I used mods to turn Skyrim into a farming simulator, then lived a simpler life.
Enjoy this modded playthrough where I rebuild Heljarchen Farm and turn it into a thriving farming business. Inspired by Stardew Valley, I wanted to make this a mixture of farming, business operations, and rural living. And I threw in some cute animals, because why not?
The core mod used is Heljarchen Farm Revamped, which is available at the Nexus link listed below. This is a really cool mod that's quite highly polished, and I had never played through it before! It pairs great with other mods that amplify the rural farming feel of Whiterun hold, and Cutting Room Floor, which adds the planned Heljarchen village back into the game that was cut from the official release.

Reincarnation is my favorite school of magic. I'm loving my new home!!!
LOL thanks Joov!
Collab when
pog good to see you Joov :)
Joov! The legend of ridiculous bethesda chalanges is here
YES JOOV YEEEEEESSSSSS
There's a mod called "my home is your home" that lets you mark any cell as a player home, so your wife & kids can move in.
I believe MHIYH only works for followers, right? Hearthfires Multiple Adoptions lets you mark modded homes as a family home, but only if they're compatible with the right structure, which Heljarchen Farm unfortunately is not.
@@FormerlyBlue that can be worked around with any of the follower mods though, iirc AFT and EFF have a "force follower" feature.
It's not YET. Someone will make it so multiple adoptions is compatible
There is another mod like this but i forgot the name
@@KittyMeow2931
Is EFF any good?
I always use RDO and AFT together for my followers. I've seen EFF but never used it.
Bro turned 18 and within a month has a sprawling business and a lovely wife.

The secret is hard work and dedication, better strap in if you want that maiden.@@aex_the_hurt
He turned 18 got married, functionally divorced/ long distance relationship, denied custody of children, built a farming empire, became a crazy cat lad.
What a journey indeed!
"This is why I hate video games, they appeal to this male fantasy"
@@imoutoconnoisseurthe fantasy of homeownership!
And that's why it's a fantasy rpg!
One of the things windmills do is use the wind as energy turn big round stones inside of them to grind grain into flour. You can see this in some parts of Skyrim where they are hollowed out.
I never realized the stone turning was powered by the turbine part! Good comment.
Can't believe you didn't know such an obvious thing. You're clearly american.
@@albertocarlosbustos9892Americans have been using windmills for centuries… 😅
@albertocarlosbustos9892 mate Americans have used these for centuries he just doesn't know this because he isn't a farmer (and not everyone googles random facts that have nothing to do with their life or job) or around in THE 15TH CENTURY in fact you could say this about people from any country that isn't a first world country so you're "clearly American" comment is also false he could be from well anywhere in Europe for all you know (yeah he has an American accent so he IS from America specifically north (im pretty sure) but I'm making a point here)
@@Dovah_Slayer lmao
My favorite part was Blue effectively divorcing his wife as soon as he became successful and taking all the cats with him
This is actually pretty good. No deep and confusing lore, no over the top combat, no half-naked people around every corner, no Thalmor patrol killings, and no Nazeem punching, and its still one of the best videos of Skyrim I've seen this year.
I gotta say. Been subbed since the first apocalypse video. And this guy is making content as if he has done this for years. I just know this channel is going to explode soon
Thanks, glad you're enjoying!
@@FormerlyBlue glad youre growing so quickly man. You deserve it
Second that
Huh, a Skyrim playthrough without loads of combat and it's still fun to watch! Gotta say man, I really do hope you grow big if this is the type of stuff you'll be putting out
Your support helps us get BEEG!
Fun to watch because he's cut out a lot of the long, boring, grindy parts.
He turned 18 and got a wife and thriving business already. He's truly living the dream
This is the most incredible set of mods I've ever seen, usually I ignore the main story and just go on adventures but now I just want to ignore the main story and build up a farm
Skyrim cottagecore life is something I didn't know I needed until now😄😊even before the mansion the farmhouse looks so cozy 😭
Loved the cats names Joov and Spiff 😂 great video too
Someone send this to spiff see how he reacts
@@Dovah_Slayer I believe he would characterize it as FANTASTIC, seeing as our lad here was just aiming on making A LOT OF MONEY the entire run. Brilliant.
this video was such a cute change of pace from the utter chaos of the apocalypse videos, i'm glad to see you trying out different kinds of modded 'lifestyle' playthroughs/challenges!
Glad you enjoyed it!
If anyone in the future wants to know a windmill was used as kind of an automated stone grind for grain to turn into flour.
It's nice escaping our problems sometimes
this storytelling style is so cool! it genuinely feels like we are hearing a rendition of a journal rather than a story
That's a beautiful home for Clover and all the cats. Your commentary about the pets was precious too, very kindhearted and gentle. I loved the vibe of your video, from the showcasing of the building progress to the soft spoken commentary. It was better than watching channels dedicated to actual off-the-grid life :)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed this a lot!!! Clover is so precious he made me smile so peaceful and my favorite part was the graphics and the apple trees ^^
Glad you enjoyed! Clover's a good boy.
I don't know how you can stand a barking dog. Barking dogs are the worse. Rather have cats, they arent as annoying as a craphound.
@@monalisa5390there's a mod for that too! It can be used to reduce or remove barking altogether
@@FormerlyBlueI love dogs so much. Even if they aren’t real, so seeing Clover made me so happy! Even made me cry a lil. Sorry I just love dogs. 🥲❤️
Y’all ever watch a Skyrim video high and fall in love with it again? I cannot tell you how happy it makes me that Skyrim content has never died, it’s only grown stronger! Subscription for the concept alone homie, see you in the big leagues!
Thanks for the kind words! Welcome to the channel.
Actually me right now howd you know im over here getting emotional over this video cause im so proud of this man who built an amazing farm (refering to the in-game character)
A wind mill is exactly what it sounds like it is a straw mill powered by wind
This is such a lovely little video. And honestly Stardew's OST feels kind of timeless at this point. Subbed right after and can't wait to watch more!
Glad you enjoyed! Welcome to the channel!
The music in this video is really making me wanna binge Stardew Valley again and I'm already on a Skyrim binge currently
Saw someone else say this, but after the first apocalypse video I’ve been following this channel, I can already tell this is gonna be a huge one!!
Thanks, let's hope so!
The purpose of the wind mills is for milling wind.
The makes the wind softer, which makes it more valuable.
Just like people don't like hard water, purple don't like hard wind.
You can sell soft wind to Vitz.
Or, if you want to plan ahead, you can build storage containers, and stockpile wind against the day that Skyrim builds wind farms.
You could become a power conglomerate.
I've always done this in all my playthroughs. Whenever I got tired of all the dingeoneering, I'd spend some time at the farm, upgrading it, selling stock, etc. I also use the Windstaad Mine mod to have essentially the same but with minerals, and also to have a large fishery to farm fish. Long live the farm life!
I love the Heljarchen Farm mod! It's a staple in most of my playthroughs. I spend way too much time picking plants, cooking food and brewing potions, in between hunting trips for pelts, meat and ingredients. So relaxing.
Another favorite is Silverstead Manor. I once build the entire thing by gathering every single piece of building material myself. I had to dive into so many Dwemer ruins for that one and spend hours chopping wood, but the sense of accomplishment was worth it.
A Windmill is a wind powered millstone. Millstones aka grind stones were used to make flower from cereal grains. Fun fact, that is were the saying "keep your nose to the grind stone" comes from. It was to make sure it was not spinning too fast causing it to burn due to friction.
Thanks, that's interesting!
HOneslty i could have watched this for 10 hours, it was so much fun and so wholesome and chill :D Brand new subscriber here, I came from your apocalypse video. My favorite part was .. I honeslty don't have a favorite, I enjoyed the whole thing :D
Lol thanks, glad you found the channel!
This was great, very cozy and peaceful ❤
Glad you enjoyed! That was very much the vibe I was going for :)
This was a really fun video.
I actually really like the aesthetic of Skyrim for a farming sim. Maybe some game developer will see this and make a fantasy farm sim in this style too
YESS
Homecooked meal is expensive.
Because that is a food made with love.
You can have money but can't have love.
At least in skyrim.
Great and fun video idea! But as for the apocalypse series, you could be a Breton or Imperial Paladin, and a side quest would be that you would have to pray to each of the gods separately at each hold’s shrine, but each city is devoted to a different god, for example:
Riften - Mara
Markath - Dibella
Windhelm - Talos
Whiterun - Kynerath
And then I guess the rest would correspond with the ‘theme’ of the city, like Julianos for Winterhold because he’s a god of magic, and winter hold because of the College of Winterhold. But of course, it’s up to you, we’d just really like for you to continue the series because of how good it is, so thanks!
those homecooked meals are surely something special xD now, do they contain moon sugar, sleeping tree sap or even skooma is the question...
With Ysoloda… it’s pretty much guaranteed! Why do you think someone would pay 600 gold for a pie? 😅
17:35 Not because no one would want to buy Clover, but because Clover is priceless.
Exactly! Too precious.
As far as i know there are two different types of windmills used on farms. The big building ones are used to grind grain. And the smaller metal ones are used to draw water up out of the ground.
Thank you 🎉 you're the only person commenting on the windmill so far that knows they are also used as pumps for wells
Your videos/storytelling is rapidly improving! Keep up the good work!
Yeah, Blue has a great way with words in his voiceover scripts!
This an adorable play through. You did a great job with this video, and I will be subscribing!
Glad you enjoyed! Welcome to the channel!
Game mechanic fact: you can actually mine ore/rock with the pickaxe in hand and swinging it like a weapom at the ore/rock.
It will mine it considerably faster and without any animation wait time.
i'd love to imagine that for your first attempt, you forgot to turn off the apocalyptic skyrim mods, so when you go to sell for the first time, you get killed by a horde of draugr
I'd love this to be a series!!
Cool, thanks for letting me know!
I can’t believe this is a new channel! Truly a hidden gem
Welcome, glad you found it!
I would love to see an add-on in Skyrim or a mod where you can restore all the Dwemer cities back to their original luster, repairing pillars and everything as you walk through there. You can either make the things you need to repair or become in cahoots with theDwemer museum in Markarth. And he can supply you with things that he has, and all the rooms dotting around Skyrim can be restored because it would be cool to see what they looked like before they were desecrated by time.
I love seeing Heljarchen Hall getting the love it deserves. It is a beautiful location, practically in the center of Skyrim, and the property is just a short horse-ride away from Whiterun. This is apposed to Lakeview Manor where I feel like bandits are going to come out of the woods and try to kill me.
Now I look like a dumbass after watching the whole video. He doesn't actually build the fucking house lmao.
Great playthrough! I surely wasn't expecting a cat castle, but I definitely approve! Love it! 😺
I really love your sense of humor lol
500 gold for a meal? That's actually an insane amount. That's 50 nights at an inn. Imagine paying two months rent for some dude's wife's food
Loved this! Great narration, especially loved the bits you were talking to/about pets. You sound very gentle, this was a very relaxing watch thanks to that
I got a video suggestion if a mod lets you do but pretty sure there is one skyrim but as a guard could be good immersive random encounters also adds bandit raids on cities aslo great vid btw i hope you channel goes far
That guard must've been awful hungry to spend like a year's salary on your homecooked meal
Lol yeah exactly! Or maybe he did some side jobs for the Jarl bounty hunting and got bonus gold that way. That would seem somewhat logical.
My most favorite part of the video? 0:00 - 31:17 . It's that easy. Thanks for this awesome video and all the work you invested into from picking mods and playing, through editing and adding Stardew Valley music. Perfect, just absolutly perfect. Keep up the good work, can't wait for more.
honestly, I just love that a lot of the music you use is in chrono cross. chrono cross has my favorite music. not this video particularly but in a lot of the videos i've watched in general
And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. -Jeremiah 29:13
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. -John 3:16
Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.

Wtf are you yapping about@@PeterMartyrVermigli_is_cool
Anga is not the way of the jedi
Love your content!!
Thanks; glad you're enjoying!
I'm watching this while we're covering from a head injury. It's really relaxing and know that I found your channel. Life happily subscribed and I'm going to be binging your content while I heal up
Oh no, sorry to hear about your injury! Glad my content can help a bit :)
This music hits me with so much dang nostalgia. Also, I love Clover, and I would buy everything if they ran a store! who can say no to those two big brown eyes!?
I love videos like this, really enjoyed it, great job!
Now that was a good video, it's a hard choice on whether I prefer this slice of life style content compared to the apocalyptic style of the other videos. They're both amazing-
Although, the cat army at the end does give this one a few extra points.
The next course of action is clearly to make Gjeoffriehy a Jarl! I'm sure there's a mod based on that concept. (this is a joke, even if there is a mod for it I feel like you'd make Skyrim a barren wasteland by the time you get all the resources.)
Lol thanks, yeah just to build this little farm took like 70x what a single mine in Skyrim can produce in a day (before you deplete all the ore veins)
Love your vids so entertaining, I wanted to get this mod but didn’t get it lol. Maybe I’ll try it now!
Thanks! Yeah I really liked it!
"I'm not sure what the point of a windmill is..."
It is a wind powered mill.
I absolutely loved this video! The stardey valley music in the background was the perfect choice, and I love your commentary and storytelling. This video just has the perfect comforting, calming feeling :] You've earned yourself a new subscriber, I can't wait to see what you do next :D
10:05 "Im not sure what the point of a WINDMILL is"
Uh it's a wind powered, mill
a wind....mill if you will
It usually has a grindstone attached to gears/cogs which redirect the wind energy to grind grain into flower or just process some harder crops into smaller bits.
“Enjoying the entertainment” 19:12
I agree… that fireproof little girl IS very entertaining! It’s like a one girl circus act!
this video was so lovely to watch and a great mod showcase!
Maaan great job on the roleplay, def a good vibe, love the doogo.
10:03 Wind mills (or the more reliable and efficient water mills if there's a river nearby) were used to turn massive mill stones that grind down large batches of raw grains like wheat, corn, and oats into usuable cooking ingredients like corn meal, oatmeal, and flour. If a farm was wealthy enough to build and maintain their own they not only saved a lot of money since they didn't have to pay someone else to mill for them, but smaller farms would probably have paid them to mill THEIR grains as well.
Some places that didn't have a river or reliable winds would instead hook mules or horses to poles and make them THEM turn much smaller mill stones. I believe you can find one of those in the base game in Rorikstead.
This was such a calming video that both held my interest and helped me wind down for the day. Your narration and story telling was perfect for this farming adventure. It's amazing what the modding community has created and how players are reimaging Skyrim!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Found your channel recently and i must say it really is great! I tend to watch CZcams on the side while playing games or editing or what not so you going in detail about the stuff that happens is a big positive for me also you have a great voice
Very professional commentary! Like a watching a documentary...
Absolutely amazing video, please keep making great stuff like this
Great video - love to see people finding new ways to enjoy old games!
This was such a cozy Video, I´d love to see a Part 2
Please do a part 2, I loved this! Subscribed xx
30:53 Gjeoffriehy smiling makes him look like Mr. Beast I can't. I- This video, all of it is just amazing
10:11 its a way of drawing water out
Bruh this video is relaxing, i love it!
what an amazing video - i love how cosy your game looks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is basically if witcher 3 dlc let geralt run corvo bianco as a farm and not as a trophy hall
LOL --- The cat named "Spiffing Brit"! ... 😄Hecking brilliant!!
Man, i would love a mini series about this, like getting all thebuildings and upgrades, would be soo cool
This is the most wholesome skyrim content I've ever watched. So cute!
Broooo 9k to 14k in a few days is HUGE
Loving the content! Keep it up
Bro, youre one of the best "small" youtubers ive ever watched. Nice vid. Youve got a def sub
Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel :)
the windmill joke im mentally screaming thats for grinding wheat into flour.
love mod makers! they make skyrim replayable as a whole new experience each play through
Goodness I loved this video, who would've thought Skyrim could be so cozy and fulfilling with the right mods installed haha. Thanks a bunch for another great video, man!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
What an extremely lovely and creative video!! So happy youtube home recommended this
I can't express how much this video truly messed with my brain! Both Skyrim and Stardew Valley are games I have put thousands of hours into, and seeing Skyrim visuals while hearing Stardew Valley music made me twitch. Great video, though! I look forward to more content from you!
First video I am watching from you, and already liking it. I see Joov is in the comments, no wonder it got recommended!
really good! fun and relaxing at the same time, somehow. subbed
This video is so calming it almost hurts lol Excellent video from front to back!!
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it.
😂 love the names of the cats. I spent my Sunday just watching your content.
i loved this! thank you
This is awesome dude!! thank you for listing the mods in the description, i'm gonna do this now cause it looks super fun
Cool, enjoy! It was a really great run.
Really nice touch using the Star dew Valley music. Already a nice video, but that was the cherry on top.
its amazing how many different feels mods can give this game
This was awesome! This story telling version of Skyrim is fantastic! I enjoyed this and look forward to more of this, maybe even fun story based versions of other games.
Love this!! Instant Sub! Hope this becomes a series
Thanks for making this video. Seriously helps with my anxiety
turning games in farming simulators is always fun love the grind I'm a big fan of agricraft/botania modpacks bases for minecraft for my farming simulator needs
This is a great video! I hope your channel gets the recognition it deserves!!
Thanks, already has gotten quite a bit!
