Yeah, TR itself isn't a bad mod with any problems, even not registering the .BSA file shouldn't have caused any problems until you tried to go to TR. Generally crashing when loading files means a mod is trying to load something it's dependent on and failing, usually because it's loading before the mod it needs. Were you loading any add-ons for TR that you would have disabled at the same time?

When I mistakenly installed part of TR to the wrong folders (misplacing the .BSA file), there was just a sea of missing meshes and textures. The game remained stable, though. This definitely sounds like an .esp being orphaned.

Nothin' disabled besides TR. Problem seemed to start when changing the MSGO options for some reason (also deleted random body parts from the animated NPCS). I've opened up the options and re-applied them again and everything seems to be fixed tho. Maybe it didn't apply fully last time for some reason?

Are there any mods that make poisons useful? I start a new game every year or so and it always winds me up that at the start, you have no real abilities but are loaded with poisonous hypha facia and bungler's bane, and apart from grinding out useless potions for XP there's no way to use them. The best I found was a full crafting mod which lets you poison arrows... Fliggerty seemed to be working on one ages ago but apparently it was never released? I'm amazed every single time by how much more beautiful this game is, 12 years later, than Oblivion and Skyrim. Sure, you move at an absolutely glacial pace, but that just gives you more time to watch the dawn breaking through the mist and trees, listen to the silt strider crying and the insects buzzing and the mudcrabs chittering, admire your character's mismatched armour of strange leathers and chitins, and contemplate how Morrowind is the best game.

Are there any mods besides the Vivec head replacer, ghost fence replacer and Holamayan replacer that attempt to make things more like the (wonderful) Morrowind concept art? (I guess anything that opens Vivec's canton up a bit is also on that list).

Naturally it has compatibility problems with mods that alter the inside of Vivec.

Never have I been as legit angry at a mod as when I realized that BTB's Equipment Improvements (which I was under the impression just re-balanced the monetary cost of items to reasonable levels) made the Boots of Blinding Speed's effect on cast instead of constant.  If I wanted a game where I couldn't break poo poo with relative ease, I wouldn't be playing Morrowind FFS. smokyprogg fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Feb 9, 2014 |

That's sort of the idea behind BTB's stuff, though. Installing BTB and then getting angry that it's somewhat harder to break the game is sort of silly. I mean, you can't really read a single one of his readme/rants without him saying something like that.

You can always edit that out  BTB's mods are a zero-sum experience. You gain a lot by standardizing spells and equipment, but lose a lot of fun with the weird idiosyncrasies of morrowind. Keep in mind BTB has never played morrowind. He's admitted that he's only looked at databases of spells and equipment and altered them to what he thinks would be fun.

It gets echoed on forums like GameFAQs a lot, with people repeating what somebody else said who swore they read him write that somewhere once. EDIT: It may be true that he stopped legitimately playing the game once he started making his mod, and just started picking everything apart "like a developer would" and crunching numbers. But he has played the game. Cream-of-Plenty fucked around with this message at 08:04 on Feb 9, 2014 |

Ah, that would make sense. I know a while back someone on gamefaqs got mad and asked if BTBB had even playtested it, he responded something like "No, I don't play morrowind". It's probably more likely he just hasn't playtested it, not "hasn't played it at all". Although both are pretty funny

Never really thought about it but yeah the whole canton might be lower than it should be if you need to realistically account for the canalworks and underworks. They're still there though, via a door on the main level, and mostly unchanged as far as I can tell.

Is there a mod that just ups the money on Creeper and Mudcrab Merchant a bit so I don't have to go through a whole rigamorale when I want to sell them something expensive? I found a couple that are  MAXIMUM MEGA CREEPER MOD which give them all sorts of extra stuff and I can always snag one of those but I'd prefer a simpler one.

Also BTB has played Morrowind, these days he just looks at the construction set and the underlying numbers. If you read through the Readmes of each of his mods, you'll see that the changes make sense, he really is only touching formulas and the like and making the game less "gamey".

Did an export of Morrowind.esp's enchantments to override BTB's equipment changes, so it keeps the nicely re-valued equipment, as well as the broken-rear end vanilla artifacts. Woo!

Looks like it's been done for you already, but you can just edit their available money in the Construction Kit. I've never done any other modding in my life but I found that particular change pretty easy when I wanted to make it (this was a long ago install, admittedly.)

Sure enough, I opened it in TESame and found it edited 20 GMSTs. I deleted those references, resaved it, and uploaded it here. Why this is important: Morrowind is weird, in that if you touch anything or even breathe on it funny, it saves a record of it in the esp. If you override GMSTs/anything else in a mod, any mod that intentionally changes these would have no effect.

Before cleaning tools a decade ago the standard procedure was "Don't touch anything not related to your mod. Don't click on any menus, don't click on any items if you don't have to." People would remake mods a few times just to ensure they didn't touch anything they didn't have to. You can usually see what was edited with the * next to it in the CS. All it takes is clicking on it, or clicking on something related to it for it to register a change, and therefore stores the value in the esp. But sometimes it doesn't and you're fine.

The problem with game settings in particular is that the Construction Kit will automatically include the default game settings of all loaded .esm files and plugins in mods you create or edit. Which is bad if you only loaded Morrowind.esm, because the add-ons changed some settings and added new ones, like the werewolf stuff. So you either have to make sure to load all relevant base files, which needlessly increases your plugin's dependencies, or clean it afterwards with TEStool or whatever. The UESP wiki has a decent write-up about this.

So I have some wonderful mods which alter the landscape of Ebonheart and Ald-Ruhn and now all MGSO grass in these areas are like 5 feet off the ground and blinding to walk through. Is there any fix/work around to make the grass conform to the new landscapes?

I'm afraid to ask, but are there any combat mods that make melee combat in Morrowind less lovely? I'm not even talking about mods that let you do special moves like backstabs and head chopping off, I'd settle for something as simple as "never miss but there's a cooldown after each weapon swing before you can attack again" or even something that makes you never miss but drains stamina much more aggressively and treats it like Dark Souls stamina.

You can, though I don't remember how.  think it involves a utility that generates animated grass, and excluding specific cells at some point so mods adding the same area don't compete and have the problem you're having. I've got a modded to hell copy of Morrowind but it's been "complete" for a couple years so I haven't actually done anything complicated in forever.I too have several expanded mods for Ebonheart and had to make them play nice.

It hasn't been updated except for hotfix, but it is still highly recommended. Some parts of it are out of date by now I think (mlox, which is like morrowind's BOSS) but in no way should that be a problem unless you start trying to pile a bunch of mods on top of it haphazardly.

Yeah, I probably won't have too many mods. I was thinking of just the Overhaul, Tamriel Rebuilt and Galsiah's character development. I'd like suggestions for other gameplay related mods, but I still have a bunch of questlines I haven't played after all these years so vanilla should be good enough for me.
