Need help first time modding

[Kalmeo]

I ain't the best with computers and never really mod before other then through steam workshop and I trying to learn how to with Marrowind. I tried starting with the Marrowind code patch and from what I saw from this one video is that you apparently just  download the file then put it in the data section but I don't think its working for me. Idk if has to do with the the fact that I install my games on a seagate external hard drive or sumthin else I am doin wrong. Anyways if anybody has the time  and could add me on discord and walked me through step by step that would great!!! Cuz I feel like I would do better with that then with instructions

I'd say this is probably your best bet for something to follow: https://github.com/Sigourn/morrowindsharp

Best chance for help is this Discord: https://discord.me/mwmods

MCP needs to be installed and run from the same folder that morrowind.exe is in, not from Data Files

I don't know if running MW on an external drive is a good idea or not.

I can't offer real time help.

After you put mods in the Data folder in Morrowind the Morrowind Launch window needs to be opened to make adjustments to set up the game to use your video card.

Morrowind LOOT manager is a good tool to have if you plan to mod for the game too.  LOOT allows you to put the mods in their group so they are organized and they will work correctly.

Clicking on the Morrowind Launcher will open a popup window with links to those settings and your Data folder showing you the mods you have added.  Next to the mods you added is a little square space you need to click on so a check mark show up in them.

The Data folder will be accessible from the Morrowind Launcher so you can activate the added mods in your Data folder.  Otherwise the mods and software like the Morrowind Code Patch do not get turned On.

Once you have all the boxes checked you can run the game from the launcher or from Steams Play.  You must set up the mods in the Data section of the Launcher or use LOOT to launch the game once you have all your own mods, in the proper order, and others you have downloaded and installed activated.
