📋 About This Mod
This mod shrinks the size of the special blight cloud that hangs inside the crater of Red Mountain, just outside of Dagoth Ur.
This change helps prevent the blight cloud from clashing with SSAO, Sky, and Cloud shaders, without removing it entirely. See screenshots for before and after.
Also included is a modified version of the Dagoth Cloud texture, which reduces its brightness and increases its transparency. You may wish to use this if you use a sky shader that significantly darkens the skies over Red Mountain and Dagoth Ur.
A compact compatibility mod that shrinks the blight cloud in Red Mountain's crater to prevent visual glitches with shaders. Ideal for Morrowind players using graphical overhauls who encounter rendering issues in that area. Lightweight and straightforward, with modest community support.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a real problem for shader users—no more giant cloud clipping through everything
- Tiny download and install, takes seconds to set up
- 15 endorsements from a niche audience, but 8.7k downloads show it's getting used
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the blight cloud in Red Mountain—if you're not using shaders, this does nothing for you
- No detailed instructions or screenshots, so you're on your own for installation
- Last updated in November 2025, so it might not be tested with the latest shader packs
For Morrowind players who use shader mods and have noticed the blight cloud in Red Mountain looking broken or causing performance hits. Skip this if you play vanilla or don't care about that specific visual glitch—it's a one-trick pony.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like MO2, just drop the mod in and activate it—no load order worries for a mesh replacer.
- Test the Red Mountain crater area after installing to see the difference; if the cloud still looks off, check your shader settings for fog or particle overrides.
- This mod only changes the cloud size, so it won't affect other weather effects—pair it with your usual visual mods without conflict.
