Status indicators

	The mod works as in vanilla Morrowind; there may be a couple of warning messages written to the error log but nothing that affects the mod's functionality.
	Most parts of the mod work as expected. There are (minor) issues though, but nothing with serious impact on gameplay. See the description text for bug references or workarounds.
	There are major problems with this mod which have a noticeable impact on gameplay. These issues should get fixed in the future -- see the description text for bug references or workarounds.
	There have been problems with this mod. Certain bug-fixes or version releases may have fixed some/all issues, but nobody has re-tested the mod yet.
	(Mainly for large mods.) The mod is in active testing. It may take the tester(s) a while to complete their task.
	Due to relying on third-party software, like MWSE or MGE, or because of severe scripting errors the mod isn't compatible with OpenMW. To make it compatible, the mod authors need to fix their mod or clear third-party dependencies. Moreover, some third-party features may have already been implemented in OpenMW -- but don't hope for that!
	The mod hasn't been tested yet; maybe someone plans to do so later.

100% Projectile Store Chance M	1.0	Blaaguuu		OpenMW 0.41.0	2016/12/07	Durisat	Works as intended.
Accurate Attack N	1.0	Jamespb		?	?	?	Should test this mod since it's on the PC Gamer best Morrowind Mods list
AltStart N	3.0	iamnone		OpenMW 0.42	Aug 2017	Loriel	It's on the PC Gamer best Morrowind Mods list. Broken script altstartscript - misnamed npc at line 64 - "Chargen Dock Guard" should be "Chargen Door Guard". Presumably vanilla Morrowind ignores the error.Appears OK after fixing that.
Better Balanced Boots of Blinding Speed N	1.0	Pherim		?	?	?	Should test this mod since it's on Tomorrowind 2016.
Birthsigns Are More Fun N  (BAMF)	1.0	Alaisiagae		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/11/16	Steve Odom	No issues found. No console output.
Boots of Blinding Speed Tweak N	1.0	Bugajue98		?	?	?	Should test this mod since it's on Tomorrowind 2016.
BTB's Game Improvements M	14.1	BTB		?	?	?	Should test this mod since it's on Tomorrowind 2016.

Enhanced Economics N	2.1	Crankgorilla		OpenMW 0.35.0	n.a.	<unknown>	Some weapons appear textureless, works fine otherwise.
Fair Magicka Regen M	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 the mana_regen script's float PcMagicka is followed by a semicolon instead of colon (should be in line 26 or 27). Then the mod 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.
Linora's Leveling Mod N	1.0	Linora		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/11/16	Steve Odom	Works as intended; no console outputs. Tested levelling up and works as intented.
Madd Leveler	1.0	Madd Mugsy		OpenMW 0.42	Aug 2017	Loriel	On the PC Gamer best Morrowind Mods list and Tomorrowind 2016 Appears to work without problems - but see ncgd by Greywander at https://forum.openmw.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=4339 for an alternative.
Merri's Character Development M	1.12	Merranvo		OpenMW 0.39.0	n.a.	Hallfaer	Game hangs on first skill level-up, spamming skill increases indefinitely. Error in console: Error in framelistener: boost::too_many_args: format-string referred to less arguments than were passed
Natural Healing M	1.0	Smoke		OpenMW 0.41.0	2017/03/04	Jirka642	Syntax error in _bsp_hregen script stops it from compiling.
Necessities of Morrowind M	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.

Thieves Step N	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.
