📋 About This Mod
Enhances the environment around Balmora without landscape edits. I made it for my modded game because these areas seemed empty to me, but tried to keep the changes subtle.
Requires OAAB Data!
Compatible with:
- Vanilla Balmora,
- Beautiful Cities of Morrowind (and probably some other Balmora city mods, if they don't do any drastic changes beyond the city walls). BCOM is recommended, because it adds more rocks around the city, but it's not required.
Also recommend:
- Stonewood pass (RandomPal's edit)
- Moonlight on the Odai River (checked its version included with BCOM patches)
- Vanilla-friendly West Gash Tree Replacer or just vanilla trees work fine, probably incompatible with other tree replacers
You can see all these mods combined in my screenshots + Graht Trees
Rocky West Gash (only BCOM or Aggressively compatible versions work with my mod)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 174 endorsements and over 26k downloads.
- No landscape edits means fewer conflicts with other mods.
- Explicitly compatible with several popular Balmora overhauls.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is cut off, leaving some compatibility details unclear.
- Last updated in 2023, so may not be tested with the latest Morrowind modding tools.
- Small scope—only adds arches and a waterfall, so it's not a major overhaul.
For Morrowind players who want a subtle visual upgrade to Balmora without breaking their existing mod setup. If you're using popular city overhauls like Beautiful Cities, this is a safe addition. Skip if you're looking for a full Balmora remake—this is a minor touch.

- If you use a mod manager like MO2, install it there to keep your load order clean.
