Mod status
Introduction
Once you have played through unmodded Morrowind and its expansions, you probably want to add some spice to your next playthrough: Hundreds of modifications (mods) are available to enhance the overall gameplay, adjust the game mechanics to your tastes, or simply improve the graphic's quality. There also are mods which add new landscapes and quests -- and some are proper total conversions (TCs), stand-alone games taking Morrowind's engine as a basis.
The OpenMW project has set one of its main goals to provide compatibility with each and every Morrowind mod which
- is a pure replacer or a modification created with the original Construction Set,
- doesn't rely on third-party software or other engine hacks,
- doesn't contain any severe scripting errors or other crucial design flaws.
Our engine is, of course, not perfect and certain mods may fail to load or show unexpected behaviour. If you encounter any bugs with a mod, please report them at our bugtracker or at our forums (newbies should check out our Bug Reporting Guidelines). Additionally, we have created this page to keep track of tested Morrowind mods and provide information about issues related to each of these mods.
Status Indicators
This page contains a list of catalogued Morrowind mods and a list of catalogued Morrowind utilities -- both with extra information about certain famous mods or utilities respectively -- as well as an overview of OpenMW-exclusive mods. In this context, we use several icons to indicate the working status of a mod:
Mod Installation
OpenMW uses a more flexible method for installing mods. Check out our Mod installation Wiki page here.

Further information and discussion
Anyone who is a member of the Wiki group can add details of mods they have tested; see the forum's User Control Panel and assign yourself to the group in order to get access.
We also have a Mod Compatibility subforum where any issues can be discussed thoroughly.
If you want to test Morrowind mods in OpenMW but don't know how to start, check out our Mod Testing Guidelines. If you already know how to properly test mods in OpenMW, please check this page out too because it also contains information regarding posting your test results.
Working Status of Existing Morrowind Mods
The following list of "tested", "test in progress", "needs re-testing", or "not tested yet" mods makes no claim to be complete. Every Morrowind modification fulfilling the requirements mentioned above should work with OpenMW. The statements made about a mod's working status refer to a clean OpenMW installation, only using the particular mod and its required content files.

Name | Version | Author | Status [?] | Test Version | Test Date | Tester(s) | Comments |
Adamantium Armor | 1.0 | Bethesda Softworks | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/30 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. First successful test with OpenMW 0.35.1 by Cramal. | |
Advanced Herbalism | 1.2 | andoreth adjusted by Tinker |
OpenMW 0.34.0 | n.a. | Tinker | This mod could never have worked properly in vanilla due to script errors. There is an updated version where the scripts work but there is still a problem that trainers do not always appear. | |
Almalexia Voice Addon | 1.0 | Skydiver | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/29 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. In contrast to the vanilla game, there is a short delay when selecting a new topic before the current voiced dialogue has finished. Moreover, the none-dialogue voiceovers do not interrupt the voiced dialogues and vice versa, leading to overlays when starting or finishing the dialogue too early. | |
Animal Realism | 1.0 | <unknown> | OpenMW 0.35.1 | n.a. | Cramal | No problems, works as in vanilla Morrowind. | |
Animated Morrowind - Expanded | n.a. | Arcimaestro Antares Vikart Spirithawke |
OpenMW 0.35.0 | n.a. | Tinker | The «fixed» version loads without errors in OpenMW and added characters do appear. Two scripts are still broken, trying to use Playsound3d with volume and pitch parameters, the parameters should be deleted or the correct command used Playsound3dvp. | |
Animation Compilation | 0.32 | Artaios Dirnae |
OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/20 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. | |

Ascadian Isles Mod | 2.0 | Vality | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/21 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. | |
Ascadian Isles Mod | 2.4a | vurt | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/28 | Atahualpa | Some textures appear very shiny due to the fake bump maps which OpenMW displays differently compared to the original engine. Moreover, OpenMW does not display falling leaves and bees around flowers, generating warning messages about missing texture layers. | |
Ascadian Isles Mod for use with Vurt's Ascadian Isles tree overhaul | 1.0 | Knots | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/28 | Atahualpa | Works as intended. However, please note that all issues with Vurt's Ascadian Isles mod also apply to this one. Additionally, the increased number of trees plus the very large tree meshes result in a huge performance drop when wandering around the Ascadian Isles region. | |

1.0 | Lestat DeLioncourt | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/19 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. | |

Ashlands Overhaul | 1.2 | vurt | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/28 | Atahualpa | Mostly works as intended. There are warning messages about missing NiTexture properties for the new Ghostfence meshes in the console. The test included the optional ashland tree mesh with fewer branches. | |
Ashlands Reloaded (AL_Reloaded) |
1.0 | Lestat DeLioncourt | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/19 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. | |
Assassin Ambush | 2.5 | hollaajith | OpenMW 0.35.1 | n.a. | <unknown> | Assassins are occasionally stuck within walls or doors. Sometimes rogues do not initiate combat. Otherwise the mod appears to work as intended. | |
Asura Coast and Sheogorath Region Rextexture (sic!) |
2.0 | Apel | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/19 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. The light/wetness effects on some textures look even better in OpenMW. | |

Better Dialogue Font | 1.0 | Hrnchamd | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/20 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. Please note that OpenMW can make use of True Type fonts to enhance readability; see the corresponding Fonts Wiki page for further information. | |
Better Glow | 1.2 | Tapani_doe | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/21 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. The flickering frequencey is a bit annoying though -- in both engines. | |

OpenMW 0.35.1 | n.a. | asmo | Works as intended. | |
Better Heads Argonians Playable Heads Pack | 1.1 | Arathrax Gorg Silaria |

Everything seems to work as expected though some books do have slightly different titles in the inventory than those in the books. | |
BTB's Sorted New Alchemy Potions | 1.5 | Revan | OpenMW 0.33.0 | n.a. | <unknown> | Using the esp for AOF style potions and the meshes, textures, icons for vanilla style potions, the mod works perfectly | |
CharGen Revamped | 2.3.2 | Mitokandria | OpenMW 0.38.0 | n.a. | Natalie | Works perfectly. | |
Children of Morrowind | 2.0 | Emma | OpenMW 0.35.1 | n.a. | <unknown> | Previous tester had incorrect testing environment; needs testing. | |
Clear Your Name | 1.0 | Lucevar | OpenMW 0.36.1 | n.a. | Slissith | Although the mod works as intended, saving after the bounty is set to zero by Nolus Atrius creates a save file that fails to load due to a compile error. | |
Clockwork City Reborn | 1.0 | Saint_Jiub | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/06 | Atahualpa | Mostly works as intended; no console outputs. At least one texture appears very dark in OpenMW compared to the original engine though. | |
Comberry Bush Replacer | 2.1 | Pherim | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/21 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. The test included the optional mesh for the Graphic Herbalism mod as well as the vanilla-style textures. | |
Comberry texture replacer | 1.0 | Aisis | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/21 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. | |
Compass | 1.0 | Marbred | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/21 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. The compass looks a bit small on the world map though -- which also is an issue in the vanilla version. | |
Correct UV Rocks | 1.0 | Nich CJW-Craigor |
OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/19 | Atahualpa | With this replacer, at least on rock mesh (terrain_rock_ac_10) appears extremly distorted in scale which results in some of the rocks being invisible as they have been moved below the terrain. This is an error on the mod author's side; see our forums for more information. | |
Correct UV trees | 0.4 | Nich | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/21 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. | |
Creatorium Part 1 - Waters and Shores | 1.0 | R-Zero | OpenMW 0.35.0 | n.a. | <unknown> | Appears to work as intended. | |
Creatures | XI | Piratelord | OpenMW 0.35.0 | n.a. | <unknown> | Should be issue-free since 0.35.0 version. | |

Dagoth Gares Voice Addon | 1.1 | Skydiver Tyana Rie |
OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/29 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. In contrast to the vanilla game, there is a short delay when selecting a new topic before the current voiced dialogue has finished. Moreover, the none-dialogue voiceovers do not interrupt the voiced dialogues and vice versa, leading to overlays when starting or finishing the dialogue too early. | |
Dagoth Ur Voice Addon | 1.0 | Miltiades MrTS Tyana Rie |
OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/29 | Atahualpa | There is a scripting error which prevents most of the audio files from playing. See our forums for a guide on how to fix this bug. In contrast to the vanilla game, there is a short delay when selecting a new topic before the current voiced dialogue has finished. Moreover, the none-dialogue voiceovers do not interrupt the voiced dialogues and vice versa, leading to overlays when starting or finishing the dialogue too early. | |
Dark Interface | 2.0 | Sir Bob | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/20 | Atahualpa | None of the menu background textures are loaded because OpenMW simply ignores the new meshes. This leads to unreadable menus. In order to get the mod working, you'd have to rename the texture files, convert them into the proper format, and hope that the standard meshes fit the ones introduced by this mod. See [https://forum.openmw.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=3883 our forums) for more information. | |
Dark Interface - LoFi Version | 2.0 | Sir Bob | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/20 | Atahualpa | None of the menu background textures are loaded because OpenMW simply ignores the new meshes.

Dark UI Redux - Morrowind | 3.5 | Sir Bob | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/20 | Atahualpa | None of the menu background textures are loaded because OpenMW simply ignores the new meshes.

See [https://forum.openmw.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=3883 our forums) for more information. The optional splash screens work as intended. | |
Deus Ex Machina - A Steampunkyish Mod | 3.6 | Trainwiz | OpenMW 0.35.0 | n.a. | <unknown> | The mod is partially playable. Going to the island itself via levitation crashes the game (edit by scrawl: crash may be fixed in master/commit24de6ba27e06a3, please test), but you can travel to it via various dungeons added by the mod in Morrowind. Some meshes don't appear and OpenMW-CS is unable to load the plugin due to errors. | |
Dwemer Ruins Textures | 1.1 | Darknut | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/06 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. | |

Dynamic MGE Water | 1.0 | Solidfire | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/20 | Atahualpa | Requires MGE; will never work with OpenMW. | |
Dynamic Morrowind Towns | 7.0 | Skibidyboparoobopadopa | OpenMW 0.35.0 | n.a. | <unknown> | Causes a massive performance drop, although the mod itself appears to work as intended. | |
Ebonheart Fix | 1.1 | Kid77 | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/06 | Atahualpa | This mod is unnecessary because OpenMW blends an arbitrary number of land textures seamlessly. | |
Enhanced Economics | 2.1 | Crankgorilla | OpenMW 0.35.0 | n.a. | <unknown> | Some weapons appear textureless, works fine otherwise. | |
Entertainers | 1.0 | Bethesda Softworks | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/30 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. First successful test with OpenMW 0.35.1 by Cramal. | |
Expanded Sounds | 1.3 | Piratelord | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/29 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. You have to modify your openmw.cfg in order to make full use of this mod. Look here for more information. | |
Extreme Textures: Journal Fix | 1.0 | Masoxx | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/20 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. | |
Extreme Textures: Menu | 1.0 | Masoxx | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/20 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. | |
Fair Magicka Regen | 2.0b | Smoke | OpenMW 0.37.0 | n.a. | Tinker | A typo stops mana regeneration script compiling. Workaround: edit the script in OpenMW-CS so 26th line of mana_regen script contains semicolon instead of colon in the end. Then the mod works as intended. | |
Fire Retexture | 2.0 | Apel | OpenMW 0.35.0 | n.a. | <unknown> | Works as intended. Uses "NiFogProperty" which is not implemented yet. | |
Fixed tavern mesh for Windows Glow 2.2 | 1.0 | Dragon32 | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/06 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. | |
Freed Slaves Counter | 2.0 | mjr162006 | OpenMW 0.40.0 | n.a. | Durisat | Works as intended. | |
Galsiah's Character Development | 1.07c | Galsiah | OpenMW 0.39.0 | n.a. | Hallfaer | Galsiah's method for getting attributes and skills over 100 by limiting them to 95 and applying a scripted fortification doesn't work. They are capped at 95, though GCD itself correctly keeps track of the actual value it should be. In 0.39, saving/reloading and changing Intelligence reduced your current Magicka proportional to how far below max it was. (Still in 0.40) Drain Magicka multiplies current and max Magicka instead, until the next recalculation (save & load, rest, INT-change). This effect is cumulative, so eating a handful of Rat Meats puts your Magicka in the ten thousands. Check Bug 2036 and Bug 2471 pages for more information. | |
Godshrine | n.a. | <unknown> | OpenMW 0.40.0 | n.a. | Durisat | Works as intended. | |
Gold Weight | 1.01 | Tejón | OpenMW 0.35.1 | n.a. | <unknown> | Works as intended. Do not try to edit the plugin with OpenMW-CS and use an addon format, it doesn't save correctly. | |
Grand Solstheim | 1.0 | LazyGhost | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/19 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. | |
Graphic Herbalism | 1.3a | ManaUser | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/20 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. First successful test with OpenMW 0.37.0 by Tinker. | |
Graphic Herbalism - Expanded Sounds Compatibility Patch | 1.0 | Skrawafunda | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/29 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. You have to modify your openmw.cfg in order to make full use of this mod. Look here for more information. | |

Grass Replacer for Morrowind Grass Mod | 1.0 | Shade the Bandit | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/21 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. Using these meshes results in a performance gain compared to the Morrowind Grass Mod's ones. | |
Grazeland Trees | 1.31 | vurt | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/28 | Atahualpa | Works as intended. There are some console messages about missing cell references but this seems to be a vanilla issue as well. | |
Grazeland Trees II | 1.1 | vurt | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/28 | Atahualpa | Works as intended. There are warning messages about empty texture layers for one of the trees but I can't see any difference to the vanilla game. But beware of the cactuses! They tend to trap your character inside because of their collision shape. | |
Grazelands Reloaded (GL_Reloaded) |
1.0 | Lestat DeLioncourt | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/19 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. | |
Groundcover | 2.3a | vurt | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/14 | Atahualpa | Requires MGE to work properly because, otherwise, the meshes will collide with the player, making the game unplayable. Moreover, the grass remains static because of the missing animated grass feature MGE provides. | |
Helm of Tohan | 1.0 | Bethesda Softworks | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/30 | Atahualpa | Works as intended. There are several warnings regarding the scripts controlling the brothers' behaviour but OpenMW just ignores these errors on Bethesda's side. First successful test with OpenMW 0.35.1 by Cramal. | |
Herbalism for Purists | 1.22 | Syclonix | OpenMW 0.38.0 | n.a. | <unknown> | Works the same as in vanilla. | |

Ice Caverns Enhanced | 1.0 | Vality7 | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/06 | Atahualpa | The textures appear very shiny due to the fake bump maps which OpenMW displays differently compared to the original engine. Moreover, the .tga files are of a type which is not supported by our renderer (OpenSceneGraph) yet. This can be seen in the console ("code 1" messages). See the related Bug #3180: Texture won't load (code 1) with some mods on our bug tracker. | |
Illuminated Windows | 1.0 | Dark Angel | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/06 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. The Glow effect of the windows is not present in OpenMW though. See our forums for more information. | |

Morrowind Acoustic Overhaul | 1.0 | Logitech PeterBitt |
OpenMW 0.38.0 | n.a. | Sokami | The main MAO.esm disables player movement on every load (as well as less obvious problems), but the Readme specifically mentions component .esm files compatible with OpenMW, and using these alone works as described. | |

Morrowind Grass Mod Retexture | 2.2 | vurt | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/14 | Atahualpa | Requires MGE to work properly because, otherwise, the meshes will collide with the player, making the game unplayable. | |

Morrowind Tree Textures Overhaul | 1.0a | vurt | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/28 | Atahualpa | Mostly works as intended; no console outputs. However, the optional Mournhold trees enhancement does not work for me with both the vanilla engine as well as OpenMW. As these are completely optional, I chose the "minor issues" status. | |

Necessities of Morrowind | 3.03a | Taddeus | OpenMW 0.35.0 | n.a. | Tinker | Seems to work as intended. There are a few script warning in the error logs but the mod author is fixing that for an updated version. OpenMW does not need the water level fix mentioned in the readme. | |

NPC Additions | 1.11 | x Starfire X | OpenMW 0.33.0 | n.a. | <unknown> | Works as expected, but note that it uses leveled lists which are not easily merged in OpenMW yet. | |
Oblivion Style Interface | 1.0 | Sir Bob | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/20 | Atahualpa | None of the menu background textures are loaded because OpenMW simply ignores the new meshes. This leads to unreadable menus. In order to get the mod working, you'd have to rename the texture files, convert them into the proper format, and hope that the standard meshes fit the ones introduced by this mod. See [https://forum.openmw.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=3883 our forums) for more information. | |

Skyrim crafting for Morrowind | 0.3 | Mike | OpenMW 0.35.1 | n.a. | Tinker | Bug #2185 is partially fixed in 0.35.0 version, but a space between operators is still reported as an error. Other two script issues need to be fixed by mod author who has restarted work on the mod and is aware of problems. | |
Skyrim UI Overhaul for Morrowind | 1.3 | Mikeandike | OpenMW 0.35.0 | n.a. | <unknown> | Works the same as in vanilla Morrowind. | |
Sleepers Awake | 1.1 | Adul Von Djangos |
OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/30 | Atahualpa | This mod will never work properly because of OpenMW handling the "Say" command differently. The vanilla game simply plays new audio tracks over old ones, while OpenMW stops the current audio track, starts the new one, and displays the given subtitles. See this forum thread for a solution (involving a bit of modding). | |
Solstheim Overhaul Textures | 1.0 | Wollibeebee | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/19 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. Benefits from OpenMW's superior terrain blending (no seams). | |
Solstheim Rumour Fix | 1.0 | Illuminiel | OpenMW 0.35.1 | n.a. | Cramal | No problems found. Works the same as in vanilla Morrowind. | |
Solstheim Tree Replacer II | 1.1a | vurt | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/28 | Atahualpa | Mostly works as intended. There are warning messages about empty texture layers for some of the trees but I can't see any difference to the vanilla game. Additionally, there is a wrong texture reference leading to a console message: "Failed to open image: Resource 'textures/landscape/trees/treepineforestbarkcompsnow_n.dds' not found". This also is an issue in the vanilla engine. | |
Solstheim Trees and Bushes Replacer | 1.0 | vurt | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/28 | Atahualpa | Mostly works as intended. However, OpenMW does not display falling leaves, generating warning messages about missing texture layers. Oh, and beware of the conifers! Some of them have really nasty collision shapes which can trap your character. | |

Telvanni Exterior UV Fix | 1.0 | Plangkye | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/06 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. However, you may encounter this bug when having the Bloodmoon add-on installed. | |
Telvanni Shrooms | 1.0 | Kieve | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/06 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. | |
Texture Fix | 2.0 | Slartibartfast | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/06 | Atahualpa | This mod is unnecessary because OpenMW blends an arbitrary number of land textures seamlessly. | |
The Clockwork City | 1.0 | Aeven | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/06 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. | |

The Lighting Mod (TLM) (Modular version) |
1.0 | Sensei | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/21 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. The OpenMW version works even better because at least one plug-in combination crashes the original engine while loading the content files. | |
The Sable Dragon | 1.7 | Pluto28 | OpenMW 0.35.0 | n.a. | Tinker | OpenMW-CS displays errors related to races added by the mod and script-related errors. Error log reports many errors. | |
The Witchgirl Adventure | 1.1 | Emma | OpenMW 0.35.1 | n.a. | Loriel | Wasn't working in 0.35.1 version; issue which was the reason of it is fixed and current behavior is unknown. | |
Thieves Step | 1.1 | TJ | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/30 | Atahualpa | Works as intended. There are numerous warning messages about "stray explicit reference" in the console which refer to the incorrect usage of the GetPCSneaking and PlaySound functions. OpenMW ignores these errors though. | |

Ules Farm Abot's fix |
1.1 | Crankgorilla | OpenMW 0.35.0 | n.a. | Tinker | Mostly working with updated esp file. The well is still untextured (see Bug 2277) and there are a few warnings in the error logs. See initial bug report for more information: Bug 2032. Version 1.1 released January 2015 fixes many problems, and Abot's esp fixes most major problems. | |
Unique Tombs | 1.2 | tronvillain | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/06 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. | |
Uvirith's Legacy | 3.42 | Stuporstar | OpenMW 0.39.0 | n.a. | Xandaros | Mostly works. Exceptions being; the script for the alchemy take has a syntax error rendering it a normal container, the rituals for the inscription quills (during a sidequest) do not work, and there are some texture problems new to 0.39. The Bag of Holding used to be broken, but in 0.39 only needs to be used outside the main container room and the main container activated per each use. | |
Vibrant Morrowind | 4.0 | HeadlessWonder Skydye |
OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/20 | Atahualpa | Works as intended. There are some console messages about missing cell references but this seems to be a vanilla issue as well. | |
Vivec Bump Maps | 1.0 | Biont | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/06 | Atahualpa | The textures appear very shiny due to the fake bump maps which OpenMW displays differently compared to the original engine. | |

Vivec Voice Addon (Morrowind version) |
1.0 | Miltiades MrTS Tyana Rie |
OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/30 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. In contrast to the vanilla game, there is a short delay when selecting a new topic before the current voiced dialogue has finished. Moreover, the none-dialogue voiceovers do not interrupt the voiced dialogues and vice versa, leading to overlays when starting or finishing the dialogue too early. | |

Water Life | 1.21 | abot | OpenMW 0.35.0 | n.a. | Tinker | Several script warnings for PlaceItem using an explicit reference that is ignored. Several missing attack and idle animations. Many parts do work such as fishing, though maybe not as in vanilla. Shells, starfish and coins often just appear as a bounding box and it seems none can be harvested. | |
Weapon Compilation Mod | 2.0 | Farrp | OpenMW 0.36.1 | n.a. | <unknown> | Weapons cannot be added to NPCs via leveled list (related to Bug 2404). Initialization script fails when exiting the Census and Excise Office. | |
Weathered Signs | 1.1 | Voltayre | OpenMW 0.34.0 | n.a. | Tinker | Works exactly like in vanilla. | |
Welcome to the Arena | 6.6 | Kalamestari_69 | OpenMW 0.35.0 | n.a. | <unknown> | First battle will commence succesfully, but the game will not allow you to leave the Arena afterwards (lockpicking and going back in results in disqualification). Log reports multiple script errors. | |
West Gash Reloaded (WG_Reloaded) |
1.0 | Lestat DeLioncourt | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/19 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. | |
Where are all birds going? | 1.17 | abot | OpenMW 0.37.0 | n.a. | Amenophis | Runs almost flawlessly. There are warnings in log which may be safely ignored about failures to find idle animations for some added creatures. | |
Widescreen Alaisiagae Splash Screens | 1.0 | Yingerman | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/20 | Atahualpa | The splash screens aren't scaled to widescreen resolution but rather use the 4:3 format plus black frames on the sides. This is because of the original splash screens which would not only look terrible at widescreen resolutions but also have an original resolution of 1024x1024 and are stretched to 4:3 format. For now, OpenMW assumes that all splash screens have a ratio of 4:3. See this forum thread for more information. | |
Windows Glow | 2.2 | Colt17 | OpenMW 0.40.0 | 2016/10/06 | Atahualpa | Works as intended; no console outputs. The Glow effect of the windows is not present in OpenMW though. See our forums for more information. | |

Windows Glow Expansion | 1.10 | abot | OpenMW 0.34.0 | n.a. | <unknown> | The info here is very outdated and applies to 0.34.0 (December 2014) version only. Testing on more current version is desired. At night, the windows appear distorted, although they do glow. Green lights do not glow at all at night. Bug 2213. Believed to be related to Bug 2122. Both bugs are fixed as of April 2016. | |
Wizardly Wardrobe | 2.0 | Deathbliss | OpenMW 0.39.0 | n.a. | Durisat | Works as intended. | |

Mods using fake bump maps
The Morrowind Graphics Extender made it possible to use so-called fake bump maps in vanilla Morrowind. Apart from these bump maps not achieving the quality of real bump maps, our engine has a problem with this approach: The fake bump maps use the alpha channel to encode their bump mapping information. OpenMW interprets these values as plain alpha values, leading to very shiny textures. Moreover, our engine natively supports real bump maps which renders the hacky MGE version obsolete anyway.
Our member lysol has made some efforts to create a tutorial on how to get rid of these shiny textures in OpenMW. Once it is available, you'll find a link here.
To cut a long story short: Mods using fake bump maps will always appear very shiny in OpenMW. This can only be fixed by editing the textures/meshes.
Morrowind Graphics and Sound Overhaul (MGSO)
Morrowind Overhaul: Sounds & Graphics aka MGSO is one of the biggest and most famous Morrowind mod compilations ever made. It consists of a mere 300 mods (give or take a few) and integrates well-known utilities like the Morrowind Code Patch (MCP) and the Morrowind Graphics Extender (MGE). It comes with its own installer which allows players to adjust everything to their tastes.
Unfortunately, OpenMW does not support installer-based modifications like MGSO rendering this masterpiece basically incompatible with OpenMW. You may set up MGSO on your vanilla Morrowind installationn though, import your data and mod list to OpenMW, and hope for the best.
In any case, we've added many of the corresponding mods to the mod list above; check out the full mod list on our MGSO WIki page. (The original list was formerly available at the authors' website but has somehow vanished.)
Utilities for Vanilla Morrowind
There are quite a few third-party utilities for Morrowind which allow players to increase the game's graphical quality, tweak its performance, or adjust the load order of content files. While most of these programs are not compatible with OpenMW, some of them may be used to "prepare" an existing Morrowind installation and port the results to OpenMW. At your own risk, of course.
Please note that the meaning of the status indicators is a bit different compared to the other lists.

Name | Version | Author | Status [?] | Test Version | Test Date | Tester(s) | Comments |
Animation Kit | 2.1 | LizTail | 0.40.0 | 2016/10/20 | Atahualpa | Works as intended. Just use it with your vanilla installation of Morrowind. | |
BSA Unpacker MW | 1.0 | Timeslip | - | 2016/10/03 | Atahualpa | OpenMW does not alter the .bsa format. Hence, modders can simply use this modification to extract files from .bsa files and use them in OpenMW-CS. | |
ESP Cleaner | ? | Horatio | - | 2016/10/03 | Atahualpa | OpenMW does not alter the .esp format. Accordingly, mod creators and players can use this tool to clean .esp files and use them with OpenMW. Please note that OpenMW provides its own file formats ".omwaddon" and ".omwgame" which replace ".esp" and ".esm" respectively for content created with OpenMW-CS. These files do not work with ESP Cleaner. | |
mlox | 0.61 | JohnMoonsugar | - | 2016/10/03 | Atahualpa | You may use this tool to find the optimal load order for your mods on your original Morrowind installation, then, keep your fingers crossed and manually transfer the resulting load order to the OpenMW launcher. | |
Morrowind Code Patch | 2.2 | Hrnchamd Psyringe |
- | 2016/10/03 | Atahualpa | Not compatible with OpenMW; see our MCP Wiki page for further information. | |
Morrowind FPs Optimizer | 1.0 | Alexander Stasenko | - | 2016/10/03 | Atahualpa | This utility only works with the original Morrowind process which makes it incompatible with OpenMW. The possibility to dynamically adjust the rendering quality depending on the FPS is a nice idea though -- and not possible in OpenMW yet. | |
Morrowind Graphics Extender (MGE) | 3.8.0 | LizTail Timeslip |
- | 2016/10/03 | Atahualpa | Not compatible with OpenMW; see our MGE XE Wiki page for further information. | |
Morrowind Graphics Extender XE (MGE XE) | 0.9.10 | Hrnchamd | - | 2016/10/03 | Atahualpa | Not compatible with OpenMW; see our MGE XE Wiki page for further information. | |
Morrowind Mod Manager | 1.0 | Timeslip | - | 2016/10/03 | Atahualpa | You may use this tool to mess around with your original Morrowind installation. However, launching OpenMW via the "Launch Morrowind" button is not possible (obviously) which drastically decreases the program's usability. | |
Morrowind Plugin Manager | 1.2 | DW | - | 2016/10/03 | Atahualpa | You may use this tool to install mods to your original Morrowind installation and make adjustments to your load order and stuff there, finally setting the exact same load order in the OpenMW launcher. However, OpenMW provides its own way of installing mods making it possible to use as many data folders as you want to, while adjusting the load order at will in our launcher. | |
Morrowind Resolution Fixer | 1.0 | DarkWolfModding | - | 2016/10/03 | Atahualpa | Not compatible with OpenMW but our engine provides support for all common screen resolutions anyway. (To be honest, this software doesn't even work with my original Morrowind installation. And messing around with the registry isn't very user-friendly to say the least.) | |
Morrowind Script Extender (MWSE) | 0.94a | AnthonyG Fliggerty |
- | 2016/10/03 | Atahualpa | Not compatible with OpenMW; see our MWSE Wiki page for further information. | |
TES Plugin Tool (TESTool) | 1.0 | ghostwheel | - | 2016/10/03 | Atahualpa | You may use this tool to mess around with your original Morrowind installation. Please note that OpenMW does not support merging leveled lists. | |
TESIniTweaker | 3.5.2 | Moorindal | - | 2016/10/03 | Atahualpa | You may use this tool to adjust the settings in your Morrowind.ini file and, then, import the modified .ini file from within the OpenMW launcher. Please note that doing so may lead to certain settings in your OpenMW settings file getting overwritten. | |
TESPCD | 0.31 | Ely Soto | - | 2016/10/03 | Atahualpa | You may use this tool with unclean or conflicting mods in order to get the issues solved. | |
Wrye Mash | 84 | Wrye | - | 2016/10/03 | Atahualpa | You may use this tool to mess around with your original Morrowind installation. Please note that OpenMW savegames aren't compatible with vanilla ones and, thus, cannot be managed via Wrye Mash. The infamous Doubling Bug doesn't occur in OpenMW. |
Morrowind Script Extender (MWSE)
This utility greatly expands the scripting capabilities of the original Morrowind engine. See our MWSE Wiki page for further information.
Morrowind Graphics Extender (MGE / MGE XE)
These utilities improve Morrowind overall graphical quality, make it possible to control certain graphics settings via scripts, and add several new features to the original engine, e.g., a variety of shaders. See our MGE XE Wiki page for more information.
Morrowind Code Patch (MCP)
This utility fixes a good amount of buggy or poorly-written game mechanics, many engine bugs, and brings a bunch of new (optional) features to vanilla Morrowind. See our MCP Wiki page to learn more.

For the time being, this list keeps track of all OpenMW-exclusive mods available to the public. This section will be moved to a new page when modders' productivity exceeds a certain level (i.e., when there is a decent amount of OpenMW-only content).
