I had one of these, a long time ago. But a recent HD crash caused me to lose all my data, including Morrowind plugins I'd been collecting for years.

I can't remember the name of this mod, or if it can even be found anymore.(It was from like, 2004. lol.)

It was basically the kind of mod where you look at a plant, then you harvest it. Without the container screen opening up.

There are a few to choose from.
Gluby's Guide has http://mwmythicmods.com/Gluby/Gluby_Herbalism_Mods.htm There you see how each one works, and pick what suits you.

I've used Andoreth's mod, http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=8229 for the longest time (havest depends on alchemy and new herbalism skill + possiblility to harvest plants and seeds) but recently switch to the newer and simpler http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=8229 by Manuser (only the part of the plant that you harvest disappears rather than the whole plant, when possible)

Thanks for that. Found one I wanted.(Herbalism for Purists)
That will greatly speed up gameplay.

I would love to see Graphic Herbalism mixed with the seed functions of Advanced Herbalism someday

You and me both

I wonder how hard that would be to cobble together - I should really look into that, if for nothing else having it for personal use
