| Morrowind the game turns 14 this May, and is hailed as one of the greatest RPGs of all time. The graphics, unfortunately, remind us of its age. <BR >
| |
| This is correctable with mods, and thanks to the modding community a modern Morrowind experience is possible. <BR>
| |
| The following things are emphasized when choosing mods for this guide: <BR>
| |
| # Mods that have more detailed textures and meshes
| |
| # Mods that are closer to the vanilla style
| |
| # Mods that to "blend in" with the game environment
| |
| # Mods that perform well on modern hardware
| |

| |
| === 1.F Installing Mods ===
| |
| | |
| All files except .EXEs(they go into the game folder), needs to be placed in the data folder.
| |
| From the [http://wiki.theassimilationlab.com/mmw/Beginners_Guide MW Modding Wiki]:
| |
| | |
| "The Data Files folder (or just data folder) is where all of the data that the game uses is stored. <BR>
| |
| That's the music, textures, meshes, etc. This is also where all mods are installed, and where their data (again the meshes, textures, music, etc) is stored. <BR>
| |
| To find the data folder, first make sure that you are looking at the game folder. From here you should see a folder called Data Files. <BR>
| |
| That's the folder we need, open it up and you should see more folders marked as Meshes, Textures, etc. <BR>
| |
| Though don't worry if you don't. You should also see some files called Morrowind.esm, Tribunal.esm, and Bloodmoon.esm. <BR>
| |
| These are master files. Mods are similar to these, but would end with .esp. These are called plugin files." <BR>
| |
| | |
| == 2. Mods ==
| |
| === 2.A Fixes ===
| |
| Note on installation: Install in the same order as listed, and always let the files overwrite.
