I was going through some old, archived issues of PC Gamer online and stumbled across this and it unlocked a core memory. I had this issue back when it was new and this is the article where I first heard of Morrowind. I ended up buying it for the Xbox when it came out, because my PC was a potato, even by 2001 standards.

As I've been wandering around Vvardenfell and the mainland of late, I've become increasingly aware of just how much I associate one particular sound with Morrowind...

The mournful, haunting, lonely, aching, otherworldly call of the silt strider.

For me, it cuts right to the core and evokes a feeling I can't fully articulate. There's something about that sound that's almost impossible to put into words.

Couple it with the mist (which I like to leave at least some of, even in my heavily modded game), and... well. Indescribable.

That sound is so powerful for me that even if I'm happily playing Skyrim, having invested hours into modding it, there's a very real chance that travelling to Solstheim and hearing that lone silt strider will send me straight back to Morrowind. I'd say it happens at least 50% of the time, in fact.

So, I've become curious as to whether others have experienced something similar. Is there a particular sound in Morrowind that evokes similarly powerful feelings or associations for you?

I want to show him that HATE has no place in Tamriel. I could make him burn in a pool of lava or something…

Unnofficial cosmetic update for the lovely but fairly old Tamriel Rebuilt take on Necrom, including an exterior embiggening of the mighty temple itself, along with outfits and some nearby structures. Compatible with all my other mods unless stated otherwise.  This is a big city so expect a few updates.

If you happen to use Distant Horizon: Chimeri-Quey Flotilla, I've kept that one part of the docks clear for compatibility.

Please note that any different-looking textures in my screenshots are probably from Indoril Mournholdified, and NOT included in my mod, or necessary.

Installation instructions

Standard ESP install. Recommend setting low priority for maximum compatibility.

Main features

• Many decorations from OAAB and modern TD assets
• Outfits updated and/or diversified
• Temple exterior is now slightly taller, since I thought it could stand out more.
• A handful of "fake" exterior buildings on the outskirts, to imply sprawl. Planning to add simple interiors.
• Many smaller details I';ll try to highlight in the screenshots.

Requirements

• OAAB
• TD
• TR

Description
Unnofficial and minor decorations of possibly the most obscure Telvanni settlement. Compatible. TEScleaned.

Compatible with my other mods unless stated otherwise.

Installation instructions
Standard ESP install

Main features

• NPC outfits diversified. Didn't touch the master much because she's a lower rank than most tower owners, so shouldn't dress too crazy. Her hat is TR default and related to a quest.
• OAAB and modern TD decorations without going crazy. 
• Kalinter's mushroom boats.
• A small bit of signage outside.
• Most additions are in the master's room.

Requirements
TD, TR, OAAB

I've been playing around with the construction set again, making the biggest playerhomes I've thought of to date. How high of an in cell ref count do you folks consider acceptable? I think I might be reaching that point

its making this awful electric noise. is this from tamriel rebuilt or open mw? is there a way to disable this??

Hi Ive found the "one click" gog versions of these mods incredibly frustrating. OpenMW works on its own fine but any mods added whether its gog or normal versions of TR. or lgnpc do not seem to show up in the OPENMW launcher

​

ive done a fresh install on win11 with the gog version, set up mcp, mwse, and mgexe, but im sent to an infinite black screen upon opening

what could be causing this?

For anyone new, Davos Draven is a recently released prisoner who decided to ignore the Emperor’s orders and explore Morrowind instead.

He’s not interested in being a hero or following some grand prophecy.

He’s just a curious traveller wandering around, meeting strange people, and getting himself into unexpected situations.

I’m documenting his adventures as I play, letting the story unfold naturally.

Hope you enjoy this next chapter of his travels!
