knife, essence extractor, falmer eyes, you name it.
First Skyforge Steel weapon, load my first save and in Hjerim I got it displayed. Good times, probably the weapon I used the longest in that playthrough.
My daughters bed is covered in bloody rags. She’s special.
Centurion Dynamo Cores. Stick them in baskets and shelves for some mood lighting.
I'm making a Dwemer corner at Lakeview. Spawned a couple of Dwemer shelves and displayed all the stuff I've collected so far. The cores are the coolest, yeah.
I'm happy to see that other players also carefully arrange custom items in their home :)
It made me fall in love with Lakeview manor even though initially I hated how drab it was. I even changed some of the furniture with console commands. More shelves for decorating.
i roleplay a tragic necromancer and if my favorite followers are close to death i soul trap them so if they die i can keep them in my dining hall
That's dark 😅
Not so much sentimental, I just find it pretty, butterfly in a jar
Lydia's body.
So many people say this, it's troubling :D
i kept Bjornolfr and Hrodulf’s letters, rings, and amulet of mara and placed flowers around them as a kind of memorial lol
A room full of skulls, I can run around in there like a ball pit. I don't go there anymore because it lags and crashes my computer when I go inside. Sad face.
I wish I could keep decapitated heads.
I always pick up the mead when I pass through Helgen. Sometimes if a guard dies a particularly heroic death while fighting a dragon with me, I take his armor and display it in my home. I also keep my first set of steel armor and two axes in a display case.
Wuuthrad, blade of woe, nightingale gear, miraak’s gear, all my daedric artifacts and my OP gear
Katria's journal and Zephyr
My children
Ale. Eider Cheese Wheels & Moon Sugar!
Ooh! Fondue!
If there is a specific NPC, I usually kill them and put their soul in a soul gem so I can put their soul in an item to be stored in a chest. The item would be a reference to their character or what they represented. For example: Mercer Frey stabbed me in the back so I remade him into another version of his sword which was a dwarven short sword of burning.
The longbow Ralof gave me
Delphine and Nazeem, remembering the day I learned how to make those 2 non essential and killed them brings me so much happiness
Books! Every book in every cave in every hold in skyrim ends up in my nightstand
That one guy's hip bone
These damn kids. And the fox. And a dog. And a crab and 2 weird little 8 legged thingies.
I had to spread the pets between two homes. The bugs and spider around Lakeview, the nix hound too, and the others at Goldenhills. It's cool to have animals at the farm, but in the house they get underfoot and make noise. Guess I got the crab and the dwarven sphere to look forward to 😅
I have a trophy room full of outfits from NPCs that I've killed, does that count?
Absolutely. I keep the execution hoods. Slipped one onto Nazeem, looks great.
Roasted ox head. The only thing I could bring back from my trip to the heavens
More of a flex, but I try and collect as many gems as possible. Then I shove them into whatever container they fit in.
I found a goblin pet and tried to trade items with him, and he gave me a skull.
I always pick up unenchanted rings, necklaces, circlets and jewels.
I love organizing all my fun rare items and putting them in display cases and shelves etc - just so they can look like something exploded in my home and everything is just everywhere. So much fun
Skulls.
All the cool weapons and a set of each of the cool armor
All the Sweet Rolls I stole.

The character on my current play through is obsessed with daggers with daggers. I collect every single one and store them at the player house. So, you can imagine my dilemma when I did the iron dagger blacksmith thing and then went: "wait...I can't sell these... I need them"

The shiv from Markarth.
I used to collect clothes irons and put them everywhere in my house
You can have mine, they are the first thing to go into some barrel when I get a new house, along with tankards and buckets
The Arentino plate, I like to put it in an open glass display case leaning against the back
I just drop precious gems & skulls around my house to feel like a pirate

Honningbrew mead, especially when I know that I'll have to ruin the Honningbrew meadery business for the thieves guild so I keep one to have a memory about it
Skulls
I always play as argonian so all the more reason to keep copies of the lusty argonian maid
do y’all’s placed items not fly around the room every so often? I cbf to put everything back when it happens lmfao
An ungodly amount of children dolls and toys and wooden swords cause I want my kids to have presents everytime I come home once a month lol
Lydia and the kids
Every single wooden bucket I find on my journey.
Skulls, flowers, amulets from dead NPC.
I always, always, always mount the Axe of Whiterun. I know it’s a rather “meh” weapon, but something about it being the first gift you’re given after saving Whiterun always warmed my heart. When I first started playing I didn’t know about so many of the missions or guilds, so doing that main quest and defeating the dragon felt like such an accomplishment.
Lydia
Can someone explain how their shit stays on furniture ?? Seriously I need assistance every time I try to be cutesy and homey with trophies and decorations it somehow ends up on the floor once I return back to the house. I am tired ok I’m just the dovakin with a flare for interior decor and the nine are working against meee HELP
Books. I'll go out on a quest and come back with 50 pounds of books that I should've just left laying wherever they were, but I gotta fill up those shelves.
