An alternative to Morrowind Rebirth - A modlist by RandomPal

As a gamer, I've always been extremely fascinated by the world-building of Morrowind and it's definitely what keeps me coming back to this fantastic game!

As a modder, almost all the mods I've released are related to locations and landscapes.

As you can imagine, over the course of the years I've tested and tried almost every town/location mod out there and I thought I'd share my knowledge with the community on this topic!

This mod-list's purpose is to provide a relatively small set of mods to replace what Morrowind Rebirth has to offer and with a result that's - in my opinion - superior in terms of lore/vanilla friendliness and accuracy.

I only selected mods that are vanilla/lore friendly. To give you an example, compare what Rebirth does to Ebonheart to what the mod suggested in this guide does. Or take a look at Balmora and Seyda Neen.

The goal here is to expand and improve the game we fell in love with in the first place rather than changing things without a precedent.

Morrowind Rebirth is a mod that does many things, but I think what people appreciate the most are its towns and dungeons overhauls, provided in a single package for convenience.

I cannot provide you with a single package, but with a list of mods which will allow you to make your own overhaul.

I want to make it clear that I'm not trying to bash Rebirth.

The purpose of the mod-list is simply to help people putting together what I think is the best version of Morrowind to play in 2024.

Please note that this mod-list is very focused on towns, dungeons and landscapes. If you need instructions about setup, graphical replacers, bugfixing ecc. there's already excellent guides you can follow and that are perfectly compatible with the mods listed here.

Lastly, I strongly recommend using PLOX.

So, let's get down to business!
