diosoth Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 After I'm done with my current Oblivion playthrough, I may want to install Morrowind. I have Morrowind and both expansions sitting by waiting to be installed. So then... first, do I need to do anything special to get the game working right in windows 7 64-bit? Second, what are the essential programs and utilities I should have on hand? Third, what are the most essential mods? Gameplay improvements, quest add-ons, beautification mods... I also understand that Daggerfall is freeware and Bethesda offers it for download. Anything besides DOSbox that will let me run it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also understand that Daggerfall is freeware and Bethesda offers it for download. Anything besides DOSbox that will let me run it? 1. Run Morrowind as an administrator, or it will almost certainly crash and give you a message like 'failed to load snowflake.nif'.2. MGE and MWSE are both good to have. They're the Graphics Extender and the Script Extender, respectively. The MGE gives you quite a few options for making the game look good. If you have a high-end pc, I recommend the Total Graphics and Sounds Overhaul 2.0 3. The XLEngine is a modern attempt to let people play Daggerfall on Windows operating systems at high resolutions. It's not done yet, and many features are still missing, but it functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62firelight Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 You may also want to download the Unofficial Morrowind Patch which fixes over a thousand bugs. You can find it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanTheStrongArm Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 You should also track down some music mods. The Epic Soundtrack is a great one for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balakirev Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 You may also want to download the Unofficial Morrowind Patch which fixes over a thousand bugs. You can find it here. The UMP has evolved in the last couple of years, and is now the Morrowind Patch Project. I agree, it's one of the two most important mods you can add to your game. Good catch. The other one is the Morrowind Code Patch. It includes tons of fixes, as well as optional features--such as my personal favorite, Swift Casting, which allows you to cast a spell Oblivion-like, with a weapon in hand. It also fixes saved game corruption, which happened regularly when mods were added or removed from a game already in progress. A must-have mod.

raatorotta Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Better Bodies and Better Heads are must mods to have. Also Better Clothes, if you can find that mod somewhere. Better Bodies Better Heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
