📋 About This Mod
Already the first time i visited Aleswell and saw the beautiful view over the countryside and the Imperial city, I wanted my own house here. Now, years later, I have built it. The Aleswell Cottage is located just outside Aleswell village, with a breath-taking view overlake Rumare and the Imperial City.
The house is furnished with middle class- and some lower class furniture. It includes a dining room with fireplace, a kitchen with an abundance of 'mini-barrels', a study, a single-room bedroom and an open attic double-bedroom. There is also a basement with extra storage capacity an a spare bedroom, as well as an area suited for crafting. It is made companion-friendly, is fully path-gridded and has persistant beds and chairs that companions can use. In order to further improve the companion-friendliness for basic companions (like CM Partners) who normally cannot be directed on where to go for a walk or where to sleep, there is an extra dialog topic - Living arrangements - added that will take care of this.
The mod also includes 51 no-respawn-containers (many of them 'mini-barrels') in the main cottage and 87 non-respawn-containers in the basement. (Additionally, there are also two respawning containers in the basement. One is called "TRASHBIN - RESPAWNS" and the other one "Companion keys - RESPAWNS". Don't put anything of value inside them! They have the word RESPAWNS in their names for a reason.
As a bonus, the house comes with optional trader-service at the Aleswell Inn and with ver. 4 a range of crafting facilities.
If you have played through Oblivion, you probably know about the quest offered from the Aleswell people. You have to complete this quest (which can be done also at very low levels) before you can buy the cottage. Then it will, as a quest reward, be offered to you for a very reasonable price (3 000 Gold) from the Aleswell inn-keeper.
New in ver 4. 1
- Optional sheep! You can buy up to six sheep and lambs for Aleswell Cottage at the Roxey Inn. Shear your sheep and use the wool for yarn production with the crafting facilities in the cottage.
- If you are interesting in crafting and farm animals, I recommend that you also use the “Useful Farm Animals” mod by me and Lycanthrops. These farm animals are also for sale at Roxey Inn, which is why the Aleswell sheep are for for sale there instead of at the Aleswell inn.
- Outdoors bathtub! An outdoor hotwater wooden bathtub has been added in the backyard. Wash off the mud and blood while you watch the sunset over the Imperial City!
New in version 4
- a stable has finally been added.
- a broad range of crafting facilities has been added, and the optional Aleswell trader has expanded his stock with crafting components.
