This is daunting. It looks like some of these steps are educational steps that you aren't actually supposed to do anything with until later. I got completely lost at Morrowind Optimization Patch and that's where I wound up just deleting everything, cleaning my hard drive, and am re-downloading Morrowind to start from scratch. Once I have a question I'm just going to stop instead of fiddling my way through and then getting frustrated later and losing another two hours. I think I got through everything except that Morrowind Optimization Patch. Essentially there are 4 directories (if I remember right.) The page says not recommended to install manually and to use a mod manager. Fair enough. Well I've been using Nexus for the last two weeks spending ~hour a day trying to get my 2015 save games to load and decided to start over (which is how I wound up here.) This guide has me tending towards Wrye Mash. Fair enough. But when I got to a mod, the web page has "vortex" or "manual" and vortex opens Nexus. I cannot figure out after fiddling with the various tabs, buttons, googling, help files, forum posts how to get Wrye Mash to actually install something I just downloaded instead of recognizing what's already there. I will not be defeated - after ~15 hours at this in the past two weeks I'm starting over from scratch, wondering if I've learned enough to actually have success this time.
