What's your favourite building set, and why?

Many good ones, I love Nemedian because it looks very similar to what we have in old European castles, but also because it fits aesthetically in wooded areas and mountains.
My co-op partner likes Argossean, so we kinda have to build somewhere between rocky seashore and forests for all of it to fit nicely.

Thinking of getting another DLC, but can’t decide.

Nemedian. Love medieval looking buildings in games.

Aesir.

Over a decade of Skyrim. Figured I’d give Dragonsreach another shot before building the rest of Whiterun.

It deponds on where I’m building. In the desert I like Stonebrick. In areas of dark rocks I like Stormglass.

Nice! It really fits, especially the roof.
Did you make all of the interior? Does Nazeem stop by very often?

@Birder Yeah, anything other than Stonebrick or Sandstone is hard to fit in the desert while keeping it believable.

Yeah, built the full interior. As close as I could get the layout. Trying to match furniture placement for Jarl Balgruuf’s room.

Stormglass is my aesthetic and I love the many unique architecture pieces.

Then frontier and turanian… I do love gothic and regal lol

Nemedian hands down for me. Not so much that I use it in its entiriety though. But in every build I use, I’m using some pieces from it. Either the foundations/ceilings for the floors, or the walls. I’m always mixing and matching stuff with it.

Stable fence foundation gets an honorable mention.

I’ve honestly never seen “Stable fence foundation” until now, it looks really good.

Yeah its icon doesn’t do it justice. And its a little hidden gem.

Mine was the Nemedian until the foundation glitch.

I build with a heavy mix. Current base uses elements from Pyramid, Turanian, Aquilonian, Stormglass for the windows, and a bit of the Yamatai walls for color other than black.

Nemedian takes first place. Arena foundations mix well with Nemedian (especially if you don’t want to hear yourself “clopping” on the wood flooring).

Arena, Aquilonian, Argossean, Stromglass, Turan, and Stable tie for second place.

Frontier roof pieces (especially the undersides) are exceptional, too (not a fan of the spikes, though).

Stable Fence Foundation does so much heavy lifting in so many of this one’s non-stable builds.
Especially Arena builds…

As for this one’s favourite…
Nope, can’t. Ask this one an easy question, like this one’s favourite food or which leg they want to get shot in.

For monumental buildings I most often use stormglass or arena, less often aquilon and argos. For small construction - everything else.
Never used two sets: stables and black ice.

Whichever leg gets shot, I hope your roads lead to warm sands. Just don’t get shot in the tail. :smiley:

@Bodin Agreed about the spikes.

@Rust That’s one cosmopolitan house!

:cherries: Turanian, because I love the warmth of the gold. :cherries:
:herb: Frontier, for its round wood pillars and wood flower sculpted ceilings. :herb:

Now that we have more varieties of sets, I do enjoy the Nemedian and Aesir looks too.

I regret buying the Yamatai, Aquilonian, and Argossean DLCs.
I bought them because I love the looks of the historical monuments of these cultures in real life (specially the Roman and Greek ones), but regret it now because I never use them in the game compared to the other sets mentionned above.

I use a variety of sets, but often it depends on WHAT I’m building. As for general builds, @Marylambs and I use nemedian as a basis for them, then create medieval village styles with a variety of woody pieces. I use the backsides of frontier caps and half wall slopes for accents, as well as the backside of frontier doors to look fancy. I use the reverse side of Yamatai for the medieval style (until we get something proper). I use flotsam for the ramshackle shanty town feel, as well as the fencing. Nemedian ceilings for ragged woody surfaces and frontier or stable ceilings for nicer woody surfaces. I use stormglass and new turanian pieces for windows. Roofing and awnings are usually in nemedian, though I’ll use flotsam awnings for the tarps and line around my port and piratey builds. Meanwhile, arena makes for some nice foundational flooring and barracks styles that I’ll throw in to give the mixed set feel. Oh, and lost dungeon is a great flooring for outdoors and underwater or wet areas with its dark glossy stone and moss.

I usually find myself using stormglass and arena the most, although I mostly use arena for foundations and protective walls. I’ll also usually have some Nemedian and Khitai in there, and just a dash of frontier in the form of a small watchtower or something.

Before stormglass was available, I would use Yamatai a lot.

This is so good it actually looks like a Riften-type city. Do you also create mods?

@E.y Even if you like the Greek and Roman pieces, there’s not a lot of places in the Exiled Lands that resemble Greek landscapes too closely.

They fit on tall rocky cliffs of Siptah, especially when you see them from a distance. Also near water where there’s more rock than sand. Either as monumental structures, or with an entire town around them.

For Exiled Lands Pyramid pillars are better.

Treasures of Turan! The pack fits with literally everything.

My first was savage frontier!

My best?
I cannot decide, each dlc has something i will definitely use in each gameplay, so there’s not my best or more used.
