I've been playing Morrowind again and it's wild all the extremely cool mods that have come out in the past couple years since I last played. I feel like it speaks volumes about how good MW is that modding is still so active and innovative after nearly 20 years. I don't pay quite as much attention to them but Oblivion and Skyrim seem pretty stagnant nowadays in that regard.

Skyrim still has a huge community but the number of quality and innovative mods is down. Morrowind is in the middle of its mwse renaissance which makes it a neat comparison. Numbers are only half the story

I love all the new MWSE mods, along with Intelligent Textures and MWSE grass. It makes my mod list much shorter and Mod Organizer 2 makes it so much easier to mod. I think I have my modding done for this playthrough, but it looks like Darknut's Dwemer greater ruins thing that's needed for the Dwemer Rebirth Project I've seen recommended doesn't have a Tamriel Rebuilt patch that's up to date with build 19.12. Anyone have any idea if not having that patch will gently caress up anything?

So I never actually beat morrowind, despite putting hundreds of hours into farting around. I just played some Fallout 4 and it's suckiness combined with the fantasy music made me think, maybe a good morrowind reinstall is in order, and it sounds like there are some excellent mods in the mix that are relatively new? I remember historically enjoying Morrowind as a spellsword with a focus on restoration/alteration and swords/medium armor, so that's probably what I'd go with this time. in terms of mods is it just the MSWE and the top stuff on nexus? any advice for someone who never did the actual story or saw the expansion areas?

Phone posting so I don't have the mod handy, but I have a mod that lets you cast spells with your weapons out, I'd call it pretty essential for a spell sword playthrough. Medium armor is doable, but Light or Heavy is probably better. Long Sword is probably the easiest weapon skill.

I don't pay quite as much attention to them but Oblivion and Skyrim seem pretty stagnant nowadays in that regard. oblivion modding is dead because the engine is utterly shambolic you can't design your mods exclusively for people who have done all of the obscure little tweaks necessary to make a heavily-modded oblivion stable, so there is only so much memory available. for all that morrowind is famously a bit temperamental about mods, the engine is not hard-throttled to the specs of the xbox like oblivion is throttled to the specs of the xbox 360. there is only so much you can do when the game is only half-able to recognize that it's running on a supercomputer by the standards of 2006. plus if you put all of the good mods together that exist right now and are compatible with each other, oblivion literally starts to crash simply because of the number of mods. there's not a lot of room left on the modlist of the kind of person who's still interested in oblivion mods in tyool 2020. that's part of why maskar's is architected in the way that it is, as a single mod with a huge range of options instead of a bunch of mini-mods. edit: and lol if you tried to create a MWSE equivalent for oblivion it would poo poo itself IMMEDIATELY. stability is why the script-y mods like deadly reflex never really took off. what i'm saying is, open oblivion when Jazerus fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Feb 26, 2020 |

Good timing, I just updated the OP of the thread with a bunch of mods that came out in 2019. You'll definitely want the essentials there, plus MWSE. After that, you can pick and choose from the lists. I wouldn't recommend just using the top of the nexus, since while some of the top ones must-haves, there are better alternatives for some of them in the OP. The expansion areas (in vanilla) have a lot of high-level enemies, so I recommend staying away until you're ready.

Looking at my mod list and not being able to find it, google tells me it's included in the Morrowind Code Patch, which you should definitely be using to begin with https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/19510/ quote:Swift casting. Allows casting from any stance with the ready magic button. Ready spell stance is still available with the M key. Basically, in vanilla Morrowind you had a spell slot and would hit R to ready that and then you'd cast the spell by clicking the mouse and you would hit F to ready your weapon and then attack by clicking the left mouse button, this makes it so instead, hitting R just casts whatever spell you had set up. It's an optional component, so you might have to enable it in the MCP setup thingie.

I've plugged morrowind abodes itt. Nice selection of houses, nothing too fancy aside from the Vivec one, but even that's just large and has plenty of storage. Absolutely nailed local architecture in each house. Sadly MW mod history is migrating to a new server and is currently down so I'm not sure where to get it.

Ok, so the big list that MBT posted and especially next generation combat triggered me to get my yearly morrowind modding spree done. Some questions: Ill go with intelligent textures and the mesh fixes in MBTs 2019 list. Are the more mesh fixes/updates/changes that I should install? For characters I guess Ill use better bodies/better heads. I want good looking character models that do not turn everybody into a barbi or ken doll though. Is that a good combination for that? Do I need "Texture fix" (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/46018)? It seems like it fixes an issues with the world layout that does not take into account a restriction of the engine, so I sounds like it would be useful in addition to the texture mod. Regarding balance/gameplay: I think I will just use MORTs levelling mod that got posted some pages ago. Then I have the anti-cheese and Half11s Misc Mods. Then I add Tribunal/Bloodmoon Rebalance and beware the 6th house (the triggers for the expansions are "ExpansionDelay"ed). The I add "Harder Barter". Will this be playable or will I grind my rear end off to get anywhere? Should I add "BTS's Game improvements" (http://mw.modhistory.com/download-53-13679) from the OP to that? The description in the link is not complete, so its hard to tell what that mod actually changes in detail. And the "one of a kind" mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/44923/) seems interesting. However, "one spawn in the whole gameworld" per daedric weapon is incredibly rare considering the size of the gameworld. How much will this gently caress me over at high levels? Regarding character creation: Can someone recommend a mod that lets me start in different places of the gameworld (including TR if that is possible). Bonus points if that mod is compatible with "Merlord's Character Backgrounds".

oh boy lets see if i can answer all of these -better bodies/heads is good -texture fix isn't necessary but I think it's fine if you install it before intelligent textures -tribunal/bloodmoon make those expansions *easier* not harder. that is a capital G Good thing. If you're slowing your progression with a mod like Proportional Progression (recommended) then you won't be level 50 going into bloodmoon, you'll be like 30. I like going to tribunal/bloodmoon early. I think the sixth house should be the last thing you ever do, its a true existential threat to tamriel so i made fighting them basically a death sentance for low level characters. it rules. harder barter affects item prices on a log scale. items worth 100000 are cut by much more than items worth 10 (which aren't changed). you'll survive just fine -BTB's game improvements oh nooooooooo, THAT is grindy and anti-fun. i really really do not like it at all. one of his improvements was preventing the player from EVER making constant effect enchants because "they're OP". gently caress that noise -one of a kind is another one of mine and I think it's great. I include a text file with the locations if you're really antsy. My process was looking at an item like daedric claymores, and seeing that it has a few spawns, some of them just as random treasure in a tomb, and one of them STABBED INTO A PILE OF SKULLS  i kept that one and removed the rest. I do not invent new spawns out of nothing, so reading the uesp list of daedric items and checking every location will eventually get you all of them. -https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/44615 this is the best startmod, also merlord's character backgrounds are *kisses fingers italianly*

I was more thinking that it's just a huge pain in the rear end to manage a bajillion active buffs every time you fight instead of just having constants. Nothing says riveting game play like 3 - click - 4 click - 5 - click 6 - click -- oh poo poo that wasn't the ring I thought it was, time to redo my hotkeys. But that too I suppose.
