Post » Tue Oct 19, 2010 7:37 pm

Well I haven't done much modding and i want to get into it but nothing too crazy to start off with. Maybe just some simple mods to help me get the hang of it.

I have read lots of walkthroughs and some of my mods work.. some don't... so yea any suggestion on some simple graphic mods to help me get started is appreciated/

See this section in the Mod Recommendations for New Players thread:

I need better graphics!!!
Probably the best place to start is the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1103737-add-to-the-list-of-needed-graphics-mods/page__p__16150079__fromsearch__1&#entry16150079 thread. It's very current and concise, that also includes a section on MGE links.
Another great thread is the http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=956115
Here you will find many links to many new textures avialable, and lots of information on using mods in general.
Separated into categories:
  • http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?s=&showtopic=956115&view=findpost&p=13811799
  • http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?s=&showtopic=956115&view=findpost&p=13811812
  • http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?s=&showtopic=956115&view=findpost&p=13811822

[!]If you use Better Bodies you'll be wanting some better heads to match, so there is the handy http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=994490&hl= thread.

You can also manually search through the Textures section on PES, http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.List&category_select_id=13 to find many of the excellent replacers that improve the visuals.

A large list of World Texture replacers can also be found at http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tes3Mod:World_Replacers section of the wiki.
http://web.archive.org/web/20080514081136rn_1/ltm.ufrealms.net/textpacks/ and http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/X-Calibar/Morrowind/Textures/Chart/ are both very good ways to see world textures compared.

[!]And, of course, http://sourceforge.net/projects/morrgraphext/files/ (and there is always a recent MGE thread in the Morrowind Mod section)


Simple is relative. Use the mods that you think look nice.
A few that I personally deem essential (since they fix ugliness)
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=7459
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=mods.detail&id=3843
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=7588
But you can find many other options by following the above links.

Morrowind Graphics Extender, Better Bodies, Better Heads to start off in my opinion. If your using the steam version though you will have to change the dates on a few files so they don't override some of the mods. The order the mods load in is based on the file dates with the newer files taking precedence.
