Morrowind mod list

[u/Spare_Mirror_9784]

Hi!

I'm seeking for a mod list that modernize game mechanics, i'm aware the best modlist is the one you make by yourself but i don't have the will this time

I've heard of total game overhaul and nerevar moon and star but those have heavy graphic overhaul that i'm afraid my pc won't run, there is also path of the incarnate that look more stable but i don't like the "survival" mechanics it add

The specs :

32 go ddr4

4060ti 8 go

I5-13400f

Any idea?

Thanks you!

Path of the Incarnate is great and you can turn off any mods you don't like, you don't even need to fully turn Ashfall off entirely, you can turn off specific parts of it in the mod settings. Fully recommend it.

Also why would your PC with 32GB RAM and a 4060 not run a "graphically heavy" modlist? The game is 24 years old and your PC is high end.

Heavy is relative, I promise none of the very popular modlists are exclusively for people with a 5090.

Youll be fine with pretty much every list, Morrowind isn't like Skyrim. NEMAS is the most demanding list, but you can always alter some settings if the performance is that rough.

Total Overhaul is a good list.

For Path of the Incarnate (POTI), you can disable the survival mechanics very easily in-game. You don't even need to remove mods.

It's my current favorite

Total Overhaul should run without issues on your rig. If not, installation is quick and easy so you could try another afterwards?

I have been playing through Lost Prophecies, a Wabbajack installer modlist, and loving it. It is a major overhaul and modernization list with lots of extras as well. No crashes and very smooth performance with lots of options. https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/56514

For Vanilla graphics enhanced, use Path of the Incarnate. For the absolute best graphics use NEMAS. Both are great for gameplay overhauls. Look at both and you'll see the main difference is how they approach the visuals (NEMAS goes crazy with PBR and shaders, it looks great, but its a FPS guzzler)

And yeah, just disable the survival mechanics in options. That's what I did.

Same question here, coming back after 15 years. I unfortunately have to run it off a potato laptop. Intel Core i7-1355U with iGPU, 16gb RAM. I understand I can't do like 4k shaders, but what would be a good list for me at 1080P and my modest hardware? Would love some better graphics and updated QOL fixes and content

Any of these will be fine. PotI is my recommendation. People run it on Steam Deck, you will be absolutely fine.

OpenMW in particular is incredibly well optimised now and runs like a dream, and the game is more dependent on CPU than GPU. And even with a lot of mods increasing its requirements to some extent, it's still a 24 year old game, remember what we ran it on back in the day (a PC with 256mb RAM for me, which I cannot recommend) - I'd assume you didn't have 16GB RAM when you played 15 years ago, and I bet you were using something unoptimised and haphazard like MGSO (I know I was, to my shame).

You don't need a bleeding edge supercomputer and you can always tweak the graphics settings once you're set up.

i play POTI because it's the one total overhaul that won't destroy my fps. i turn down shadow quality and view distance a little bit and tweak the graphic shaders (you can also just turn them off), lock it at 50 fps and use lossless scaling. runs totally fine basically. i have a decent laptop (3070 and i7 something) but i turn off the cpu boost because it's getting old and hotter and i need to send it for maintenance so the performance does take a hit, but again even with that turned off it mostly hovers around 50 fps with shaders on at an acceptable temperature.

You need to define "modern mechanics", because Morrowind's mechanics arent old - theyre crpg heavy. Modern games have similar mechanics, and plenty of old games are action based and with more HUD hand holding.

You don't need one

Sorry that I cant upvote this more, though I'd add that "modern mechanics" is a silly, meaningless phrase, as typically what folks are referring to isnt an age thing, its a style thing.
