Required mods:
RMB Resource Pack
Windmills of Daggerfall by Kamer
Finding My Religion by Cliffworms

DET Harvestable Crops by TheLacus, Ninelan, and carademono
Rosy's Resources by RosyTheRascal (important note: Rosy's Residences not required)

Known compatibility issues:
Because this mod changes village layouts, it works best with new games. You can probably get it working fine with your current games by deleting AutomapData.txt and DiscoveryData.txt in your savegame files (though note that you'll lose all your discovered locations). You may have to temporarily disable the mod to complete ongoing quests.
Beautiful Villages fully integrates Taverns Redone, Soldier's Luxury, and Daggerfall Interior Enrichment Project into villages. If you have both Beautiful Cities and Beautiful Villages active, you do not need to enable these mods.
Beautiful Villages is fully compatible with Famous Faces and Lively Cities. Locations Overhauled mods should be put lower in the load order for compatibility.
There is a compatibility patch for Archaeologists Guild in the Files page.
