So I am coming back to play morrowind (my favorite bethesda game) after a long break and was looking to try out some mods. I have some experience with mods from oblivion (such as OOO and Archaeology Guild, if anyone is familiar with these). I am looking for all manner of mods, unoffical patches, major overhauls, guild overhauls, combat/magic/ai overhauls, more items etc etc. I looked around but couldn't find any comprehensive lists. So what I'm asking is either for a link to a topic where people discuss a good 15-30 mods to spice up the game or if this doesnt exist, suggestions from you for 15-30 mods. Thanks in advance.

Well here's a link to all the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1150438-the-mods-of-2010/page__p__16830261__fromsearch__1#entry16830261 that were released on the forum - that will at least get you up to date with what's been happening - if you do a search on Gluby you can find some good threads on recommendations ditto http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1060141-mod-recommendations-for-new-players/page__hl__recommendations

Great! Thanks for the help, I'm sure I'll find what I want here.

I'll also look into anything people say are essential to there enjoyment of the game
(for example I have never played oblivion without at least oscuro's and I would never try to, it was recommended to me when I bought the game and as soon as I realized the difference the was no alternative)
