Working Status of existing Morrowind Mods
Once you have played through the basic Morrowind you will probably want to start adding some of the hundreds of mods so you enhance parts of game play to suit your style or just improve the look and variety in the game. This page is a list of mods and their status in regards to running on the OpenMW engine.
What the status symbols mean:
 | Works as in vanilla, there may be a couple of warning messages written to the error log but nothing that affects the function. |
 | Currently some or most of the mod works as expected but there are issues, see the description text for bug references or work arounds. |
 | Not working yet, the description text should explain why and which bugs affect the mod. |
 | Needs retesting following bug fixes and code updates. |
 | This mod is not expected to ever work in OpenMW due to major errors in the mod or it using functions that are not available. |
For installing mods check the tutorial section for the OpenMW improved Mod installation method
Anyone who is a member of the wiki group can add details of mods they have tested, see the forum user control panel to get access.
| Mod name | Status | Download url | Description | OpenMW version |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abot's birds | | Nexus | Runs almost flawlessly. There are warnings in log which may be safely ignored about failures to find idle animations for some added creatures. Tester — Amenophis | 0.37.0 |
| Abot's Silt Striders | | Nexus | Should work without issues, needs testing; the necessary function was implemented with pull request #991 merging. | 0.40.0 |
| Abot's Water Life | | Nexus | 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. Tester — Tinker | 0.35.0 |
| Adamantium Armor | | UESP | No problems, works as in vanilla Morrowind. Tester - Cramal | 0.35.1 |
| Advanced Herbalism | | Nexus | 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. Tester — Tinker | 0.34.0 |
| Animal Realism | | Nexus | No problems, works as in vanilla Morrowind. Tester — Cramal | 0.35.1 |
| Animated Morrowind - Expanded | | Mod History | 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. Tester — Tinker | 0.35.0 |
| Apel's Fire Retexture | | Nexus | Works as intended. Uses "NiFogProperty" which is not implemented yet. | 0.35.0 |
| Assassin Ambush | | Nexus | Assassins are occasionally stuck within walls or doors. Sometimes rogues do not initiate combat. Otherwise the mod appears to work as intended. | 0.35.1 |
| Balmora Balcony House | | Nexus | No problems found. | 0.33.0 |
| Better Beasts v1.2 by AlienSlof | | LadyMoiraine | Works as expected. Tester — asmo | 0.36.1 |
| Better Bodies | | Nexus v2.2v2.4 | No problems found in both versions. Tester — asmo | 0.37.0 |
| Better Heads v2.0 | | Mod History | Works as intended. Tester — asmo | 0.35.1 |
| Better Heads Argonians Playable Heads Pack v1.1 | | Mod History | Works as intended. Tester — asmo | 0.35.1 |
| Bitter Coast Sounds | | UESP | No problems found, works as in vanilla Morrowind. Tester — Cramal | 0.35.1 |
| Blight Bounties | | Author's site | Works the same as in vanilla Morrowind. Tester — Loriel | 0.36.1 |
| Books of Vvardenfell | | Fliggerty | Everything seems to work as expected though some books do have slightly different titles in the inventory than those in the books. Testers — PoorYorec, Tinker | 0.34.0 |
| Black Panther | | Author's website | No problems found. | 0.34.0 |
| BTB's Sorted New Alchemy Potions | | Mod History | Using the esp for AOF style potions and the meshes, textures, icons for vanilla style potions, the mod works perfectly | 0.33.0 |
| CharGen Revamped | | Nexus Mods | Works perfectly. Tester — Natalie | 0.38.0 |
| Children of Morrowind | | Author's website | Previous tester had incorrect testing environment; needs testing. | 0.35.1 |
| Clear Your Name | | Nexus | 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. Tester — Slissith | 0.36.1 |
| Creatures | | Nexus | Should be issue-free since 0.35.0 version. | 0.35.0 |
| Daedric Signposts v2 by Nazz | | ModHistory | Works as intended. | 0.36.0 |
| Deus Ex Machina - A Steampunkyish Mod | | Nexus | 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. | 0.35.0 |
| Dynamic Morrowind Towns | | Nexus | Causes a massive performance drop, although the mod itself appears to work as intended. | 0.35.0 |
| Enhanced Economics | | Nexus | Some weapons appear textureless, works fine otherwise. | 0.35.0 |
| Entertainers | | UESP | No problems found, works as in vanilla Morrowind. Tester - Cramal | 0.35.1 |
| Fair Magicka Regen | | Mod History | 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. Tester - Tinker | 0.37.0 |
| Galsiah's Character Development | | ModDB | 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 reduces your current Magicka proportional to how far below max it was. Often empties your Magicka when your Intelligence goes up during a fight. Drain Magicka multiplies 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. - Tester Hallfaer | 0.39.0 |

| Morrowind Comes Alive | | Nexus | OpenCS report various problems.

| Skyrim UI Overhaul | | Nexus | Works the same as in vanilla Morrowind. | 0.35.0 |

Version 1.1 released January 2015 fixes many problems, and Abot's esp fixes most major problems. Tester - Tinker | 0.35.0 |
| Uvirith's Legacy | | Fliggerty | 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.

| Windows Glow Expansion v1.1 | | Mod History | The info here is very outdated and applies to 0.34.0 (December 2014) version only. Testing on more current version is desired.
