I uninstalled LGNPC for the same reasons you want to and everything worked fine. I might have even had one of its stupid quests active. (But yes, use Wrye Mash.)

After doing some more research I'm wondering if a conflicting CODEC is my issue. I never had this kind of trouble until I tried to adjust the game's screen resolution; would changing that activate CODEC problems? Again, the symptoms are a CTD upon startup with no error messages or logs I can find to tell me what went wrong. The game never gets to the point where music plays or the title screen is visible. This is the first I've heard of video CODECs and their potential issues with each other, so I don't know where to start.

What happens when you do a fresh install with just mgso?

After some more experimentation, it seems like I only experience this CTD problem while in fullscreen mode. Windowed mode appears to work alright. Just what might cause this? I really would prefer to get access to fullscreen mode back.

Pretty much the only way to determine cause is process of elimination. Start from a fresh install. Install mods 1 by 1, keep changing things to make the new install more like the old one. When you reproduce the error, you've found the cause. Edit: also, are you changing resolution in the Morrowind launcher or mgso? Mooktastical fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Jun 7, 2014 |

I changed it via the launcher when it broke. Trying to change the resolution afterwards in MGSO didn't seem to solve any problems. Should I only alter it in the future via MGSO? I was hoping to avoid reinstallation, but I guess that's what it's come to. Since Morrowind is extra finicky about installation, do I need to know anything special about performing a clean uninstallation?

When I had problems with resolution(no crashes though so not the same situation) I had to change the resolution options in the registry files using regedit.

You should only alter resolution through MGSO. Although, I recently was told by Hrnchamd that it didn't apply code patch settings correctly, and to use the code patch exe instead, so it's possible that the same thing is true for MGE, so you might try using that exe instead. Anyway, when I'm doing big stuff like a clean install, I always copy the whole folder so I have a blueprint on how to rebuild it, and can possibly restore it to a working state once I have a better understanding of the cause. Edit: install everything to a new spot, run the mgso installer in the clean install, backup your old Morrowind.ini, copy over the new ini to the old folder, alter it to have the same bsa section as the old ini, then try to run your old Morrowind.

It may be the only time I actually shouted in terror playing a video game. That loving bug managed to make the game a billion times more frightening totally by accident.

While the forums were dead, TR said a thing about the future of the project: "A Statement of Vision" TLDR: exactly what they said they were doing that was posted two pages back, but even more in depth, that they're no longer shying away from editing vanilla content to create a more 'immersive' narrative. Here's one of the more surprising elements: quote:Mournhold as depicted in Tribunal will not be a part of Tamriel Rebuilt's final product. We intend to re-implement its content in time in the main world space, but not in an identical arrangement to its depiction in Tribunal. While Tribunal functioned as a stand-alone world space, it does not meet the needs of our project. There are other posts stating that the most extensive changes will probably be to the Great Houses.

I don't know, there's an idea floating around on their forums where the Telvanni mouths are, in fact, completely mind-controlled by their Patrons at all times so that their original identity is wiped out and they exist solely as an extension of their patron. Now, I'm not against a little weirdness, but that bit of lore fits absolutely nothing and is just... 'wtf'. My wariness is that TR is going to fall into the trap that modders have fallen into many times- where they start to get way, way too big headed. And eventually they're going to start putting their vision before Bethesda's work, so to speak, that somebody's going to say 'let's do this cool thing', and someone points out 'that's a good idea, but there's this thing in the original game that completely refutes it' and the response is going to be 'gently caress that, this is OUR GAME now, we're making it how we want and gently caress Bethesda'. So in the end, someday, we'd load up Morrowind+TR and play through the main quest, then all of a sudden Caius turns out to be a Sixth House agent and all these things you did were helping the ENEMY, and now you have to go kill Caius wherever he was and collect this UBER SWORD that is the ONLY THING that can kill Dagoth Ur's LOVER, but you fail and she survives and after you kill Dagoth Ur you have to track her down because she's PREGNANT with the ANTICHRIST. (Yes, I'm being completely ridiculous, that's the point) Of course, I'll admit if there is any modding team I have faith in to pull it off and pull it off well with respect to the original game, it's Tamriel Rebuilt. I just don't see the point in taking a chance. TR was, to me, perfect as it was. I'm just concerned that this small step, acceptable as it is for the sake of greater immersion, is going to be a slippery slope.

Morrowind's modding community has always had a strength that the Oblivion and Skyrim communities have lacked- since you don't have to have voiced content, it's a lot easier to create high-quality work. So a significant bunch sticks around. TR tried to mostly migrate to Oblivion with Hammerfell, but the division between the Morrowind and Hammerfell projects left both floundering and they spun HF off onto its own project where it died a quiet, inevitable death. I think, in a way, this is that their team has felt that they've been unnecessarily restricted by the 'stark divide' between Vvardenfell and the Mainland. So I have a feeling that, in addition to 'creative freedom', this is also hoping to fire up the team and get them more excited. I'm not so sure if that's a good gain- in my opinion, having clearly defined boundaries is a better avenue for creativity than open season on whatever you want to edit, since you have to find creative ways to work within those bounds.

What is the absolute bare minimum I need to do to get this running on Windows 8.1 at 1080p? I bought this during the Steam sale since my first Elder Scrolls game was Oblivion on the 360. Needed to fill in my gap in history. Dated or not I want to be as true to the vanilla game as possible, the only mods I'd want is one to get it running at native resolution and not crash on Windows 8.1.

Any advice for a neophyte? I played Morrowind back in the day on Xbox and it remains one of my favorite games to this day. This will be my first time playing it on PC and I'm feeling a little lost. I'm running it on an hp Pavillion dvt6 laptop thats about 5 years old at this point. I've got 2.27 GHz i5 CPU, 4 gigs of RAM, and an integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD(DXDiag says I've got 1696 MB of memory). I'm running 64-bit Windows 7. Because of this I'm hesitant to go with a lot of graphical enhancement mods because of my wimpy graphics capabilities, but I am interested in basic improvements like Better Bodies, Better Heads, and the Better Clothes. I'm mainly interested in additional content mods. More places to go, more quests to complete, houses to buy, strongholds to build, and lots of roleplay opportunities. I liked the Farmer mod in the OP because it seems right up my ally in that you can grow your little plot up to a huge plantation. Where do I go from here? I've got the steam version (installed in Program Files x86)and all I've done so far is disable UAC, set my exe's to run as admin, and modified the created dates of my bsa's to 2002.

Read the rest of the OP and download mods that sound cool  There's a ton of stuff there, we can't suggest mods at random without knowing what you want. "More quests" is vague as hell. If you haven't played it since xbox don't download many quest mods and just play the vanilla game.

Yeah, the best recommendation is to google search for old mod lists and read through it and pick and choose the mods that seem most interesting to you. The Obvious Choice, of course, is Tamriel Rebuilt, which is everything you want at high quality and a lore-friendly package. As for graphics mods, though, I'd heartily recommend MGE XE for Distant Land, which will completely change Morrowind for you, and has very wide ranges for graphics.

Ogg's megapack would work best for you, since it has the mods you want and doesn't demand much graphically IIRC. MGE-XE probably wouldn't be able to do much with your integrated card, but the Morrowind Graphics Optimizer can at least allow you to see farther if your framerate is too low with MGE. Both of these are linked in the OP. As for content mods, that's an incredibly broad and subjective category (as the posters above me mentioned), so I haven't put very many mods in that part of the OP. Try going to the major mod sites like Morrowind Nexus, The Bethesda Forums, or Great House Fliggerty and searching there.

MGE is a graphics mod, with MGE-XE being a bigger, better version, correct? I couldn't find anything that gave a clear breakdown of what they did. MGO would be a plugin that allows me to tweak the performance once I've stalled MGE? Would I need to install any community patches to fix issues in the game and make it compatible with most mods? Or would they already be included in the Ogg pack?

Morrowind is one of the few games i can completely immerse myself in and these should help.
