| |
| | |
| '''Disclaimer''': This is a guide intended to help first-time modders make their modding experience as successful as possible.
| |
| The guide has been split into a number of small sections for your convenience.
| |
| | |
| Neither S.T.E.P. or I are responsible for users who do not install the recommended mods carefully and end up breaking their game. We are also NOT responsible if a user's system is not capable of handling the recommended mods.
| |
| | |
| '''Requirements''':
| |
| Any questions or issues related to this guide will be addressed on the STEP: [http://forum.step-project.com/topic/12169-morroblivion-overhaul/ Morroblivion Overhaul] forum. I encourage all users of this guide to register on the forum. For live assistance, discord members may join [https://discord.gg/qRQp7gY The Morroblivion Help Desk] hosted by ponyrider0. I also encourage feedback and suggestions. While I am an experienced modder, I am by no means a master.
| |
| | |
| '''''Notice''''': It is particularly important that new users begin with a clean installation of both Morrowind and Oblivion in order to be successful with their modding setup the first time through, so '''PLEASE READ EACH SECTION CAREFULLY''', as no information included in this guide is irrelevant! Due to the many steps one must take in order to successfully install each mod, this will be a tedious and time consuming project. It is recommended that you take the time to save all changes made to any files so that if you have to revert back to any part of this guide you can more easily retrieve the files you made any necessary changes to.
| |
| | |
| This guide has been created by experimenting with many online guides and modifying others recommendations to suit my own personal tastes. Mods tailored for Morroblivion are noted for convenience.
| |
| | |
| You must have LEGAL copies of BOTH Oblivion GOTY and Morrowind + All DLC’s.
| |
| | |
| '''''IMPORTANT: READ the developer’s information provided before performing any installations. The instructions provided within this guide are only suggestions that work for the majority of users. Not all users have the same system setup.'''''

| |
| Each mod or tool is preceded by a tag for easier management of the guide:
| |
| | |
| * <div style="cursor:default; border-radius:2px; width:42px; height:16px; background-color:#006666; background:-webkit-linear-gradient(#006666, #669999); background:-moz-linear-gradient(#006666, #669999); background:-o-linear-gradient(#006666, #669999); background:linear-gradient(#006666, #669999); text-align:center; display:inline-block; padding:1px;"><span style="font-size:12px; color:#A8C9A7; line-height:1em;"><i><b>CORE</b></i></span></div> - This mod is a full part of the guide and is expected to be installed.
| |
| * <div style="cursor:default; border-radius:2px; width:42px; height:16px; background-color:#1a1a1a; background:-webkit-linear-gradient(#1a1a1a, #cccccc); background:-moz-linear-gradient(#1a1a1a, #cccccc); background:-o-linear-gradient(#1a1a1a, #cccccc); background:linear-gradient(#1a1a1a, #cccccc); text-align:center; display:inline-block; padding:1px;"><span style="font-size:12px; color:#ffffff; line-height:1em;"><i><b>TOOL</b></i></span></div> This isn't a mod, but a modding utility to be used during your modding adventure.
| |
| * <div style="cursor:default; border-radius:2px; width:70px; height:16px; background-color:#cc6699; background:-webkit-linear-gradient(#cc6699, #CC0099); background:-moz-linear-gradient(#cc6699, #CC0099); background:-o-linear-gradient(#cc6699, #CC0099); background:linear-gradient(#cc6699, #CC0099); text-align:center; display:inline-block; padding:1px;"><span style="font-size:12px; color:#F0D1E0; line-height:1em;"><i><b>Optional</b></i></span></div> - This mod is optional. This is an addition considered useful to the setup, but might be more of a personal preference.
| |
| * <div style="cursor:default; border-radius:2px; width:80px; height:16px; background:-webkit-linear-gradient(#434343, #000000); background:-moz-linear-gradient(#434343, #000000); background:-o-linear-gradient(#434343, #000000); background:linear-gradient(#434343, #000000); text-align:center; display:inline-block; padding:1px;"><span style="font-size:12px; color:#ffcc00; line-height:1em;"><i><b>Morroblivion</b></i></span></div> - This mod is specifically tailored for Morroblivion.
| |
| | |
| '''Terminology''':
| |
| * '''Plugin''' - any .esp or .esm file.
| |
| * '''ESM''' - Elder Scrolls Master. Usually saved as a .esm file, which has the same format as a .esp file, only one bit (as in, one bit of a byte) is different.
| |
| * '''ESP''' - Elder Scrolls Plugin. Most mods are ESPs, but some are ESMs. Their format is the same, but the game handles them slightly differently in some specific cases.
| |
| * '''ESS''' - Elder Scrolls Save. Your saved games. This is loaded after all the ESPs and ESMs are loaded, so that its changes (like what items are in which containers) can override what the plugins say.
| |
| * '''BSA''' - Bethesda Softworks Archive. Sort of like a .zip file, but specific to Bethsoft's games, and optimized (sort of) for their specific usage.
| |
| * '''Load Order''' - The order that your mods (ESPs and ESMs) are loaded. When conflicts occur, the last loaded conflict "wins".
| |
| * '''Install Order''' - The order that files are installed into your Data folder. When multiple packages install the same file, the last installed package "wins".
| |
| * '''Loose File(s)''' - A resource file in the Data folder that's "loose", as in not packaged into a BSA.
| |
| * '''FormID''' - A unique ID assigned to each "record" of a plugin. Each object in the game is defined by a record, and each record has a FormID. A FormID is 32-bits, with the first 8 bits defining which ESM or ESP the record belongs to.
| |
| * '''Vanilla''' - A term referring to Skyrim as distribute by Bethesda and Steam. This means no modifications have been done. Alludes to the "plainness" of the vanilla ice-cream flavor.
