For awhile I've been experiencing some visual problems with how the Imperial City is displaying when I'm outside its walls.

The White-Gold Tower is not visible when outside the IC.

The large outer walls are usually not visible when outside the IC, but when I approach them they 'pop' into existence.

This isn't game-breaking, but as you might imagine it is rather silly-looking.

I'm not sure what the cause is here, but I wonder if it might have something to do with an attempt at installing Really Almost Everything Visible While Distant. It was months and months ago when I did that, and it was (I think) right around that time when the problems began. Specifically, I believe I enabled or installed the part of RAEVWD that affected Ayleid ruins and the cities. (As a side note, I don't mean to suggest that that mod somehow 'broke' my game - it's very likely an error on my part.)

The problem is, I can't just get rid of RAEVWD, since it doesn't apparently come with an .esp or something I can deactivate simply. I suspect it made changes that I can't undo unless I get involved in files I have little knowledge of. Since it's not in my list of active plugins I don't know how to deal with it.

I clearly got in over my head.

So I'm wondering if my best option at this point is an uninstall/reinstall of Oblivion. What do you think? Would that solve the problem, or is there something else I can try?
