You need a steward(nearly any follower when you own a plot will have the option to be your steward) and ask them to make improvements to the house.
EDIT: also be prepared for your cows/chicekns to get owned by giants/bandits/wolves/other stuff

Is it bad to have 10+ mods that just solve simple problems like non killable generals?

Bethesda needed to add a 'Hardcore' mode with harder stuff in it. Hunger, thirst, kill anyone, that type of stuff. Of course though, it'd probably end up being banned in Germany and Australia.

What some people call hardcore, other people call useless feature overkill. Just saying - Remember when they added Hunger to that blocky game?

uh, yeah, it made total sense and was a long time coming..................

Lydia is such a dumbass

I gave her a special helmet to protect her brain from further damage.

"Be careful!"
"What are you doing?"
"I'm on your side!"

I fus ro dah'd her off the area infront of High Hrothgar and she managed to die. Or at least get stuck or something, cuz I never saw her again on that character.

On my more recent skyrim-dovahkiin character stuff, I just ran right by her.

On my roleplay character, Lydia technically doesn't exist yet cuz I haven't done any 'DRAGONZ" quests, not even talking to the lady in Riverwood. (I'm an imperial by heart, but it's a roleplay character and he's a nord.)

Followers can die if they are damaged a ton or continue to be damaged while recovering.

Anyone have any cash? If someone gifts me Dawnguard I would be really grateful.

One of the huge faults in Bethesda games is that they dont allow you to do "Anything", even though it is an open world RPG. An example would be that you cant kill people who are "Important" to the storyline or other quests.

Because it'd be game-breaking?

I mean you could potentially surround a game around a completely choice-oriented story line, but you don't see a lot of games even attempt it. GTA, AC, etc all keep important characters in cut scenes and end the mission if you kill them. Skyrim just doesn't allow you to do stupid stuff with their main-story line, yet they give you tons of choices when it comes to other crap.

The whole point of an RPG is to develop your character, fight, progress through a story, and usually explore a large world while making choices that can affect the progression of the story. Not to simulate the life of a psychopath.

It wouldnt be game-breaking, it would probably make the game a whole hell of a lot more fun if you could do what you wanted. If I wanted to kill Ulfric Stormcloak, they should let me skip all the rebellion stuff and let me kill him. How do you make it fair? You make it hard as forget to kill him. Would it break the game? No. I remember my first playthrough, I had joined the Imperials, and after about 5-6 quests in I figured it would be fun if I could go ahead and kill the man himself. So, I walked in and kicked his ass, but what happened? He just fell to his knees. Why shouldnt I be allowed to kill him?

Also, I should point out that the Fallout series allows you to do this, and its just fine.
