What are some great immersion mods?

[NomDeKeyz]

Hi!

 

After some considerable computer issues, I decided to reformat and clean install everything.

I never played Morrowind (because I didn't know about the mods that would have made it better)...

But now that I see my earlier issues with the game can be addressed (and because I am now a fan

of anything Oblivion/Elderscrolls related), I want to give this game another try.

 

I just bought the goty edition, and am in the middle of playtesting mods for it. After I know what mods I want,

I will reformat/reinstall everything (Windows XP, Office, Oblivion and Morrowind, possibly NWN2 and Sims2).

After my reinstall however, I will be going offline, and will no longer have internet access on my computer

(due to overwhelming internet issues), so I am asking for your advice/recommendations because I won't

have the leisure to search and playtest a gazillion mods over a several month period (like I did with Oblivion).

 

Below are listed the mods that I like so far ... (I have only looked at mods available at TesNexus) ..........

If there is a mod that does the same/similar/better that you think I should consider instead, let me know.

Also, if there is a mod that is particularly glitchy/incompatible listed, I'd appreciate a warning. Thankyou.

 

Doll mods:

The Face Compilation

Better Bodies

Hilgya the Seamstress (my fav outfits, I hope to make them wearable over my armor)

Gothic Attire Complete (for the thigh high boots and matching gloves)

AnOldFriends Undies (for the leather bodice, which I plan on making armor in the CS)

Mainframes Backpacks Final (because a pack just makes sense)

NoGlo File (I dislike flashy glow/magic effects, not sure how ini changes affect other things tho)

 

Leveling Mods:

Shakti Book of Secrets (there is too much to know/remember, lol)

New Linora's Leveling Mod (I dislike skill watching, but luv peak leveling)

Less Aggressive Critters (c'mon agro-rats? Pfft.)

-Considering-

Marksman Overhaul (do the marksman/bow/arrow/vendor stat changes work well?)

(I actually plan on making a special bow using the bonemold mesh because I never found one I liked.)

(If you know of a bow that is simple and elegant, wooden or blackish, nicoroshi-esque, let me know.)

 

Environment Mods:

Time Mod (I may use the real-time setting, unless there is a quest-reason I shouldn't?)

Real Signposts (I really appreciate this sort of touch, concerned about compatibilities)

-Considering-

Morrowind Comes Alive w/ patch (concerned about compatibility with other environmental mods)

Better Sounds w/ patch (concerned about compatibility with other environmental mods) -OR-

Ambient Town Sounds (concerned about compatibility with other environmental mods)

The Morrowind NPC Makeover (concerned about compatibility with other environmental mods) -AND/OR-

Children of Morrowind (If I can find a copy, concerned about compatibility with other environmental mods)

 

Uber Mods:

-Considering-

Ring of the Daywalker (to possibly play a vampire w/o changing my face/head)

(Is this a questbreaker? Is a daywalker a quest-reward/result in the game?

If so, are there other mods that would do similar w/o the Daywalker status?

If I play a vampire, I don't want to look like one, or be shunned for being one.

I know that's how the game treats vampirism, but it isn't how I enjoy playing it.)

Is there another option for vampiric subtlety (not appearing to be a vampire)?

 

So, what other mods should I check out or use instead?

Are there any map/ui mods that make a pleasant difference?

Are there any environment mods that add visual flair/items?

What immersion/realism mods would work well with these?

Any other notable mods worth mention? Thanks in advance!!!
