Fun With MODs Part 1

As I said in my first post I use a lot of MODs when I usually play Morrowind, though for the purposes of this blog I removed almost all of them. Playing through the game without MODs can be a little boring though, so I'll take a break every so often just to mess around with them. I would have waited a little bit longer to do this, but I just found a site where I could download a lot more. Of course I did, and now I'm seeing which ones work, and which don't. So here's the tale of me using MODs.

I installed all of the right files into the Data Files folder in my Program Files. Then I opened up Morrowind and I decided to just work my way down the list to see which MODs conflict enough to cause a problem. First off I made a new character who I named "basduf" or something to that effect. I used my favorite method of randomly hitting buttons on the keyboard to make this name. I surprising like it. I made myself a male Nord Barbarian again just because it doesn't matter and I wanted to just blow right through it.

Cutting it short: Thanks to my inability to complete anything, I'm cutting this short and just going to list what, in this case, MODs I tested and played around with.

----------

Morrorwind2fishbeta = Adds lots of fish to Morrowind and it worked nicely and I enjoyed it a lot for how basic it was.


World of Faces= Adds new faces to random NPCs, looks nice and is rather subtle but effective.

Waterlife= Adds the ability to fish and more fish!

Book Rotate= Allows you to rotate books when placing them on shelves so that you can have a nice looking library.

Morrowind Patch= Fixes 99% of the bugs the official patches didn't catch.

Living Cities of Vvardenfell Scehdule Markers= Creates scehdules for various NPCs around Vvardenfell, breathes new life into the game though finding some NPCs can be a bitch.

NPC LCV Schedules= I'm not sure if this does what the above MOD does or what...

Less Generic NPC's Seyda Need= Makes all Seyda Neen NPC's different and slightly changes the town layout and adds a few new quests. The LGNPC series is one of the most amazing MODs in my opinion.
