I think it's compatible with Sadrith Mora's overhaul--I don't use RP's Sadrith but I use most of the mods it was built off of, and few things seem to put anything in that spot. I know it cooperates with RP's Gnisis-lite, which it doesn't with the full HoTV Gnisis. Vivec's apartments are fine, except with Rethinking Vivec, because it puts an apartment in the waistworks and Rethinking Vivec merges the waistworks in the FQ. It's fine with any Tel Vos mods I've seen. Ald-Ruhn home is an interior so that one works. Mar Gaan is outside the town walls so it's compatible there for the most part. Bitter coast houses and Tel Mora, Tel Branora, were all fine from what I remember.

Not sure about Balmora, I use Kilcunda's with second floors and balconies instead of what RP used as a base.

Worst to worst, just editing Welcome Home and wholesale moving the house in the construction set is pretty simple if you find one that fits poorly.

It's fairly easy. I learned how to use it when I was... 14? 15? You'll want to set Welcome Home as the active file, and select ALL the bits of the Balmora house at the same time and move it all together to somewhere else, including the exit markers. Make back-up before you fuss with it just in case.

Welcome Home is really cute and worth the effort to make compatible, although I still end up living in my own custom-built houses pretty quickly anyway. It's basically like playing with Lego all over again. I'd argue it's worth the effort learning how the CS works, and what all the pieces are, so you can build a house that's tailored to what you want out of it. In my current playthrough I spent the first 100 days in a custom built pod in Sadrith Mora, which had a bottom floor magic lab and a levitate-access-only living room just above it. Was super cozy!

Learning the kit is useful beyond that anyway in that if you encounter something in a mod that bothers you, it becomes super easy to tweak it to fit your playthrough better. If that's just, modifying a modded location to be cozier for you, or removing something that you disagree with. So long as you aren't, like, uploading edited versions of peoples' mods without permission, I don't think there's any stigma to tweaking things to suit your own playthrough's whims.

Altho it's morrowind modding it used to be a huge egofest a long time ago idk how it is these days.

Did you edit the terrain? Grass mods are only set up for the terrain they're created on, changing that is a big headache

E: not at a computer atm but if you use tesame you should be able to manually delete the terrain edits and be okay. Ask flock

lol oh man idk what i was thinking

my install got hosed up somehow, idk. ive only really been working on my own mod anyway so i backed up the .esp and nuked my morrowind install and downloaded it again.

except i forgot to backup the custom assets, which 90% of my mod is composed of, so even tho i backed up it, the mod still basically got wiped out.

i hope i can find them assets again and just slot everything back in. poo poo i think i had to import them into the cs and everything.

e: holy gently caress i think i might have to start over lol dozens of hours of work just blown up lmao

Hello I have a wild dumb question I will ask the experts.

I'm about to get two weeks off from work. A part of me is thinking of going through all of Morrowind since two uninterrupted weeks of Morrowind sounds pretty drat good.

I'd want to do

MSQ
Bloodmoon + Raven Rock
Tribunal + Museum
House Hlaalu quests
Imperial Cult quests
Legion quests

Mages Guild? maybe
Thieves Guild? maybe
Tribunal? maybe
Fighters Guild? maybe

If I've got 90ish hours roughly, about how much of that should I expect to be able to finish. Plus of course some random exploring/loving around time.

They definitely do, you can see them in the NPC window if you open an NPC up in the construction set

lol hey that's probably my mod! you can add opposed agility to it, it wouldn't be too difficult. from what i've seen in the npc stats, they have generally very low numbers in anything that isn't their specialty. mages will have security of like 5 and agility of like 10. be careful when tuning that you don't double down on that discrepency! you could multiply both by a 0.5 scalar and add them or something, or swap to agility only, see what works best.

mbt posted:

yeah thats mine. that would work, but again be careful because most npcs have bad agility so you're making it a lot easier lol

Getting back into modding this again – seeing what the newest mods are and cramming as many in as I can before going and playing something else.

Except this time when I was testing out some mods my 8yo daughter was watching me and started asking about what this was (she has played lots of Zelda and likes those). Started explaining some basics and she of course wanted to make her own character. Rolled up a woodelf who she liked the look of best. And we headed out – no expectations, no knowledge of what is around the next corner. Just heading off on an adventure.

Words can’t describe how great it is to watch someone play through this game for the first time – stuff like Ashfall makes it so much better - she is obsessed with making sure we have food and drink. Can’t wait to get into Dave’s furniture mod as well.

We are of course playing a complete good character – no stealing. No killing NPCs. Even talking to the Thieves Guild members is wrong.

Every session she is like “Dad, Morrowind is the best game ever.”

Yes. Yes it is.

I think I was a similar age when I first played this game, and I understood that he was a deadbeat: messy room, isn't dressed, seems to have more or less given up on his organisation. I remember thinking that the skooma stuff (like pipes) were similar to the other weird alchemical aparatus you get in the game.

i'm uncertain if cost of spell factors into amount of xp gained by each cast, but it works well enough for now

What's the name of this mod? I'm playing a character specializing in summoning, or that was the idea from the start. Sort of disappointed that you don't get more leveling from a more expensive, difficult to cast spell.

Trainers are for power gamers. You have to earn that poo poo through hard work.

I love that every single ingredient in Morrowind isn't a real thing, except for precious gems and bread. Diamonds and emeralds and bread are the sole universal constants. Oblivion and Skyrim having poo poo I could actually buy at the store is a huge knock against them.

Zereth posted:

I believe so, but it requires ensuring you have skills associated with the stats carefully arranged in your major/minor/misc categories and being careful about what you level. Maximum level without using exploits/bugs to go higher is 78, and that's assuming you don't have any bonuses to your major or minor skills in character creation, so in practice it'd be lower.

If you are doing that, the longest part is Luck, which will take you until level 51 assuming you picked it as a favored attribute in a custom class.

OTOH, you don’t need to minmax anything because you basically have you actively try to not break the game in two

https://modding-openmw.com has some good curated modlists for your various approaches. i used one when i did a run on openmw awhile ago and it was good.

Arivia posted:

each mod has a link to a "download page." if it's on nexus, that's a nexus link, but a lot of Morrowind modding is old and is located elsewhere.
