The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition

I acquired my second plot of land to build a house yesterday, and today set about building and decorating it... and did just that (which also includes pinging around the map to pick up and buy supplies — it takes a lot of raw materials to build these places) for an hour and three-quarters!

I've avoided games like Stardew Valley because I didn't see the appeal of farming and crafting and all that in a game, but look at me in Skyrim! Though it's less that I enjoy it, more that I want the end result. It does feel kinda like a waste of time to have spent one long play session on it. Same when I finish construction or buy a vacant house and then have to think about filling it with 'trophies' (i.e. weapons and armour I've looted/crafted that look good). If there was a way you could dump stuff in a location and auto-decorate, I'd definitely prefer that.
