Total Newb! Could use a bit of guidance

[verumyn]

Hi everybody!

 

So, I'm on a MacBook Air. I know, not the best for modding and gaming, but I've been working around it.

 

I run Steam on a Wine Wrapper, and subsequently, Morrowind. This makes everything a bit more complicated.

 

I'm not sure how to work with NMM... I've just been installing mods manually. Should probably look up a tutorial with that. I did however, download Wrye Mash... I honestly don't know what I'm doing, but things are working, for the most part.

 

I'm having some trouble with a mod not finding a masterfile, and I know this can be fixed in Wrye Mash, but the mod itself isn't showing up in the program... Is this even an appropriate forum to ask this question? I really am the newbiest of newbs. Any guidance will be appreciated greatly.

 

Thanks,

Veru Myn

What mod are you looking at exactly? I haven't modded Morrowind before, however if it is like the other bethesda games (which I have casually modded for years).Then the game missing a masterfile either means, that you are missing a required mod, the required mods are not placed into the proper directory, or the load order is messed up.

 

I would first check the mod page, see if it needs anything you haven't already put in, and make sure those required mods are in the right places, then simply make sure that the mod in question is loaded AFTER any mods it requires.

 

So, I reinstalled morrowind, so I could plug it into the NMM, the installation is pretty standard, if you need any help with making the NMM work, just let me know and I can help you figure that stuff out. I personally find the NMM to be a super useful tool in managing things, such as load order and such, and I would recommend learning how to use it when you have some spare time.
