What do you mean it didn't work? It's a morrowind mod. Put file in DATA directory, check file in game launcher. Done.

If one mod doesn't work, just download one of the 40 or so other kinds of cliff racer negation mods and try that!

Cliff racers are notoriously hard to pacify/remove for some reason. I suspect its intentional because cliff racers are the best. The only mod you need is this one.

I have a personal mod I use which dumbs down cliff racers to the point where one hit kills them. I can upload it to the Nexus if you want, although there's probably 20 others like it.

Any mods out there that makes the game more difficult, challenging or slower than usual in some ways? I really want to replay this game but I've played it through so many times that every new character ends up being overpowered within a very short time...

If not, any suggestions on personal challenges I can do? So far from what I have recalled I did a 100% hand to hand argonian whom I finished the mainquest with (on hardest). Thinking of maybe trying to do something with fork of horripilation or do some silly things with the spellmaker or enchanting.

I really love this game but it's just too easy now

BTB's Game Improvements is a five-plugin mod that will do all three of those things, and it's designed to make it more difficult to break the game (it's still possible, but not as easy) and prevent the player from becoming OP too quickly.

Also, the author's "mod list" is a pretty decent resource for seeing what other sorts of mods can be used to complement BTB and make the game more challenging. For example, he's got "Service Requirements" on the list, which makes it so that you have to be a member of a certain rank within a guild in order to use the guild's services (otherwise you have to pay a surcharge that gets increasingly expensive the further you are from the required rank).

Yeah install all of BTB's mods, which are all great. His list is a bit outdated as far as the graphic mods go, though.

Hya hya foowah!
I tried playing through Morrowind many times, and using BTB's gameplay changes was the only time I ever actually completed the main quest. There are some annoying things he does with balance, but in the end it makes the game feel more like a "game" and less like a "sandbox," if you know what I mean. He makes it so that spells you buy are actually really useful as a way to balance the fact that creating spells is not a viable option. Inevitably, you'll make so much money that you can become a god by training yourself up and buying the best services. Which I think is fine, because that's just the sort of game Morrowind is, and while it's an exponential growth in power, it happens at a rate that feels fairly natural to the game's pacing (much moreso than vanilla, at least).

There were only two real gripes that I had. One was that he nerfed the Ebony Mail immensely, to the point that I felt totally ripped off when I completed the Temple quests. And the second is that creating spells REALLY is never viable. Even as the grandmaster of the Telvanni, I remember not really being able to create good spells. I understand the balance reason but it seemed like he just cut the whole thing off like a tumor.

If you're using all his mods on that page, be sure to use the relevant MCP patches, which do make things like creating spells a bit more worthwhile.

Although all your gripes are reasonable. BTB also did a Final Fantasy 6 rom hack rebalance which is OK, although maybe not exactly the kind of game that needs it.

The 'problem' (for lack of a better word :v:) with Morrowind is that it never got quite the offload of super creepy poo poo that later Elder Scrolls/Fallout games got. Still, there's some weird stuff around. I think there was some creepy mod that allowed you to have poorly animated sex. I don't quite remember the name of it unfortunately.

There's something sort of unnerving about installing Better Bodies with full nudity, and thus having to contend with completely naked brainwashed cultists in caves that are virtually pitch black, save for the hellish glow of red candles.

I want to give this game a try, but I'm stumped at the first step. The given instructions for moving Morrowind to the C drive don't seem to make sense to me. The instructions tell you how to move all of Steam to the C drive, but not specific games. The end result wouldn't be "C:/Morrowind". What am I missing here?

You don't actually have your default steam directory under program files do you?

Oh noooo. That's okay. When you install morrowind (assuming you have zero morrowind files downloaded), you can select a directory. Ensure you have a secondary steam directory that isn't under program files.

There's a decent number of hosed up mods for Morrowind, but it doesn't approach the heights of Oblivion, Fallout and Skyrim. So if you want an open world with a bunch of hosed poo poo going on, I'd go with one of those instead.

Yeah, Morrowind might not match the insanity of the later titles in sure perversion but dammit it tried, so you gotta give them credit.

Features include:

A romance system based on one from The Sims!
Being able to visit a prostitute or make a living as one!
When having sex, you and the NPC randomly appear in house!
No actual sex scenes seen except for a fade to black and suggestive moaning/music!
:siren: When playing a female character, your fetus appears as an inventory item! :siren:
Some goddamn weird merchants who can sell you educational books and birth control/fertility enhancement items

Yes, this is the only reason Morrowind is the only game I play with the nude bodies mods. Naked Nord should have had a dong in the vanilla game.

There were a couple of horrifying text-based sex mods where you can visit brothels and do the brothel questlines (they had those, yes). One of them was called "The Kink Guild" or something and one of the highlights was a pair of nix-hounds who pooped on you.

I know about this because the author posted Muffinwind as an example of how Morrowind mods had just reached a point of being stupid and disrespectful to the source material

I installed Steam to a directory I created, C:\Games. Therefore Morrowind and all other Steam games are outside of Program Files. You can also move Steam to a different directory post-install, if you want (and you probably should if you're on Windows 7 or 8). Here are some instructions: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7418-YUBN-8129 Unless I'm missing something, all they're asking you to do is move Morrowind outside Program Files and this will most assuredly do that.

I figured out installation. Now I just need to set up all the mods I want.

I'm using Wrye Mash, which the OP says can sort load order and check dependencies. How can I do that? Somewhere I'm missing a master file, and I hope I don't have to dig for it manually. Edit: Looks like the passive animals mod was the culprit.

Is there a decent mod out there that gives beast races usable shoes? Or better animations?
