The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimwas a landmark release when it first launched in 2011, and the game’s popularity has persisted to this day. In fact,Skyrimreturned to the sales chartsjust recently, proving players are still eager to explore the game’s massive open world even a decade after its release.
NewSkyrimplayers are still discovering the game, like the girlfriend of Reddit user SuspiciousPop1066. In a Reddit post that has 6,000 upvotes at the time of this writing, SuspiciousPop1066 explained how they gave their girlfriend their copy ofSkyrim. About a month later, they popped into their girlfriend’sSkyrimsave to check her progress in the game, and they found something rather bizarre in her basement.

For unknown reasons, SuspiciousPop1066’s girlfriend decided to fill the basement of herSkyrimhomewith buckets. So many buckets, in fact, that it appears to be causing some slowdown issues in the game, if the clip uploaded by the Reddit user is anything to go by. Buckets are useful for covering the eyes of NPC whenever someone wants to steal without getting caught, but there’s no practical reason to hoarding so many of them in one spot.
However, SuspiciousPop1066’s girlfriend is far from the firstSkyrimplayer to hoard a bunch of a specific item in their house. Many members of theSkyrimcommunity have shared similar exploits over the years, like one player whofilled their Breezehome house full of cheese. Other timesSkyrimplayers have filled their homes with books, and in one case, they even filled their home full of Elder Scrolls.
Besides the mass of buckets in the clip, the clip also shows that SuspiciousPop1066’s girlfriend has obtained Serana as a Follower. Serana, for the uninitiated, is a vampire inSkyrimthat players can recruit by completing theDawnguardDLC. And while it wasn’t specified in the post, it seems as though SuspiciousPop1066’s girlfriend has set up theHoneyside home in Riftenas their base of operations and designated bucket-hoarding spot.
It will be interesting to see ifElder Scrollsfans are able to get up to similar hijinks in the next game. As it stands, Bethesda has revealed very little aboutThe Elder Scrolls 6or what it will offer from a gameplay standpoint, so it’s unclear if players will be able to buy and live in their own homes as they can inSkyrim. It’s likely that the feature will return, however, and it’s also likely that players will be free to fill their homes with whatever random objects they’d like, buckets included.
