Instructions on tools that aren't needed when following the guide, but useful knowledge for modding.

TES3View

In this step, we will install and run TES3View, which allows us to check for conflicts in our load order.

Installing TES3View

  • Download TES3View from here.

  • From the downloaded archive, extract everything to the game's Root folder.

  • Run Mod Organizer 2.

  • Navigate to Morrowind and double click TES3View.exe.

  • Click Apply.

Running TES3View

  • In Mod Organizer 2, click on the executables dropdown menu to the left of the Run button, and select TES3View.

  • Run TES3View.

  • Right click anywhere in the plugin list, click Select All then click OK.

  • Wait for TES3View to load all plugins, indicated by the Background Loader: finished message.

  • Right-click on any of the plugins then click Apply Filter to show Conflicts.

This will show all plugins with conflicting records.

  • Click the + button next to any of the of the plugins to expand their record groups, and click the + inside to expand the conflicting records.

  • Click on any record, then right-click on the info window and click Hide no conflict and empty rows.

This will show the conflicting edits between plugins. Note that some edits are intentional and some aren't, only experience will tell. However, using this method is a good idea to see how many conflicts a mod has with your mod setup.

Wrye Mash

In this step, we will use Wrye Mash to update and repair saves.

Updating Saves

  • In Mod Organizer 2, click on the executables dropdown menu to the left of the Run button, and select mash64.

  • Run mash64.

  • Select the Saves tab.

Saves that don't need to be updated have a purple box next to them. All others should be updated if you plan on using them.

  • Click the faulty save, and right-click on any of the master files listed on the right panel.

  • Select Yes on the Update Masters window.

    • If an Update Masters window appears, click OK.

  • Click Save.

Updating saves is necessary whenever we uninstall or modify plugins in an on-going save.

Repairing Saves

  • In Mod Organizer 2, click on the executables dropdown menu to the left of the Run button, and select mash64.

  • Run mash64.

  • Select the Saves tab.

  • Right-click a save then click Repair All.

Repairing saves is necessary whenever you uninstall or modify plugins in an on-going save.
