Basic Essentials 1.0

By: Qwert. Adds hunger, thirst and sleep needs via 3 separated mods :.

 

Dodging mod 1.1

By: Horatio. Unarmored is a pretty awful skill in Morrowind. The maximum AR you can get is 65 - which is far less than you can get with other armor types. Add to this the fact that you're giving up several potential enchantment slots and unarmored look like a pretty stupid choice of defensive skill. The only bonus is that you don't have to worry about lugging around or repair all that armor.

 

Falling Down 2.01

By: Duncan. This small plugin makes you keep an eye on your fatigue a little closer. You better make sure you have enough fatigue before you go into battle.

Blood & Gore v2.11

Book Rotate 4.5

By: Cydine & Maboroshi Daikon. This plugin adds scripting to every book in the game. It allows you to place books vertically and horizontally wherever you please.

 

Realistic Colour Config for Morrowind

By: Daerk. Realistic Colour Config for Morrowind (RCC4MW) is applied directly to the Morrowind.ini file, changing some of the defaults for colour, fog, and lighting options.

 

Light Based Sneaking

By: Vanhikes & qwert_44643. Where light is your enemy and darkens your ally. stay within the shadows and you shall be rewarded, venture into the light and all is lost.

Alchemy Improvements:======================================

 

Ultra Light Herbalism

By: Quert. Based on Herbalism by Balor and Korath's Herbalism Minim.

 

Potion Sorter

By: Srikandi. The original version of Morrowind sorted items in inventory alphabetically according to their internal identifiers. This usually resulted in similar things being sorted together. A patch changed things so that the inventory was sorted alphabetically by display name. This made it much easier to find homemade potions, since they were now sorted by name instead of randomly, but it made it harder to find the built-in potions (e.g. "Bargain Potion of Light"), since they were now sorted by the first word, which usually refers to the quality of the potion.

 

Please note that I couldn't put every mod here. Thats where all of you come in :)

This is an excellent idea. I've always liked the Real Signposts and Texures mods (but most don't work on my PC, piece o' pooe).

 

But are all of these included on the MWS host site? I know some of them are because i've already downloaded them. It would be useful if any of the authors who havent got their mods uploaded should do so, or maybe ask Dark0ne to make a new Sub-Topic for them to go under.

 

Cool idea tho :D

I've something to add to that. First is the recently released lighting mod named (Guess...) The Lighting Mod... Next is a tree enhancement mod that is currently in an open beta and replaces nearly all the trees in the Ascadian Isles region with larger, more detailed trees that actually have falling leaves. It is avaliable for download via a link at the bottom of this page. The modder version contains extra meshes and textures that the project is presumably going to use in other regions.

Also:

NPC Schedules by Helios, which adds scripts so that NPCs go to their homes and lock their doors at night.

Better Bodies 2.0, which replaces the rather ugly segmented bodies of Vvardenfell's residents with smoother appendages and such.

Morrowind Additions Revamped by M6n6M6(Derek), which adds just tons and tons of wildlife and items to the game.

Complete Morrowind, which allows you to do such mundane things as cook and make small fires.

Dremora Armor Drop, which will allow you to get certain Daedric items from the slaughtered bodies of Dremora and Dremora Lords.

Thanks yanks1343

 

You know it would be really nice if you could package all those MODS into one Zip and One File ... named Atmospheric Enhancements.

 

And don't forget Survial & Thirst... which adds eating, fishing, hunting, skinning, etc. to the game which rocks!

 

Then you can just have one file to download and install for Morrowind.

 

Oh and how about the Volcano Dagoth Ur erupting...

 

Just my two cents...

Not sure what you mean, Hermy. If you are referring to a particular link, much of this thread is over a year old and things may have changed. If you are saying you can't find the recommended mods on our database it could be that they are not there. Try Morrowind Summit, Gamer's Roam and Thelys sites as well.
