Skyrim Glitches: Hearthfire Edition Concluded

Finally unlocked all the Achievements for Hearthfire by using my Kajiit second character, Meo. I finished building my third house on the outskirts of Morthal, named Windstad. Strangely, my children whom I adopted in the Riften orphanage and were bound to my home in Heljarchen Hall showed up in Windstad, or at least one of them did. Previously, the children would roam the grounds around Windstad and not enter, and in all their dialogue expressed their disbelief in being adopted, with no further options in their chat windows. This disappointed me, as I had crafted beds for them inside, and had toys and clothes to give them as gifts. My lesbian wife, Lydia, also roamed around Heljarchen Hall without entering, which aided me in a battle against a group of bandits and their chief who showed up out of the blue at my doorstep. The house was mostly furnished and complete, but with no steward, which might have caused the NPCs to glitch as they did. I had Validmar with me as my companion, and I asked him to be my steward, but I was at Heljarchen Hall when I did so, while he was bound as a Windstad steward by the game. Later, I rebound him at Windstad, but when I asked him to improve my house furnishing, options for non-existent rooms at Windstad came up in his dialogue box. The rooms in question were for both Heljarchen Hall and Windstad combined; Heljarchen Hall still having no official steward, as I was not yet Thane in Dawnstar.

I tried looking for my adopted son I saw by chance in Windstad, but he had disappeared after I left the room. Strange.
