At the time of its release, Morrowind impressed everyone with its magnificent graphics. Now, after many years, the game is already far from modern standards. The picture now looks, to put it mildly, outdated, and special effects no longer cause delight. Fortunately, there are mods for Morrowind that can make a difference. And in this article those modifications will be considered, thanks to which you can look at this magnificent game in a new way.
Overhaul project
Global graphics mod for TES Morrowind. Its main advantage is its simple installation, which allows you to improve the game in automatic mode and without unnecessary headache. Simply put, this modification is suitable for those gamers who do not want to bother.
In fact, Morrowind Overhaul is a collection of all sorts of small mods for improving graphics, which also do not require additional settings. So, for example, this includes improved textures, shadows, lighting, sounds and much more. At the same time, the author tried to do everything so that the modification did not violate the original atmosphere of the game, and, I must say, he succeeded.
Graphics Extender
And this graphics mod for Morrowind is suitable for those who want to customize everything for themselves. First of all, it greatly increases the distance of visibility, as well as displaying a distant landscape and other objects. In addition, the modification activates previously inaccessible graphic effects and functions in the game, such as improved shaders, animation of vegetation, the ability to reassign keys and much more. It is also worth noting that this mod for Morrowind does not greatly affect performance. Even if your computer is not too powerful, the game will still become much more beautiful and at the same time FPS drawdowns will not appear.
Better bodies
This graphic mod for Morrowind adds improved body models to the game that look much more realistic than in the original. First of all, the modification will remove all corners from the figures of your characters, as well as add muscle. It is worth noting that the author used exclusively high-resolution textures that look very high quality to create Better Bodies.
More importantly, without installing this mod, it will be impossible to apply many other improvements, one way or another concerning the appearance of the characters. For example, many retexture of armor or clothing simply refuse to work with standard character bodies.
Better heads
This modification replaces the original heads of the heroes with more elaborate and realistic ones. Of course, the faces of the characters will still look slightly caricatured, but still they will become much better than in the basic version of the game.
The mod for Morrowind Better Heads adds more than three hundred new models. At the same time, improvements affect the faces and hairstyles of not only the main characters, but almost all of the minor ones. By the way, the mod also includes hairstyles that look much more interesting than the original ones.
The only drawback of this modification is that it does not work on Khajiit. It is not known why the author has so deprived the furry warriors, but, unfortunately, nothing can be done about it.
Armor + Weapons Retexture
The author of this mod for Morrowind did a really tremendous job. He replaced the textures of all weapons and armor with better ones, while preserving their authentic appearance. By the way, not only the equipment used by the protagonist received the improved appearance, but also the one worn by the NPC. In addition to all of the above, the author also made sure that installing the modification was very simple. It is enough just to replace the files from the Data Files folder located in the game directory with those that are in the archive with the mod. After that, all changes will automatically take effect.
Creature + World Retexture
The creator of the retexture of armor and weapons did not stop there and decided to release an even more global mod. This time, improvements touched the creatures that live on the expanses of Morrowind. In addition, the modification updates the textures of plants, interior items, buildings, land and so on.
Installation, as in the case of the mod for armor and weapons, is performed by replacing the files in the Data Files folder. The procedure is simple and it does not take you much time, but the game, thanks to this modification, will sparkle with new colors.
Morrowind Optimization Patch
No matter how strange it may sound, even users of powerful computers suffer from the low performance in Morrowind. The fact is that the game simply does not know how to work correctly with modern video cards and processors, using only a small part of their resources. This modification will greatly enhance the optimization. By installing it, you will get rid of the periodic lags and drawdowns of FPS, which often occur when traveling around the open world.
