So, I downloaded and ran MGSO20Installer.exe ... Or what I am assuming is the latest version of Morrorwind Overhaul Graphics and Sound.

I have an issue that occurred, but first I would like to address one thing. It would have been good to know before I ran it that my whole morrowind install would be wrecked before I ran it. So, I ran the MGSO20Installer.exe, it unpacked some stuff...then suddenly morrowind code patch opened up. I thought maybe I miss clicked something. So I closed it. Then a very shady nondescript "exe patcher" popped up telling me I didn't have morrowind installed. [Its installed in the default path]. I manually went to the morrowind folder and tried to patch morrowind's exe with it...it failed, mentioned something about sse.exe being unavailable. So I said what ever and closed that too. Booted up morrowind, loaded y save, ah, I can hear sounds and see new textures, but grass is missing...and I can't toggle shift anymore...

So I go into my morrowind folder and run MGSO Options.exe... Oh! This is new, I select some options for trees and what not and hit apply...then out of no where my PC goes wonky. I think I seen Wyre Mash open up for a split second, then close, then mlox loads and does a order update [what?].. then something takes over y mouse, boots up MGE XE, and while still in control of my PC, it attempts to activate a slew of options and regenerate distant land. After hitting ctrl+alt+del and getting my mouse back. I close MGE XE, because I actually don't use the distant lands options.

I load up morrowind, load my save, and it crashes. Huh? So, I start a new game, maybe my save got corrupted [it was a new character anyways]. And I wake up to Juib's ugly face. CharGen Revamped is gone! I exit out of morrowind, load up mash, only to find my load order is all but scrambled, most of the hundred or so mods I already have are deselected. And its utter chaos.

I go through, reselect all of my mods, and deselect some from MO that I didn't want, load up the game, my save works great. Though, I still have no grass.

So, my question is, how do I get grass?

As for everything else... yeah. Horrible experience. Thankfully, I do back up my entire morrowind folder. So if something would have went wrong, I could have easily fixed it. But maybe a warning, or you know... a less invasive installer, Could help.

I like what I see and hear so far, I just want my grass.

Any possibility you could just add one of the grass mods? Or several of them for the different areas? The MGE's both require that grass be deselected in your load order, but if you have no grass, perhaps checking them there will re-introduce grass in your game.

Well, there are no grass related .esp's at all. If that is what you are saying. I also noticed trees were the same. I didn't install a grass mod manually because I thought this WAS the grass mod. Grass, new textures, trees etc. I thought it was all one mod, I would have probably manually downloaded them all otherwise. I seen this mod being used in an LP of morrowind. I think I will restore my back up of the morrowind folder. While everything seems to work, I really don't know if something is broken behind the scenes.

It took an hour or so just to find Morrowind Overhaul, I searched the forums, and found 0 threads related to the mod, and PES search doesn't work, and morrowind modding history doesn't know of its existence either. I found the PES link in some obscure forum I got in a google search result. I managed to find the website, but still found no download link. I think it would be better to know what graphical/sound mods Morrowind Overhaul sues, and manually get them myself. I only wanted the better textures, the grass, better sounds and trees.

Did you read the MGSO_Installguide.pdf or the Modlist_Credits.pdf file included in the package?

I typed in MGSO into the search bar on this page and got the following: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1339035-relz-morrowind-overhaul-sounds-graphics-20/page__st__210__p__21201034__hl__mgso__fromsearch__1#entry21201034

Quoted from the installation guide: "This modpack is meant to be used on a CLEAN Morrowind installation. This means that if you want to skip silly problems and crashes you would have to re-install the game from scratch. Trust me, it’s worth it."
