📋 About This Mod
Do you think Jarl Ballin deserves to be thiccer? Wider? An absolute unit? Then this is the mod for you!
This joke mod makes Jarl Balgruuf significantly wider, with two versions: Wide (200% wider) and Ultrawide (350% wider, with model disfigurement). It adds a unique thick outfit only he wears, and includes console commands to give the outfit to the player. Known issues include T-posing and clipping, but the mod is a humorous cosmetic addition for Skyrim players.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 180 endorsements and nearly 9k downloads—clearly a hit with the meme crowd.
- Two width options let you dial in the absurdity, from 'chunky' to 'what have I done'.
- The FAQ is gold—answers common issues with humor, like 'he's just built differently'.
⚠️ Cons
- Known T-pose issue on first visit to Balgruuf, which can be annoying if you're not expecting it.
- Clipping and static hands are inherent due to the mesh not fitting the skeleton—eldritch horror fingers are a real tradeoff.
- Compatibility risk: any mod that changes Balgruuf's outfit or appearance may conflict, so load order matters.
For Skyrim players who want a laugh and a visually absurd Balgruuf. It's purely cosmetic, so skip if you're looking for gameplay changes. Perfect for meme playthroughs or streamers who want to break the immersion in a hilarious way.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If Balgruuf T-poses on your first visit, leave Dragonsreach and reload the cell to fix it.
- Use the console command 'help "WIDE Noble Clothes"' to find the item ID, then 'player.additem XX000d63 1' to get the outfit.
- Place the ESP at the bottom of your load order if you have other mods that alter NPC attire to avoid conflicts.
