So, I have played MW on Xbox for about 2 years, and have just gotten it for pc for free. So, having played the game a while, I've decided to go on and mod the comp version. Two questions:

1. What mods would you guys call essential, or make the game a lot better?
2. Is there some kind of tutorial somewhere to show me how to add mods?

Sorry if I am being a pest , I was in a hurry when I typed this and didn't have time to see if there were already threads past the first page.

*Points to sig*

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1060141-mod-recommendations-for-new-players/page__p__15392814__fromsearch__1&#entry15392814 - All the info you need to find the "essential" mods, patches and tools.
Includes links to the tutorials in the pinned threads, and how to find all the other mods you may want to try. (inlcuding BTB's list of suggested mods )

Thanks you two... I was sure there was some thread about it, but I was seriously rushed...

All of mine, obviously.

And mine!

I would never venture out, without http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=136072&id=5685

and all my one and a half mods.....

if you get better bodies, better heads and better clothes you will have a better time. Those are just better. There is probably a bill's much better bodies out there that I don't know about. Do get Morrowind Comes Alive, and GCD, then you will have a grand time.

My one small suggestion is to take Starfire's NPCs over MCA, at least at first. Starfire's is a bit more "beginner friendly", uses all stock resources, and is a smaller file size. Plus, since Starfire's NPCs and Morrowind Comes Alive are compatible, you can always add MCA later, once you get used to things.
