📋 About This Mod

Collection of systems overhauls that provide a fresh way to experience Morrowind.

Continuo - A Gameplay Overhaul (OpenMW)

Continuo is a systems overhaul that seeks to provide a new, more engaging, way to play. One goal of Continuo is to extend the early-mid section of MW, that part before you become powerful. Another is to balance systems in compatible and lore-friendly ways that fit seamlessly into Morrowind.

Continuo is almost entirely lua-based, extremely lightweight, and seeks to be as compatible as possible with other mods. Scripts are written in a way that new items, for example, will appear in modded parts of the game (Tamriel Rebuilt, for example).

Continuo v2 - The Firmament

OpenMW-lua-based overhauls to the following systems:

Unpaused World - Time no longer pauses — the world continues moving while you manage inventory, read, or plan.

Death Reimagined - Death is no longer the end. Now, on death, you are revived at a sanctuary... for a price.

Resting Reworked - Resting outside settlements requires access to a physical bed. A new item, Camping Supplies, allows for convenient rest at a price.

(NEW IN v2) Birthsigns Redesigned - Starting Birthsign bonuses will fade after 7 days. From there, you collect items from around the world to create your own birthsign effects, with totally new abilities and effects.

NEW ITEMS dynamically added to the game via lua:

Camping Supplies - A deployable, single-use item that creates a temporary bed for resting in the wild.

Memory Scrolls - Rare consumables that grant a single point of skill or attribute growth when activated.

(NEW IN v2) Celestial Shards - Aspects of the constellations used to create your own Birthsign effects.

(NEW IN v2) Dwemer Celestial Harmonizers - Dwemer tools used in the new Birthsign creation process.

(NEW IN v2) New Books/Notes - 10+ New books and notes that serve to ground new items into Morrowind's lore.

.esp-based Overhauls to the following systems:

Skills - Natural skill progression is slowed to a crawl, making Training and Memory Scrolls the primary paths to advancement.

Economy - Services generally cost more, training is required, new items may tempt your coinpurse, the economy takes longer to reset... In short: Wealth accumulates more slowly and gold now meaningfully shapes decisions.

Compatibility Note:

Continuo integrates cleanly with content expansions such as Tamriel Rebuilt
