Hi all!

So in the course of my Heavily Modded Morrowind LP, I have been asked by a LOT of people to distribute my list of mods for download.

I have packed them into numbered archives (in install order) and even though I have 183 mods installed (not to mention all the non-esp tweaks and replacers) I am wary about how I should approach this.

First off, where to host? It is upwards of 7gigs of content and even though it is split into 14 different files I am not sure where I should host them. Modding sites like Nexus and PES? Some basic file-hosting site? Torrent? My up-speed is horrendous so I'd be a terrible seed and I don't know how to make a torrent in the first place.

Secondly, what is the etiquette for something like this? Do I need permission from every mod-maker to do this? Will they really mind me promoting their work?

Any feedback would be great!

First of all: Yes. You WILL need the approval of all modders to distribute their work. Some maybe have given this approval in their readmes. Some clearly refuse the upload by other people in any way.

So the second question is obsolete. You won't need that that big space to upload this.

What you can do:

Make a list. Give the download links into it. Spread the list. Be fine.

You really should get modder approval. You'll find many active modders prefer to keep control of where their work is uploaded to. There's also the issue with tracking the number of times a mod has been downloaded (it matters to some modders).

It would be better to just compile a list of the mods you're using and in what order to install them, then let interested parties download and install them on their own.

Good calls all around, I figured this was the case.

That saves me the headache of actually hosting it somewhere, frankly, .

I wanted to make it easy on my viewers, since I have everything so neatly organized, but I will just do a video tutorial on my install process for them and create a more thorough list.

I third the links suggestion simply because some modders are still active and are releasing updates to their mods. By including them into a download, you're not necessarily giving your downloaders the latest versions of those mods.

Good point!

All of us who put together mod lists inevitably get asked to package and upload them as One Big Mod. Baphomet and I made the first Morrowind mod lists (in the same thread, within 12 hours of each other) back in 2003 so I've been asked this a lot. All of us who make mod lists say no.
