📋 About This Mod

Requirements

Installation

Install with any mod manager. Load after any mod that makes changes to the Living Quarters in Jorrvaskr.

Description

This mod adds a basket of bread, Farkas' Stolen Bread Stash, behind the bar in Farkas' bedroom and two spools of yarn, an empty spool, and two knitting needles to the bookshelf in Vilkas' bedroom in Jorrvaskr's Living Quarters. This was inspired by a few letters between the two brothers (see images for examples of the letters). The bread basket is a container that I've added Vilkas' stolen bread to. Just a little tiny bit of added immersion, in my opinion.

This is compatible with JK's Jorrvaskr, however I'm not sure about other overhauls as I don't use them. If you run into issues or mod conflicts let me know and I can make a patch given I can get any applicable permissions.

Please let me know if you have any issues!

Farkas the Bread Thief and Vilkas the Knitter adds a stolen bread stash behind the bar in Farkas' bedroom and knitting supplies on Vilkas' bookshelf in Jorrvaskr's Living Quarters. It's a small immersion mod inspired by letters between the brothers, compatible with JK's Jorrvaskr, and requires the base game. With 60 endorsements and 14,140 downloads, it's a niche addition for players who enjoy subtle lore-friendly details.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Tiny but charming lore-friendly touch for Companions fans (60 endorsements, 14k downloads).
  • Adds functional containers and clutter that fit the space without overhauling Jorrvaskr.
  • Author is responsive to issues and willing to make patches if permissions allow.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects two rooms in Jorrvaskr, so it's a very small change that might not be noticeable.
  • Compatibility with other Jorrvaskr overhauls is unverified, so you might hit conflicts if you use more than JK's.
  • Requires the base game only, but if you're on a modded setup, load order matters to avoid clipping with other Living Quarters mods.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who love the Companions and want a bit of extra personality in Jorrvaskr. It's perfect for immersion-focused playthroughs where small details matter. Skip if you're looking for major content or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic clutter.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install, and make sure it loads after any mod that edits Jorrvaskr's Living Quarters to avoid conflicts.
  • If you use JK's Jorrvaskr, you're good to go, but for other overhauls, test in-game to see if the bread basket and yarn appear correctly.
  • Check the mod images for the letters that inspired the clutter—they add context to the items.
