dammit..............i swore i was going to do just a vanilla playthrough (with MGSO obviously) but here i am downloading mods again............AAARRRRGH!!!

anyways. i downloaded some of the mods i used to use like carnethus armementarium sp? but unfortunately they look really out of place next to darknuts amazing work. are there any recent releases that are somewhat on par with his stuff that arent anime or cartoon looking. something that looks like an adventurer would actually wear it. i dont mind if its a little dramatic like carnethis stuff was but just not glowy, pink and no doilies hanging off of them. thanks in advance.

I'm on the same page as you when it comes to my characters looks. I dont like it to be 'cheesy.' So i would recommend these mods:

http://morrowind4kids.com/pseronwyrd/files/FarrpsMods/Weapon%20Compilation%20Mod/ for weapons.

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=924 for weapons.

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=6650 for armor.

Are you willing to have the armor altered? Because pretty soon I'll be releasing my mod which changes (I'd like to say balances, but that might be biased) the stats of HELLUVA armor/weapons (with the option to similarly have vanilla stuff balanced likewise). It will result in lower weapon/armor prices though, if that's a turn off...

i checked out HELLUVA but some of it looked too bright and colorful for my tastes. i like my morrowind dreary and depressing looking. im using BTB stuff right now so it probably already makes changes to the armor since he did make changes to the weapons. im always looking for more balance so if BTB didnt touch vanilla armor settings ill definitely use yours. i just dont have the patience to go and edit everything like i did for oblivion.

@grubbly........i used assassins armory before.....probably will again after i change the stats to be inline with BTBs stats. that was an awesome mod. im desperately trying to keep the game as vanilla as possible minus graphic improvements although im failing spectacular since just downloaded that new staff mod. :sadvaultboy:

Yeah I'm the same way when it comes to my morrowind modding. But I would encourage a second look at HELLUVA. There are some colorful ones, but they're not overly common. There are so many additions that you're bound to find stuff you'll like :thumbsup:

do the npcs wear them? if they just in stores its easy to ignore them. if nothing else i can simply delete the levelled lists so they dont spawn on npcs. a couple of them like the "vampire" one looked pretty nice.....not sure how else to describe it. right now im using one called sonarthein or something which was ported from oblivion. actually looks pretty good in game. im not sure what they did between the few years back when i last played morrowind heavily modded to now but for some reason teh new armors are just astounding. they must be able to put larger textures in or something. that MPC probably changed something.
