Cellar

A fully furnished cellar.

Main article: Homestead (Hearthfire)

A Cellar is an optional basement section that can be added beneath the Main Hall of a homestead, introduced in Hearthfire. It can be created at any or all of the three homesteads.

Interactions

After the cellar is crafted, it can be accessed using the floor trap door located at the small back room of the main hall. The cellar may be subject to random skeever infestations from time to time. If there are adopted children present, they will speak of being afraid to go into the cellar if skeevers are there.

Furnishings

Divine shrines

The following is a list of all furnishings that can be added to a cellar. Furnishings can be built manually at the indoor workbench, this is the only way to furnish the cellar; the steward does not offer to help by purchasing them for you.

All furnishings are fixed in position and cannot be removed once they are built. The name of the furnishing option does not always accurately describe what will be added, as in some cases additional containers and accessories may be added, along with the main piece of furniture. These exceptions are too minor to list. The most important and difficult thing to fully construct inside the cellar is the Shrine Base with all the divine shrines on them.

Trivia

• If the child's practice dummy is built, adopted children may come down eagerly to the cellar to practice their fighting skills once they are given a weapon such as a wooden sword or any kind of dagger.
• If a child accidentally hits someone or a pet with an enchanted weapon during their practice, the victim can get hurt. (A pet may even be killed.)
• Shelves near the forge may spawn one quicksilver, one corundum, and two iron ores, from time to time.

Bugs

This section contains bugs related to Cellar. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following: Please reload an old save to confirm if the bug is still happening. If the bug is still occurring, please post the bug report with the appropriate system template  360  /  XB1  ,  PS3  /  PS4  ,  PC  /  MAC  ,  NX  /  PS5  ,  XS  , depending on which platform(s) the bug has been encountered on. Be descriptive when listing the bug and fixes, but avoid having conversations in the description and/or using first-person anecdotes: such discussions belong on the appropriate forum board.

•  PC   360   PS3   If Roggvir's Amulet of Talos has been looted, all Amulets of Talos are marked as quest items (meaning they cannot be removed from the inventory) for the bug-ridden miscellaneous quest to convince Greta to return to the Temple of the Divines. This may make it impossible to construct a Shrine of Talos.
  •  360   A work-around for this bug is to construct the Shrine of Talos before talking to Greta in Solitude.
  •  360   The quest can be completed normally, but will not provide a reward or remove the Amulet of Talos. It will, however, be no longer marked as a quest item and can be dropped, sold, or used to construct the Shrine of Talos.
• The mannequin might duplicate armor.
  •  360   This bug has been fixed for Xbox.
•  360   PS3   The lights on the right side of the first room may fail to light up.
•  360   The lights on the wooden beam in the center of the first room will not produce any light until the two lights on the opposite wall next to the ladder are built.
•  PC   The Shrine of Akatosh may show that it is missing a flawless amethyst even if the player has one in their inventory.
