Main Fixes

  • Main Files - Patch for Purists

Unofficial patch that aims to make the game completely bug-free, within the abilities of Construction Set. It diverges from later versions of the community patches in that it takes a more conservative approach about what it considers a bug.

The official plugins are listed for completionism purposes. By no means are they considered essential to the Morrowind experience.

  • Main Files - Unofficial Morrowind Official Plugins Patched

  • You will be prompted with a FOMOD installer:

    • Version -> UMOPP Individual

    • Compatibility Versions

    • Click Install.

An attempt to fix the many issues present in Bethesda's original Official Plugins.

  • You will be prompted with a FOMOD installer:

    • Plugins to Install

    • High Res Textures? -> Yes

    • Click Install.

Implementation of Bethesda's Official Plugins with some slightly improved implementation. Uses UMOPP as a base.

  • Main Files - The Publicans

  • You will be prompted with a BAIN installer, here select Core and click Ok.

Fixes several places in the vanilla game that are set up like inns, but in which Bethesda for some reason forgot to add the option to rent a room in.

  • Main Files - Under Construction

Restores missing stages during the construction of Great House strongholds. Construction materials and scaffolding are now visible during construction of the later stages.

  • Main Files - Calculated List Fix

Addresses a handful of leveled lists that prevented lower level enemies from spawning at higher character levels, as is the norm for most monster leveled lists in the game. As a side effect, the player can now get a steady supply of enchanted arrows from Skeleton Archers, a low level enemy.

Mesh Fixes

  • Main Files - RopeFenceFix 1.4

Optimizes the most performance heavy areas of vanilla Morrowind through texture atlases.

Project Atlas' meshes utilize their own textures. Any retexture of the vanilla textures will require a patch to convert them to Project Atlas-compatible texture sets.

Mods installed in this guide are already compatible with Project Atlas, or have texture patches available which will be installed in due time.

  • Main Files - Creature VFX restoration

Restores visual effects on creatures that weren't displayed for technical reasons.
