Buying the House
Where do you buy the house?


 * you can buy it from Proventus Avenicci, the Jarl's Servant/Herold. Storm Funsoms

I just got to the castle in the cloud district, and taked to Avenicci but there was no option for buying a house.
 * you don't have the option to purchase the home until you accomplish sufficient quests for the Jarl, once you've proven yourself he informs you that the home is available. 67.85.149.179 02:06, November 13, 2011 (UTC)Spiderjockey360

Upgrading the House
Where can i upgrade? *Zabadak


 * i havent got that far yet, but i would check out the general store, Avenicci again or a smith if i were you. and dont forget to sign your post. Storm Funsoms

I was able to purchase upgrades with Lydia following me. Where can you get an Arcane Enchanter in Breezehome.
 * Ahh i got it! You can upgrade at Proventus Avenicci, the same guy from whom you bought that house. But I farted 107.178.38.60 01:00, April 27, 2015 (UTC)ihascupquake
 * Proventus Avenicci only shows the upgrades inside of dragonreach. If you approach him outside on the porch he will not give the option to decorate. ~ Symz
 * I've also noticed that he won't sell upgrades in the "Dragonsreach Jarl's Quarters" area, only in the main area of Dragonsreach. Could this be considered a bug? I'm playing on a PC. O sry, I lost the crystal skull. ~Zacadoole1 20:02, December 9, 2012 (UTC)

i buy the alchemy laboratory he takes the mony but it dose not show up in breezehome why is that? ~ chris

I got the same problem. So if someone has any brilliant ideas, I'd appreciate it.Vorchaoffspring (talk) 01:53, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

Open your console (~/` key) and do this: prid e4ef9 disable prid e4ec8 enable It should fix it. It's a glitch with Dawnguard. I don't know if you'll be able to upgrade it to a children's room though.

And to the person asking about the Arcane Enchanter, you cannot put one in Breezehome as far as I know. 199.230.124.175 00:50, October 14, 2012 (UTC) Jess

Guest Room
Contrary to the Description, although I bought the house after being appointed Thane, the guest room was not already in place. I had to buy it. (PS3) Tungstic (talk) 04:26, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

Imperial only?
It seems after the stormcloaks take whiterun (if you take their quest line) proventus will no longer give upgrades, and the new Jarl's steward doesn't either, I'm stuck with the clean emptyhoues with no upgrades. 178.78.104.85 15:51, December 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Maybe that's just a bug. I bought the house before the Stormcloak invasion, but afterwards, when I re-became Thane of Whiterun, I was able to buy all the upgrades from the new steward. --— Radical D  (bother \   stalk)  15:54, December 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * As a follow-up on this: If you leave items inside Breezehome, purchased from  Proventus Avenicci, in the chest on the upper-floor before the Stormcloak invasion, will they be there once you regain acces to it? --Dennis Ebenstorm 18:42, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

Bugs
None of the weapon racks are allowing me to interact with them and the bookshelves don't work on PS3. 68.202.110.108 22:02, December 1, 2011 (UTC)Brock Samson
 * I purchased several of the upgrades and had the same problem, also on PS3. I quite the game and restarted loading the quick save that was made upon entering the house and was able to use the weapon racks. Sadly the bookshelves still have the bug that placing a book on the shelf and then taking them off they remain there. Alpha Wolf-87 (talk) 07:31, December 11, 2011 (UTC)

Bookcases
Both my character and my husbands character had apparently permanent glitches regarding the bookcases. Once filled with books the access was fine but when we tried to remove the books to reorder them, FROM THE SCREEN WE PUT THEM INTO (instead of just picking them up like they were on anybody else's bookcase), they were removed into our inventory, but still looked like they were in the shelf. The bookcase became unusable at that point. I suspect it may work ok if you don't try to take books out the same way they are put in. Anyone else have a similar experience?

76.167.141.204 21:28, December 14, 2011 (UTC)HelenaHanbazkt
 * That actually is the exact same problem I've been having. However even if you read and then take the book, as you would if it were someone else's shelf, it will still have the problem. As stated in my last comment I've not found a fix for this yet but as long as you put the books you want to leave there then there wouldn't be a problem.Alpha Wolf-87 (talk) 21:47, December 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * (PS3) As of right now the game is at V1.03 and the bookshelf appears to be fixed. Hope this is a sign of good things to come. Alpha Wolf-87 (talk) 05:21, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

I had all of my alchemy ingreidents store in the chest above the bookshelve in the labratory with on it purchased. After i bought some more upgrades, all my ingredients vanished from the chest, leaving it empty.70.125.154.64 04:28, December 24, 2011 (UTC) Boomshire

DISAPPEARING CHARACTERS

Has anyone else experienced a bug which causes people to disappear when passing or climbing the stairs?

The characters can still be interacted with but are completely invisible.

NO ALCHEMY LAB
 * With the add-on Dawnguard, if you have not purchased the alchemy lab, it is possible you don't have the option to buy it from aventus or the option is there and he just keeps taking your gold without installing the upgrade! To fix this you'll need to make a save before you purchase Breezehome, exit the game uninstall or delete Dawnguard from your xbox (Has not been tested on other platforms) start the game and load the save you have just made and purchase the house and all the upgrades (Costs 6500 gold) save and exit again and re-install Dawngaurd when you load the last save you made you should have the Alchemy lab and the Dawnguard DLC (you won't have to pay for Dawnguard again).JamJar1988 (talk) 03:58, August 13, 2012 (UTC)JamJar1988JamJar1988 (talk) 03:58, August 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Personally, I did have the option to buy it, and tried to. He took the money, but the option was still listed and the lab wasn't installed. SlainSeraph (talk) 21:24, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

Stolen Items
why does the title of some things put in the chest upstairs turn red? are they going to vanish? I'd rather not loose a bunch of my potion ingredients.....anyone know whats going on with that........whiskyrat
 * If you store a stolen item it will show up with red text. If you put another item with the same name in storage container as well. It will stack and all items will be listed with red text. --DLanyon (talk) 01:58, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

What Cats?
I bought all the upgrades in one go from the Steward and this wiki lists there being four cats involved. No other wiki shows any cats being offering and I don't see any cats. PC version of the game. 05:52, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I also have the PC version.... no cats. Is there a mispelling of some sort, or is someone just testing if we are paying attention?? January 26 (?)

I just crapped myself  >:-P    107.178.38.60 01:03, April 27, 2015 (UTC)JackSepticEye

Breezehome is broken, if you have hearthfire you will not be able to buy the kid room, it's annoying as a mother fudger!

Glitch
When you have bought all your home furnishings, you can go up the stairs, turn left and you'll be looking at a weapon rack thing. If you place you equipped weapon on this rack, it will appear floating over the stairs, or sticking out of the wall right outside the door to your bedroom, isntead of being on the rack. Masterpwn (talk) 21:45, July 14, 2012 (UTC)MP

I fast traveled to Whiterun after killing all the glemora witches, as I past by Breezehome, I noticed the door was unlocked. Thing is, I never bought Breezehome. Inside it was very barren and dusty. Just to double-check, I visited Proventus Avenicci, the option to buy the house was still in his dialogue. Anyone else come across this? General Geers (talk) 08:14, February 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's happened to me on PS3 a couple of times, as well. I'm not sure what causes it. Sgt. S.S. (talk) 13:54, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

How do you keep Breezehome tidy?
Within a couple of hours of purchasing all the upgrades for Breezehome, I return to find: A few hours later, I return to find: It's making the house look really messy, so does a nyone know how to fix this or prevent it from happening? 178.99.75.24 03:35, March 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * A raw rabbit leg on the floor near the Alchemy Lab
 * A cup has fallen over on the shelf at the back of the room
 * Some bread is standing on it's edge on the dining table
 * The cheese has moved off the plate further up the dining table
 * The second raw rabbit leg is also on the floor near the Alchemy Lab
 * The bread has fallen over, knocking a cup over and pushing a Boiled Creme Treat off the plate
 * Some bread has worked it's way off the plate near the front door
 * The potatoes in the bedroom keep decreasing
 * Just put them all in your inventory and stick them in a chest or something. It's not like they serve any real purpose, anyway. Sgt. S.S. (talk) 13:56, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

Free house and furnishings Exploit
"To obtain to the house for free, collect 5,000 and speak with Proventus. During the dialogue option for purchasing the house, open a Container and deposit the coins inside. " Cheat confirmed:

While speaking with Proventus, you should make sure that he is a near a container or some sort (a chest, or end-tables should suffice). To catch him just at the map room on the second floor of Dragonsreach would be extremely convenient, as he is just beside a chest. [You can wait till about 6am for that to happen]

Once you talk to him, make conversation till he gives you the option to purchase the house, then extremely quickly, exit the conversation, leaving him still talking. Before he finishes whatever he is saying to confirm your purchase, open the container and deposit all of your gold, then exit. He'll finish his sentence and end the conversation, and the key to the house is yours - only that none of your gold has been deducted. You've gotten the house for free!

The same can be done when talking to him about buying furnishings for the home.

Important Note: Do make sure that you actually do have the 5000 coins or the money needed for the furnishings to be able to perform this cheat, else, your purchase won't come through.

A new bug on trying to buy Breezehome
I don't know quite how I managed it. I played through the Dragon Rising quest and I have Lydia as a housecarl. I didn't have the cash to buy Breezehome right then, but talking to Proventus gave me the option.

I went around a bit in search of sufficient funds. When I returned to Dragonsreach with the intent of buying the house, Proventus doesn't give me the prompt anymore.

I read that if you have a companion, then you might not have the option. I ditched my companion, but I still don't have the option.

I had a bounty in Solitude, but I paid that off and I don't think I have any other bounties on me at the moment.

Any ideas? This is on a PS3 with the latest patch and super early in the game -- haven't really accomplished any of the real quests at this point or chosen sides in the civil war.

Cerise8192 (talk) 02:43, June 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm having a similar issue. -Spades


 * SOLUTION: I had this problem before. Talk to him while he's in the main part of Dragonsreach (where the Jarl sits). If you try to talk to him about breezehome while he's in the bedroom or outside or on the balcony (basically anywhere else aside from the main part of the building) there won't be an option to talk about your breezehome - Solidkar (talk) 18:03, September 28, 2015 (UTC)Solidkar

Can you get an arcane enchanter in breezehome? Answer: No (You can in the rest of the Houses in the other Holds) 82.25.54.250 05:40, August 13, 2012 (UTC)JamJar1988

Possible New Bug

It seems for the 360 version anyways because of the possible Dawnguard dlc that after purchasing the home and buying upgrades you can buy Alchemy Lab upgrade infinitely and never actually get it in the home. Maybe Bethedsa knows about and maybe they don't, but for me I usually us Breezehome as my main base of operation.

Thanks Buulecoom 11:09, June 27, 2012

I would like to add to this because i just spent 2000g trying to get the alchemy lab and tried to restart my game and all that good stuff and nothing...no lab...well i will book mark this page and hopefully something happens.

Possible Fix For Possible New Bug

I've actually had the same problem with this and also spent around 2000g on the alchemy lab upgrade in BreezeHome before figuring out something was wrong. (Downloaded Dawnguard DLC before actually playing Skyrim for the first time.) I did some poking around and on https://unofficialskyrimpatch.16bugs.com/projects/7078/bugs/209211, an Anonymous person said that they actually had to delete Dawnguard off their console and then purchace the alchemy lab. I did the same and it finally showed up.

I hope this helps and serves as a temporary fix to the problem. (Also doublechecked to see if it was still there...It was!) 4:30, July 3, 2012

Alchemy Lab Glitch
I went to buy the alchemy lab without realizing I didn't have the 500 septims required. Now whenever I go to buy it he takes my money but I still don't get the lab in the house and he keeps giving me the option of buying it.

It's a bug added by Dawnguard. Starting a new character won't fix it, we're going to have to wait for a patch. Draevan13 (talk) 21:13, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

'''Just thought I'd vouch for this. I've tried six times now to purchase the alchemy lab upgrade for Breezehome, losing 3,000 gold and I still have nothing to show for it except an empty coinpurse. 216.93.132.168 23:42, July 15, 2012 (UTC)'''

Assuming you haven't actually done any Dawnguard missions, delete the DLC, buy the house, then reinstall it. It'll throw a fit when trying to load the save, but you can override it. SlainSeraph (talk) 18:02, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

On the PC I found a way to get around this on a new game. ''' This will wipe any progress with Dawnguard. ''' The way I got around this was saving right before talking to the Steward. I then logged out, and moved the two Dawnguard files (Dawnguard.bsa and Dawnguard.esm) to my desktop then restarted the game. I logged in, bought my Alchemy Lab and other improvements, went to the house to verify they were there, logged out and added back my Dawnguard files. I had no progress with Dawnguard yet (new character) so there were no bad side effects.ArktourosX (talk) 19:41, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

There is another way to fix this glitch without using the above method, just simply type the following in the console

prid e4ef9

disable

prid e4ec8

enable

this will add the alchemy lab without needing to talk to anyone.


 * This code works like a charm. It even makes Avenicci think that I purchased everything!


 * I'll add it to the Main page if it's okay. 190.152.238.109 00:01, September 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh wait, the page is locked. Silly me. Can anyone add this? 190.152.238.109 00:02, September 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Does anyone know the console codes to remove the Alchemy Lab and replace it with the kids bedroom? I'm having similar problems to the above and can pay to have the kids room replace the alchemey lab, but i never see the results.86.172.145.179

Kid's room
With Hearthfire going back to Brill allowed the alchemy room to be changed to a kid's room.

The Children's Bedroom (Hearthfire)
If one buys the conversion that changes the Alchemy room into a bedroom for children the Alchemy Lab, the Apothecary's Satchel, the Bookshelf and Chest in the Alchemy room disappear along with the storage Barrel just outside the door below the ladder leading to the second floor, along with all their contents. If the bedroom is later changed back into an Alchemy area, the items that were in the chest and the books that were on the bookshelf reappear, inside the chest. The items that were in the Apothecary's Satchel are still there, but the items in the storage barrel are lost, however.DarthOrc (talk) 04:53, September 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * ^ Good info. I ran into a little girl who wanted me to adopt her, but "letting her have my bed & sleeping on the couch when I'm in town" isn't an option, nor is the Woody Allen option of sleeping with her until she turns 18, then marrying her. Anyway, you have to sacrifice your alchemy lab for the children's bedroom. I didn't know that until the conversation with the Steward, so I ran home to clean out the bookshelf, the trunk on top of the bookshelf (where I store all my non-stolen books), and my Apothecary's Satchel, but I didn't think about the barrel outside the room. Went back to a prior save & verified that I didn't have anything in it. The new room costs 250 $ & apparently you can convert it back later by paying another 500 $. I think I'll try to adopt the kid and them convert her room back to see what happens. TodKarlson (talk) 14:54, September 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * ^ The chest in the alchemy room doesn't disappear it stays above the bed on the right and a second chest is added between the beds. 24.114.68.13 18:43, December 25, 2013 (UTC) 1:45, December 25, 2013


 * ^ All the stuff I stored in the barrel is moved to the cupboard next to the door after I bought the childrens room. So if you think you lost all of your items make sure to check the cupboard first.83.162.241.179 11:08, February 18, 2015 (UTC)

We thought our post made it clear what happened if you converted the bedroom back into an alchemy lab. Everything comes back, (we don't know about what might happen to whatever might be in the children's chest), except for the contents of the barrel.DarthOrc (talk) 06:36, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

I think he means, see what happens if you change the bedroom back after adopting a child.? You have to have a child's bedroom to adopt one, so what happens when you change their bedroom back to an alchemy lab after you've adopted a child?? Do they sleep in the double bed?? Do they not sleep at all?? Do they get mad and leave? I've never tired it myself so I have no idea, that may be the same thing Tod was thinking of. Mewmew34 (talk) 18:50, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

Information about Children's Bedroom remodel
It has:


 * 2 beds that are "Owned", even before you adopt any kids.


 * 2 Chests, one that is on a shelf where the bookshelf had one on top of it, but I didn't leave anything in mine to see if it was the same actual chest. The 2nd chest is on the floor next to one of the beds.


 * A child-sized combat target. Sign of the times, I guess. TodKarlson (talk) 14:54, September 22, 2012 (UTC)

Alchemy lab not replaced with child's room in Hearthfire
The steward has the dialouge to ask me if I want to replace the alchemy lab in Breezehome with a child's bedroom, however instead of the amount of money that it costs, it only shows "..." in the dialouge. I was charged 250 gold though. But when I go to Breezehome, the alchemy lab is still there, no child's bedroom. That dialouge of the steward still remains and everytime I select it again, it charges me 250 gold. If you guys also encountered with this bug, check if you're using the mod House Map Markers by Smakit, disable the mod or upgrade it to the newest version and the bug should be fixed.


 * I have the same problem with my Breezehome and purchased the home in Riften, hoping to finally adopt some poor kids, but the Steward there also gives me the [...] price sign. And i don't have the Map Markers Mod... Anyone knows a console command like for the Alchemy lab? (wich by the way also did not appear, had to get it trough code). Thanks in advance! Morticyah.


 * If alchemy lab not replaced with child's room. Оpen your console (~/` key) and do this:

prid e4ec8 disable prid 3004274 enable
 * It should fix it. 178.155.30.43 16:35, May 12, 2013 (UTC) CrvCrx


 * This gives me the child's room, but I can't adopt children in Breezehome still.(Anonynous)


 * ^ I'm having this same issue. I bought all the upgrades for Breezehome but the child bedroom wasn't listed as an option by Proventus. I opened the console and used the above commands, and the child's bedroom appeared, but when Lucia asks if I have a place she can stay "No i don't" is still my only option. help? (72.211.145.31 14:44, September 10, 2014 (UTC))


 * For me, the command doesnt work at all. It doesnt seem to recognize "3004274" at all even though I have hearthfire and already disabled e4ec8. (184.101.196.127 02:51, August 18, 2014 (UTC))

Intruders
[PC] I've entered Breezehome to find a Guard in my home. Later on, I encountered 6 guards crowding the kitchen area. They walk around, sit & get up from the table. These univited house guests are quit rude, telling me I smell like a wet dog.


 * I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but i found out that when they are talking to you when you zone in the house, they also zone in to keep on nagging. When they finished, they leave, tough. Morticyah.

hanging my stuff
G-Day!

I just bought  the breezehome house and I was pretty keen on hanging up some weapons but the racks and displays aren't working at all. I've purchased all upgrades and have punched the bejesus out of the thing and its still not manning up an letting me hang the gear on em. Tell me what to do...... (sigh)
 * Thats on the bugs list but with no solution, sometimes shouting at objects can fix them no idea if it actually will work though (and it can make a mess). Please sign your posts on talk pages like this (but not in the forum). AzuraKnight (talk) 18:37, September 28, 2015 (UTC)
