| '''The STEP Solution''' <BR>
| |
| One can spend hundreds of hours just searching for mods before actually getting down to the business of installing them. <BR>
| |
| As mods increase in number and complexity and mod creators produce more and more mods that alter game play, interface and settings, <BR>
| |
| the probability of game-crashing conflicts increases. The STEP project takes care of the heavy lifting associated with sifting through thousands of mods <BR>
| |
| and selecting the ones that significantly enhance and improve the vanilla experience without detracting from it <BR>
| |
| with as little cost as possible in terms of performance. Users are able to follow detailed, step-by-STEP manual-installation instructions <BR>
| |
| and be confident that all components have been individually tested by the community and the results verified. <BR>
| |
| This cuts down on a vast amount of time and headache dealing with sampling, testing and troubleshooting. <BR>
| |
| That being said, should you have any questions during or after the install, then don't hesitate to join our [https://discord.gg/sAXxfad Discord server!]

| |
|
| |
|
| === 1.A Install Morrowind ===
| | This guide has moved! Morrowind graphics guide can found at [https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Morrowind_graphics_guide the Nexus Wiki]. <BR> |
| | | Should you have any questions then don't hesitate to join at MGG's [https://discord.gg/92TuAKw Discord room!] |
| === 1.B Install Utilities ===
| |
| We will use Mod Organizer 2 to install our mods. It creates a virtual Data Folder which allows us to re-arrange and install/uninstall mods easyily.<BR>
| |
| Some of the mods need special installation instructions as a lot of Morrowind mods are not packed properly for use with MO2. <BR>
| |
| We will gladly take this little amount of extra work for MO's advantages. Once you get used to it, it becomes easy to use.

| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| Installing MGE XE with Mod Organizer 2:<BR>
| |
| 1. Extract all contents except the Data Files folder to your Morrowind directory. <BR>
| |
| 2. Drop the archive into ...\Mod Organizer\downloads. <BR>
| |
| 3. Start Mod Organizer 2 and on the right hand side you will see some tabs (Plugins | Archives | Data | Saves | Downloads).<BR>
| |
| 4. Click on the download tab. You should see MGE XE there. Ignore the warning sign.<BR>
| |
| 5. Double click it. You'll the folder structure. It tells you there is no game data on top ([https://imgur.com/a/zF6qYYV picture]).<BR>
| |
| 6. Right click on Data files and click "Set Data Directory". It should say "looks good" now. Untick XE Sky Variations.esp and click ok.<BR>
| |
| 7. It will install the Data Files contents of MGE XE. Go to the left hand side of MO where you should see MGE XE now and tick the empty box.<BR>
| |
| 8. Now click on the drop down menu left of the "run" button. Click <edit...>. Type MGE XE in Title and choose MGEXEgui.exe for Binary. <BR>
| |
| 9. Click add and close (not x!).<BR>
| |
| 10. Done. We will come back to it later.<BR>
| |
| | |
| === 1.D About MGE and downloading shaders ===
| |
| | |
| The latest Morrowind graphic extender enables higher resolutions, better shaders, bump-mapping, and much more. <BR>
| |
| All extra shaders and settings can be downloaded [https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/45257/ here]. <BR>
| |
| After install, adjust the resolution to what the system is using(for example 1920 x 1080).
| |
| | |
| === 1.E System Requirements ===
| |
| This is the minimum specifications for a good gaming experience, anything more powerful than this will run fine. <BR>
| |
| OpenMW is an performance friendly and cross-platform alternative to MGE, but requires avoiding certain mods, many cannot <BR>
| |
| be easily deactivated after installing them. OpenMW does not support shaders.
| |

| === 1.F Installing Mods ===
| |
| '''Read this carefully!'''
| |
| | |
| We already installed MGE XE for use with MO2. It was a little bit involved but don't worry, most of the other mods will be straight forward to install.<BR>
| |
| For most mods that are hosted on Nexus you will have a direct download link in the guide. To make use of this perform the following:<BR>
| |
| 1. Go into Mod Organizer, then to settings (the button with tools in it) and the Nexus tab. <BR>
| |
| 2. If you have an account you can log-in there. Click "Associate with "Download with manager" links. <BR>
| |
| 3. Drag & drop all servers except for CDN (free) and Europe#1 (premium) to Preferred Servers. <BR>
| |
| 4. Click ok<BR>
| |
| | |
| If you download a mod with a direct link you simply have to go to the Downloads tab in MO and double click the mod you just downloaded. <BR>
| |
| Always choose install manual (if not it will be noted in the mods instructions). MO wants the contents of Data Files folder on top.<BR>
| |
| These are /meshes, /textures, /icons, etc. If it says "looks god" you can click ok and let it install. If it says "No game data on top",<BR>
| |
| you have to find the Data Files, right click it and click "Set data directory". Click ok and check the mod in the left pane.<BR>
| |
| You can uncheck unnecessary files and folders like screenshots, readmes, docs etc. But notice that I won't notify that if it's not necessary.<BR>
| |
| <BR>
| |
| The following pictures will explain the process:<BR>
| |
| | |
| [[File:install mods 1.JPG|600px]][[File:install mods 2.JPG|600px]][[File:install mods 3.JPG|600px]]
| |
| | |
| If you have to download a mod that is not on the nexus you have to perform another step. Download the mod and drop it manually to ...\Mod Organizer\downloads. <BR>
| |
| It should now appear in the Downloads tab in MO from where you can perform the installation as described above.<BR>
| |
| Alternatively you can click on the small Tool button with an arrow, click install mod and lead it to the archive.<BR>
| |
| There are some mods that are packed in a complicated way. If that is the case you will find detailed installation instructions.
| |
| | |
| == 2. Mods ==
| |
| <big>Note: If you want a simpler setup try [http://wiki.step-project.com/BasicMW BasicMW] instead. <br />
| |
| The guide is meant to be installed in order from top to bottom. Alternatives are meant to be installed <u>instead</u> of the Main mod.<br />
| |
| I can't provide installation instructions for alternatives. <u>Read the instructions carefully to avoid problems!</u> </big>
| |
| | |
| === 2.A Fixes & patches ===
| |
| Note on OpenMW compatibility: This requires selecting the non-bump mapped versions of mods.
