We’ve upgraded characters’ bodies, heads, and regular clothes, but we’re not anywhere near done. Now we’ll continue on to robes, armor, and weapons.

(Re)installing Morrowind, Pt. 7: Body and Clothing Replacers
Morrowind’s character models have always been… well, terrible, really. Thankfully the modding community stepped up and rebuilt them, so you no longer have to wander Vvardenfell looking like a twisted freak of nature. Updating the character graphics must be done in multiple steps, because the mods are fairly specialized. We have different mods for humanoid bodies, beast-race bodies, textures, heads and hair, clothing, armor, and weapons. Most of those we will cover in this update. Get ready to look your best!
(Re)installing Morrowind, Pt. 7.5: Basic Quality of Life Improvements | Morrowind Modding Guide 2023
Now that we have fixed most of the bugs, we’re going to make a few improvements to gameplay, most of which are optional. Remember, this guide is meant to be purist-friendly, but that doesn’t mean purist-only. The addons on this page are well worth a look even if you’re a diehard vanilla Morrowind fan, but it won’t hurt you to skip them (beyond not receiving their benefits, of course).
This will also allow you to experience Morrowind more closely to how it was designed, albeit with fewer bugs and better gameplay. When we reach the point of anything advanced enough to be game-altering rather than game-improving, I’ll let you know.
(Re)installing Morrowind, Pt. 5: Patch for Purists and Load Order | Morrowind Modding Guide 2023
Now that we’ve established some good habits for organizing your Morrowind directory, it’s time to install your very first Morrowind addons — or at least the first that are actually regular addons and not a whole separate program. These mods will get rid of blurriness and artifacts in the vanilla graphics and fix thousands of bugs. You’ll also learn about managing your load order and activating mods for use in the game.
(Re)installing Morrowind, Pt. 4: Mod Installation Best Practices | Morrowind Modding Guide 2023
Now that we are through tinkering with the Morrowind Code Patch and MGE XE, it’s time to install some regular addons. We’re going to start with some important bug fixes, but first I’ll explain general addon usage, along with my suggestion for an ideal way to keep everything organized. If you’re using MO2, you won’t need some of the organizational tips, but you should read through the basics anyway.
