Baphomet’s Preferred Mods List
The Ones I Don’t Leave Home
Without…
(Last Update:
Abu Manor v.2.0
http://www.morrowind-mod.com/Abu%20Manor%20Screenshots%201.htm
Not the biggest house you can find, but
most definitely one of the finest, best laid out house-mods ever. It has storage galore, a central location
(Ald-Ruhn) and the stunning degree of attention to detail make this mod an
absolute “Must Have” in my game.
Ald
Vendras
http://elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=329
One of two
“landmass” mods that grace my game, and for good reason. It is particularly, outstandingly, well done.
All
Boat Ports
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=2433
It makes sense to me that every boat port
should connect with every other – they’re boats for heavens sake. With this mod they all do: every boat can
take you to every other boat dock in Morrowind.
It makes sense to me. And so does
this mod.
All
Silt Strider Ports
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=2435
Same principle as
above. Seems to me that all mass transit should
be interconnected. With this mod every Silt Strider can transport you to
every other Silt Strider port in Morrowind.
Alternate
(Reflective) Gold III
http://elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=1310
Better looking gold coins. Something had to be done about the gold in
Morrowind, and while there are a lot of similar mods, this one happens to be
the one that I prefer.
Amulets
and Rings v2.1
http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=1234
Infinitely better
looking rings and amulets.
A
Lords Men v2.0
http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=2186
The only
“companion” mod to grace my list - because it’s just that good. Hire a companion that fits your need’s
(Mages, Warriors,
Assassins’
Armory
http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=322
One of those “classics” I just can’t do
without. Loads of new
weapons all through the game world.
Assassination
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=1802
Sneak up behind an unsuspecting enemy for
a chance to “snap” their neck; resulting in an instant, silent and totally
undetected kill. Ordinators included!
Better
Bodies
http://www.rit.edu/~txo8933/Better%20Bodies%20v2.2.exe
Infinitely better looking NPC’s thanks to
this “earth shattering” mod. To call it
“Essential” is almost an insult.
Better
Books
http://elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=357
Just that… better looking in-game
books. WAY better.
Better
Glow
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=1113
Replaces that
horrible “plastic wrap” look on enchanted items with something far more subtle,
and attractive looking.
Moon’s
Soul Gem Replacer
http://files.filefront.com/jj_s_soul_gem_retexturerar/;3824063;/fileinfo.html
Retextured soul
gems. It is a matter of
taste, but I love them!
Bottle
Replacer
http://elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=2191
Bottles that not only look transparent
and shiny, they look marvelous!
Changing
Faces Replacer
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=661
Another fantastic
mod. Replaces the faces of in-game NPC’s with
fantastic looking retextured ones. Be
sure to get the update as well. Another “Must Have” mod, in my opinion.
Cliffracer
Remover
(Sorrry, no link for
this one. See below...)
The name says it all. Three different .esp files to better “manage”
the Cliff Racer population to choose from: number one makes for less hostile
Cliffies, number two gives you fewer spawned Cliffies and number three simply
removes Cliffies from the game completely (buh-bye!). No link for this mod as I don’t know where to
find it for download any longer. PM or
email me if you want this one and I can send it to you.
Creatures
http://www.pirates.retreat.btinternet.co.uk/Creatures.htm
More creatures. A perfectly logical
extension of the Morrowind bestiary.
Daedric
Weapons Enhancer
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=661
Vastly improved
hi-res textures for Daedric weapons.
It’s like Daedric on steroids.
Ebony
Weapons Enhancer
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=3244
Sharper, cleaner
hi-res textures for ebony weapons. Simple, but badly needed and very well done.
Enchanted
Icon Selection
http://www.mwsource.com/files/details.php?file=894
Personally, I hate the default “Blue Swirls”
on my enchanted items inventory screen.
Now I can have something far more subtle. This mod offers several choices of small,
subtle markers, that indicate enchanted items and do
away with the default blue swirl.
Glass
Weapon Enhancer
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=3290
Sharper, cleaner
hi-res textures for glass weapons. Complements the Ebony Enhancing mod above.
Journal
Enhanced
http://www.freewebs.com/aerelorn/
One of the
“Morrowind Enhanced” series of mods. This one allows you to create custom
Journal entries using any quill or inkwell found in the game. Finally you can put whatever you want
directly into your in-game Journal.
You’ll need to install “Morrowind Enhanced” to use “Journal Enhanced”
but everything you need can be found at the site provided in the link.
Potion
Upgrade v1.3
http://elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=660
Better looking
in-game potion bottles. Really well done. Beautiful, transparent bottles. Some with animated
bubbling.
K
Scroll Upgrade v1.1
http://elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=662
Better looking
in-game scrolls. A lot better looking.
Key
Replacer
http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=1212
Unique looking
keys. No longer do all the
various keys in MW look the same. It’s a
small thing, but once you have it, you realize how badly you’ve been wanting it; you just didn’t know it.
KP
Visual Pack v2.11
One of a few
“global texture replacers” that I use.
I take several particular textures from these mods and mix-and-match
them with Vibrant Morrowind to get the effect I am looking for. And for those who do not want to mix their
replacers, this is still an excellent starting place for a vastly better
looking Morrowind.
KP
Visual Pack v2.2
Works in conjunction with Visual Pack
v2.11
Lantern
Replacer
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=3149
It might be a tiny little thing to mod -
the lanterns in MW - but this mod is absolutely charming and very well
done. This mod changes the in-game lamps
(interior and exterior) to something more colorful and attractive, without
being garish or too “in your face”.
Misc.
Items Replacer
http://elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=2205
Replaces a lot of the misc item meshes in
Morrowind with better meshes and textures. Many objects are reflection-mapped
and translucent with animated textures and particle effects. Awesome!!
ModMan
Windowlights – Full
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=1761
Windows that glow
at night. A
classic mod, and still worth having.
I use it in conjunction with Windows Glow (yes, you can do it without
conflicts, I promise). The combination,
I think, makes for an outstanding overall effect.
Multiple
Teleport Marking
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=1397
Up to twelve Mark points that you can
later Recall to.
When one just isn’t enough… this is your mod.
NPC
“Move” Command
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=1701
How many times has a door been blocked by
an NPC that simply will not get out of your way? Now you can ask that annoying NPC that is
blocking your way to please “Move” via a quick and easy dialog topic. A handy little mod! Faster and easier than
using the Console.
Real
Signposts
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=62
Signposts you can read (in English)
without having to press your nose up against them. One of the truly “classic”
Morrowind mods to be sure. And with good reason.
Morrowind
Sound Enhancement
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=1051
Improved (way
improved!) sound effects for Morrowind.
I have tried them all, and this is the one that I like best.
Silverware
Enhancer
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=3171
Hi-poly and
reflective silverware, candleholders, etc.
Unofficial
Morrowind Patch
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=2083
This mod really IS essential. Seriously. It fixes hundreds of tiny, and not so tiny,
errors in Morrowind. Everything from
simple yet annoying typos to quest-breaking dialog loops have been addressed
and corrected. Truly… you need this
mod. Do not play without it.
Vibrant
Morrowind
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=985
My preferred
global texture replacer for Morrowind.
This is my basic replacer.
Vibrant
Trees
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=3200
Just like the name says, vibrant,
colorful trees.
Visual
Pack XT
http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=1150
Works in
conjunction with the KP Visual Packs v.211 and 2.2.
White
Wolf of
http://lovkullen.net/Emma/lokken.htm
The second “landmass” mod and the ONLY
“quest” mod you will find on my list, and with good reason. This mod is, in my sole opinion at least,
positively outstanding in both respects.
Windows
Glow v1.7 (See note…)
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=389
Used in conjunction
with ModMan’s Window Lights. Windows that “glow” at night for a beautiful night-time experience. I use the older 1.7 version because I don’t
care for the “flickering candle” effect that came with version 2.2. Just a matter of taste. Link
goes to the new v2.0; PM or email me if you want the older v1.7 as I don’t know
where to find it for download any more.
WryeMash
http://home.earthlink.net/~wrye_modder/morrowind.html
Part mod, part utility, WryeMash does it
all. It cleans your game-saves, repairs
references, merges your Leveled Lists and a whole lot more … In my opinion it
is nothing (nothing!) short of amazing.
Nothing has helped me manage Morrowind better, faster, or easier. Yes the documentation is extensive, and yes
WryeMash is more complicated than simply clicking on the “Just Fix It!” button,
but the effort required is well worth it.
If you have mods running in your game WryeMash is a must have. Run, don’t walk, and download it now, now,
now!!!
