I tested all links in this guide by hand, and then found and fixed any broken links, January 2011. All links should now be working.
Notable new mods added to this tutorial since late 2009…
More Detailed Places compilation 8.0. Just adds clutter in otherwise empty places.
Road Marker retexture. No more blurry road-markers looking out of place among your hi-res textures.
Dunmer Texture Fix for Better Heads and Tribunal Better Clothes for Better Bodies.
Fully documented Morrowind .ini file.
Morrowind Xbox 360 Wired Gamepad mod.
Experimental 4Gb memory patch for Windows 64-bit users. Not tested by me! Use at your own risk!
Vurt’s Groundcover 1.0 for MGE. Excellent animated and varied replacement for Vality’s grass mod. However it’s tricky to set up, and runs only when you enable the Distant Lands function of the Morrowind Graphics Extender (which swops out Morrowind’s original water) — so I’d be very reluctant to recommend it to those new to applying mods to Morrowind.
Hey! Do I see my Better Heads texture fix in there?
Yes, and very nice it looks too…
If you’re going to use the 4GB patch, make sure you do all your modding FIRST. It causes the code patch to fail with “there are no available patches for your version of Morrowind.”
Hi!
Well, I’m now installing Morrowind for first time, and I’m using your guide. I find it really good. But it seems I have a problem…
I have just installed the Big Lands addons (Tamriel Rebuilt, Silgrad Tower… I didn’t install Annastia yet). When I start the game, in the Choose Race panel, races like Falmer or Water Seraphs appear. When I choose Seraph to see what it is, it gives me error and some kind of exclamation appear in the image where the face should be, and when I want select Falmer, the game crashes to desktop. Do you know why this could happen?
Thanks.
Thanks for the info. Obviously you need the Water Seraphs mod in order to start a character as a Water Seraph. I’ll add this information to the guide. Search my guide for Water Seraphs, as I already mention the Water Seraphs mod. Download and install it. For me, this WS mod is also a requisite for the excellent Water Life.
Thank you!
To spicify, there where three new races: Falmer (when I selected them in the panel my game crashed), Water Seraphs (who appeared as an interrogant) and something like “Faliesti Elves”. I could see this last race, and they where some kind of… Sylvan elf, Lord of the Rings style. And it seems they are added by Silgrad Tower (when I disabled it, everything went OK).
Sorry for the double post, but I looked for my problem on the Internet and it seems to be something very infrequent, and in the places where I found it, it had no answer. However, after reading again Silgrad Tower Readme, I realised that it conflicts with with Tamriel Rebuilt. Although it would be strange, becaude I tried to disable TR (with Silgrad Tower enabled yet) and it kept crashing when I chose Falmer…
If I find out something, I’ll tell you
