The particular mod Washout is looking for (or at least I'm looking for) would allow you to put, say, 4 points in Wisdom, 3 points in Strength, 2 points in Agility, and 1 point in Luck at the level-up screen without forcing you to precisely control which skills increase during each level and only pick three. The "always plus five" mod doesn't quite do this (although its less annoying than vanilla), and the console method gets tedious. I'll have to check, but this sort of thing may be outside of my skills as a modder if it doesn't exist.

Just thinking aloud here, but I wonder how hard it would really be to implement this. CharacterMaker has an option to redistribute your starting attirbutes and skills through a menu, so it might possible to use a similar script that's triggered on level up. In fact, I might look into this a little more deeply; does anyone know some good scripting resources?

Is there a new sound and graphics overhaul that self installs and does not require a million steps? Or is the one in the OP still the easiest to install? Honestly it looks like such a pain in the butt I'd rather just toss on better bodies and heads and call it quits. Supposedly there is one out there with a self installer that is really easy, but every time I thought I'd downloaded it, no self installer was to be found. Edit: also I ended up using MADD leveller, since just getting stats for skills is pretty much fine, even though I'd rather be able to manually assign my stats, just raising my skills and then getting stat ups seems fine.

I've never cracked MGSO open, myself, but it would seem that you could get away with skipping certain steps if you are very confident in what you're doing. But at that point, you're not really saving much time by doing this, since you'll instead be trying to figure out what you can cut out without having the world populated with big broken meshes. I am unaware of anything that matches your criteria (i.e. simply executable installers that do everything for you) unfortunately.

I used to be a repackager by trade, it was my job to distribute big upgrade software packages without any user intervention whatsoever. So it always drives me completely crazy that someone would go to all the trouble of making a big pack like this and then not just have 3 selections when it starts, choose quality, high medium low and then just be done with it, and leave all the big supplemental stuff for people that really want to mess with it.

Yeah, I totally understand. On the flipside, almost everything you install in the data files folder can be packaged up and thrown on a thumb drive for future installs. I always back up this folder because it saves me the 3 or 4 hours I would normally spend opening up .rar files and installing mods. It's not an exact science, and certain things need to be installed separately (like the MCP and Morrowind Patch Project) but 99% of your poo poo can be zipped up for future consumption.

Oggumoggogum's megapack (under "extras" in the OP) should be what you're looking for. It's basically just a bunch of mods with no installer AFAIK.

What's the method to get morrowind looking like the screenshots in the OP? Installing MSGO?

So I'm about to play Morrowind (steam version) for the first time. Is Oggumogoggum's Morrowind Mods Compilation the best thing for a first-time player? I only really care about making the graphics better/less aged to be honest, but bugfixes are cool too I guess.

I think it would work fairly well for a first-time player, but I guess I'm biased. Many people will probably recommend you play unmodded the first time through, but I think mods are okay. My mod pack intends to improve the game without essentially changing anything too much -- it doesn't add anything that doesn't fit the lore or seem out-of-place.

Longinus00 posted:What's the method to get morrowind looking like the screenshots in the OP? Installing MSGO? Some of those screenshots come from my game, and I didn't use MGSO. I installed MGE, MGE-XE on top of it, texture packs for pretty much everything in the game, and Vurt's Groundcover + Tree mods for all of the regions. The combination of those four things will make the biggest difference for you. The problem is that there are a lot of little things--some still being updated--that need to be installed to cover all of your bases if you want things looking really good. Better Bodies + Better Heads + EYES for Better Heads (so NPCs' eyes follow you). Then mesh replacements for furniture, alchemical ingredients, weapons, armor, and miscellaneous stuff (look up AnOldFriend / AOF on the Nexus or PlanetElderScrolls--his poo poo is universally fantastic.)

Installing MGSO isn't that bad. It can be a bit complicated but that is the nature of modding Morrowind. Using the install guide PDF, and the Youtube video, I had an older version (1.1) up and running with no issues in about 30 minutes. And for the sheer number of mods/replacers that it installs at once, that is an incredibly short amount of setup time.

Is there a good pack that's just quests/gameplay/bug fixes and no graphics mods? I just installed on my netbook, so graphics mods probably aren't gonna play nicely.

I just got back into this, and the first thing you should install is MGE, and run the distant land creation wizard. This was that biggest change in the game, being able to see more than five feet, and after that I've just been picking and choosing mods as I see fit. Which means it took me about 10 minutes to get playing in a much better looking game, and I'm not spending 4 hours trying to upgrade everything at once.

I use MGSO to install a base of mods. It doesn't come with Connary's textures, for instance, so I install those over top, in addition to the stuff in Knots guide, etc. It is very easy to install and comes with a wizard that basically walks you through installing it. I also run MGE-XE or whatever over top of it. It makes everything very nice.

The only reason to get Oblivion is to install Nehrim, which you can clearly tell Bethesda took some inspiration from for Skyrim as they do share a lot of similarities. In fact, it's almost eerie.

Cheers Naky (Also need to talk about Samods and your hosting - I'll drop you a mail some time). I originally went with an ork barbarian, this time (without mods) I tried a Breton Sorcerer but I found combat really tough, I basically summoned my ancestral ghost and wailed on a bandit with a fire-touch spell. Any tips for magic users? Or for now I may restart with a wood elf and go for an archer build instead...

Good news - the guys who created the MGSO are now creating the MGEO, the Morrowind Game Experience Overhaul. It's like the graphics overhaul, but for gameplay and content. KINGPIX has a thread with the full details on the Bethesda forums. For the rest of you, KINGPIX recently announced MGSO version 2.0, a less annoying version of MGSO with updated versions of the mods. It includes a "Super duperrr AutoInstaller" to take care of a lot of stuff automatically and "Many, many ,many, many new fixes". There haven't been a lot of other details other than "stay tuned" and this Youtube video.

I have a question but I am not sure if anyone can answer it. I pretty much just followed the instructions for installing mods from here, but one of the addons makes it so I can't create my own restoration spells to buff my attributes. Does anyone know which addon does this? I wanted to make a monk type class that buffs up strength/agi/speed and uses H2H, but I can't do that currently.

Seriously, I'm getting incredibly heavy Nehrim vibes from Skyrim. Magic being rare/mistrusted, a mage's college, frosty spiders, the dungeons with the unique treasures that weren't in Oblivion, the terrain is pretty similar, I'm sure there's somewhere like High Hrothgar in Nehrim but I don't remember it perfectly and there's a city in Nehrim that is reminiscent of Solitude and Whiterun.

I can't play without GCD either, but I'm not sure how to definitively fix it. :\ Try launching a few more times, and if the crash persists, give MADD Leveler a shot instead (disclaimer, I've never used this mod, but it looks like it does the same thing and people seem to approve).
