Hi guys, sorry I completely forgot about this thread. It appears I've already solved the problem. Another game I have required Microsoft XNA Framework 3.5 (even though oddly enough I already had the XNA 4.0 Framework) in order to run and my PC gave me the option to download it so I did, and after that my Morrowind game started working. Go figure. I had no indication at all that this was what I needed or why I needed it and it made no sense since I already had a more recent build of my XNA Framework. I also verified my game cache on Steam and that seems to have fixed something, too.. My game may still fail on me, in which case I will post here again if I am permitted to do so, but in the meantime thanks to both of you for offering to help. @Oblivionaddicted: I have no idea what my load order is. I can tell you in which order each of my ESM mods appear in the launcher but I can't remember in what order I installed them other than that I installed the official plugins patch first, then the unofficial code patch (Skunk Works version), then MGE XE, then MWSE, then the Patch For Purists, all in that order. There were other mods I installed prior to that and many I installed afterward but I forget which of them and when at the moment. Cheers and thanks for reading!
