📋 About This Mod
Blighted Blight
Description
This mod uses MWSE-lua to implement the possibility of contracting blight diseases while out in a blight storm (similar to Half11's Blight Storms Restored, but using MWSE).
Each time you move from one cell to another, and the weather in the new cell is a blight storm, there will be a chance of contracting a random blight disease. This applies when moving from inside to outside, and when traveling from one exterior cell to another. (It does not apply when entering an interior cell.)
The base chance of contracting a blight disease is 10% on each cellchange into a blight storm (this chance is configurable in the Mod Config Menu). This base chance is modified by any Resist Blight Disease (or Weakness to Blight Disease) you have. For example, Resist Blight Disease 100 means you're immune, 50 points will cut the chance in half, and 50 points of Weakness to Blight Disease will increase the chance by half.
Any new blight diseases added by mods in your load order will be detected by Blighted Blight, and will be added to the list of blight diseases you can catch.
Installation
Use a mod management tool such as Wrye Mash, or just copy the MWSE directory to your Data Files directory.
Requirements
This mod requires MGE XE and the latest version of MWSE 2. 1. Just install MGE XE and run MWSE-Update.exe to download the latest build.
Recommendations
This mod works very well with Creeping Blight, which implements an increasing possibility of blight storms outside of Red Mountain before the Main Quest is complete.

Credits
I was inspired to create this mod by Half11's Blight Storms Restored. This mod does basically the same thing as Half11's mod with a few small differences, except it uses MWSE.
Thanks also to Merlord for the code to get a list of all the game's blight diseases, including mod-added ones.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds a layer of danger to blight storms, making them more than just a visual nuisance.
- Uses MWSE-lua, which means it can hook into the game deeply for a seamless experience.
- Decent community support with 186 endorsements and over 2,500 downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 — may have compatibility issues with newer MWSE versions or mods.
- Requires MWSE-lua, so it won't work for vanilla or OpenMW players.
- No detailed documentation provided, so you might need to figure out installation and compatibility on your own.
For Morrowind veterans who want to add a survival twist to their playthroughs, especially those who enjoy risk-reward mechanics. If you're a modder or player who already uses MWSE-lua mods, this is a natural addition. Skip if you prefer a more relaxed experience or don't use MWSE.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the latest version of MWSE installed, as this mod relies on it.
- If you use a mod manager like Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
- Test the mod in a save before a blight storm to ensure it triggers correctly.
