Hi! Like a previous poster before me, I too am a little late playing this game. I just installed the GOTY edition (Trib & Blood). I have played Fallout3 and Oblivion so I am pretty familiar with Bethesda. I noticed there are over 2,000 files on the TES Nexus, can someone recommend a few "must-have" mods before I start playing?

The Morrowind Graphics Extender has an option to increase the max resolution. And improve the graphics a whole lot.

 

When do I install MGE before or after all the texture fixes, mods, patches, etc?

 

Everything MGE does is standalone from fixes, patches and mods. The only way they would effect each other is through your FPS. I would recommend you patch up your Morrowind files to make sure everything is running as smoothly as possible. Then I would get MGE up and running, and test it for a while before you add any texture replacers, such as Quarl's Visual Pack XT. The reason why is because Morrowind really isn't that stable to begin with FPS wise, and you'd be surprised just how much slowdown you might get from MGE even with vanilla graphics. If you can get 40-50 FPS with the settings you like in Balmora using MGE, then you can consider getting a nice texture pack.

 

Hope that helped!

Well I installed a bunch of plugins and mods and MGE. So far so good. I set MGE to run at 60 FPS (most games nowadays are maxed at that when running v-sync anyways). Looks beautiful outdoors but indoors I can't see much of a difference!
