Jack the Reaper's List of Essential Mods!

Most of these Morrowind mods are must-haves whenever I even think of playing the game- the rest are just really cool XD! Somehow, they just make the world feel right.~

BTW: You might be able to use all of these at once, but your computer better be pretty damn awesome!

Illuminated Windows - At night windows glow with candlelight from outside, during the day the windows appear lit up with sunlight from inside.
Better Bodies - Replaces the absolutely awful, segmented bodies with continuous ones.
Better Clothes - Changes the clothes meshes to fit with Better Bodies.
Changing Faces - Everyone in Morrowind now looks different from everyone else.
Weathered Signposts - Makes signposts readable from a distance.
Morrowind Visual Pack and Update - MVP Makes everything look pretty! :3
Children of Morrowind - Places child NPCs all over Vvardenfel.
Morrowind Comes Alive - Places random NPCs throughout Morrowind so that it seems more populated.
The Regulars - Sitting NPCs - Places sitting NPCs in taverns and bars.
Living Cities of Vvardenfell - Puts NPCs on schedules and locks doors at night.
NPC Move Comand - Tell someone to move out of your way.
Passive Healthy Wildlife - Not all wildlife will attack on sight now. Only if they're sick or bothered.
Alternate Beginnings - You could start the game in many different places- not on the prison ship as usual.
Necessities of Morrowind - Adds the need to drink, eat, and sleep.
Less Generic NPCs - Makes dialogue with NPCs less boring and scripted.
Tales of the Bitter Coast - Places several NPCs all over the bitter coast with quests for low-level characters.
Tales of Tel Branora - Same as Tales of the Bitter Coast, but around Tel Branora now.
At Home Alchemy - Allows you to activate alchemy apparatuses without adding them to your inventory.
Graphic Herbalism - When you collect ingredients, plants will change and appear to be missing the part that you gathered from it.
Wanderers of Solstheim - Places random friendly NPCs throughout solstheim to increase realism.
Wilderness Sounds Mod - The wilderness sounds more realistic.
Interior Weather - Lets you hear the weather when you're indoors.
Atmospheric Sound Effects - More sound effects for Morrowind.

Music additions:
The Epic Soundtrack

Update 04/24/11
I forgot about these ^_^'
More Better Clothes - Finishes the rest of the clothes that weren't finished in Better Clothes.
Canadian Ice's Robes  - Neither of the Better Clothes mods bother to redo the robes, so here's a mod that does that. Two mods, in fact. You can choose whichever you like best and there's even an option to customize. I prefer NioLiv's version mahself~
Better Deities: Azura, Vivec, Almalexia - Makes the deities around morrowind look better.
Correct UV Rocks  - Replaces the meshes for rocks so that there are no seams visible. This isn't a very important one unless you're planning on using High resolution textures like the ones in MVP above. This is only changes the meshes, so it shouldn't conflict with any graphics replacer you use.
Bloodmoon Landscape Overhaul - The Bloodmoon version of MVP.
Better Books - Replaces the book textures with better ones.
Better Music - Complete overhaul of the way music works in Morrowind.


IMPORTANT
I felt inclined to add some instruction lest you totally screw up your game and have to reinstall it. If you are going to download Morrowind Visual Pack IN ADDITION to any other graphics replacer, install Morrowind Visual Pack FIRST. If you don't, there may be major conflicts.

  1. Great blog you have here!

    I'll admit, I stumbled upon it totally by accident while Googling for Morrowind mods, but I'm glad that I did.

    I've just returned to playing Morrowind after a long hiatus, and trying to find mods often leads to a lot of "NOT FOUND" dead-ends. It's comforting to know that there are still players with an active interest in the game and its mods who are helping to keep things current.

  2. Again, thanks for this. I found a few gems in your list that I had been unaware of. I only had about half of the separate LGNPC plugins I had DLed a year or two ago, so being able to jump straight to their site and DL the bundled package with just a click or two was really convenient and helpful.
