Note: The body model in the picture below is actually a beta released by one of the modders at the forum.
A new version of Better Bodies is nearing completion and should (crosses fingers) be released soon.
NPC Replacer
Guilty Party: Zero the Hero
An alternative to Better Heads, and actually the one I use at the moment.
Requires: None
Female Shirt Pack
Guilty Party: Avenger
Now you can tell when a persons a woman from 100 yards! or something. A definite plus in the clothing department!
Requires: None
Female Pants
Guilty Party: Prosey
Similar to the shirt pack, but for pants. Now females don't have to carry around an extra package.
Requires: None
Various Robe Replacers and Enhancers
Guilty Party: Canadian Ice, HG, Lillia, etc.
Sorry I can't be more specific, but I haven't downloaded any of these. Appear to make robes on females more
feminine as well as adding a few custom robes. Should be good stuff.
Requires: None?
Sharpened Weapons/Armor/Clothes
Guilty Party: Jake the Snake
Replaces Bethesda textures with sharper ones by Jake the Snake on all Weapons, Armor and Clothing.
Requires: None
Texture Packs
Morrowind Visual Pack V2.11 and V2.2 "Nature Pack"
Guilty Party: Zuldazug, Raptre, Lord Gabryael and Ayse
Updates the muddy textures to a higher resolution and higher quality.
grass atually looks like grass! AMAZING!
Requires:None
Fantasy Colored Morrowind
Guilty Party: Brash
Another texture pack, this one with a brightly colored theme. I've heard it reminds people of old school NES games
and I've also heard that it burns some people retinas. Different Strokes you know? A quality alternative anyways
Requires: None
Landscape Remix
Guilty Party: Albedo
A Texture pack more along the lines of Morrowind VP/Nature pack then Fantasy Colors. Less extensive then
MVP, and doesn't appear to be as high a resolution. If you MVP gives you performance problems you might
want to consider this one instead.
Requires:None
Flora and Fauna
Varieties of Trees
Guilty Party: Ayse's, models done by Dracus, LadyE, JDooby & N'Dib
Gorgeous forest placed in a few places around morrowind. Stunning really, but hard on performance
This link also has some seasonal foliage downloads, look great.
Gardeners of Morrowind
Guilty Party: Angry Porcupine Studios, models by Dracus, LadyE, JDooby & N'Dib
An ambitious project to replace all tree's in Vardenfell. It's still a work in progress, but allready
the Ascadian Isle Region is gorgeous to look at. Can't wait for it to be completed.
Requires: None
New Tree's Replacer
Guilty Party: Zero the Hero
Similar to Gardeners of Morrowind, replaces trees throughout Ascadian Isle Region with previously mentioned
tree models. Should be good stuff, if higher end
Requires: None?
General Ambience
Atmospheric Sound Effects
Guilty Party: Duncan
Do get this, even if you don't want anything else here. It adds so
much to the ambience of Morrowind, I'd hate to be without it.
Window Lights
Guilty Party: ModMan
Ambience is in the little things, and this mod is great for that. Adds lights
to windows at night all over Vardenfell.
The Lighting Mod, Complete
Guilty Party: Sensei
Tweaks the lighting all over morrowind. Affects sneaking and theiving skills, while adding
much ambience to dungeons and indoors. I haven't played but I hear it's quality
Requires: Tribunal
Realistic Color Config 4 Morrowind
Guilty Party: Daerk
Came highly recommended. I used it and it looked nice enough, but it disabled my fog.
Requires: None
Ring Texture Fix
Guilty Party: Random Name
Adds the textures Bethesda intended to have on the rings, but forgot to enable.
More of a bug fix really, but helps out aesthetically. Get it.
Requires: None
True Gold
Guilty Party: FrostByte
Replaces the dull gold texture with a new texture based on Roman coins, I think. Either way it looks nice.
Requires: Nonde
Real Signs
Guilty Party: Matthias Kath
Replaces the arcane text on signposts with english text in a Morrowind-esque font. Nice if you don't like
having to run right up to a sign to read it.
Requires: None
Water 2.0
Guilty Party: FalkinBlue
Changes the water to be more blue and less muddy.
Requires: None
I think that's just about it for the essentials. Bare in mind I don't have Bloodmoon or Tribunal, so while I've seen a few
that require those that look quite nice (one that adds more travelers to Vardenfell looks cool), I can't try them myself
and can't vouch for their quality. If you have any Bloodmoon or Tribunal mods (or other Morrowind mods I missed) that should be added,
and you can assure me that they are quality, I'll add them. Or, if you happen to be the author of one of these mods and wish to correct
some information or send me a newer or better link, feel free to do so. Just send your Emails to Nevermind10000@bolt.com
The Evidence!
Note that not all mods have pictures up yet. Hopefully I'll get them ALL up someday.
True Gold
Real Signs
Water 2.0
NPC Replacer
Window Lights
Gardeners of Morrowind
Female Shirt Pack/Prosey's female pants
Before and After
A few notes:
Vanilla Morrowind on left, Enhanced on right
Vanilla Morrowind is a clean install with only 3 modifications to it,
1. Max FPS changed to 75
2. Screenshots turned on (duh)
3. Mod used to get rid of troublesome CharGen notes
Enhanced Morrowind has these mods
FPS was turned on, but after resizing the pics you can hardly read it. So I'll just say this,
These mods DID negatively affect performance, upwards of 15 FPS in places.
Beauty can be rather taxing at times but I found it worth the cost
Ahemmusa Camp
Balmora Couryard
Default Breton Male (IE the first one that pops up when Breton is selected in Character Generation)
Ebonheart, looking south
Ebonheart, keep
East of Suran
East of Odai Platuea, near Egg Mine
Suran, western entrance
Suran, in town
Zainab Camp
Conclusion!
Morrowind can be a very beautiful game, but only after much downloading and sacrficing performance. Of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder
and maybe you find a higher Frame rate more beautiful than the mods recommended here. Your choice my friends, I for one will keep my forests
