the best Morrowind mods!
- Apr 25, 2011 10:13 pm GMT
Hi all!
So, I am going to give Morrowind another try. I want to like the game, I really do, but I just cant seem to get past the first 30 minutes. The visuals definately play a role in this. Shallow, I know, but what do you want me to do!?!
Sooooo I was hoping you veterans of TES III could list your favorite, or at least the most common mods. Please provide links
I am specifically interested in:
-graphic overhauls, specifically textures
-additional items you might deem as necessary to an enhanced gameplay experience
-necessary gameplay mods that will make my experience more enjoyable.-------------------------
Stop fearing people
Before you meet them
And don't keep enemies
Until you must defeat them
My country, love it or leave it
That's **** and I don't believe it

The 2011 mod is the easiest one since it takes hundreds of separate mods and makes it as simple as running a single exe. You'll have to find it on a torrent site though since it was pulled by the guy who put it together.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

This is the mod the poster above me was referring to: http://www.gamepron.com/news/2011/01/03/morrowind-2011-mod-complete-download-here/
It's very similar to what I posted.

The 2011 mod uses MGE,though.
MGE is unoptimised and kills your performance.

MGE is fine. My Morrowind runs smooth and looks like this...
All I'm using is the Morrowind graphics and sound overhaul. You can find it at Bethesda's Modding forums I believe.

Depends where you are, my FPS is lowest in towns like Balmora and Vivec.. Also, keep in mind that I have my view distance cranked to 17 cells, and it's recommended you keep it around 12. There are so many things you can tweak to bring your FPS in line. I find a minimum of 20 FPS to be perfectly adequate, especially when the game looks so beautiful.- Please wait.

- Apr 26, 2011 5:32 am GMTA few mods I like are: - No More Cliff Racers [I hate the buggers] - Improved Faces [makes NPC's look much better] - Clean Tales of Seyda Neen [adds some quick quests to the Seyda Neen area that add some flavor and adventure] - Adul's Library Revised [+ Portable Library - requires MWSE] - allows me to collect books to my hearts content [basic mod adds a Library to the outskirts of Vivec, portable library adds a "pocket hole" library you can gain access to by finding an item in a dungeon] - A Strange Death - adds a player purchasable house to Seyda Neen with a small quest attached - Books of Vvardenfell - adds a ton of new books to the game and, of course, the Morrowind Code Patch

Phenom x4 965 clocked to 4 ghz, ati 5870 (soon to be replaced) and I play at 1920x1200 resolution with everything maxed. I haven't actually even done any bench-marking, but I've been playing the game like this for a month with no stuttering or visible framerate slowing.
But, I am curious about the framerates. I'll run the game tonight and see what fraps tells me.
