So, I'm once again coming back to Morrowind, this time on my laptop. The hardware is: Core2Duo T8300 (2.4GHz), 4 GB RAM, GF8400M GS with 128MB dedicated memory, Win7 x64.

Of course, unmodded Morrowind is no fun, so I once again set out on a quest to find a decent set of mods. So far I have:

My question is mostly: am I missing something essential? Something like Oblivion's Unofficial Patches, that no game should be without.

Also, will my 128MB card handle all the texture packs decently? Theory says that it should...

EDIT: also, any specific recommendations on install order? I know that texture packs go last and any unofficial patches should go first (at least that's the way it works in Oblivion), but any other advice apart from that?

as long as you have the mpp and mcp, you should be good as far as unofficial patches go. i'd get Morrowind Comes Alive (need wyre mash to keep leveled lists straight)

i'd also reccomend http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1083121-relz-mlox-a-tool-for-anolyzing-and-sorting-your-load-order/ for load order fixing.

MCP = Morrowing Code Patch, I guess? And MPP?

indeed, and mpp = morrowind patch project.

Includes links to the essentials patches and tools you'll need.
Info on where to find mods of any sort.
Links to lists that other modders have made.

Here is the downloads for them. :user:

EDIT: Just saw the download link for http://www.sendspace.com/file/mmaydw

Get Tamriel Rebuilt. Yeah I'm biased, but what's not to like?
Graphical Herbalism? It's the best of its genre.
If you're into graphics you'll want Vurt's trees; your card should be able to handle them, but maybe not with MGE.

Thanks a lot everyone

i dont use map 2 due to it's lack of quests so if you're a role player costi it might not be good for you, though it's still goid for exploring (which i'm doing atm seeing as Vvardenfel is getting old and i need some more landmasses ).

I recommend
