Morrowind Modding Legacy - The Official Home of the Modjams

(Not for sale, for my own joy and happiness) Made my own little Dagoth-ur because finding Morrowind merch is like getting ur nuts slammed

(ps. Yes its the "fanon" design cause I like the hair.)

Featuring my lvl 61 Dunmer Spellsword Valderyn.

I've been starting and restarting Morrowind since 2019, but never quite managed to finish a full playthrough.

Finally committed to it this year and went all-in with a full completionist run. Had a blast from start to finish!

Truly TES at its peak :,)

Grew up with Skyrim, prob have thousands of hours since release. Loved oblivion remastered. Had put off playing Morrowind since i like controller support so I can dock my steamdeck and play while I hangout with my gf. I finally modded controller support and started a vanilla OpenMW playthrough.

Guys. I’m having a borderline religious experience. My god. I don’t know if I’ve ever played a game so profoundly sauced.

I have no one to talk to about this. How is this a quarter of a century old??

But this time I have thwarted Reddit's awful compression (I think)

Hello again! So this is my fifth mod, and I think it's the one with the most potential. It's called Odd Jobs and Guild Work. (BETA) Excited to start work on a framework for custom jobs/open world dynamic events.

https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/60635

A lot of the jobs happen out in the open world. Take one and the mod builds the scene for you, like smugglers landing on a beach at night or bandits holding up a road. When you're done it all gets cleaned up and the world goes back to normal.

I made it to give you another reason to wander. Morrowind is full of caves, ruins and little spots you walk right past, and I wanted notices that point you toward them and turn the trip into a small story. None of the jobs touch quest locations, so they're safe to take, and a lot of them send you places you probably missed on your playthrough. Work for the guilds also builds a bit of reputation with them, so it feels like you're actually part of things.

Notices get pinned on the outside walls of taverns, guild halls, Legion forts, East Empire Company offices and village inns. Nothing is hand placed. The mod finds real buildings, picks a wall by the door and pins the papers there, so it works across Vvardenfell and TR without me patching every cell. Click one and you get the board. Every paper looks like whoever posted it. A farmer's note is a stained scrap, the Fighters Guild has its own paper and seal, and the Legion posts proper orders. Take a job and its paper comes off the wall.

How the jobs work:

- enemies only show up after you take the contract. walk through a cave without the job and it's exactly how it normally is

- when you get there, the mod builds that job's group or open world scene right then. when you finish, drop it or let it expire, everything it added gets cleaned up. no leftover bodies and no permanent bandit camps from jobs you skipped

- some stuff only happens under the right conditions. smugglers and rituals come out at night, wreckage washes up after rain, and different regions post different trouble

- jobs don't scale to your level. each one shows its difficulty on the notice, one to four daggers. easy and normal stay fair for a modest character, dangerous gets you a named leader with backup, and elite is rare, only posted at big city guild halls, and a real fight

Kinds of work so far:

- clear out a cave, mine, ruin or tomb

- bring something back. sometimes it's in a chest, sometimes it's just sitting on a shelf and you have to look around (Detect spells can be useful here)

- bounties on named leaders, bring back their signet

- places you already cleared can get new tenants, and a champion you let go might come back tougher

- open world jobs: a wrecked cart missing its strongbox, bandits stopping people on the road, a beast taking herds, a lost guar you walk home, a smuggler drop on the beach at night, a ritual on a hill you have to stop in time, a stolen tax wagon, pirates holding a cove and more

- goods wanted. the Fighters Guild wants arrows and armour, the Mages Guild wants ingredients and soul gems with a specific soul in them, Legion forts put in supply orders. East Empire Company after bulk and rare goods, they pay the full value plus a bit, not the cut a merchant gives you

Jobs can take a turn too. A leader might surrender and offer you gold, a note might show the poster lied about who owns the thing, another adventurer might beat you there, or a letter on a leader points to another hideout and a follow up job goes up on the board.

Every system has its own toggle, so if you don't like something/buggy you can just switch it off. You can even set how exact the directions are, all the way down to nothing but what the notice says if you'd rather find it yourself.

The open world events are what I'm most excited about going forward. Down the road I want to release the core as a framework, so other modders can make their own jobs and events and just let it handle the spawning and cleanup.

It's still a beta. I'd try it on a new save or one you don't mind messing up, not your main character. If something breaks or a fight feels way off for its difficulty, tell me which job and where, that helps a ton. Also bind a key for the contract log in Options > Scripts > Odd Jobs, it doesn't have one by default.

Needs OpenMW 0.51, Tamriel Rebuilt, Tamriel Data and UIToolkit. Economy Plus is optional, if you have it the goods orders use its prices.

Not emulation or streaming, this is an actual conversion of every file in morrowind into one processable on the old 3ds. i’m working on fixing an audio bug and getting the fps up. it’s currently hitting around 20. Disclamer: I did not create the process, i followed an in progress repo on github, and fixed small bugs as I went.

I know about the "ra" command to reset position, but as long as an NPC doesn't block a passage or is about to drown, I will let them move.

I mean, I love the game, the atmosphere, the music, the visual art style, the immersion and that weird unexplainable janky charm that Windows XP-era RPGs had… but at the same time, sometimes the old-school clunky design makes me a little bit frustrated and angry, but not that much, but I feel like despite the jank that can sometimes be frustrating , it’s still worth playing the game. Am I the only one who feels like this?

Spells should be bugged for infinite amount of worktime obv.

Hi everyone. I first played Morrowind as a kid without knowing any English. The game looked amazing to me but i never knew what should i actually do there. 15 years later i did the main quest and all i can say is that i am very touched and impressed by the lore. The most interesting part was the social structure of the world, and here come my questions for you ppl:

What do you think about a level of corruption in Morrowind?

What are you thoughts about Nerevar - is he a good or a bad person.

Is it ok to kill, steal and bribe everyone in order to achieve a noble goal or fight the evil?

Cheers! 🍺

It took my way too long to realize the JN syndicate was just jabbas crime ring, complete with desert dome palace, orc/gamorrean guards, a basement rancor, and obviously a slug crime boss. It wasn't until I was walking out of the building that it dawned on me that I just became Luke and destroyed this crime syndicate.

Some Missing meshes here and there and seeing large square exclamation marks is very immersion breaking and annoying to look at

Hey yall so im playing with TR for the first time and im running a mage build and I wanted to know which quest lines would be good to start out with? I know the obvious thing would be to start with old eboenhearts mage guild but is there any other options to start with? Fun quest recommendations in general would also be appreciated thanks

I just spent 2 hours in the construction kit making some basic ass race mod just for the thing to tell me "nuh uh you can't save anymore this file is being used" and like... sure ok guess I'll just make a new file? But then later on I saved to the old file since I couldn't save to the new one cuz now the tool was using it and when I loaded it back my entire mod was gone. But yeah sure I just loaded back the other one and... half of my mod was gone?? And not like it undid my progress that I didn't save. All the custom spells and the custom race I had made were just completely gone and the only thing left where the models I made and put into the game for the new race.

Genuinelly how tf can people make shit like Tamriel Rebuilt and Project Tamriel I've only spent 2 hours with this engine and I already got screwed over in 3 different ways ;w;
