Glad you had fun with my cloud mod :) FWIW, it's a good idea to use post-processing shaders from within OpenMW itself rather than applying reshade on top in order for effects to be applied in the right order. As an example, SSAO should be applied *before* volumetrics rather than after. There are several SSAO mods for OpenMW that are just as good as those in reshade, if not better (since they have access to a lot of in-game data that reshade simply doesn't).

I don't know if it would be compatible with your mod list, but I strongly recommend giving a mod called Beautiful Cities of Morrowind a try. It really makes the towns on Vvardenfell come alive with lots of extra detail, which merges with the original content so well I can't tell which is which any more. The modders of Morrowind are on another level. Hats off!

I love vanilla+ mod lists too. OpenMW is making hype progress in it’s development recently. Great work on yours!

Okay that's a common problem. So the Aesthesia grass mod by itself was made for the unmodded Morrowind landscape. Rebirth changes the shape of the land, so if you use an old grass mod with the most recent Rebirth, there will be floating grass. There are people who slowly keep updating the grass mod and uploading new versions of 'Rebirth Grass' to match newer versions, but it's never able to keep up with the latest version of Rebirth. This means you have to download an older version of Rebirth to match the version of grass you can get. Besides that, I'm not sure if Tamriel Rebuilt and Rebirth are compatible. They used to but I'm pretty sure they don't work together anymore. I'm not using Rebuilt, so I can't help much with that.

You need to know which step things went wrong otherwise we can only guess a million different things.

@GamerZakh I tried installing everything and it seems to be working ! However when I get inside the first building I fall through the floor ... when disabling Morrowind Rebirth it works again, I really don't know what I missed :(

Point lighting in Skyrim, by playing around with ENB, is also quite nice (though there are tons of settings in ENB for Skyrim as it depends on the time of day). It looks much simpler and really nice here in modded Morrowwind.

I've had it modded like you exactly 1,5 years ago in winter but what is the next stage? But I am using MGE XE tho :P

I'm super late to this but I did your old modded overhaul before open mw, but quick question on this are you using a mod organizer or are you running without one

@GamerZakh

I generally don't use one for Morrowind because I make fixed mod showcases but if you can use a mod organiser then you generally should. But if you're not used to organisers they can be confusing and for Morrowind it's possible to skip. Skyrim is the one that really needs an organiser.

@GamerZakh Dude, Your AMAZING. i been looking to make Morrowind look at least 1 grade better, and you just made my day!

I think the Sadanine tree stump with the ring is still the same right?

Zakh, this is absolutely incredible, thank you. I have looked at Tamriel Rebuilt, Skywind (not even out yet), and all of the Morrowind projects, but nothing looks like this, and I already knew that I wanted the combat mod, so this is everything that I wanted, and more. And because this is in OpenMW, people can add any compatible mods they want to this list. Truly amazing, like playing MW for the first time, and with these graphics and combat upgrades, now TES III absolutely destroys all other Elder Scrolls games. Skyrim who? The only reason to play Skyrim now is because of the Nolvus mod plus some of the modders' quests, especially the Enderal alternative reality of Skyrim. That is if there is any reason to leave this stunning Morrowind universe...

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy the collection. There's a lot of flexibility with it but I did make it as best as possible to what I think most would prefer.

I remember many years ago I had my game with all the available nexus mods, all the mods that improved something without breaking the immersion, there was not a single mod that I was missing, I even had mods that few people know but improved small items of the world that nobody had modded yet, to do something like that again today would take me weeks of compilation.

Do you have a good how to video on now to download mods like this? Sorry I’m new to modding for morrowind

Yes if you're new to modding Morrowind, follow this easy guide first. Don't worry about anything else just stick to this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z6Ot2LZugafbmJM.html That guide doesn't prevent anything moving forward, can transition into OpenMW and this modlist, but the main thing is modding is a skill because all sorts of things can go wrong and you need to practice. That easy guide will get you more used to how modding works.

I'm not understanding how the RETEXTURE section specifically the Morrowind Enhanced Textures and the Connary's Landscape textures, is supposed to work, What do you mean by overwrite? Did you drop the all the retextures into the main Morrowind directory? Or did you use OpenMW, if you did use OpenMW, I don't see how that would cause anything to overwrite each other.

@GamerZakh

5 ай бұрын

I often mod without a mod manager, so when 2 mods replace the same texture, the one you install second overwrites the mod files of the first. OpenMW or MGE or Vanilla, textures work the same. They're just a file in a folder, replace the file and it replaces the texture in game.

@@GamerZakh Oh, Well I managed to get it to work with MO2 + OpenMW, after doing some deep diving. 😋 Unfortunately, as with all modding, I've run into a new issue. I can get Enlightened Flames OpenMW Patcher to work. However the lanterns and candles don't have that fade in/fade out effect, torches, fire cauldron's and fireplaces work fine though.

Thank you - I've been meaning to retry OpenMW for a few years now, and you've answered a number of my concerns. I gotta say, tho - all those buggy, low-poly flying things from Where Are All Birds Going really don't help it look better. The same author (abot) implemented the same basic idea MUCH better with Water Life, which also implements fishing, NoM integration, and effectively extends the playable gamespace throughout the ocean; from the Nexus posts, it appears to be at least largely compatible with OpenMW.

I've got this all installed and working now and it's gorgeous, though I had to tone it down a bit. Instead of Real Signposts I use Signposts Retextured which is a bit more modern. May I ask what the tower is outside Seyda Neen? Thanks for the video, it's made a real difference.

I'm trying to figure out what mod added the extra buildings and such to the normal towns. I'm trying not to get too deep into modding a ton of stuff into it, just would be nice to have some extra content in the vanilla world. I tried to do Tamriel Rebuilt and ran into way too many problems. Got it to load but it still had a ton of errors all the time, and YES I ADDED THE LINES TO THE INI FILE

My brain that hasn't seen Morrowind in years - "Isn't that just what it always looked like?"

I liked the way Morrowind looked. My main issue with rpg games is the limited dialogue and doors that don't open. This does look great though and I would like to play it but my machine won't be able to handle it atm.

Hi, I just started trying to use open mw, and I'm having a lot of struggle starting. I did watch your easy guide, linked in the description, but taking it a step further to installing these mods leaves me completely confused as to the steps. Did you ever make a guide for open mw? Alternatively, did you ever depend on a guide to teach you how to mod with open mw?

@GamerZakh

4 ай бұрын

Mods in OpenMW work exactly the same except a couple things. Skip the volumetric fog and the candle flames, those are complicated. Then for grass I link to the guide below. Besides that, most of these mods are just texture or mesh replacements. They just replace the game files and work the same with or without OpenMW.

Oblivion is the first elder scrolls I truly played but I did technically start on morrowind. Played it very very briefly, but being 10, I went for the new game with the new graphics instead but I really want to go back and play this game. I’ve heard so many amazing things about this game and remember it having immaculate vibes when I did play through the first few missions. Now that I have a pc and can make it a bit prettier it will be easier to play , can’t wait!

I can't see the mod I would like in the video description. However, please is there a mod for fast travel in this listf? Morrowind is a grerat game but I never managed to complete it. I tried I think three times, but for sure twice. However each time I got worn down, due to lack of fast travel. Not being able to fast travel from The Ashlands to Balmora and back, repeatedly got me every time.

You don't need MGE when you use OpenMW. You can have both installed at the same time with the same Morrowind install, but they both launch with separate exe files. They don't conflict with each other but they don't recognise or use anything from each other either.
