Nord Housecarl
This mod aims to enhance the Stormcloak experience by transforming Lakeview Manor's mansion into a true Nordic style. The main motivation for this is that it wouldn't make sense for Jarl to assign his/her Redguard family Cal when the Dragonborn became Stormcloak's loyalists and Falkreath was under Stormcloak's leadership.

This mod aims to enhance the Stormcloak experience by transforming Lakeview Manor's mansion into a true Nordic style. The main motivation for this is that it wouldn't make sense for Jarl to assign his/her Redguard family Cal when the Dragonborn became Stormcloak's loyalists and Falkreath was under Stormcloak's leadership. However, the mod is by no means exclusive to Stormcloak characters; it can be a modest tweak to anyone's game if they already have the official Hearthfire DLC installed.
The Falkreath housecarl was originally named "Rayya", but if you apply this mod it will be renamed to the Scandinavian "Ulvhild". She will naturally remain female and will still use the same voice set (Claudia Christian in the English version). Her skills will also remain unchanged. In addition to her new name, the following changes will be made:
Her race will be adjusted from "Redguard" to "Nord"
Her appearance will be adjusted to reflect her race
She will use a battle ax instead of a scimitar
compatibility
Requires official Hearthfire DLC. There are no known compatibility issues with other modules, and given the very limited scope of this module, I wouldn't expect any. This mod should also be completely lore-free because as far as I know the original housecarl was never mentioned by name or race.
Kudos to eriknm for creating this mod, I just converted it to Skyrim Special Edition.

Description
This mod is designed to enhance the Stormcloak experience by turning the housecarl of Lakeview Manor into an authentic-looking Nord. The main motivation for this is that when the Dragonborn is a Stormcloak loyalist and Falkreath is under Stormcloak leadership, it doesn't make sense for the Jarl to assign him/her a Redguard housecarl. The mod is by no means exclusive to Stormcloak characters however; it's a modest adjustment that may be applied to anyone's game, provided they've installed the official Hearthfire DLC.
The Falkreath housecarl is originally named 'Rayya', but will be renamed to the Scandinavian 'Ulvhild' if you apply this mod. She'll naturally remain female, and she'll still use the same voice set (by Claudia Christian in the English version). Her skills will also remain the same. Aside from her new name, the following changes will take place:
Her race will be adjusted from 'Redguard' to 'Nord'
Her physical appearance will be adjusted to reflect her race
She'll wield war axes instead of scimitars
Compatibility
The official Hearthfire DLC is required. There are no known compatibility issues with other mods, and given the very limited scope of this mod I don't expect there to be any. The mod should be entirely lore-friendly as well, as the original housecarl is never referred to by name or race (to the best of my knowledge).
Credit goes to eriknm for creating this mod, i merely convert it to Skyrim Special Edition.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
