Housecarls Reborn seeks to upgrade the vanilla and Hearthfire NPC housecarls to make them appear more appealing, as well as buff equipment and change armours to suit their respective holds.
Features
- Edited appearances of the Vanilla and Hearthfire Housecarls!
- Suitable for all levels, no housecarl is too overpowered!
- Made tweaks to names, stats and equipment of several player and Jarl housecarls!
Uses Of This Mod
This mod is designed for those that felt the vanilla housecarls to be both unattractive and underwhelming. Both appearance and stats are buffed, as well as the fact that default armours have been edited to suit the housecarl's hold better. Note that this mod is 100% lore-friendly and should seamlessly blend with the world of Skyrim.
Compatibility and Known Bugs
So far, there have been no compatibility issues, and this mod should work seamlessly with other mods. If any incompatibilities are found, they will be posted below.
Please note: I did have some grey-face issues due to a clash with WICO but it is not a confirmed incompatability.
Hearthfire IS required.
Installation/Uninstallation
By the divines, just use the Nexus Mod Manager! It's simple to use and works perfectly with this mod. You can try the traditional manual installation method, but I don't recommend it. Although, if the Vortex download should fail then copy the contents of the files you want to your Skyrim Data folder.
Uninstall via the Vortex or delete all relevant files related to "Housecarls Reborn".
Update Installation (Using Vortex)
1) Remove the current version of this mod via NMM/Delete all related files.
2) Install the new version on this page via NMM/Copy all contents of the files you want to your Data folder.

Just the 4 years or so since the last update... anyways:
- Rebuilt the mod from the ground up; no more grey face issues due to no cosmetic changes
- Below name changes and armor buffs are still in effect
- Removed essential status for housecarls, be careful!
This is now an SSE-ONLY mod.
