Replaying After Long Away, Must-have add-ons?

Jennie&Tim on 11/8/2005 at 21:38

Are there many must have add-ons that people like? A particularly good, bug-free skin set or the like? I played the original game, and have the Tribunal add-on which I have not yet played.

I am not interested in power-up sorts of things, I've never cared for god-modes.

Thanks

Quite a few Mods require Bloodmoon as well.

Having said that, there are nude and non-nude version of the "Better Bodies" mod. Rhedd's Heads is another good one, although that just adds extra PC heads to choose from.

There's mods that use Rhedd's heads to replace the NPC's, although I can't remember the name.

There are also texture packs that replace the building and ground textures with realistic ones.

Hmmm, that probably isn't helpful because I don't have links. Have a look on (http://www.rpgplanet.com/summit/)

Google for 'Thelys' (I'm too lazy to do it.) They offer 'Better Heads' which, though not affiliated with Better Bodies IIRC, it replaces NPC heads. I also think there's a mod there called 'NPC Head Replacer', but I can't be sure.

Thelys has some good mods there, so if you're looking for a small number of good ones, I'd advise that over the Summit (unless you know exactly what you're looking for, then go for Morrowind Summit.)

This is my favorite anthology of Morrowind Mods: (http://www.mwmythicmods.com/realism.htm) Empirical Morrowind. The links therein are mostly to mods that make Morrowind more realisitic (to put it simply), but it has a great variety of mods. If you need Better Bodies and a bunch of clothing mods so you can play dolls :tsktsk: , you won’t find it here.

Thanks, I'll check them out. Toddles off. Toddles back.

Are there problems adding these to a game in progress? I've just started so it's not too much trouble to restart if I must.

I have heard some authors recommending a new game to use with their plug-in, but I cannot remember any in particular. Some leveling mods might benefit from a new game, but the one I would recommend (Galsiah’s Character Development) make’s it possible to incorporate it into a game in progress. Economy mods that tweak merchants and/or their wares might not work as intended if the player as already visited an altered cell (the mods changes to that cell may not register). Some quest plug-ins may be linked to the main quest or other events, so if the player has already past that point in the game the mod’s quests may not trigger properly. Any such concerns would be mentioned in the mod’s readme file. Ryushi is right: TheLys may be the single best collection of high-quality mods at one site. Also, Companion mods have greatly improved in the past year, so if you want some company on your journeys you have a lot of choices.

Most you don't have to restart. However, some you do. They should state in the ReadMe (If one is provided with the mod) if you have to restart.

Thanks all. I'm very intrigued by Necessities of Morrowind, however it requires Bloodmoon; so I have to wait until my copy of Bloodmoon arrives. At least I have the extra in my budget to do it!

It's a pity TESmods isn't up anymore!:(
