New in version 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.

Special features


Smelter - In the smelter, located behind the cottage, you convert silver and gold nuggets to ingots. You can also melt silver items like urns, vases, spoons in order to get ingots and metal items like callipers, mugs, shears, tankards to get scrap metal. Simply put the nuggets or items in the smelter.
Five pieces of scrap metal can be converted to an iron ingot.
You can also make iron ingots from iron ore, which you can buy from the Aleswell trader.
Use the bellows to light/extinguish the fire.

Crafting Jewelry - Use the small hammer (activator) on the red cloth on the workbench to craft your own jewelry. You will need gold or silver ingots in order to do so.

Enhancing Jewelry - Use the small tongs (container) on the red cloth on the workbench to enhance your gold jewelry with gems. You will need gold or silver jewelry and appropriate gems (rubies, sapphires, emeralds or diamonds) in order to do so. Put one gem and one piece of jewelry in the container. Close the container and re-open it - your enhanced jewelry is ready!
Note that you can not make silver diamond jewelry and that you cannot make any jewelry using flawed gems.

Tanning - At the Tanning Rack in the basement you can craft leather of your bear- lion- or wolf pelts.

Leather Armor - After you have converted pelts into leather, you can create your own leather armor. Activate the leather gauntlets on the workbench in order to do this. 

Lockpicks - You can make your own lockpicks from scrap metal. Activate the lockpick on the red cloth on the basement workbench.

Repair - You can repair your armor at the basement anvil.

Armor Smithing - The Aleswell trader will sell you steel and iron ingots. You can use them to forge your own steel- or iron armor. In order to create armor, activate the steel gauntlets at the forge.

Weapon Smithing - The Aleswell trader will sell you steel and iron ingots that you can use to make your own steel- or iron weapons. If you additionally have silver ingots, you can also make silver weapons. In order to make weapons, activate the sword at the forge.

Spinning - Use the Spinning Wheel to spin your own yarn. Wool can be found in two containers in the basement, and you can buy additional wool from the Aleswell trader. Note that only Aleswell wool can be used.

Weaving - Use the loom in the basement to weave you own bolts of cloth. Note that you will need yarn for this purpose.

Sewing - There is a Sewing Chest in the same room as the loom. You can use it to make your own outfits. Note that you will need bolts of cloth for this purpose.

Statues - You can make your own statues of stones or of scrapmetal coated with gold or silver. Apart from the stone bricks you can find scattered over Cyrodiil, there is a little stone "quarry" in the Aleswell garden which will respawn regularly. Also the Aleswell trader will have some stones for sale. Activate the Mara statue in the garden to craft stone statues.
For gold- or silvercoated scrapmetal statues, you need 10 scrapmetals and 4 gold- or silver ingots. Activate the Silver Mara statue on the workbench in the basement.

Baking - You can bake your own bread in the kitchen. Note that you will need flour for this purpose (and further ingredients if you want to bake other than common bread). In order to bake, activate the flour sack on the kitchen bench. The bread loaves will show up in the oven, and once they are ready, you can take them.
