It was released worldwide for platforms such as Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.
The game takes place in Skyrim, set after the events of Oblivion after 200 years in the northernmost province of Tamriel. The main story focuses on the player's character called the Dragonborn, on the quest to defeat Alduin, the World-Eater, a dragon who has a prophecy that he will be the one to destroy the world. Over the course of the game, the player has to improve their skills in order to complete the quests and develop the character.

How to build a house in Skyrim?
The player has to follow some simple steps to build houses and they are as follows:
First, the player has to obtain permission to purchase land from the steward/jarl of Hjaalmarch, Falkreath Hold, or the Pale, which can happen only after certain quests.
Then the player has to purchase the land from the steward.
Then the player has to visit the new property and use the drafting table to begin building the house.
The player can also use the carpenter's workbench to build the foundation of the house. The player can build the house based on their taste.
If the player has the Hearthfire expansion, which is a part of the Special Edition, the player will be able to buy three plots across different holds and build houses on them. Here's how to unlock each plot:
Heljarchen Hall (The Pale hold)

The land will be near the Giants Gap, right next to Whiterun Hold. The player has to unlock the location by chatting with whoever the Jarl is at Dawnstar’s White Hall to become Thane in the Pale to unlock the house. If the available Jarl is Skald, then the player has to prepare to complete the quest named Waking Nightmare and also a mission to kill a nearby Giant, whereas Jarl Brina will grant you access immediately depending on the player's main story actions.

The player has to reach the Thane of Falkreath, then the player will receive a letter from a courier saying the plot is available to buy. If not, after becoming level 9 or above, the letter will reach you. The player has to visit the Jarl Siddgeir in Jarl's Longhouse and complete the quest offered to them and the plot will then become available from the Steward.
Windstad Manor (Hjaalmarch hold)
