-Morrowind Mods (such as .esm/.esp plugins, texture replacers, mesh replacers, ...) can be installed and used just like in vanilla Morrowind. However, there is an interesting OpenMW-only feature that deserves explanation:

-'''Multiple Data Folders'''
+[[Category:Modding]]
+[[Category:Installation]]
-OpenMW supports the use of multiple data folders. The first data folder is typically your Morrowind Data Files folder. Additional data folders can be added by editing openmw.cfg (TODO: add link to Paths page). This provides a very easy way to install and uninstall mods:
-* To install the mod, create a data folder for the mod and add its path to openmw.cfg
-* To uninstall the mod, simply remove the folder from openmw.cfg
-The main advantage to this method is that mods coming with loose files are much easier to organize: if you had simply dumped such mods in your Morrowind Data Files, then file conflicts (e.g. the same Mesh / Texture file being overridden by multiple mods) are much more difficult to handle - files must be merged manually and uninstallation is extremely tedious.
-When using multiple data folders, the ''priority'' of each mod can simply be changed by moving its data= line in openmw.cfg to a different place. The last data= line has the highest priority.
