Part 10: Happy Families—Spouse and Children

Complete your bliss with a doting spouse and adopted child.

The sprawling Lakeview Manor, with residents, including wife and children.

There’s no point in crafting a rambling mansion without someone to share it with! Aside from your Steward, Housecarl, bard, carriage driver, and livestock, you can further improve your life by getting married, adopting a child, and asking your family to move in alongside you.

Spouse: Complete Temple Quest: The Bonds of Matrimony. Once married, be sure your house has a bed in it (a small house is fine, but a main hall or furnished bedroom also works). Then tell your wife or husband to join you at your house, and they move there. Switch to a different abode as you wish.

Adopted Children: Complete Hearthfire Quest: Adoption. Once you wish to have a child in your care, be sure your house has a main hall or bedroom addition furnished with two single beds and a dresser. This satisfies the requirements for adoption. Then you (or your spouse) can tell the child to move to the house. How the little tyke behaves in your abode relates to the Adoption Quest.
