oak

Restore a new village in the old town from TES:Arena.

Falkreath Hold always seemed like a pretty big place, but having Hearthfire's home, a house taken over by bandits, and Helgen's burned remains hardly do it justice. Oakwood placed a fishing and mining village on the shores of Lake Illinalta on the west side of Lakeview Estates. This town used to exist in TES: Arena, but since it's not mentioned, there's nothing to say it won't be here. When combined with building a Hearthfire home at Lakeview Manor, it feels more like a large town with an estate.

Features include

Customize your inn layout using a standard corner farmhouse.

Complete schedule of NPCs.

Military control changes based on who controls Falkreath Hold.

Guards inherit inventories from the Falkreath template, so any mods that affect those should also propagate to Oakwood's guards.

All houses have Fallout quests enabled, so you can get companion quests and any other quests that are properly configured to use NPC homes for quests.

Two miner heads (the ones you can sell ore to) can marry after their favor increases, and you can move into their homes with them.

LOD has been generated for this area.

Installation requirements

Skyrim Special Edition 1.5.80 or higher.

Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition patch 4.1.9 or higher.

Do not extract the contents of the BSA file into the Data folder as loose files, or have the mod manager perform an equivalent function on the file contents. Doing this will cause things to load in the wrong order and break the game. Skyrim is designed to load BSA and its ESM/ESP files. Bypassing this will cause issues that I won't provide support for. If you persist in opposing this suggestion, you will not be supported by the problems that will arise from it.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are some wolf spawns in the vanilla game that will appear in the cave where the gold mine is now at the south end of the village. They may have produced several of them. Please make sure you kill them before installing this mod so they don't end up destroying the locals.

If the quest "Kyne's Sacred Trials" is currently active, please complete it before installing this mod as its location has been moved to the other side of Lakeview Manor and will only be updated if the quest is not active.

Installation - Wrye Bash BAIN

Drag and drop the archive into the Skyrim Special Edition Mods\Bash Installers folder and install as usual.

Make sure the mod is active in the Wrye Bash mods tab.

Installation - Mod Manager / Vortex

Use the "Download with Manager" button on the Skyrim Special Edition page. The installer should take care of things from there.

Then just make sure it has the mod activated.

Installation manual

Place the Oakwood.esp, Oakwood.bsa and Oakwood-Textures.bsa files into the Data folder.

Activate the mod using whatever management tool works for you.

uninstall

Due to the nature of Skyrim mods, especially those that add scripts, it is strongly recommended not to attempt to uninstall mods from the active game. Any mod that is more than a pure mesh or texture replacement risks leaving permanent changes on your save that you may not want. This is not something that mold can correct. This is how Bethesda designs its games. There will be no support for anyone who uninstalls this mod from the active game and continues saving.

To remove the mod: Delete the Oakwood.esp, Oakwood.bsa and Oakwood-Textures.bsa files from the Data folder. Then reload your game as usual.

Load order

LOOT should be used for optimal placement.
