Hearthwife

Hearthwife

A homestead wife for your Valheim home — presence, chores, and comfort around a wooden idol.

By blackhearthx. Single-player focused. Follows your game language (EN, PT-BR, DE, FR, ES, and more).

Place one idol → she lives in the circle → cook, gather, repair, keep the fire, rest.

How to use (tutorial)

• Place the idol

Hammer → Furniture → Wife Idol.

Only one idol per world is allowed.

She appears near the idol. The blue circle is her home area.

• Controls (look at the idol)

| Key | Action |

| --- | --- |

| E | Open her chest |

| Shift+E | Open the menu |

| Crouch+E | Call her back / unstuck (bring to the idol) |

Looking at her (not the idol): E talks when she is free.

• Choose a lifestyle (menu → Home)

| Mode | What she does |

| --- | --- |

| Home life | Presence only — stroll, sit, sleep. No chores. |

| Balanced | Works with pauses between tasks. |

| Hardworking | Prioritizes chores; idle only when nothing to do. |

Also on Home: set her name and bed (look at a bed and press E when prompted).

• Chores (menu → Work)

Turn on what you want inside the idol circle:

• Keep fires / torches lit (optional wood reserve in base chests)
• Repair buildings
• Prepare meals (uses food from her idol chest)
• Gather bushes and floor items (pick categories: berries, mushrooms, herbs…)
• Life / presence (menu → Life)

Optional comforts: sit on chairs, sit by the fire, daytime nap, home comfort bonus, map pin (heart), warn on house damage, affection when you stand near her.

Tips

• Put wood / food she needs in her idol chest (and base chests for fire wood reserve).
• If she freezes or gets stuck: Crouch+E on the idol once.
• Night: she walks to her assigned bed to sleep (if day/night is enabled).
• Rain: in Home life she prefers shelter; work modes keep working.
