# Official Plugins

### There Are A Few Ways We Can Do This, And The Choice Is Yours

The official plugins are a number of mods released by Bethesda for the game. These are not to be confused with the official expansions (Tribunal and Bloodmoon).

The popular consensus is that only a few of the plugins are worth installing. You may very well not interact with them at all, or even be aware of their presence.

However, this guide's intention is clear, and that is to include all official content, no matter how mediocre. But in the spirit of choice, I give you the following options:

* Skip this step, move on with **Bug Fixes**, and never look back.
* Install the official plugins, with bug fixes, and enjoy a mediocre but purist experience.
* Install a mix of official plugins and edited plugins, with plenty of improvements, and enjoy a "naturalized" experience.

### The Purist Experience

* Install the following files from [**Unofficial Morrowind Official Plugins Patched**](https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/43931)**:**
  * **Main Files - Unofficial Morrowind Official Plugins Patched**
  * You will be prompted with a **FOMOD** installer:
    * Select the **UMOPP Merged** version.
    * Select the **Compatibility** version.
    * Do not select Better Armor Compatibility.
    * Install the mod.
