📋 About This Mod
If you want all the new Aleswell buildings to be viewable from afar, first you will need a Viewable When Distant Pack (such as RAEVWD) then you will need to run TES4LODgen! May Cause FPS Issues!
Details ============== The villages in Oblivion are sorely lacking. They're far too small and boring! That's where the Oblivion Town Expansion Project (OTEP) comes in. This mod expands the villages with more buildings and citizens.
Aleswell is the first village to be remade, mostly because it comes first alphabetically. Visit the Hall of Dibella, have some ale at the Hog's Breath tavern, or relax in the plentiful fields of wheat and goats. This mod is compatible with the Zero Visibility quest.
Have fun!
Notes ========= To see the new Aleswell Buildings from a distance, be sure to run Tes4LODGEN, which can be found here. and install a Viewable When Distant Mod.

If I missed anyone, let me know.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds significant content to a usually ignored village, giving players a reason to visit.
- Part of a series, so if you like this one, there may be more to come.
- Over 2,000 downloads shows some interest despite zero endorsements.
⚠️ Cons
- Zero endorsements – a red flag that the mod might have issues or just went unnoticed.
- Last updated in 2009 – likely outdated and may have compatibility problems with modern setups.

- Check for conflicts with other mods that alter Aleswell or its surrounding area.
- If you encounter crashes, try cleaning the mod with TES4Edit to remove dirty edits.
