MOD-LIST
PLEASE READ: Install the following mods one by one, in listed order. This is important, as some mods overwrite files from others.
Most listed mods are from NexusMods. Unless otherwise specified, install the latest "Main File" and click "YES" to overwrite if asked.
Mods 1: Main Mods
These mods should be installed manually, not via NMM

When done selecting, press "Apply chosen patches", and close the program.
Mods 2: Bug-Fixes
Due to Morrowind's age, some mods from the Nexus
are structured in a way that NMM can't use. Those mods have all been repacked and put in the files section
of this guide. (Repackaged so they work perfectly with NMM) Out of
courtesy to the creators of those mods, links are provided to the original
content, even though no download is necessary.
Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) info:
Launch NMM and use the
username and password from the Nexus site.
When following the links in this mod-list, you will land on the description page
of the specific mod. Click
the "Files" tab and you
will get to the download section. Unless otherwise specified, find the "Main Files",
usually at the very top, and click
NMM will catch the file and start downloading right away. NMM
will automatically save it to a mod folder, and the mod will then show in the "mods"
tab of the main window. Right click it, and you can choose to install, uninstall
or permanently delete it. When it is installed, a green check mark will show
next to the mod, and if the mod contains esm/esp files, they will show in
the "Plugins" tab.
Script Improvements (LINK)
*Repacked file
*Download the file, and add it to NMM.
NMM manual download installation: Click "Add mod from file" from the side menu (See image)
Select the downloaded file, and it should appear in the mods window.
If if doesn't, then hover the mouse over "Download Manager" at the bottom of NMM
till it opens. Then click the mod, and following click the blue triangle.
Now it will appear in the mods window for sure.

*Note for Windows 10 users:
The Creators update for Windows 10 introduced a wide variety of problems,
especially for games with custom renders like ENB or ReShade. If you encounter
problems like messed-up graphics or extreme slowdowns, then follow the steps in number 4 here: (LINK)
*Pay special attention to the RivaTuner settings.
If this doesn't work, then Windows is somehow still blocking it. Search Google
for alternative ways of forcing Windows 10 to use custom d3d files.
LOAD-ORDER
Info: The load-order is a list that determines in which order Morrowind
loads additional content. (Mods) The load-order has 255 slots which are loaded into the
memory one by one in the exact order they are listed. If identical data
appears (If two mods contain the same data), the mod listed last, overwrites whatever came
first. Also, if a mod has references to another mod, then this other mod HAS to be
listed in the load-order before the mod with the dependency. If a mod is
depending on something that is missing or listed later in the load-order,
Morrowind
will either not load those mods, load them with errors, or not even start up.
This fact makes it VERY important to have a 100% correct load-order. Besides dependencies, some mods edit the same location cells,
and often have different lighting settings, even if the mod has nothing to do
with lighting. This doesn't cause the game to crash, but it might cause
graphical, lighting or weather errors. Having a correct load-order is
absolutely necessary for Morrowind to run properly.
CORRECT LOAD-ORDER:
Start NMM and click the "Plugins" tab. Then sort everything according to
this list

The game is now fully modded and ready for launch!
*If the game CTD on the very first
launch, don't worry. CTDs
sometimes happen at the very first launch after file changes. This
happens because of inconsistency with game-cache. Start Morrowind again, and everything
will be fine.
