📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Two distinct homes for the price of one—great value for players who want variety
  • Ayleid palace offers a unique architectural style that stands out from standard homes
  • Decent download count (2,834) shows it's been tried by a fair number of players

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2010—may have compatibility issues with modern Oblivion setups or mods
  • Only 63 endorsements suggests a niche following, not a community favorite
🎯 Is This For You?

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this mod is from 2010, consider using a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash to keep track of files and avoid conflicts.
  • Check the mod's file structure after download—if it includes a .esp, make sure it's activated in your load order.
  • If you're using other overhaul mods, test the homes early to ensure they don't clash with landscape changes.
