The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Hearthfire is the second downloadable content add-on for the action role-playing open world video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The game was developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. The Xbox 360 version of Hearthfire launched on September 4, 2012. It was released on Microsoft Windows via Steam on October 5, 2012. It was released for the PlayStation 3 on February 19, 2013 in North America and February 20, 2013 in Europe.
Hearthfire revolves around acquiring and improving land, allowing the player to build and customize their own home. The add-on also introduced adoption, giving players the option of adopting up to two children to live with them in their personal home.
Hearthfire allows the player character to purchase a plot of land and build their own home from raw materials such as lumber and clay, with the option of adding features such as greenhouses, bee hives, and alchemy and enchanting facilities. There are three homesteads the player can build: Lakeview Manor (east of Falkreath), Windstad Manor (northeast of Morthal), and Heljarchen Hall (south of Dawnstar). There are options to hire stewards to look after the home, carriage drivers for quick transportation, and a personal bard. Hearthfire also introduces the option to raise a family by adopting children. In addition, previously bought pre-built homes can be altered to have a children's bedroom added into them.
Hearthfire was released on September 4, 2012 for Xbox 360, and October 4, 2012 on PC. Due to performance issues, the PlayStation 3 version of Hearthfire was delayed and later released on February 19, 2013.
