📋 About This Mod

This mod overhauls the villages of the Iliac Bay, aiming to give them a rural, vanilla-friendly character. It makes use of Podleron's RMB Editor and new assets from talented artists including Ninelan, Diema, and Kamer.

Required mods:

RMB Resource Pack

Windmills of Daggerfall by Kamer

Finding My Religion by Cliffworms

Fixed Desert Architecture by Cliffworms

Daggerfall Expanded Textures by Ninelan

DET Harvestable Crops by TheLacus, Ninelan, and carademono

Rosy's Resources by RosyTheRascal (important note: Rosy's Residences not required)

New Paintings by PRAEst76

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.

Podleron: RMB Editor

Kamer: for his gorgeous windmills

Cliffworms: this mod integrates Fixed Desert Architecture, Finding My Religion, Lively Cities, and Detailed City Walls

UncannyValley: huge thanks to Uncanny for permission to integrate Taverns Redone

RosyTheRascal: huge thanks to Rosy for permission to integrate DIEP!

Ninelan: for everything in DET!
