Before we can start you need to do this:<br>

*Make the Exterior of the house.

*Make a cell for the Interior, name it ''House for Sale''.

*Make the interior of the House and decorate it.

*Make a Npc who will sell the house.

*Make a House Key

*Make a Quest

===Preparing the house===

First, add two doors, one in the interior and the other one in the Exterior. Link them together and set the lock to ''Need A Key'' and choose your key as the correct key.<br>

Then decide what decoration who will come with each set of things.<br>

In each set you need a parent, just pick one of the thing in the set.<br> Double-click on it and check the ''Persistent Reference'' box,give it an Referece ID too. Example: ''BedroomParentRef''.<br> Double-click on the other things in the same set and go to ''Enable Parent'' then press ''Select Reference in Render Window''.<br>

Double-click on the Parent of the set. Then repeat this on the other set so each set is linked to their own parent.<br><br>

Now Your house is ready.

The Npc needs some dialogues.<br>

Go to the Quest and go to ''Topics''.<br>

Make one topic called ''Housebuy(the name of your town)'' and one called ''HouseTooMuch(the name of your town)''.<br><br>

Before you continues. You need to choose a price on the house.<br><br>

Now select ''HouseBuy''. In the ''topic text'' you whrite something like this: "''I'll gladly pay 3,000 gold for it''" (If your house cost 3000, of course).<br> Then go to the list beneath the ''topic text''. Right-click and select ''new''. <br>In the Response text you whrite something like this: "''Good chose, here is your key...''" <br>Then add the audio, if you don't want to record your own voice you can unpack some voices from oblivion. <br>Press ''Ok''.<br>

In the ''Conditions'' list you right-click and press new.<br>

Set the ''Condition Function'' to GetGold, leave the ''Function Parameters'' empty, set Comparision to ''>='' and the value to the price of your house, then check the ''Run on target''.<br> Then add a new Condition, Function: GetisId, Parameters: (Your Npc), Comparison: ==, Value: 1 and ''Run on Target'': Unchecked. <br>Select ''HouseDecline'' add a new response.<br> Add a text like this: "''I'd prefer to only discuss the property with serious buyers.''".<br>

Select ''HouseInquiry''. Add a new response with a text like this: "''I've been looking for just the right owner for a special home I have.''".<br> Add audio.<br>

In the conditions you add the same condition as the last topic. <br>Then you add a new condition: Function: IsCellOwner, Parameters:(The cell of your house) Player, Comparison: == and Value: 0. <br>Then add a third condition: Function: GetDisposition, Comparison: >= and Value: (How much the Npc needs to like you before He/She Offer you the house). <br>In the ''Choices'' List, add ''HouseBuy'', ''HouseDecline'' and ''HouseTooMuch''.<br>

Select ''HouseTooMuch'', whrite ''I can't afford 3,000 gold.'' in the ''Topic Text''.<br> Add a new response with a text like this: "''What a shame. I guess I have to look for another buyer.''".<br> Add audio. <br>Add a condition, the usual GetIsID condition.<br><br>
