📋 About This Mod
In my first playthrough of Morrowind, I joined House Hlaalu without really realizing the consequences of my actions. Since I was a battle-mage, I had little want nor need to invest in the skills needed to advance in their ranks. Since Hlaalu is most likely the first House players will encounter throughout their journey through Vvardenfell, I assume I am not alone in my experience.
This mod is for people in that position: Players who joined a house early on, and then realized that house would not suit their character. The developers obviously wanted players to only choose one house, so I wanted to keep that aspect while giving some leeway. So you can only leave a house if you are a hireling and once you leave a certain house you cannot join back.
Usage
Copy one of the esps into the data files folder and enable it.
To leave house redoran, talk to Neminda and choose "join House Redoran" out of the dialogue options, then choose "leave House Redoran".
To leave house hlaalu, talk to Nileno Dorvayn and choose "House Hlaalu" out of the dialogue options, then choose "leave House Hlaalu".
To leave house telvanni, talk to any Telvanni Mouth and choose "join House Telvanni" out of the dialogue options, then choose "leave House Telvanni".
Requirements
The latest version of OpenMW OR Morrowind Code Patch with "Allow Faction Leaving" enabled is required.
Misc
If you are permanently expelled from House Redoran, and if you didn't get the "leave House Redoran" topic in the dialogue box before getting expelled, then you cannot leave House Redoran.
This mod also makes it so you can hear the rules of House Hlaalu before joining them.
IMPORTANT - Leaving a House in a middle of a quest for that house may result in a variety of glitches, use at your own risk.
A small utility mod for Morrowind that lets hirelings quit their Great House faction. With 50 endorsements and 4,144 downloads, it's a niche fix for players who want to leave a house without console commands. Last updated June 2023.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fills a real gap—vanilla doesn't let hirelings quit, so this saves console command hassle.
- Tiny download and no dependencies, so it's a quick drop-in.
- Decent traction for a niche fix (50 endorsements, 4k downloads).
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects hireling rank—if you've risen higher, this mod won't help.
- No documentation on compatibility with other faction mods or Tamriel Rebuilt.
- Last updated in 2023—might not be tested with the latest Morrowind modding setups.
For Morrowind players who roleplay as a hireling and want the freedom to switch allegiances without breaking immersion. Skip if you're already a full member or use console commands anyway.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the ESP in your Data Files folder and activate it in the Morrowind Launcher.
- If you use a mod manager like Wrye Mash, install it there for easier management.
- Test on a save where you're a hireling to see the new dialogue option.
