📋 About This Mod
This is a replacer for crystals you can find in Telvanni buildings and some caves.
This mod will replace the telvanni crystal by a new and improved model. There is also a new texture.
I'm learning blender, and I was basically learning texture baking today, and I get this. It's not perfect, but it's not going to have any negative impact on your game. There is a little bit more polygons but nothing crazy. No imcompatibilities known, and works in OAAB and TR dungeons.
Was only tested in OpenMW last official release. Shouldn't pose any problems but just in case let me know in comment if you get one.
If you have all white crystals, there is a little patch for this bug in optional files, thanks to ekkimala :)
You can use this the way you want, as long as you credit me. But it's a little bit of a mess to work with, I really focus on the texture making.
To install, just put the Meshes and Textures in your Data Files. To uninstall, just remove the in_t_crystal_01.nif and in_t_crystal_02.nif in your Meshes/i and remove tx_t_crystal_01.dds in your Textures.
Better Telvanni Crystal is a simple texture replacer for the crystals found in Telvanni buildings and some caves in Morrowind. With 505 endorsements and over 62k downloads, it's a popular, lightweight visual improvement for fans of the Telvanni aesthetic.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 505 endorsements and 62k downloads—clearly hits the mark.
- Lightweight and focused: just improves the look of Telvanni crystals without touching anything else.
- Last updated in 2022, so it's recent enough for modern Morrowind setups.
⚠️ Cons
- No screenshots or detailed description—you're going in blind on the visual change.
- Only affects Telvanni crystals, so if you wanted broader crystal overhauls, this won't cover it.
For Morrowind players who love the Telvanni aesthetic and want a quick visual upgrade to those iconic glowing crystals. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a comprehensive texture overhaul—this is purely cosmetic and narrow in scope.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to extract the mod files into your Morrowind Data Files folder, and if you're using a mod manager like Wrye Mash or MO2, let it handle the installation to avoid overwriting issues.
- Since this is a texture replacer, it should work with most mods, but if you have other crystal texture mods, load order matters—place this one after to ensure it takes effect.
- If you're playing with the Morrowind Code Patch or MGE XE, no special compatibility steps are needed, but always check the mod's comments for any reported issues.
