📋 About This Mod

Bethesda Official Plugins Naturalized

Part of the May 2022 Modathon

Part of the 2022 May Modathon

Official Plugins Naturalized (OPN) is an updated take on Bethesda's Official Plugins, and is incompatible with Unofficial Morrowind Official Plugins Patched (untouched Official Plugins have UMOPP changes included in this mod) or any mods that use Official Plugins as a base. Changes are lightweight but meaningful, and are intended to make the Official Plugins feel more usable in a modern modlist.

Forwards changes from the Adamantium Armor compatibility plugin from UMOPP with some changes:

  • []Implemented Adamantium Helm sales.[/]

    []Added dialogue about adamantium armor and reference to the mainland.[/]

    []Added some unique implementation around Vvardenfell (so the player can theoretically find one full set around Vvardenfell without purchasing it)[/]

    BC Sounds Naturalized

    Forwards changes from the BC Sounds plugin from UMOPP with some changes:

    - New, harvestable Dragonfly ingredient.

    - Dragonflies now only appear during early morning and late evening.

    - Added glowmap to Dragonflies.

    Master Index Official Plugin Naturalized

    Forwards changes from the Master Index plugin from UMOPP with some changes:

    • []Implemented Propylon teleport scripts from Better Propylon Teleport Warp.[/]

      []Added requirements to be able to start the quest (Mages Guild membership, at least rank of Evoker, or being at least level 5).[/]

      []Added the capability to purchase a new master index for 2500 gold in the case of losing the index.[/]

      []Improved dialogue around the master and propylon indices.[/]

      Area Effect Arrows Naturalized

      Forwards changes from the Area Effect Arrows plugin from UMOPP with some changes:

      • []Rebalances new arrows, bolts, and darts.[/]

        []Updated interior for Aradraen's shop.[/]

        []Added some unique dialogue to Aradraen and Foreign Quarter Lower Waistworks.[/]

      Helm of Tohan Official Plugin Naturalized

      Forwards changes from the Helm of Tohan plugin from UMOPP with some changes:

      []Increased the capability of the Adamantium Helm of Tohan to have an armor rating of 80 (matching daedric).[/]

      [*]The rumor pointing players in the right direction won't appear until level five, and isn't guaranteed the first time you ask about rumor
