Prerequisite/Warning
This is not a guide, this is a simple list of all of the mods I personally use(d) or am going to use. If you do not know how to mod Morrowind,
or have a mid range computer I recommend you look elsewhere. In fact there is a very nice, guide made by Borrowind called Morrowind Expanded.
Morrowind Expanded
You may notice our "lists" look similar, and that is because he has some of the best mods. His guide will help you learn how to mod Morrowind
and give you some of the best mods you can find. I am in no way trying to steal his thunder, he did an amazing job. Like I said... this is just
a list of the mods I am using. The Morrowind mod community is very alive and even my mods are getting outdated. If you know of, or find new
versions of mods I am using please let me know!


Morrowind Graphics Extender
I am not going to show you how to use MGE, you can go back to Morrowind Expanded (he explained how to use it very well in fact and I recommend
anyone experienced or new to MGE to check it out),or the official Morrowind forums. The community there is very strong and friendly and will
help you greatly. MGE is a very complicated yet necessary program.
Official Morrowind Graphics Extender Thread on TES Forums
This thread gets locked and renewed almost every few weeks, it is very active, just look for the newest thread and you can find all the help you
need, the latest version of MGE and how to use it.

Also you will find a list of shaders and a shader library. My shaders are not the best. They are not up to date. However they work well and they
are a good starting point, especially if you don't know much about shaders to begin with. My personal shader tree looks like this...

trueBloom_g5e
sunshaft_v002a
knx_SSA0_v09

Patches
If you have the GOTY edition, or haven't been under a rock you should have Morrowind v1.2.0.722. However if you do not, here is the link to
patches at Elder Scrolls, scroll to the bottom and you will find Morrowind.

Textures/Meshes/Graphical Mods (The Most Important)
Try to install these in an order similar to this list. When you want a texture to override another texture, you want make sure it is installed
aftwards. Basically what ever is installed last is what is going to be in your game. So say you found a pack that has a bunch of miscellaneous
items, most looks good, but you found a texuture of potion in another stand-alone mod. You will want to install the miscellaneous items, and THEN
the potions. I tried to keep this in mind when making this list, but you should double check.

Please note: In my opinion one of the best retexturers was Connary. For some reason it is hard to find his textures anymore. I have some of them
in this list, if you see them and like them, and have faith, then you can download his entire texture pack. If you are even contimplating using this
then I'm sure you know when to install it.

Trees
There are a lot of ways you can do the trees that I would approve of. I have tried many combos, and they can become very
heavy on your CPU/GPU. In my video I have Vality's Bitter Coast Mod, Balmora Mod, Ascadian Isles Mod, and finally Bob's Leaf Retexture over all of that.
If my computer could handle it however. I would instal all of these mods in this order; Vality's Bitter Coast Mod, Balmora Mod, Ascadian Isles Mod,
Vurt's Morrowind Tree Textures Overhaul; Vurt's Leafy West Gash; Vurt's Ascadian Isles Tree Replacer; and finally Bob's Leaf Retexture, just choose what
looks best to you. Either way you WILL want the Ashlands and Solstheim overhauls installed after what ever you choose.

Grass
Both of these have their pro's and con's and I belive Vurt's Ground Cover is newer, and I plan on trying it out, however I use Morrowind Grass Mod from Vality.

Skies
Here are a few different sky textures you can choose from. I am using SWG's Skies V3, however I felt like the others were worth noting. Remeber to choose only one

Moons
Here are the moons Masser and Secunda. You can mix these if you wish (and know what you are doing). Personally I like Masser from one and Secunda from the
other. If you don't feel comfortable in mixing and matching just choose wich ever you feel is best.

The Graphical Part of my INI File
I'm not posting my whole INI for a reason, it would be very bad of you to just copy the whole thing and try to use it. Use the parts I show you here,
the only parts that matter and being to alter and test your own INI untill you get it looking how you want. There are no perfect settings, it is just
what looks best to you, and want compliments your mods and monitor settings the best.
