In my test, I had Argis the Bulwark sweeping the floors in full Ebony Mail. They'll also use activators like alchemy tables, etc. Because of the navmesh bug, your spouse won't always go to them, but once Beth fixes that (I hope), your spouse's package will let them pick animations and activities to do. Under Miscellaneous/Idle Markers, you'll find those neat little blue ai squares, that you can put all over your house (appropriate ones, please, unless you like your spouse grazing on the floor). If you have a custom spouse with new voicing, you'd add an 'info' response to the moving topic for both the post-wedding and moving views (which is how you'd get them to move to the vanilla houses, too). Now this will only work for vanilla spouses or custom spouses that use vanilla spouse voices. Make sure you've compiled all your scripts and that they don't have any errors. One is for immediately after the wedding, the other is for any time during your long, happy marriage. A little tedious, but it doesn't take too long.Р”РЋ0) Remember to do this for both dialogue views. (GetOwningQuest() as RelationshipMarriageSpouseHouseScript).MoveSpouse(akspeaker, YourHouse)Р”В©) Now, while you can copy and paste that fragment for all seven (14) of the responses, you will also need to manually set the ReferenceAlias property (step 7) manually for each them. Hit return to go back to the topic info window.Р”РЃ) You will want to change the script fragment to be: You can also name the property the same thing. You'll be adding a property called ReferenceAlias which you will then define as the alias you created in step 4 (example YourHouse). But what you will need to do it add a new property for the script fragment, so click on the Script name, then hit properties. You can essentially begin with what you already copied. Hit OK to save the package, make sure the new package is what shows up on the alias page, and then hit OK on the Alias page to save it.Р”В§) Almost done! For each of the seven responses (and remember you need to do it for 2 dialogue views), you'll need to add a papyrus fragment. Make sure to have your house's indoor cell selected. In the first line, the package defines the cell where these things will be allowed to happen. It's important to give it a new name, because you WILL be changing one important thing, and you don't want to accidentally overwrite the ai for a vanilla house. I essentially used one of the existing packages as a template to allow all the basic activities, gave it a new name, and let the CK save it as a new Editor ID.

Double click that to open up a package page. So if you're in the middle of the country, you might not want any factions (or to define your own.)Р”В¦) More importantly, on the right bottom of the Alias window is an area for Alias Package Data, which defines what the spouse ai is allowed to do in the house. What I *think* this does, though I haven't tested it for all spouses, is that if they have a trade, like smithing, they'll commute to the smithy in that town. Since my house was outside Whiterun, I just copied the factions from Breezehome. In the Factions area, choose factions that begin with ServiceSpouse followed by the closest city and their profession. Copy and paste works just fine here, just change the name of the Alias to refer to your house.Р”Тђ) Double click on your new Alias to set up some functions. You'll be setting up a new alias for your house.

You'll need to link each of the seven responses to the 'I want to move' node to your new node (see wiki for how to do this).Р”Р€) In your new node, change the topic (which is the player's line) to refer to your custom house ('I want us to move to YourHouse'): You don't need a voice for that, so no need to record new voice files.Р”В¤) Still in the Quest Editor, go to Quest Aliases. You'll be doing the same thing in both places, so just repeat the following for each of them:Р”Сћ) Copy the topic node for one of the other houses and paste them in the same topic area, Be sure to copy all seven response-infos for the seven voice types. + If your spouse has a trade, will let the find a job (I think - this is the part I didn't thoroughly test).Р”РЋ) Find the Quest/Relationship quest 'RelationshipMarriageFIN.' Go to Dialogue Views: you need to adds dialogue nodes to RelationshipMarriageFINMovingView and RelationshipMarriagePostWeddingView. + Get your spouse's AI to do things around the new house + Get your spouse to move to your new house I hope I've included enough detail for this mini-tutorial, but let me know if things don't work or if you have questions.

If you're new to script or dialogue editing, check the CK Wiki out, for a good introduction. A couple of people have asked, so I thought I'd share what i did here. Getting the vanilla spouses to move in was a lot easier than I expected.
