Renaming Houses (spoiler??)

Post by freak4pb »

I just bought the Anvil house. Can I re-name it? The deed says something about seeing the construction charter or something, and "filling out paperwork." Just wondering. Thanks for any help.

I never managed to find the Imperial Archives myself, I didn't try very hard though, so I don't know if it is actually possible to change the name 'in game'.

However if you're playing on a PC you can change the name of any cell you like by using the console. The syntax is:

SetCellFullName 'CellName' "The Name you want to use"

So, to change the names of the cells in your new house to My Anvil Manor:

SetCellFullName 'AnvilBenirusManorHaunted' "My Anvil Manor"
SetCellFullName 'AnvilBenirusManorBasement' "My Anvil Manor Basement"

I'm not sure if you can change the name of the house.
They all say stuff about filling out paper work, just to make it a but more realistic I think.

Same with the horses name, I was told you can change their name, but I've never worked out how : /

I think that you can only do this with the console.
To set the name to Bob, open the console and click on the horse, and type in

setactorfullname Bob

Make sure that the horse is unique, i.e. "My Bay Horse" before you do this, because if you do it on a generic horse, all the horses will have that name. So if you Change "Bay Horse" to Charlie, all the Bay horses in the game will be named Charlie.
