See Mod installation for how to add mods to OpenMW. Some individual users also have testing-in-progress notes about more mods, e.g. here.

Introduction

Once you have played through unmodded Morrowind and its expansions, you probably want to add some spice to your next playthrough: thousands of modifications (mods) are available to enhance the overall gameplay, adjust the game mechanics to your tastes, or simply improve the graphics 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 may 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:

Table 1. 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.

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.

If you want to test Morrowind mods in OpenMW but don't know how to start, check out our Mod testing guidelines page. 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.

Mod Info				Test Info
Name	Version	Author	Status [?]	Test Version	Test Date	Tester(s)	Comments
Acheron's Camping Gear	2.0	Acheron		OpenMW 0.41.0	2017/02/21	Arashi Aganawa	Works fine, however there are several console outputs about unknown variables, and one involving a local script being added twice, but it seems to have no effect on the mod what so ever.
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.
Akavirian Armor	1.0	Ronin		OpenMW 0.41.0	2017/02/21	Arashi Aganawa	Mostly works, however there is an issue with the scout boots that makes them appear further down your legs, causing a gap between the boots and your legs. furthermore the new npc (a new race to boot) seems fine at first, but if he is killed, his mesh becomes distorted and his tail flips upside down so you can see into the back of his tail. Not sure if I worded that right. There is some console output: RigGeometry did not find bone bip 01 tail. There are several of these instances and each ends in some number after tail.
Alladin's Bottle Revamp	1.1	Kiteflyer61 updated by Tarius		OpenMW 0.41.0	2017/01/22	Durisat	Works as intended.
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.
AOF Potions Recolored	1.11	Bycote		OpenMW 0.41.0	2016/12/25	Frik	Works as intended; no console outputs. Unlike BTB's Sorted New Alchemy Potions, with this mod, you get the updated AOF potion graphics, while maintaining the alchemy values of vanilla Morrowind.
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.
Ascadian Isles Reloaded (AI_Reloaded)	1.0	Lestat DeLioncourt		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/19	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs.
Ascadian Isles Tree Replacer II	1.01	vurt		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/28	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.
Azura Coast Reloaded (AC_Reloaded)	1.0	Lestat DeLioncourt		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/19	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs.
Azuras Coast and Sheogorath - Grassmod	1.4	Muspila		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/21	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs.
Balmora Balconyhouse	1.0	Ravensong		OpenMW 0.33.0	n.a.	<unknown>	No problems found.
Balmora Mod	1.0	Vality		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/21	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs.
Better Soul Gems	1.0	Jericho Lokichan		OpenMW 0.39.0	n.a.	Durisat	Non-adapted version works as intended, did not test the adapted version.
Birthsigns Are More Fun (BAMF)	1.0	Alaisiagae		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/11/16	Steve Odom	No issues found. No console output.
Bitter Coast	1.0	SpewBoy		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/19	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs.
Bitter Coast addon and Balmora addon for use with Vurt's Bitter Coast Trees	1.0	Knots		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/28	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs.
Bitter Coast Mod	4.0	Vality		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/21	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs.
Bitter Coast Reloaded (BC_Reloaded)	1.1	Lestat DeLioncourt		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/19	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs.
Bitter Coast Retexture	1.0	Apel		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/19	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs.
Bitter Coast Trees	0.9	vurt		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/14	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs.
Bitter Coast Trees II	1.01	vurt		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/14	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs. The test included the optional tree mesh without hanging moss.
Black Panther	n.a.	AlienSlof		OpenMW 0.34.0	n.a.	<unknown>	No problems found.
Blight Bounties	1.01	<unknown>		OpenMW 0.36.1	n.a.	Loriel	Works the same as in vanilla Morrowind.
Book Jackets	1.0	Daleth		OpenMW 0.41.0	2017/02/22	Arashi Aganawa	Works fine, no console output.
Book Rotate	5.3	Cydine Maboroshi Daikon		OpenMW 0.39.0	n.a.	Durisat	Works as intended.
Books of Vvardenfell	2.41	Stuporstar (<unknown>)		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		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
Chalk	3.1	ManaUser		OpenMW 0.41.0	2017/03/01	Arashi Aganawa	Works as intended, no console output, however it does change some leveled lists, and OpenMW doesn't merge leveled lists yet.
CharGen Revamped	2.3.2	Mitokandria		OpenMW 0.38.0	n.a.	Natalie	Works perfectly.
Children of Morrowind	2.0	Emma		OpenMW 0.41.0	n.a.	Arashi Aganawa and <unknown>	Seems to work fine so far, however there is console output about missing animations and bones.
Clear Your Name	1.0	Lucevar		OpenMW 0.36.1	n.a.	Slissith	Although the mod appears to work as intended at first, 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.
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.
Daedric Signposts	1.0	Nazz		OpenMW 0.36.0	n.a.	<unknown>	Works 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.
Dwemeri Dominion	1.0	Aeven		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.
Enhanced Economics	2.1	Crankgorilla		OpenMW 0.35.0	n.a.	<unknown>	Some weapons appear textureless, works fine otherwise.
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 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.
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.
Graphic Herbalism - Mining	1.3a	ManaUser		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/20	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs.
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.
Herbalism for Purists	1.22	Syclonix		OpenMW 0.38.0	n.a.	<unknown>	Works the same as in vanilla.
Hospitality Papers	1.0	quorn		OpenMW 0.35.1	n.a.	Cramal	Works the same as in vanilla Morrowind.
Imperial Airship	2.1	Xan		OpenMW 0.41.0	2017/02/20	Elderking1986	Works fine. No issues.
Imperial Guards Anticlone	1.0	TheLys		OpenMW 0.36.0	n.a.	asmo	Only works for regions that the player did not visit yet.
Imperial Presence	1.14	cml33		OpenMW 0.36.1	n.a.	Slissith	Works as intended.
Improved Water Shader for MGE 3-8	0.6b	phal		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/20	Atahualpa	Requires MGE; will never work with OpenMW.
Interior Weather	1.0	Kirel		OpenMW 0.36.1	n.a.	<unknown>	Does nothing because a script fails to compile.
Less Generic NPCs Project	n.a.	Cyrano Dark Master and more		OpenMW 0.37.0	n.a.	Amenophis Tinker	Extra dialogue and backstories work as expected. Some issues with quests related to Bug 1465. Note that not all side quests tested yet.
Levelups	n.a.	Illuminiel		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/21	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs.
Linora's Leveling Mod	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.
Living Cities of Vvardenfell	3.13	Helios Wrye		OpenMW 0.35.0	n.a.	<unknown>	Contains one script error, error script SC_Balmora1_3, line 138, column 40 (i71): Unexpected name. Nobody seems to operate on a schedule, no doors are locked at night (that are open in the day) and no more guards are on patrol.
Mage's Guild Quarters	1.0	Vals_Fan		OpenMW 0.40.0	n.a.	<unknown>	Works as intended.
Magic Diversity	1.0	Arkann		OpenMW 0.35.0	n.a.	<unknown>	Works as intended.
Magic Icon Border (icon replacer)	2.0	Marbred		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/21	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs. All textures have been tested.
Map Deluxe (Quest version and non-quest version)	1.0	ManaUser		OpenMW 0.41.0	2017/02/03	Arashi Aganawa	Works as intended. Both versions seem to work fine with no issues.
Max's Glow	1.0	Max Shawabkeh (Max a.k.a. ~NOOBDY~)		OpenMW 0.41.0	2017/07/05	TimMB	Works as intended; no console outputs. No glow magic item glow replacer. Looks great a huge improvement over vanilla Morrowind.
Merri's Character Development	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
MoonStar Crosshair	1.0	Leatherpoker		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/21	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs. First successful test with OpenMW 0.36.0 by asmo.
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's Altered Beautiful Clothes	1.2	DANTHEMANACKER		OpenMW 0.41.0	2016/12/26	Frik	Works as intended; no console outputs. Includes Low-Res & Hi-Res Versions. Hi-Res is preferable.
Morrowind Animation Replacer	0.1.7	Dirnae Hrnchamd		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/20	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs.
Morrowind Comes Alive	8.2	Neoptolemus		OpenMW 0.35.1	n.a.	Tinker	OpenCS report various problems. Bug 2180 is fixed in 0.34 although other issues discussed may still are valid, mainly missing data in the mod, giving hundreds of validation errors, also conflicts with CharGen Revamped mod causing character generation to happen twice.
Morrowind Containers Animated	1.2	qqqbbb		OpenMW 0.35.0	n.a.	<unknown>	Everything works without issues.
Morrowind Crafting fixed Version	2.1	Tocatta		OpenMW 0.35.0	n.a.	Tinker	New version supplied by Tocatta, with fixed scripts. Tester - Tinker Getting an infinite loop when trying to mine while on 0.37 Dev Revision 681cbaf0. Tester - NtM
Multiple Teleport Marking	2.2	hessi9		OpenMW 0.40.0	n.a.	<unknown>	Does not appear to work at all. See these threads for some investigation.
Natural Healing	1.0	Smoke		OpenMW 0.41.0	2017/03/04	Jirka642	Syntax error in _bsp_hregen script stops it from compiling.
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 our forums for more information.
Pegas Horse Ranch	3.1	MadMax		OpenMW 0.41.0	2017/02/21	Elderking1986	Works mostly as intended; does show a few errors in openmw.log but it seems to work as it did in vanilla Morrowind except for one thing. While you are riding your horse, the horse has a collision detection problem, causing it to fall through terrain and travel on the water level.
Pluginless NoGlow	1.0	Plangkye		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/21	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs.
Racer Recursion	1.0	Satan Trainwiz		OpenMW 0.34.0	n.a.	<unknown>	Seems to work as intended. Occasionally shows "Lolmoreracers" message without any cliff racers multiplying in sight.
Races Are More Fun (RAMF)	0.5	Alaisiagae		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/11/16	Steve Odom	No issues found, night eye and water breathing toggle works fine. No console output.
Redoran Door Fix	1.0	Mudcrab Merchant		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/06	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs. Please note that this does not fix anything regarding the Redoran Stronghold but rather changes the doors of the Redoran Council Hall in Under-Skar, Ald'ruhn.
Ring of weightless touch	1.0	Delophreaus		OpenMW 0.39.0	n.a.	Durisat	Works as intended.
Seyda Neen Expanded	1.0	Strider		OpenMW 0.40.0	n.a.	<unknown>	Seems to work as intended. No obvious issues
Seyda Neen Shack	1.0	Baratheon79		OpenMW 0.40.0	n.a.	<unknown>	Works as intended.
Ship Masters of Solstheim	1.1	Frik		OpenMW 0.41.0	2016/12/31	Frik	Works as intended; no console outputs.
Shrines - Restore Health and Cancel Options	1.0	Skrawafunda		OpenMW 0.35.1	n.a.	Tinker	All functions appear to work as expected.
Silt Striders	1.16	abot		OpenMW 0.41.0	2016/12/26	Amenophis	Mostly works. Has problems with animations (Striders legs don't move while travelling) and collision detection (Striders fall through terrain and travel on the water level).
Silt Strider Armor	1.75	Melchior Dahrk		OpenMW 0.41.0	2017/02/23	Arashi Aganawa	Works as intended. When you have the shield from the cavern of the incarnate, it seems to show up black on the "paper doll" in the inventory screen, but appears fine when you see yourself in third person, or see it while in first. Weapons tested as well, they work fine, and the guards spawn with both unecnanted and enchanted versions as they should (they have one or the other, not both).
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.
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 Rumour Fix	1.0	Illuminiel		OpenMW 0.35.1	n.a.	Cramal	No problems found. Works the same as in vanilla Morrowind.
Solstheim Winter Home	1.0	PRP		OpenMW 0.41.0	2016/12/26	Frik	Works as intended; no console outputs.
Speechcraft Rebalance	1.0	Androl		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/11/21	Steve Odom	Works as intended; no console outputs.
State-Based HP Mod	2.2	HotFusion Talrivian		OpenMW 0.35.1	n.a.	Cramal	Works exactly as intended.
Tamriel Rebuilt	16.03	Tamriel Rebuilt Team		OpenMW 0.35.0	n.a.	Tinker	Mostly working as expected. Preview sections have not been tested in OpenMW, users are advised to check the Tamriel Rebuilt site for details of progress.
The Clockwork City	1.0	Aeven		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/06	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs.
The Counting Plume	1.0	Trainwiz		OpenMW 0.35.1	n.a.	<unknown>	Seems to work as expected.
The Lighting Mod (TLM) (Complete version)	1.0	Sensei		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/21	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.
[links The White Wolf Of The Lokken Mountain]	2.1	Emma		OpenMW 0.41.0	n.a.	TimMB	Had a number of scripting errors and minor issues. I corrected the issues I found in openMW-CS and am testing now. Will provide omwaddon if anyone is interested in testing it.
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.
Thieves Step - Better Sounds Version	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.
Trelain's Basement	1.0	Trelaine		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/12/18	Trelaine	No errors discovered. Lots of testing.
Tribunal Delayed	1.0	Cine		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/11/10	Steve Odom	Seems to be working fine. No console outputs.
True Flame Script Fix (Fix #17)	n.a.	Amenophis		OpenMW 0.41	2016/12/26	Frik	Works as intended; no console outputs.
True Lights and Darkness	1.1	Booze Cool Demon		OpenMW 0.40.0	2016/10/20	Atahualpa	Works as intended; no console outputs.
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.
Uncle Sweet's Cellar	1.4	Frik		OpenMW 0.41.0	2016/12/26	Frik	Works as intended; no console outputs.
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.
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.
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?	1.18	abot		OpenMW 0.41.0	2017/1/15	GameEnder	Flying creatures spawn correctly, but they follow ground NPC path nodes instead of staying in the air.

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 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 (specifically the type called normal maps) which renders the hacky MGE version obsolete anyway.

Our member lysol has created a tutorial on how to get rid of these shiny textures in OpenMW.

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 a.k.a. 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 (hover over icons to see their meanings).

Mod Info				Test Info
Name	Version	Author	Status [?]	Test Version	Test Date	Tester(s)	Comments
Animation Kit	2.1	LizTail		OpenMW 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 Enhanced	1.6	aerelorn		-	2017/6/20	Thunderforge	Not compatible with OpenMW; designed to only work alongside vanilla Morrowind.exe
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.

OpenMW-exclusive mods

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).
