📋 About This Mod
- I always hated that owning Hjerim and becoming Thane was quest-locked to the Civil War timeline. This mod aims to fix that by allowing the player to buy Hjerim and have the option to become Thane of Eastmarch after the quest "Blood on the Ice."
- SPOILERS This mod works after Wuunferth is arrested and the first half of the quest is completed. If it fits your immersion better, just wait to buy it after Calixto is dead. If you try to buy the house before Wuunferth is arrested, then Jorleif will tell you it's not ready.
- You can buy the house any time after "Blood on the Ice." The Thaneship part of this mod works best before starting the Civil War.
- This mod does not affect the quest negatively in any way, just changes some requirements.
