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 the goal to provide compatibility to 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.

How to read this page

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:

Table 1. Status Symbols
Works fine.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.
Minor issues.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.
Currently broken.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.
Needs re-testing.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.
Currently being tested.(Mainly for large mods.) The mod is in active testing. It may take the tester(s) a while to complete their task.
Will never work with OpenMW.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!
Not tested yet.The mod hasn't been tested yet; maybe someone plans to do so later.

Mod Installation

OpenMW uses a more flexible method for installing mods. Check out our Mod installation Wiki page here.

Mod Sources

The OpenMW team does not provide any mods or external mod tools. However, there are a couple of great mod libraries for TES III: Morrowind (this list is not exhaustive):

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.

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.

List of Catalogued Mods

Table 3. List of Catalogued Mods
Mod Info Test Info
Name Version Author Status Test Version Test Date Tester(s) Comments
Adamantium Armor 1.0 Bethesda Softworks Works fine. 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
Needs re-testing. 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 Works fine. 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> Works fine. OpenMW 0.35.1 n.a. Cramal No problems, works as in vanilla Morrowind.
Animated Morrowind - Expanded n.a. Arcimaestro Antares
Vikart
Spirithawke
Minor issues. 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
Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/20 Atahualpa Works as intended; no console outputs.
Area Effect Arrows 1.0 Bethesda Softworks Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/30 Atahualpa Works as intended; no console outputs.
Ascadian Isles Mod 2.0 Vality Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/21 Atahualpa Works as intended; no console outputs.
Ascadian Isles Mod 2.4a vurt Currently broken. 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 Minor issues. 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.
Ascadian Isles Reloaded
(AI_Reloaded)
1.0 Lestat DeLioncourt Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/19 Atahualpa Works as intended; no console outputs.
Ascadian Isles Tree Replacer II 1.01 vurt Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/28 Atahualpa Works as intended; no console outputs.
Ashlands Overhaul 1.2 vurt Minor issues. 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 Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/19 Atahualpa Works as intended; no console outputs.
Assassin Ambush 2.5 hollaajith Minor issues. 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.

(sic!)
2.0 Apel Works fine. 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.

(AC_Reloaded)
1.0 Lestat DeLioncourt Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/19 Atahualpa Works as intended; no console outputs.

Better Glow 1.2 Tapani_doe Works fine. 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.

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

Books of Vvardenfell 2.41 Stuporstar (<unknown>) Works fine. OpenMW 0.34.0 n.a. PoorYorec
Tinker
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 Works fine. 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 Works fine. OpenMW 0.38.0 n.a. Natalie Works perfectly.
Children of Morrowind 2.0 Emma Needs re-testing. OpenMW 0.35.1 n.a. <unknown> Previous tester had incorrect testing environment; needs testing.
Clear Your Name 1.0 Lucevar Minor issues. 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 Minor issues. 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 Works fine. 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 Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/21 Atahualpa Works as intended; no console outputs.
Compass 1.0 Marbred Works fine. 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
Currently broken. 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 Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/21 Atahualpa Works as intended; no console outputs.
Creatorium Part 1 - Waters and Shores 1.0 R-Zero Works fine. OpenMW 0.35.0 n.a. <unknown> Appears to work as intended.
Creatures XI Piratelord Works fine. OpenMW 0.35.0 n.a. <unknown> Should be issue-free since 0.35.0 version.
Daedric Signposts 1.0 Nazz Works fine. OpenMW 0.36.0 n.a. <unknown> Works as intended.
Dagoth Gares Voice Addon 1.1 Skydiver
Tyana Rie
Works fine. 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
Currently broken. 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.

Dark Interface 2.0 Sir Bob Currently broken. 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.

The optional splash screens work as intended.
Deus Ex Machina - A Steampunkyish Mod 3.6 Trainwiz Currently broken. 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 Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/06 Atahualpa Works as intended; no console outputs.
Dwemeri Dominion 1.0 Aeven Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/06 Atahualpa Works as intended; no console outputs.
Dynamic MGE Water 1.0 Solidfire Will never work with OpenMW. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/20 Atahualpa Requires MGE; will never work with OpenMW.
Dynamic Morrowind Towns 7.0 Skibidyboparoobopadopa Works fine. 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 Will never work with OpenMW. 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 Minor issues. OpenMW 0.35.0 n.a. <unknown> Some weapons appear textureless, works fine otherwise.
Entertainers 1.0 Bethesda Softworks Works fine. 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 Works fine. 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 Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/20 Atahualpa Works as intended; no console outputs.
Extreme Textures: Menu 1.0 Masoxx Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/20 Atahualpa Works as intended; no console outputs.
Fair Magicka Regen 2.0b Smoke Currently broken. 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 Works fine. 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 Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/06 Atahualpa Works as intended; no console outputs.
Freed Slaves Counter 2.0 mjr162006 Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 n.a. Durisat Works as intended.
Galsiah's Character Development 1.07c Galsiah Needs re-testing. 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> Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 n.a. Durisat Works as intended.
Gold Weight 1.01 Tejón Works fine. 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 Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/19 Atahualpa Works as intended; no console outputs.
Graphic Herbalism 1.3a ManaUser Works fine. 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 Works fine. 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.
Graphic Herbalism - Mining 1.3a ManaUser Works fine. OpenMW 0.40.0 2016/10/20 Atahualpa Works as intended; no console outputs.
Grass Replacer for Morrowind Grass Mod 1.0 Shade the Bandit Works fine. 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 Works fine. 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 Works fine. 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)

Currently broken. 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.

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.

Widescreen Alaisiagae Splash Screens 1.0 Yingerman Currently broken. 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.

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 symbols is a bit different compared to the other lists.

ESP Cleaner ? Horatio Usable. - 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 Not recommended. - 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
Will never work with OpenMW. - 2016/10/03 Atahualpa Not compatible with OpenMW; see our MCP Wiki page for further information.
Morrowind FPs Optimizer 1.0 Alexander Stasenko Will never work with OpenMW. - 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
Will never work with OpenMW. - 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 Will never work with OpenMW. - 2016/10/03 Atahualpa Not compatible with OpenMW; see our MGE XE Wiki page for further information.
Morrowind Mod Manager 1.0 Timeslip Almost useless. - 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 Not recommended. - 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 Will never work with OpenMW. - 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
Will never work with OpenMW. - 2016/10/03 Atahualpa Not compatible with OpenMW; see our MWSE Wiki page for further information.
TES Plugin Tool (TESTool) 1.0 ghostwheel Almost useless. - 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 Not recommended. - 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 Usable. - 2016/10/03 Atahualpa You may use this tool with unclean or conflicting mods in order to get the issues solved.
Wyre Mash 84 Wyre Almost useless. - 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 Wyre 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.
