Hi all. Anyone know of a way to keep mod specific files out of the game directory whilst still keeping them usable?

So I can have a blank Morrowind install with MGE MPC and basic utils installed. Then keep all of my mods assets in their own folders. (Plugins, textures, models)

Currently I have multiple copies of Morrowind installed for each mod project. But its a royal pain in the [censored], as well as a waste of space.

Any ideas how acheive something like this?

Cheers all. Much appreciated!

You can use http://download.fliggerty.com/download-58-141 for that kind of purpose since it can be installed outside of the game folder, provided you have a http://www.gamesas.com/topic/106063-morrowind-mods-faq/#entry21189077 while working on a project.

Been using hat for years, why havent i thought of using it this way??

Anyway, how would that work with plugins? Like, where would you have your plugins located while you edited them?

You use the http://www.theassimilationlab.com/forums/gallery/image/6447-wmsa86-green-disk-icon/ to find the second Morrowind game folder and that's about it.

One stance of Wrye Mash can mess up with the mod order because it can't manage many morrowind installation folders. The file that describe the file order is placed inside the mod folder and changing the game folder will confuse the program. Really a pity we can't have only one mod folder for all installations.

I read that OpenMW will support many mod folders and different installations orders for each one post 1.0.
