Whenever people talk about their dream shops, I always wonder why no-one wants a place from Skyrim. I got the Hearthfire ad-on where you could build a longhouse and design it to have display rooms for armour and weapons, plus all the making areas like a forge, kitchen, and enchantment table! Thats what I'm down for! 😁 Show off your weapons and armour Red!
