Can anyone recommend a good mod that reduces spell costs as your skill increases? And/or a mod that does a rebalance of spell costs for poorly balanced spells.

I can't find the one I used last time, but I found this one

https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/45058/

which looks good and combines another function I like, more xp for more expensive spells so you don't feel the need to spam cheap spells constantly when you get powerful enough to cast bigger spells.

Thank you for this, looks like this will get me about 70% of the way toward what I was after.

Update on my khajit: I powergamed a bit too hard and am like level 40 right as I finished the third trial. I decided to start up a new character and avoid a few especially cheesy strategies like a one second fortify attribute spell to get around training skills above their governing attribute.

On my last character I encountered the boots of blinding speed quest for the first time ever and I swear to god I don't know how I never walked down that road before. Since I couldn't use them on the khajit I figured I'd try them out with the new character. What a ridiculous item. I can't make up my mind on if the designer who put them in was aware of how easily the blind effect was to circumvent.

So I'm running around fast and dabbling in alchemy so I expect the characters power will spiral out of control very soon

Tried to reinstall this after finally finishing Witcher 3, googled a guide posted on Nexus Mods and ended up with basically the essential mods from the OP, but could NOT get the enhanced textures to load.

Looking at the OP, I see that I didn't install to C:, didn't make sure I was running as admin, and didn't change a graphics setting in game after changing the date (also changed the dates with a cmd prompt I googled instead of using wyremash). Frustrating to spend my evening troubleshooting rather than playing, but I know it'll be worth it once I get it done.

I'm going to start over with a fresh install to C:, following the OP and using Mod Organizer 2, and installing the essential mods in the OP and the recently posted map mod. I'll cry here for help if I can't get it, always appreciate you all when I inevitably return to Morrowind.

Edit: I'm playing with the French language version installed from Steam, hopefully that doesn't matter.

Most mods that affect dialogue (ie any that arent just textures, including tamriel rebuilt and some patch mods) wont work on nonenglish

Ugh, the language is important me. Do you know if the patches in the OP would be affected? The code, optimization, and purist patches?

Mcp supports multiple language binaries, optimization is just textures so that is fine

purist requires english mw, as does its predecessor mpp

Ok, I think those high res textures only requires MGE XE, so I may be able to get a list of noneglish compatible mods I can work with; I'm really more interested in updating the graphics than patching the gameplay (or at least, I can live with that limitation if I have to), so maybe I can make this work.

For the patch, look here: https://morromods.wiwiland.net/spip.php?article1022

Since a lot of bugs are in dialogues (and they're not necessarily the exact same bugs as in the original English version, either), most of the PNO was made from scratch instead of translating whichever version of the Unofficial Morrowind Patch was mainstream back then.

Wiwiland is basically the main site for TES mods in French, there's a bunch of stuff there, some of which are translated versions of English-language mods, but there's also a fair number of original creations.

It's mildly concerning that I instantly thought this as soon as I read that post. Lore so deep I can tell you about fictional alcoholic drinks of Morrowind

BTW did anyone else amass a collection of drinks to pile up in your house? Every house I had would have a collection of vintage brandy, Dagoth brandy, skooma, etc in the corner somewhere.

I mostly stacked them up in front of Creeper (the ones I couldn't sell anyway).
