📋 About This Mod
So I had an unfinished mod laying around that added health regeneration via a birthsign. I'd already tested it and everything was working. I know there's a fair number of Magicka regen mods, but I wasn't aware of a good Health regen mod, so I created this.
You need at least 50 Endurance to regenerate Health, and at least 50 Willpower to regenerate Magicka.
I used a square root function, so while your regeneration isn't hard capped as long as you continue to increase your Endurance and Willpower, you will quickly get diminishing returns. At 75 Endurance/Willpower, you will regenerate 0. 5 Health/Magicka every 3 seconds (75 - 50 = 25, sqrt(25) = 5, 5 / 10 = 0. 5). At 150 Endurance/Willpower, you will regenerate 1 Health/Magicka every 3 seconds (150 - 50 = 100, sqrt(100) = 10, 10 / 10 = 1).
This mod takes into account the passage of time, and so takes into account resting/waiting and traveling via boat or silt strider. If you change the timescale, it will also affect the rate of regeneration.
This was made using OpenMW-CS, and thus is an .omwaddon. There's no reason it shouldn't work for vanilla Morrowind, though, but I can't make any guaranties. You can either use OpenMW to play Morrowind, or you can try just renaming the file and changing the extension from .omwaddon to .esp.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 297 endorsements and nearly 9.4k downloads.
- Adds a quality-of-life feature that many players miss from modern RPGs.
- Ties regeneration to stats, rewarding investment in Endurance and Willpower.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so may have compatibility issues with current Morrowind mod setups.
- Regeneration is slow even at the threshold, which might feel underwhelming for some.
- No detailed documentation provided, so you'll need to test settings yourself.
For Morrowind players who want a more modern convenience without trivializing the game's challenge. If you're tired of resting to heal and want a gradual recovery tied to your stats, this is for you. Skip if you prefer the vanilla no-regen experience or want faster regeneration.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have at least 50 Endurance and Willpower before expecting any regeneration.
- If you're using a mod manager like Wrye Mash, install this as a regular mod and activate it in your load order.
- Pair with a mod that adds a HUD display for health and magicka to see the regen in action.
