Hearthfire blends The Sims with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Hearthfire blends The Sims with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Skyrim's latest expansion, Hearthfire, lets you build a house, raise a family, and do general homeowner things like keep giants from stealing your cows. Basically, it's Skyrim meets the Sims.

You’ve defeated all the dragons and burned through all the vampires. Yet you just can’t break free from the brutal, snowy lands in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The idea behind its latest expansion, Hearthfire, is about actually setting roots in Tamriel: building homes, crafting furnishings, and even adopting children. So if you’ve always wanted to blend The Sims into Skyrim, here’s your opportunity.

Hearthfire launches Sept. 4 on the Xbox 360 for 400 Microsoft points (that’s $5 in real money). Like Dawnguard, PC and PlayStation 3 players will have to wait for it to come to that platform.

I can’t wait to move my prissy Dark Elf husband Revyn Sadri into a regal country mansion. He’ll probably hate it, and be annoyed when I ask him to cook. You know, the usual. I wonder if he’ll also hate children….
