📋 About This Mod
"Great, another ambitious visitor. You think you can just wander in here and join us?"
- Description - Jorrvaskr is an ancient and honored mead hall that has served as the headquarters of a mercenary company, The Companions, for untold generations. According to local legends, it was the first building in Whiterun, settled on the site of the Skyforge itself and the entire city sprung up around it over the centuries. The Warrior's Guild being absent in Skyrim, the Companions became the de facto blades for hire in the region, lending their services to anyone with honor and coin.
- Installation - - Make sure your version of HS Resources is up to date, if not, download and install the latest release, this is a mandatory requirement and you might be missing some items if you're using an outdated version. Make sure to track the mod as well so you get notified of any update.
- Use a mod manager software such as Vortex, install, enable the mod and voilà!
- Or drop the content of the archive into your "Skyrim Special Edition\Data" folder
The Loot auto-sort should take care of the rest, but if I'm a bit behind in committing the rules for the newly released mods or if you want to mess around your Load Order on your own it is recommended to load this mod fairly late in the LO to prevent any other mods to mess with visual elements of the cell, patches might be required in some cases but I will not be making them myself unless I'm personally using the mod.
Add-ons included in the optional files :
- A Compatibility patch disabling ELFX changes made to the cell edited by this mod.
- A Compatibility patch disabling LUX changes made to the cell edited by this mod.
- Compatibility - If I get the chance, I shall list below some of the mods that have been reported as incompatible and requiring patching, I will not be making any patches myself as mentioned in my FAQ.
- Disclaimer - The mod as well as the patches are ESL flagged. I will not be releasing variants or All-In-One versions of these mods since that will go against the "modular" philosophy behind them, letting you pick and choose which location you want to install and having multiple version of the same thing would quickly make this a nightmare to maintain.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 1.3 million downloads and 1,805 endorsements show it's a go-to for Whiterun overhauls
- Recent update (July 2024) means it's likely compatible with current Skyrim versions
- Focused overhaul: improves a key location without touching the rest of Whiterun, so it's easy to mix with other mods
⚠️ Cons
- No screenshots or videos in the description, making it hard to judge the visual style
- Only overhauls Jorrvaskr, so if you want a full Whiterun makeover, you'll need other mods
For Skyrim players who want to give the Companions' hall a fresh look without overhauling the entire city. If you're a mod collector who loves detailed interiors, this is a safe bet given its popularity. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple location overhaul, just drop the files into your Data folder or use your mod manager—no special setup needed.
- Make sure to load it after other mods that alter Whiterun to avoid conflicts.
- Check the mod's posts tab for any user-reported compatibility notes, since the description doesn't list requirements.
