This is especially true for Windows Vista/7/8 users. The installation of Morrowind will appear to be a strange place to begin a guide on modding, but getting the installation right will avoid some issues that might appear in the future.

1.2 Some points to remember for Steam Users.1.1 Installing Morrowind on Windows Vista/7/8.

Oblivion mod scene is alive and well, but it’s a tricky game to mod compared to Skyrim now that mod managers are expected to handle things automagically. Oblivion mods were frequently designed with manual installation in mind, which is as simple as dragging and dropping into the game folder usually, but can be confusing at first.ĭefinitely use the Nexus for finding and installing mods. They have amazing lists like most endorsed mods of all time, and most endorsed each month (so you can see which are most popular today, rather than which were most popular back in 2010 when the mod scene for this game was at its peak). The best mods will often have detailed installation instructions, and once you get the knack of it. Definitely start with simpler mods like texture packs and esp plugins (the vast majority of them) before trying your hand at more complex mods like TES4LL (detailed LOD mesh replacement with distant terrain shadows). If one mod breaks the game and stops it loading, it can be a pain to figure out which one broke it when you just added 50 =P Try not to add too many mods at once without testing game stability. You can make the game look gorgeous even by today’s standards. You might spend more time modding your games than playing them from now on =D Just be prepared that if you enjoy the process. You actually do need to use Oblivion Mod Manager for a select couple of mods that have complicated installation scripts that only work with OMM's scripting functionality. The UI mod is the first thing that comes to mind (can't remember what it was called).
