📋 About This Mod
Decomposition of a Taxman
Death of a Taxman, the quest to solve the disappearance of Seyda Neen's missing tax collector Processus Vitellius, is no doubt one of the first quests most Morrowind players complete. And yet, even after the mystery is solved, poor Vitellius is left there to rot. Perhaps it is his spirit, aghast by this disrespectful treatment, which keeps his body from actually rotting. Decomposition of a Taxman corrects all of this, causing the body of Vitellius to decay from a fresh corpse to a exsanguinated body and finally to a skeleton half sunken in the muck. When the player alerts the authorities to this crime, they will collect the remains and prepare them for transport back to Cyrodiil in accordance with the deceased's faith and wishes.🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data
This immersion mod for Morrowind makes Processus Vitellius' corpse decompose over several days, transitioning from fresh to skeleton, and removes it once his murder is reported. A small but focused addition for players who value environmental storytelling and realism.

🎯 Is This For You?
For Morrowind players who appreciate environmental storytelling and want a touch of realism in Seyda Neen. If you're a roleplayer who notices details like a rotting corpse, this is for you. Skip if you want broader gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic and situational.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod in your Morrowind Data Files folder and activate it in the launcher or via a mod manager like Wrye Mash.
- If you use Morrowind Code Patch or OpenMW, test the mod early in a new game to ensure the decomposition triggers correctly.
- Since it's a simple script, it should be compatible with most mods, but avoid using it with other mods that alter Processus Vitellius' body or the quest.
