Simply replaces the old frumpy and dumpy vanilla Jarl Longhouse "hut" model with a new custom model. Intended to be much more Nordic and Scandinavian in appearance.

Uploaded optional mesh which has windows on the central tallest tower - similar to vanilla look.
Uploaded parallax meshes for both mesh models
Updated the "with small decor" ESL flagged esp. I moved the hanging lantern back just a bit, so now if you use the "tower windows" model, the lantern won't show.
This ESL-flagged mod replaces the Jarl Longhouse model, which is used in the Hold minor cities of Falkreath, Dawnstar, Morthal, and Winterhold.
No longer will the Jarls place of residence and business occur in a common looking thatch hut. The Jarls Longhouses now look more prestigious and truly Nordic in appearance, with higher quality shingle roofs, ornamental Nordic woodworking, and a lookout watchtower atop the building.
Reasons you may like this mod? :)
Sick of looking at the same old thatch covered Jarl Longhouses since 2011?
Tired of the vanilla Jarl Longhouse model with it's 3rd floor stone walled center tower defying gravity!
Or perhaps tired of looking at the vanilla Jarl Longhouse with it's 3rd floor windows which don't exist from the inside?
Going for a vanilla plus playthrough? This fits right in!
Looking for improved compatibility with other mods? No need for other patches.
Want to bring up the Nordic atmosphere?
Well, then this mod is for you!
There are two versions of this mod:
Option 1: Jarl Longhouse Replacer with small decorative elements. This version "dresses" up the Jarl Longhouse with Hold specific shields and banners. Giving each Hold’s Jarl Longhouse a more distinctive and unique appearance. This option is NOT compatible with any Cities of the North town overhauls or the Great Cities overhauls. **Too clarify, you technically can try to run it with COTN and/or TGC, but you might experience a few floating banners and shields. However it’d be very easy to patch to disable those if other people want to make that patch.
Option 2: Jarl Longhouse Replacer - no worldspace edits. This version simply replaces the Jarl Longhouse model. There is no banners or shelf’s with this one. However, this version is completely compatible with the COTN (Cities of the North) and TGC (The great cities) - if you’re using a combination of one or more of those mods. So long as you have at least one town with a vanilla Jarl Longhouse, then you’ll see this new model there.
**Use only one version!
- Compatibility - This new model fits the vanilla model almost exactly. Therefore is fully compatible with nearly all mods. The exterior is changed, but the interiors are untouched, therefore compatible with all interior/lighting mods.
Fully compatible with JK's Skyrim.
- Compatibility - This mod is meshes only. The model uses your farmhouse textures, so it’ll blend in perfectly with your town and whatever farmhouse retexture mod you are using.
- Complimentary mods that’ll look nice with this -
Northern Farmhouses
Northern Vanilla Farmhouses (load this Nordic Jarl Longhouse mod after NVF to see it)
Hope you enjoy this mod! Please feel free to ask questions and upload any screenshots you like!
