✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and straightforward—just adds greenery to Balmora, no complex scripts
- Small but dedicated following (28 endorsements) suggests it works as advertised
- Perfect for Morrowind players who want a more lush, natural look without major overhauls
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2011—may have compatibility issues with modern mod setups or Morrowind Code Patch
- Only touches Balmora, so if you want other towns overhauled, this won't help
- No screenshots or detailed install instructions provided, so you're flying blind until you test it
For Morrowind players who love Balmora but wish it had more plant life. If you're doing a visual playthrough and want a quick, low-impact change to one of the game's most iconic towns, this is for you. Skip if you want gameplay changes or a full landscape overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using Morrowind Code Patch or OpenMW, test the mod early to ensure the added trees don't clip into buildings or NPCs.
- Since the mod is from 2011, consider using a mod manager like Wrye Mash to track and easily disable it if issues arise.
- Pair with a texture overhaul like Morrowind Enhanced Textures to make the new greenery blend better with the rest of the environment.
